swifts feast and fly
mistles' munch snails nearby-
tea-time on the terrace, this hot
July....

swifts and sparrows sing for joy ---
migrant birds back home

suppertime for chimney swifts

The sky `s their scene
Banquet theirs in blue
Swerving arcs of black serene,
Black shrapnel of an angel`s song.

A dance of life itself
Relentless unremitting
Screaming songs of joy.

All creatures great and small.
Small nothings lshowing us the awe....

Back and forth,
HIgh then low
Black swifts scythe below;
Beneath the vivid hue
Wide-set celestial blue.

Across the field
Buttercups fill my view with
Dung pats,dried,and fried in the sun; 
Cowslips clumped,bud apple-green
With daisies dotted between....

silent souls in smile
secrets spread in suave sweet scent ---
sentiments sparkle

hawks and hummingbirds
sparrows swallows swifts and swans ---
in cosmic chorus

Wind swifts across the leaves that fall in the arid ground
Rain drops falls from the sky as bewailing your demise 
Dark clouds gloom the firmament evoking a somber air
A red flower bud blooms as a great promise of a new life

Four Swifts
Live up to their name
As they dart and sail
On the late summer breeze

There's a delight 
In knowing I'm the only one
Who watches them
Up here, on my balcony

Here they come again
My binoculars cannot catch them
They are better enjoyed
In full panoramic view...

Does she sleep is she to breath please dont awaken will on me; stay as you be
Only if you see the tears living me when you call him your daddy
Heart and mind is trouble through the fire that surroundes me as my memory swifts along
only to become a forgotten movie i only say i'll always love my baby jo...

Ravishing Rarities

ranunculus reigns
rhododendrons resplendent 
roses radiate

Some Socialize

swifts soar, swans swagger
swallows / sparrows socialize
sandpipers scatter

Tasty Tree Types

tamarillo treats
tropical tamarind trees
tasty tangerines

A breeze blows in and the trees sway back and forth
Again and again there music swifts across the wind. 
There own melody and tune brightening my afternoon.
Birds flying in a vee of love and resting on there strong branches. 
As I look to the sky and sun is beating down I lay underneath the tree of strength....

From yours over there
To ours, hereround
What contrariness of sky
Reflects the eye?

And do swifts, I doubt
Swallows, this neat
Weave, of the jovial
What is visual.

Nor while conceding
To a bias
Of summer day pride
No joy-leaps hide

Can be imagined
This placid blows
As untroubled of face
For clouds what grace....

The Ocean

God's beautiful handiwork
all around us, seashells,
seagulls, fish and crabs.
The beautiful blue water,
softly swifts o'er my feet, 
as I walk along the shore,
enjoying it all the day more.
The beautiful, golden rays of sunshine,
beaming on the calm, still water,
the tranquility and splendor,
shall never falter....

He swifts on by like a moon lighted night. 
He shines bright for a moment in time. 
His arm's always open with warmth. 
His smile always bigger then everyone elses. 
His heart of rage and fire. 
He swifts on by, he swifts on by. 
Who will know the true man within. 
The man thats full of sin. 
No one can, no one can, for we are all just man......

the cinnabar moth
a summer diurnal one
check out the ragwort

peppermint stands
mint moths' abundant tiny
summer potatoes

a rambling rose
buds showing waiting to burst
a flowerfly drones

bees not many
some burrowers one or two
campion self-seeds

tis the morrow morn
west is the forecasted wind
southwest for the swifts...

BE TOLD
***********  
azure blue sky, sun shines free,
swallows dip and glide, agree.
swifts on their way, what for them?
fickle weather a problem!

nature must regain control.
climate change blows hot and cold!
wear warm clothes if on a stroll.
natures still fickle, be told!

Be still somehow
Change dazzles now


Watch change now stream
A surge of dreams


Seize then to change
Your range most strange


Change brings you here
As happy cheers


Watch such swifts moves
Etch your deep grooves


Change is your friend 
To cast new trends


Yes odd feels strange
In plain old change

There’s a line of flapping, red-starred flags,
they wag their rags, as dogs wag their tails,
when the master’s home;

and the summer wind  taunts their linen
crease;  then takes them on a merry jaunt,
a widow’s pooch, in heat.

And up above the red-devilled street, a
dipping, flipping, swift-filled, livid high;

counts flags, dogs and masters, sighing 
swifts and bleeding sky....

Boulders glisten in snowy mounts
Roving ravens circle over the valley
Employing intuition to snatch prey
Amuck is their fear of starvation
Tall peaks don't offer anything
Hemlocks hide the Alpine swifts
Tucked in branches for survival
Above clouds shiver in mid noon
Khaki sun still has a faded shine 
Indicative is the mood of eagles
Nurturing hope in nippy February 
Grand is the vision of early spring...

Today, the weather seems composed and swifts have a reason to drift
Leaves have fallen from yesterday's rains but brought less disgust
There is a green slowly clothing the earth,
A hive of sweet-minty little thoughts and a reason for what to write...
Love and life are buds grafted from the same bark
Your love is but a mango tree that flowers twice a year
Thank you for stepping into my eyes
I love you Luche.
