Life's Work

Blue, spiny, varicose veins
years of hard work to appraise
clotted arteries heart's door strains
life's temporal lease instantly frays


New Strains

The God of Pandemics is silly
Displaying less sense than a lily
The rest of us know
The virus can't grow
Where no one has a 6' willie!

Premium Member Violins Versus Violinists

sweetest strains of violins
  played by gents with double chins

ecstasy, as they hit the highest 'C'
  if they'd only comb their hair on key

That old sun shines
Now once again
New feels divine
In trendy strains

I shape each verse
Strain metaphor
But still observe
Strains in decor

Upon the first strains
The entire audience stands...
Sing Hallelujah!!

Peck of Grains

I pick a history from the peck of grains;
Only my retention will take me far.
And through modest abasement will I unwrap it strains?

small rapture snail strains,
uncurls, searching in time's tick
nature's subtle crawl

Premium Member I'm Cuckoo, Nuts, Completely Daft

Like an addled cuckoo that garbles
the birdsong that he warbles,
I've experienced many strains.  
I've got gremlins in my brains,
and I've lost my marbles.

A Moment

Serenely the breeze blows past
Gently she inhales to consume it all
Stirred by sounds so isolate
She strains to hear the wind call
Gathering her wares she she walks on

Untitled #136 / Blemishes Appear

Now blemishes appear on the
painted gold metal surface, miniscule
scratches accumulated through the
strains of daily life.
Even watches cannot escape the yoke of time.

Humility

The wheat,  when rich with grains
Bends its stalks in Gratitude
The weed,  though it proudly strains
To raise itself,   yields no food.

WIT


Wit works better than hits
Act with sure intention
Bits find some awkward fit
Tact strains odd convention

My Aged Viola

Let me play the strains
Of those cadenced memories
And lost orchestrated dreams.

Strains that ebb and flow
From my blue rustic aged
Viola of loneliness.

Auscultation

Hearing vibrations
passivity strains
Learning to listen
hearkening reigns
Sound and resonance 
euphony binds 
Volition the ears
— eternity finds

What more than a whisper of wind
   can we demand on a starry night
With strains of violins in the background
   and a velvet-gloved waiter

Hammock of Sky In Tanaga

The hammock’s mesh strains the sky
Underneath arms stretch to touch
The velvet splendor of love
Azure beauty of the skies

Yearnings of Childhood

Yearnings of childhood
distant echoes
of mystery, magical trains
broken tracks
the mind —
often late past midnight
senses
the source
strains… reaches…
for stairwells
of 
explanations

Heartbreak

Myriad stars glitter
Sad music strains filter

Dreamily seen drifting
Seemingly your gifting

Horizon’s eye awakes
Sirens all but forsakes

Towers of rage thunder
Showers wept asunder

The Last Music

they heard the faint strains
of 'Amazing Grace' playing
on Scottish bagpipes

static and then buzz
a new pod victim had left
a radio on...

Birthplace
I’m raised

Big part
My heart

God’s gift
Hate drifts

Less strains
Love reigns

I long
Belong

Strong bond
Faith mound

Dreams’ core
Hope soars

I rest
The Best!

Premium Member Oboe

Of choirs so richly graced, Or melodies endowed, Other strains of new joys, Oboe sounds so vibrate, Oft played in symphonies. Orchestrating music Once heard, not forgotten.

Premium Member Nightingale Compression

the lonely strains
like a haunted dream,
so many sad refrains 
left...to drift in the wind,
now memory-born 
tears when it rains...
