two male cardinals
fight over territory....
corn tassels rustle

Tassels of flakes studded in pearl

Drape the lane where ice-capped elms unfurl.

Feral Carol was a dance hall girl.
Up on a barrel, she'd swing and swirl.
She never disappointed.
Her pelvis was disjointed.
And they love it when her tassels twirl....

from mist-clad tassels

immaculate leaves of night waft

bearing frosty scent

tassels
     of maple
                  flower
in
mentle green

shower of
                 pearl
a rosier hue
           
crackling trees
   in wild winds

a
  woman's blush...

Cerulean above

Fan brushed with fossil, ash, silver and cloud

Zephyr's northwesterly cold

Hemlock seeds and broom sage tassels fly 

November surprises ...

what
is your
pain to me
who breathes
this death
breed less
word castle
tassels blown
crowning thrown
toss left after moan
what lies 
why lay
stay
be
what
is your
pain to me

Tri-Ku / Senryu


Frayed pants
aging tassels in the wind
work in progress




Patched dreams
soft comfort of renewal
love’s chevrons




Old boots
moldings of the soul
carry on

I won an online contest – with a most unusual prize
Sequined red nipple tassels – oh I can’t believe my eyes

So if you don’t see me on here for a while…………
I’m busy elsewhere wearing my prize and just a smile!

Stunning tail-light of eve
Sweeps  across the heavens
Streaked with chrome blue tassels:
Swift the leap glossed by dust
Spin of Hailey's Comet,
Streams quickly... then fades off!

fields of corn
as far as the eye can see
from horizon to horizon
golden tassels wave
at a never-ending blue sky
allowing only occasional
gossamer wisps of clouds
to break the monotony

what sky
flown from night
castles sing for castles
tassels form sight
glittering wings
glow bright
bring ing
me
from
candle light
place each kiss
more loving than
the
first
my honey purse
close your eyes
all the while
wondering
what sky
?...

Wet Body
The muscle man has on his gold trunks
See how he dances oh so cool
His lady has on but 3 items
2 nipple tassels and a forward triangle
See how good they look together
An awesome couple like it was a film
Think what they do together
Does it make you blush?...

S oaked by mist, tassels of white mold
N imbly etches an icy pile; 
O pal its lips on buttoned smile
W e play like children to unfold
M ister Snowman's jolliest game 
A s our merry-go-rounds beguile
N ever ending through winter, aflame!

Comes  monsoon  in  its crystal tassels,

Drizzling on my stain-glass window

Effervescent as  nimbus'  Marian beads

Floating  within my liquid stream of  prayer,

To heal this soul    from godly intercession.

	Indiana 
	orange roadside lilies
	rural splendor
	 
	
	Indiana 
	elephant’s eye corn
	no tassels yet
	
	
	Indiana
	endless green soybean fields
	rich farmland soil
		
		
	a strange beauty
	stark yet soothing vistas

The old clock had grown
a beard of dust.
The ink in the Underwood's ribbon
long dried in silence.
Frayed tassels of an old desk lamp
hung over the motionless pen.
Gnarled hands etched
the pain of goodbye.
Grandmother's rocker was still.
So was he.

Nacreous trees
reach into goldenrod skies
autumn wheat hissing, envious!
Tassels of crown hang, lifeless.
Queen of a barren kingdom
where silver suns trek horizons, 
never in reach for the looking glass
to swallow, and reflect,
inside out.
Another sunrise sets
all as the pearl harvest eclipses behind,
the apple of her eye....

No one knew that Mavis was a stripper,
They thought she worked at Tesco on the till.
Most folk knew her since she was a nipper,
No one knew that Mavis was a stripper.
A woman always cheerful and chipper,
She twirled her tassels publicly, but still
No one knew that Mavis was a stripper,
They thought she worked at Tesco on the till....
