Ferns high overhead
Cool and shady on the path
Sun rays slant the green....

rays slant at evening
        I am dozing to bee sounds
               shadows move upward

Slant light lances
     stabbed through clouds
         of thick grey,
Wetness fills the sky
And falls on all....

Taiwan makes Xi's eyes really slant
Jinping rants how freedom just can't
Rule over this place
That belongs to his race
So he'll grab it as part of a land grant...

More of Matt Lauer

Maybe Megan possibly is some plant;
Determine Matt's misconduct and slant;
On not rely; 
Roving eye;
God never agreed and did rave and rant.

an echo in repeat
changing meaning to rhyme
with homonym or slant
a poetic devise
Greek in its origin
meant to be read out loud
troubadours preferred song

Bad news slant
Pain cuts blunt


In a glance
A burnt chance


Loss speaks well
Vain words dwell


By last gate
Death marks fate

each breath a chant
to straighten our slant 
that we may stand erect
our aura bliss mist flecked 
as the universe too conspires
to bestow what our soul aspires

there’s no cause to complain...

Brooding in the uncertain footpath 
A new slant is not seen nearly 
Holding back to think clearly 
Which steps to follow next
Dwelling in a bleak
Dead end tunnel
Hoping to
See the
Light

Nativity

Twilight in the stable
 Soft rays slant in radiance
Lingering voices and starlight
 Swaddle the eternal light
Serenading the Word
 Who sang them into life

Yell 'n tell, here and now 
And again felt myself yowl
I grasped that slant 
As the skirt of a poem chant

Howl of voice and pen
Shout, articulate, vast in gist yen
Quill 'n reed in actuality
O' I bend one's ear, tittle-tattle lyrically...

…And there’s the wine
Of red, rose and white
In a slant cellar

Red as in red of your blood
Rose as in rose of your lovely prose
White as in white of your purity of life

If, one must choose
I chose you, sweet blood…
For my lonely heart...

out
   of the
     ordinary
the
fantastic
    appears,
a vivid
    emblem
an image
    superimposed,
an amalgam
blossoming
    slowly
in
a
slant
   of
     light,
dappled
yet
   layered
in the
    dim light..
peppered
with rythm...

MOMENTS 10  SPIRAL


Watch your word wit
Yes the stray bits
Fit slant to wit


Be just and brave
Dare your self save
Count with the brave


Here time and space
Await the grave
Live well your space

There was a slant of golden light--
Though the twilight turned to pink;
That for its beauty gave me pause,
As well the chance, to think.

And to ponder as the changing hues
Turned to amethyst, the hill--
Were it not for all I have to do,
I would likely be there, still....

See sweet sensuous sizzling struggles slant
Bright beaming blossoms bursting blunt
Poise piques puzzling poignant plants
Live laughter lingers late
Glimpse gaudy gripe gate
Lazy looms late
Seek sound style
Proof piles
Smiles

Life changed in an instant
Explosion, posessions littered, poignant
Distant siren's wail, mother  chants,
My baby, my baby!! life shant
End today, only six month's delay-don't rant.
Posessions, my slant
can be replaced. Life can't!

The inn had gone to waste: I’d sold it off in haste.
Awaking in the gloom, as orbs lit up the room,
I recognised the ghost of Jonson, the old host.
I said, ‘I thought you’d come’ - and poured myself a rum.
He shouted, ‘Hey, you louse, how dare you sell MY house!’

Step by step
Flirt by flirt
Dance by dance
The sky advanced

Slant and twirl
In eye curl
Wild sea gull
Desire glanced

Sailing ships
Blossoming lips
Freedom fission
Moments danced

Smile by smile
Conquering miles
Into the Nile
I’m entranced

Stuff from old times
Odd as quaint rhymes
Hollow slant mimes


Queer as light streams
Out of sight dreams
Verse of strange beams


Such fallen trade
Cascade loud made
Stuffy grain grade


Cheer old vintage
In sad mintage 
Upon odd stage

we opted for a want
to create a slight slant
in as an imbalance
although with nonchalance
that energies kinetic
pulse of love aesthetic
induces polarities to converge
manifesting a bliss surge

within

desires to rest lain
our wabi-sabi stain
shaped in line of duty
enhances our soul’s beauty...
