green caterpillars crawling
rotten pears falling...

Fir tree branches drop 
scent of fir mingles in air 
outdoors comes alive...

Fatcat,
Hairy nuisance
Sprawling over bedsheets
Crowding limited sleepspace with
Blubber....

off goes loose aged moss
nomad of sprawling bandlands ~
carried by the wind

jonquils and forsythia
warm my winter blues

Cancer: Could It Be?

A periwinkle the cure sprawling on the ground, not found.

Building castles out of stardust--


and sprawling cities lit by starlight.


The arranger stands on
geometric borders-


unobtrusive to the rebel's dream....

Autumn

Leaves falling,
Winter stalling,
Firewood hauling,
Geese calling,
Couch sprawling,
Footballing.

viewed by astronauts,
Earth is a massive blue sphere
stand outside at night, look up

see a universe
filled with sprawling galaxies
we’re but specks of creation...

Before Rene Descartes does this world depart 
he gives analytic geometry its big head start 
from bugs that draw graphs crawling on his ceiling; 
as he lies sprawling, sick in bed, reeling....

The destination I envision,
A stone house on open land,
Sprawling land for all to explore,
A garden of vegetables,
Orchards as well,
I can pray,
For my plan to lead down,
The settling dreams....

Winter
snowflakes falling
feathery soft, calling
emerald pines heavy, sprawling
frosty

Cletus O'Toole tested the slopes at Vail

   He met some trees as he sped t'ward the vale

      'Twas a short-lived journey

         Sprawling on a gurney

            His hapless schuss left him woozy and pale...

A fellow would frequently sprawl
Didn't mind where or if he did crawl
All over a place
Or on his head or face
Till one day crashed and hit the wall!

swing alone, heavy branch
golden tone, sneakers scranch

in falling…enhancement 
of sprawling-enchantment

leafing deep, Autumn’s rush
two foot leap, noontime hush

i will miss sierra vista
but not the people
i will miss the purple peaks
and the heavy hikes to them
looking at a sprawling sunrise
while im lying wide awake

i will miss sierra vista
but not he people
cause all the good guys
that i like
are leaving with me...

Starry Night
A bluing sky
Seascape
Aloft
Squalls
Adrift
Currents flowing
Starfish swirls
Stirs heaven
Midst a dark purge
Tamed voices
Outcrops a town
Pellucid
Envision
A
Work of art
Goes
Sprawling

Heel, breaking the plane;
Subtle distance unexpected - 
Body charged numb
With fear of death,
Or perhaps the fear
Of not quite dying.

Clutching at items,
Clutching at nothing.
As your fists curl in
A whoop of breath
Escapes,
Sprawling,
Fallen,
Or saved
From a lower stair’s perspective....

Influencers, passing fancies of the moment
  to end up on the sprawling pile of disappointents
    along with Cabbage Patch, Pet Rock, and Ninja... 

  Though I can at least relate to the three above
  whereas Influencers despair of Love ~
    their insides empty of any
    Truth, out it's shoved...

Autumn  leaves will soon be falling
 Summer holds on a little while
 Winter snow will soon be calling
 Autumn leaves will soon be falling
 While on the ground leaves are sprawling 
  Yet Spring will come once more to smile
 Autumn  leaves will soon be falling
 Summer holds on a little while

Lionise longing love,
Sprawling supercilious stuff,
Crystalline compatible craving,
Romantic rapturous revealing,

Inevitable intrepid iridescent,
Memorable mystic magnificent,
Vibrant vivacious vitiates,
Salubrious succour speculates !

Winter's Serenity

                               Downy white snow falls,
                               Embracing trees bony boughs,
                               Calm, sequestered birds,
                               Purring, preening feral cats,
                               A sprawling landscape, serene....

Rays of early morn
petals sprawling on the lawn
dewdrops shimmer in the sun
like pearl shells clinging
light the breeze trilling
as sunset comes to enthrall.

Peach the fruit in arms
sheer, round, and full of charms
bouncing along the stem of tree 
juicy as  one summer clad
sweet time for moments that add
the blessings skies share each day....

And the praying mantis is baying
for an excursion to sunnier chimes
The Sun goes down
bored casting shadows
Have you heard this one?
obscene said the Minister for good taste.
And the Moon wishes it was somewhere else
as our sprawling vows break up
like the crumbling of rocks
Fortitude dear one
said the purveyor
never to raise again...

True feelings concealed craftily
beneath the saccharine sheathe,
toxic fantasy of self items fostered
by the colors of chameleon skin.

Sprawling spurious emotions,
pretentiously paraded skillfully,
away from the edge of reason,
epitomize the camouflaged ego.
