From the first sightings of manatees
grew the legends of mermaids? O, please!
Either eye tests are fails,
or the sailor’s from Wales,
and has spent too much time on the seas....

   I’ve seen fewer rats in my alley this year  
     quickly credited it to climate change

   But when I explained myself on local TV
     the reporter found me quite strange

Off 
The coast
Of Maui 
The northern whales
Migrate to the shores
To sun and raise
Their newborns

Downtown city lights
with breathtaking ambiance 
hides in her darkness
disparity ~homelessness
ensnared in her masquerade...



Inspired by numerous sightings of homelessness while traveling by train....

Such beauty,

on her peripheral.

Adorned with heathers and brackens bloomed.

Amidst, there lies a wonder, radiant, sulky.

Erosional twists, flow translucent carpet lay.

Deep she is, with a lurking cryptid,

Within her sightings, she,

is Loch Nis...

FALLS LEAVES

falls leaves us autumn
leaves fall off trees onto ground
O' the sightings and walking's
autumn fallen leaves
come raining floating down ward
fall downs the leave off the trees

Misty moments meet
Sample solemn streets


Clever curves cluster
Mindful moods matter


Starry sightings seek
Poignant puzzle peek


Silent stillness speaks
Primal pretty peaks


Cautious crazy come
Succinct statement sums

See the new day hurling:
Waves of goodwill breezing,
Welcome to new sightings.


See the jigsaw puzzle:
Push and pull of tussle,
Strain of mental muscles.


See raw impulse and tact:
Acts create that grand fact,
Circles move to enact.

A day is never wasted
If one thing has made you smile
Though that joy that you have tasted
Might just last a little while.

Still, a tiny bit of honey
Is enough to make life sweet
And there’s no amount of money
That can honestly compete.

So be grateful for those sightings
That have caused your face to grin
For the tiniest delightings
Keep the embers stoked within....

starkness invading, picture windows view
the wake of an invisible house through
the maze of forest oaks becoming blue.
seizure of sure Winter eyes, long night’s coup.

of red foxes, no sightings but a twig
snapping, turns chilly heads, as moonlight wigs
out at the littered floor, nocturnal rig —
cacophony of coyotes, the dig.

diamond rings
and romantic flings
stop being 
because the summer birds 
no longer sing
word?

broken wings
and exiled kings
write beautiful or ugly things
just beware of what this brings
have I never told you 
my fingers produce lighting
seriously!

hieroglyphic writings
rare sightings
and priceless findings
I hope rhymes like these
are more to your liking
thanks :)...

She is the starry night of my dreams 

I tumbled through the galaxy 

Each night to find her 

She breathe and I exhale her love so sweet 

Waiting many, many moons for us to meet 

I retreat 

She sprinkled star dust landing at my feet 

Strolling through moon beams 

Total eclipse sightings 

Waxing and waning 

It feels so exciting to be 

Drenched in her meteor shower....

Bright colours tint
Auspicious hint


Moments now show
Abundant flow


Live happy thoughts
Beautiful lot


Joy follows spring
Happiness flings


Love in full bloom
Prosperous rooms


Glimpses of grace
Miracles trace


Festive touch floats
Magnificent boat


Faith ushers hope
Blessings now scope


Lunar new year
Grand vistas dear

One goldfinch rest upon a weed
Eats a few seeds from the spirea 
Lands on birdbath's rim, drinks his fill
Across my vision, black butterfly unreal

two unusual
sightings in a few minutes....
Georgia summer morn   

We don't usually see Goldfinches here unless it is in their spring migration or their fall migration, so I was shocked. We don't see many of those black butterflies either....

Write your worries, if you have them, 
Let it down with pain and ink.
Pour your soul, let go your doubts,
Let them go and let them sink.

Will and write away your love-torn,
Heart-torn, For-lorn broken sighs.
Write away your heart-stop sightings
Rub the sand from young-old eyes.

Touch the place he took your heart from,
Face it so that it can heal,
Write until your hands stop shaking,
'Til you forget this pain was real....

visions of atmosphere
scattered illuminate
faintly lid, the world is blear
the latitude of nighttime sky
flaunts itself on a silhouette pier
evening gives up to nautical dusk
sightings of air on skin are brusk
still there’s a residue
of eerie mystic hue
covering wet rocks
lighthouses through and through
deserted cityscapes
queues of sea mews
moments of magic
making the time subdue
moments of faraway
mists tinged gold and blue...

'Neath starry skies I sit and muse
Enjoying the heavenly views
Distant marvels beyond compare
 Thoughts shift beyond this atmosphere
To celestial life out there
With sightings of UFO's passing near
 But  Never   landing  anywhere
Will these aliens ever dwell  here?
Or are they life forms we should fear?
Perhaps  a fictional affair
Fact or fiction, it can  confuse
  Let your imagination choose

Browse and take a look
Word clusters can hook


Verse scripts feel mellow
Meaning now swallows


Sculpt such clever finds
Reason charms clear mind


Word for word now dash
Conflict cradles clash


Ideas muzzle time
Vague affairs shade rhymes


Cash and carry stuff
Outcome funds enough


Listen as heart floods
Pulse of anxious blood


Explore odd sightings
Lines now wandering

Sense surreal strains
Prime profound pain


Mind mystic moods
Grief gathers good


See sensuous sights
Lift laughter light


Charm crafts crisp cheer
Nurture nice near


Freeze-frame fond fest
Zoom zealous zest


Bloom beaming boom
Rapture reaps room


Seek sightings sound
Gain gracious grounds


Meet meek mystic
Mind moves magic


Start sublime speech
Notch nimble niche

On many a Sunday, he was a mobile barber
He played a guitar, a harmonica, and hair clippers
He drove 10 miles, delivering us clean cuts and music
People called him Bluesman; we just called him Mr. Wade
A friend of my dad, he always kept us cute, cut, and trimmed                                                                                             
Sightings of Bluesman on the internet brings sweet memories
