Mu Cang Chai's rice terraces in Northern Vietnam.
a stunning beauty,
a breathtaking masterpiece
so nice rice terraces
There once was a sweet garden named Phil.
Whose terraces were straight up a hill.
His roses were sad in dark shade,
His produce was way under grade.
Making him the laughing stock in Brazil.
I awoke to the pungent smell of perfumed wisterias;
Bursting from twisting bines hang masses of purple blooms.
In far away Wuyuan I know Springtime sits upon many
Crowded terraces;
Again I long for you...our cozy little rooms.
Star to let
to a cat lover
and friend of
less perfect dahlias,
to putter-outers of
unwashed milk bottles;
to curtain shifters
and spectacle sinkers,
to all those gods
in Victoria`s long terraces
all waiting for
the flat upstairs.
Last year's leaves long blown;
Soon new leaves will fade and fall.
Years fade...fall as leaves.

A proposal made
On Shiroyone's terraces;
Rice is patient too.

I awoke too late,
You left before the dew came;
The stars went with you.
We sit on cool brick terraces
half-past mortality
in lengthening shade.
Our final passions
are in our drinks
as night swirls overhead
in a wild unleashing of stars.
All politics are platitudes—
all pleasures of flesh
are passing.
Now, we only relish
silences of the aurora,
faint roars of sinking seas
we’ve never seen,
hot mists of dark oceans
soaring toward the sky.
I'm alone.
The sea calls to me,
diamond spears
striking stone terraces,
an ominous clash
like thundering war drums.
The air hums with electricity,
my hair bristling
inside the storm.
The ground beneath melts away,
rocks tumbling into the sea below.
Skidding, sliding,
I lock eyes with
the ocean spray,
its roar thick with contempt
and the hunger to devour all.
Why does the neighbour have to own a damn dog?
Idle porcelain boats
are seagulls
floating
on a teal harbor
blond moorings
cast like kelp
Sails stiff
as egrets
glide slowly
toward
a cerulean channel
Atop turtle islands
pastel cottages
are pearls gleaming
on oyster beaches
umbrellas splayed
like starfish
on sandstone terraces
schools
of rainbow blossoms
wafting
in the salty air
