The Mountain

I sprinted down the mountain,
With progress in my heart
Snow-whipped face, wailing wind
Between the peaks that stood apart.
But somewhere on that mountain
I found myself in a pinch
Despite the running, heaving, panting,
I had not moved an inch.

Pre Easter Bunny

In my back yard Mr. Bunny sprinted past me, as if to say, “Look how fast I am!” The day before Easter I spied him beside my forsythia. All twitchy-nosed and watching my house. Perhaps there is a real Easter Bunny! I must check my yard for eggs.

Galvanic Cell

It all starts off at the anode,
where the electrons are lost,
they went bumping and shooting through the wire
and set the voltmeter on fire. 
There's a huge crash-land in the cathode,
where the cations are reduced,
then the anions sprinted back through the salt bridge,
and electricity is produced.

Sound Asleep Did Bury Deep

he is sound asleep
did bury my dead cat (Henry) deep
then will cry and weep

no more reliance
life is full of avoidance
contains defiance

each night seems so still
when we did hear whippoorwill
on our windowsill

God always hinted
wait until He consented
then to church sprinted

we gave God a test
kill sinners who are a pest
help bird build her nest

Bumpy Loop and Loopy Bump

Bumpy Loop and Loopy Bump,
Jumped off a speeding train,
But both were rather fortunate,
And lived to jump again.

Bumpy Loop just bounced and bounced,
For he was round and rubbery,
Loopy Bump went flying down,
And crushed into a shrubbery. 

The speeding train kept rolling on,
And sprinted out of sight,
Now Bumpy Loop and Loopy Bump,
Are stuck there in the night.

God My Attorney On a Journey

God always hinted
What we did He consented
to church se sprinted

went on long journey
while God was our attorney
our sins would bury

when we would grapple
God did give us an apple
took with to chapel

we looked way out far
Saw God who is shining star
in Carolina tar

born in land of free
God was like a shining sea
flowing over me

while sitting on shore
God made rain which would pour
He made more and more

The Indifference of Dirt

I glimpsed love nestled in the blush of a cloud
and thought it were fated to never come down.
Then in a sudden divine gilded cloudburst
it flashed before me and kissed the good earth.
I sprinted over to behold the last of its mist
a ruby bleeding into its final moment of bliss.
We wept forever  amidst the indifference of dirt
a piece of slag and a ruby mired in the cool earth
never capturing the gloaming of lovers unblemished-

His Power Animals

Strong Elk 
young optimistic brave
sprinted through the forest shadows 
his heart was pounding wildly

timber wolves followed
They communed with him in silence
a gray owl began to hoot
Hoot Hoot Hoot 

Brave feels protected 
by Father Sky
Who has honored him 
by sending both of his power animals

He slows down his steps 
the urgency of his quest diminished
his breathing slows; he is no longer afraid 
For he is no longer alone

Our Town's Oval

Years have long dashed and sprinted
Round and round our town's old oval
Now abandoned, gone under to grass
An eerie site even for the bravest local

Some say on drizzle-darkened nights
The racetrack does visibly tremble
With cheers and raucous jubilations
Races fought by the fast and the nimble

Screams surge from a non-existent crowd
Echo distant yet distinct in the mind
Of one who has long been absent
From a neighborhood left so far behind.
