Poor White

For Raul's "White Pumpkin" contest.


Pale ghost of Autumn,
Deep wrinkles on her weathered face...

Poor relation of her rubicund cousins,
Never chosen for jack-o-lantern ...

But inside, where it matters,
Her blushing flesh tastes of Summer,

Warm, 
Sweet, 
Golden Summer.


Colors of a Wintered Life

Imbued rose colors
of birth. Sky tinted billowed
petals, junked. Florid

gardens, immaculate.
Scents of citrus heavens. Bloodshot
tinctured cotton

colors. Rubicund 
chalk crumbles, powders highlands
thrusting. An ingress

kerfs a hyloid 
barrier. Cruer clots. Spook.
Cimmeran smudges.

Standing in the shadow of solitude, I’m mesmerized, staring up at a splendid, star-studded sky with a rubicund moon pinned to its heart; juxtaposed by a featureless sea of ebony silently expanding the shores of eternity; hidden in plain view, outside the reach of light and sight.


the universe glows billions of sparkling jewels~ darkness can't be seen

Super Moon

I await with great excitement the arrival of a Super Moon
Ascending in the western sky a spherical rubicund ethereal balloon
Appearing so much larger as she rises close to earth
A beautiful pregnant lady who is waiting to give birth

Premium Member Dark Red Moon

Was the moon in a bad mood?
It came up from over the horizon
Dark red, deep rubicund.
It rose slowly 
Following its normal pattern.
Still dark red, erubescent 
As if in anger.

I sat on the pusillanimous sand, alone.
Moody and irritable.
Now she had left.
And I'm sad and angry,
Unlike the wavelets
That flowed over the rim of the beach.
There will be no peace between us.

Still the moon shone 
Dark red.


Super Wolf Red Moon

I await with great excitement the arrival of a Super Moon
Ascending in the western sky a spherical rubicund ethereal balloon
Appearing so much larger as she rises close to earth
A beautiful pregnant lady who is waiting to give birth

Rubicund Fall


Tanned bright sienna leaves float down gently, 
Yellow and red and brown are aplenty;

Everywhere I go I'm drenched in leaf rain,
One by one they fall, all over again;

Raking up the fallen leaves, I'm dancing,
Along with the wind that's slow romancing;

Whistling with the breeze blowing through the trees,
Vermillion and burgundy weave with ease; 

Claret auburn shades I see everywhere,  
Autumn is here with its rubicund fair.
