Motherly love teem role call
Beauty made for sure....

It was a blue,blue day
So quiet,he heard a butterfly wing,
See,loook closer,a voice was to say
Even shadows,teem with life-
Slowly,he put down the knife....

God Reigns Over Us Supreme

God allowed us to be on His teem;
Sins from removed and did redeem;
His nutrition,
Great ammunition,
While over us will reign supreme.

Pond's water captures 
the morning shadow 

Similar desires teem 
in our heads 

We love strolling along 
the banks of ponds 

Prosaic ducks disfigure 
the green images

Birds of similar feather 
conspire together
when sores of society 
open chaotic doors.
A boiling abscess 
provides easy access.
Statesmen must team up 
before angry masses teem
and cross the threshold of justice.

Vagrant diamond stars teem,
Various in color.
Veering hued planets whirl-
Velocity dancers!
Vernal and infinite,
Vibrant universe dark.
Vintage colors abound!

on redolence lane
tangled and wild roses teem
I'm going places
yellow birds fly through jade trees
cream and purple butterflies

joy down sunshine way
and hues are following me
waltzing in beauty
this portrait of summertime
so gold embossed on my mind...

My little bluebird 
Feeling bad
I worry so
And I get sad
When you're not up to
Soaring high
Without you there
It's just the sky
But when you are
I come alive
I watch you fly
I teem and thrive
In knowing you
Are over me
You fill my life
With your beauty...

smooth

perchance
               dreams
blurred

teem
           heed

As bright crystals descent, Earth’s frozen ground huffs indignantly,
just knowing late March never offered permanence.  
Quickly rain, sleet teem upon virgin white – 
Xanadu’s youth zapped.

music in the trees
gossips teem in green bowers
marigolds abuzz

cracker butterflies
among burgundy roses
twittering away

hollyhocks abuzz
with news of the honeybee
such blues pinks and blacks

crickets go screaming
near the endless babbling brook
in the orange dusk...

The coast is clear
We can march on withour fear.

Many mighties have fallen
They yielded not the warning.

The road,full of horrors
That inflict pain all raws.

We hold out as a team
Fighting mosters, as they teem.

Seeing now the glory ahead
Our hope revived, once dead....

where
  the egrets
           perch
where
   the petrels 
         nest
the 
    kestrels 
       screech
wrens
peep
above 
      the creek
which
wends
    then ends
where
 the speckled
         perch teem
and
dew
  bedews
    the ferns

    Electricity crackles in the air
    roller-coaster careening 
       off its track as silver trumpets blare

    Gangs teem and thrive in jungles 
    from Africa to American streets
        shells of bodies without heartbeats

    Naked greed meets raw power
    each devours the other
         ~ carcasses to recover

Here I sit, watching the people outside,
Watching them converse and live their lives.
A smile touches my lips though it's only
For a fleeting moment before it's gone.
My fingers dance across the smooth glass
Before they make marks and I wipe them 
Away.

Here I am, watching them through
The window. Watching teem live a life 
That I know I can never 
Have....

Fierce king of beasts with amber gaze,
His eyes were like sunrise through a morning haze.
Orbs of honey, sweet yet wild,
Nature's artwork, is chaste.
Pools of golden nectar gleam,
In which savanna's secrets teem.
Windows to a soul of fire,
Reflecting courage, strength, and desire.
This majestic cat, with marmalade sight,
Rules his realm from dawn to night....

Was recalling being just thirteen,
Riding on my Schwinn, it was a metallic green.
To flirt with Tommy,the boy of my dreams.
More delicious than my favorite ice cream.
I wonder...was he as good as he seemed?  
I’ll never know, we never were a love team.
I still think he’s better than whipped cream.
Tommy, that blue eyed, dream of a teem!

An escapade sweet as a marshmallow day
   when tangerine dreams fed our evergreen stream.
      Our magnet attraction neath radiant ray 
   did butter the air where the breezes did teem
in whirlwind through roses anointing the brae. 
   Their scent, my surrender, romantic the scheme, 
      exotic the fever and dance with a flame.
Ah, rapture of capture! The wooer’s end game....

deep blue sea meets azure, cloudless sky
as far as I can see on the horizon
Your sun warming it all

tide pools teem with small ocean life
safe, for a short time, from the terrors
of depths that threaten 
their miniscule spot on the food chain

this place, this phenomenal space
restores my soul
I reflect on this glory, what You have
made and left 
all You have given to me

It is good...

In that boundless Sea of Suns, does there yet teem other life?

            I pose this to the heavens, my heart pierced with longing's knife ...


And should I wait here ceaseless, so disclosure might return,

            The Great Expanse is far too vast ... for me to e'er discern.

turbines&apartments
                           awake
diggers&cranes release
                      their brakes
roads alive
           with commuter cars
bridges teem 
           with pedestrians
umbrellas uplift
                in passing showers
pylons pulsate
                 their powers
corn flakes crackle,toast browns
                            eggs hard-boil
work prepares
                    a day full of toil...

What a way to enter the office
In nucleus fully auspicious
With thy advent a new galore
Of events flood and pour
No words to express my mirth
That certain events occur on earth
That give immense pleasure
In our solitary leisure
May you scale new heights in teem
Reaching the pinnacle extreme
Thy name is half human and half deity
Emitting vibes of a divinity 
May you have all career delights
Enlightening all thy pupils’ insights..!!...

Beautiful wildflowers on the hillside gleam.
Children pluck the flowers there, and nearby is a stream.
Its waters with little polliwogs now teem!
Kids are splashing after them. How glad they seem!

Yes, school has ended and their summer I deem
will be a happy one filled with frolic and ice cream!
May each child know the joy of sleeping neath a moon beam
with the great outdoors their own back yard as peacefully they dream.

When winter waltzes in with soft light steps
Swirling snowflakes pirouette with white steps

The forest is blanketed by snow, so still
Until they melt away to springs bright steps

The meadows teem with blooms, and butterflies
And birds sing melodies to excite steps

Sunshine, sandy beaches, and azure skies
Summer's glow brings beauty that delight steps

 Then the trees bare all as their leaves depart  
As the autumn winds bring chilly tight steps...

the prickly-eyed coneflower bees
attractively buzzing their squeeze.
the purple petal umbrellas.
a lovely echinacea breeze.

butterflies and hummingbirds hove’.*
red-winged blackbird, high perched above,
does shelter in Eden, his brood.
cones teem with life, vivacious love.
