God’s migratory wishbone

Temperate blood on menu;

A splash of colour
With intense power
Joyful to some
Yet anger a come
With vivid hues
So bold and new
Whimsical, temperate
Serene and lovely thou art!...

Beyond blackend night's curtain herein a world
Uncertain, sure am I the sun shall rise.
Change do I desire at thirty years old.
The path of a temperate I the prize!...

Every outside element
Each one holds inside
Whether fiery hot
Or
Icy cold snow
We must learn to temperate
For in this self discovery
Our true character will show...

EVERBETTER

               Was sad, was hurt, sick
             pressures of life temperate
                      all ever better

The temperate swoosh of grand sea in the bathtub half full.
   Sudden ripple of thunder and lightning in competitive swim.
Dissolution of soap and shampoo, bare naked towel.

essentia,
through 
cunning marrow 
she will lay duplicate constellations
in the thick 
of wolves tears
violent, 
belly-swelling siren
of temperate black tide
liberating this crazy-kittens smile
like a wounded deer...

COLD, blows the North wind
Chilling us to the bones

WARM, blows the South wind
Up from the temperate zones

GENTLE, blows the East wind
Stirring leaves with a sigh

STRONG, blows the West wind
Scattering clouds across the sky...

I dream of autumn
When climate is temperate
Not too hot or cold.

Leaves of rusty red
Just before the fall begins
Summer's gone this year.

Trees have shed their leaves
Behold twisted modern art
Nature's gallery....

Oh, brilliant sun, do not burn too hot
The ice may have thawed 
But be temperate.

The daffodils soared from the ashes of snow
But the coming of summer is how they will go.

Oh, brilliant sun, do not burn too hot
Diminish the cold,
But the daffodils not....

Spiritual fruits upon a tree
Ripened,ready for all to see;
Sincere,gentle inwardly kind
Set at one,in a peace-filled mind;
Temperate,diligent and pure
Understanding& perseverance will nurture;
Brotherly love and hope will ensure
An orchard in bloom until mature....

We lounge together by the sea
In a bower -filled pasture on high,
With musings shared intimately
As a temperate breeze whiffs nearby,
sliding through words upon breath’s air
That enter our pores, a glow that trails
As hearts lay bare on one autumn day.


For PD: One Autumn Day...

Spring Tanka


      the scented blackthorn
      bursting into sudden bloom -
      new life emerges
      and the slowly warming earth
      nourishes temperate spring

The temperate dead escape their wait
God, make better dreams of their last
Sleeping men have no past
But us
Our play, our anger
In a fantasy agreed
Unspoilt and kind
A happy journey, a martyr of my happiness,
Forever the longest summers
Fields keep their prints
Your nest too high for cloud...

The curved fondle of an embrace
within the moistened kindle
of an evening's temperate space
while the splendor of your lips
gathers all that’s aflame and gentle
and I will find the hidden blue of eyes
dressed in your lavish kiss
that nothing else will fulfill me
----but your love under one star....

winter's temperate.
towards cold outside yet it was; 
sunny 70° and...

 a fly flew by my;
eyes in awe I wondered O'
 whoosh-flutter buzzzz---

why? in the dead of, 
winter so I spy flutters;
tiny buzzzz whoosh-FlY?

sun rays caught bedewed glint topaz,
weeds of temperate light
expanding promise-buds of summer joys,
and almond blossom memories
pass in favor of new life;
should ever there be blessings in the air
they are birthed from the warming spring breath
      of April
and a charm of hummingbirds
in a field of lupine...

ENGLAND
     evergreen
     temperate
shore washed,gulf stream

     changeable
     daily,song
four seasons long

that never last...
     traditions
     of the past,
its global stage
     a language...
     mongrel bred

      left unsaid,
     with reserve,
in bonded word


after Marianne Moore...

slow down.
let me lick your frown, taste it's bitter sadness-
delectable. 
wonder what you're wondering, what your brain's
currently showering you with, drowning you in,
using&breaching your brim. 
"it's takin awhile to get him up.." temperate :
death, resting veins, pebbles for eyes.
deliberately 
smothering sane....
