Blond daisies strip petals softly
              in nearest trembling grains snow.
                 Sunshines stumbles scarcely
        above ever rich had daisies' seeding grow....

i have it
like Dave's name
a wonder gadget
that polishes sorrow
a flower sobs
nothing remains salt
rappelling through trees
seeding my womb
nothing remains globs
anywhere anymore anytime...

fatherless husband
loins aching for progeny 
empty wombs await seeding
childless mothers cry
opening soft pocket sighs
stoking the steel thorns rising

Cotton is picked
before cloth is made
Footings poured
to support the stage

Laws enacted
before crimes take place
Love embracing
— for hearts to break

Though a butterfly is with us,
For such a short time,
It’s not longevity,
That captivates one’s mind,
Its beauty is uncontested,
Its aerial ballet serene,
So thank you dear butterfly,
For seeding my dream...

I hear a hen cackling, 
after laying the egg
gently flapping,
 her wings in excitement
what does she announce
 to the world?
 her joy over seeding the Earth

is it the same joy,
a mother feels after childbirth?...

Sunny days are really warming
Evening makes you become yawning
Everybody is laughing while working
Digging seed to get good cropping
Ivy poison is a dreadful thing
Needs medicine to heal your rushing
Getting ready to prepare for Thanksgiving...

The thing that saves us
from all of life’s pain,
never disappoints,
never births a tear.
eliminates fear…

blind faith feeding,
blind hope seeding,
sacred hope-dope
brings on the joy.

Ecstasy,
elation,
light the dark…

Hope is
precious

flame.

The pathways we follow
   are too oft chosen for us

Our birthplace or breeding 
   as to flowers their seeding

Schools and society too have their way
   framing whatever they want us to say

Hearts need to express their deepest yearnings
   toward the pathways our feet someday will be turning...

Dying Alive
             by Odin Roark

Cultivating
Seeding
Nurturing
Weathering
Gathering 

How generous the bounty
Bruised and perfect
Life’s full basket 
Hoisted upon the shoulders of experience
Carried as pain’s reward
Needing not a marketplace
Accepting fruition as recompense
Knowing wealthy are those
Who die healthy of mind...

PASSAGE   OF   TIME


The future lies long ago  -
I will be a father, and
Our house will be solid and storm proof
Forty years ago.

Our children will be so good at school
Thirty years ago.

And become doctors and teachers
Twenty years ago.

We will retire last year  -
We passed so many tomorrows
Seeding, growing, and planning
So many yesterdays....

Salubrious antipasto
Trimmed to be vociferous
Left without the tympani
Holding up a symphony
Greased well guaranteed articulate
Inundated synchrony
Molded into ebony
Gone on before the starting gate
Innate
Careening toward a screening
Where is all this the leading?
A gracious over-seeding
All sliding towards a feeding
In generosity I ate...

Slinging boomerangs from a faraway crag.
             Over ocean, mountain and the tundra of living.
                             Slicing chests of the wayward and vulnerable.
                 Seeding souls with fear of the greatest alone.
             Circling back to grasp the palm of the slingers.
Wearing the red meat from the heart of dreamers....

SNOWBIRD VARIATIONS

chirping merrily
black midst an awful whiteness
fat snowbirds seeding 

once in a while
a twiggy branch comes alive
snowbird fluffing

lazy winter’s watch
overcoming tedium
suddenly – snowbirds	

a beautiful frost
flaming red against the snow
winter cardinal

the frost coated limbs
winter’s cold magical scene
blackbirds brush the sky...

He peers into his mind
for the once planted, 
the once loved,
the still flowering, 
the motley,
the wilderness blooms.

Without this retrospection
his mind would be a ramshackle plot,
so he tends to it, 
even the briers and thorns.

Memory nourishes
flourishes from the seeding,
it also dead-heads and uproots.

There are many ways to garden....

Feel the warm breeze, crisp
Electricity moves storm
Heavens connection


Soar on golden leaves
Looking, watching, waiting, change
We go with the wind


Tracks on white mountains
Cold to the touch, warm hearts full
Playful creative


Birth of memories
Seeding sprouts for our wellness
Seasonal passage

... the swimmer
swam up the tube
within a frantic assemblage
of other swimmers
pushing
shoving
striving
writhing
towards an egg queen serene
in a womb room needing
swimmers for seeding
begetting gametes to collide
and form a more perfect union as
a zygote only a mother could love.
Fish-eyed unfeathered fetus
eons 
     beyond
           the beginning....

Shadorma

 Color me
blue bliss and orange
morning smiles;
its green births
in a many colored field;
flowers bloom.

My green thumb
re-seeding the ground
blue blossoms,
day lilies
of orange I must dead-head,
await me.

Nature’s way,
beauty in blossoms;
nutrient rich
nectar sipped
by tiny brown honey bees, 
sweetest dew.

Emily Post wrote a note to
William Tell and his apple.

A book, a quiver, a river;
Shoot an arrow right in the
Heart of a big, deviled egg.

Go to Heck, and live to tell
The story of Adam, Eve and
The Apple. Sweet and juicy!

Charlie Brown and Lucille Ball
He finally caught ball in the Fall.
Peanuts for elephants and reading.
Good breeding is the key to seeding....
