Short Striated Poems

striated full moon
reminds me of the blood moon
imperfect beauty

Sun's eye
Trapped within clouds
Striated steel gray mass
Interspersed lines of golden sun
Covered  ...

Gray cobalt clouds form
Striated with light in places
Rope like twisted clouds

Is this a true sign
Of rain coming down today
Mother nature lies...

Striated pastel clouds lay
Nestled in hammock's soft white
Luxurious comfort wait
Sunrises' radiant touch

Striated gray and deep pink sky
Fiery red sun rises
As roosters' breath fogs with each crow
And floats with surprises

As cold surrounds every shrub's leaf
An open door sun greets
Another day's blessing a gift
A soul who now's at peace...

BANGS

dyed-up bangs over my face like prison bars
fine, without fizz
i need a facelift 
tiger’s eyes, striated, squinches
the familiar room seems faceless
dim
the din of one trapped
guilty of nothingness
a pin drops
no one hears in the dark grass

Black striated clouds interspersed
With red sun and blue
Observed by the morning star's light
Sounds entertain but few  

Fog fluffy pillows dance 'pon pines
Night creatures still sing mirth
Fanbrushed clouds turn cobalt
Wait for day to be birthed

Night waves good bye to day
Whip-Poor-Will's song cease
Soon all of surrounding heat up
Day's journey heat release...

A misbelief
breaks into rags.
Still I dream of some gods
on black pages

piecing together the words
of light.   The rains come
in the  cage of tears,
voicelessly.

Striated muscles of splintered faith
go to cramps birthing 
the avatar
without a mother.

I will pick up now
nothingness
from the bounty of silence,
of a stunning question.

A golden sun tops the black trees
Soon to warm fog's blanket
The cool morn's air will be transformed
And dew's diamond's facets

The roosters enjoy the cool air
Join in chorus singing
Entertain the birds all around
The crows' caws join ringing

Striated whispy clouds cover
The sun's bright white beaming
Will clouds clear, hot sun heat the day  
Or will gray stay streaming?

Open my eyes on a bloodshot morning
The champion strains his leash
He's howling in pain, but he's howling in vain
The lights on Love Street are red
Tension mounts in my flesh
The rigidity of perplexed anguish 
Turgid in my purple soldier's head
Veins popping, striated muscle pink and warm
I whip him, three times a day
Offer him a hand out of spite
I'll be frank: I spank and I spank
This thing's bigger than the both of us...

A line of striated cobalt clouds
Lies across the rising sun
Colors separate the image
Magenta so much fun

A yellow illumination
Above the cobalt blue
Revealing early morning's fog
And trees damp with dew

Wispy clouds dance ballerina moves
Mourning Dove's sing love's tune
Roosters rejoice at a new day
Glad the sun arrived so soon

Porch time is limited today
Those chores need to be done
Help me get through every hour
Let there be delightful fun  ...

Striated colorful clouds
Upon the horizon
Cobalt blue, pink, and sand exposed
Swallows dance come on

The Swallows fled when filled with bugs
And the sun flows bright red
Buzzards begin their journey out
To feast on something dead

The wispy clouds, fanbrushed wide
Add laughter to the blue
A still cool dampness caresses
Birds sing and not a few

Just a short time out on the porch
Enjoying the new dawn
Thank you God for this day's offering
Of communication ...
