Short Sc Poems

Deep cold my bones vex,
are we being hit by a
new polar vortex?...

propelled by the wind
dry, brittle brown leaves sc-rape

Waves call out in song,
Sea breeze teases sunlit hair—
Sands of time await.
Flip-flops mark our path to peace,
Horizon holds dreams aloft....

Beneath the sunset,  
tall sweet grass sways silently,  
Charleston Bay sighs.  
Gold kisses green at day's end,  
gentle waves of amber light....

sunshine glancing down
makes shadows
floating on the ground

shadows moving across
while patterns of sunshine shift
fading too soon

All Things About South

Down to last bit and we should be conserving;
For long while,
Southern style,
And whole place we feel like we are desrving.

Life Ended In Window Suspended

No matter what my cat intended;
Was almost like his life had ended;
A new craze;
Constant gaze.
Stared out window as if suspended.

Jim Horn

We are staying at Comfort Suites in
Cary, NC. It is a real pretty city.

We are waiting out affects of
Florence. It was even near
Florence, SC. The rivers are
all bankrupt after having left
their banks. Ho, ho....

surrounded by incredibly 
talented 
oracular 
spectacular individuals
bonded by word 
spoken
yet  heard to the third....
Power!
awake 
within the stillness
this hour 
harmonically invested
spiritual benevolence 
fuels their army of relevance
  
the rarest  people you'll meet
standing up for freedom
feet to the street 
sharing their fearless soul
with body and mind aligned
complete
in control

*(dedicated to Moody Black's Upstate S.C. Poetry team, and Dr. Richard Moss)...

at the same time, sharing night's art,

spooning our love with each lonely heart.
