A tiny thatched hut
Built with a view of the sea
Broken and empty...

winter in coma 
rains relentlessly shed tears ~
my torn thatched hut leaks

The lone bird sang a parting song
over the country thatched roof houses,
the song so sweet and loving....

Thatched hut in the sun,
Trees and balloons as landmark,
Journey to embark!

Inside the grass thatched Eastern hut,
Far through the snakes rising on the wall,
The luminous lantern lights were blown off....

"Bellows",
bellows the blacksmith
the thatched roof crofter's cottage
so beautiful 
in the cottage garden
the wild pink heather evokes
fond memories of Victoria....

In the woods, I stumbled upon
a thatched roof, spirit house.
Foolish was I for peering within
it became enraged; giant claws erupted 
from underneath, as it leapt towards me!

palms yield to harsh wind
dark clouds fill tropical sky...
     thatched fronds blanket sand

Stigma Attached and Horm Humor Hatched

When constructed roof appeared to be thatched,
And to it would see some sticky stigma attached;
First had to lunge,
Then into pool plunge;
Having happened after Horn Humor was hatched.

One summer I bought husband and I shirts that matched.
Not one or two, but rather ten or twelve, all thickly thatched.
We rode around in them puffed up, as if just hatched.
Looking like Tweedle Dee and Dumb, distorted, and insanely batched....

altruistic monsoon
sublimed drumming
on the chest of the
thatched roof
she is undressing
my dissociated conscience
delicate fingers dance
preparing to make love
with my creative mind
my thoughts my voice
shadow of my existence
arent we all
lonely 
here...

Rainfall  from a thatched roof 
cloudbursts of water arriving wet 
flooded streets and rivers 
drench-pours and  raincoats ;

sun showers and liquid sunshine 
streams of water flowing through 
monsoon moments burst of flowers 
heavy dew on a leaf and,    RAIN

since the birth of love-
love learns to fly
through the dark of night
body to body, 
veins to veins,
under the broken moonlit, 
crossing the owl sight, 
besides the bamboo bush,
under the half-broken thatched made roof,
in the other land, 
by another sheath-shaped barrier device (condom)!

A little thatched cottage tucked away.
Happy memories from happy days.
Full of atmosphere and charm.
Children playing safe from harm.
Warm and cozy inside thick walls.
Outside let the blizzard storm.
Bog oak beams, flax and turf.
Kettle singing on the hearth.
On quiet nights clear skies.
No sound of traffic or passers by.
Deep sleep in a safe haven.
In Fanad this little piece of heaven....

Rolling Dice
            by Odin Roark

Natural selection
Can’t help it

Way back
Necessity abounded
Creating proceeds by chance

Expanded into nonrandom reality
From random happenstance

Amassed complexity from
Cross-thatched simplicity

Spark-lit some consciousness
Through unconscious irony

Popped out creatures
Demanding purpose and discovery

And science/common sense labeled it
Evolution...

You were obliged 
to watch the curse 
on the caterpillar, 
forced to fly.

It was a stunning spectacle.
The walnut tree scooping 
to gather,
the gold of black berries.

Speak up my lord. Did you live 
in the ghetto to know the
truth of thatched roofs ? Were
you afraid of huge mansions ?

It was not your heart; a
borrowed sample of imitiative
poetry. I will still go for
the rhythm of unspoken words.

The spine of a hedgehog,
The horn of a stag, 
The teeth of an eel,
The dearth of a seal.

Inside us all, the killer whale,
Searching, fishing its bale; 
Settling, cradling the loser,
In a bold, deluded red blazer.

Packing the great white,
Into cheeks’ thatched might,
Squid freezes the past time,
For one more near rhyme.

Avoiding the fiery apex,
Large seals call and flex,
Because our first thought,
Is the other I bought.

The light limps homeward
I have sundry thoughts of you
You would miss this too

The swallows calling
From the thatched roof of childhood
No moon rise tonight

Clouds are curtains here
Nor moon, nor joy can cross them
Owls mourn far away

I know you trembled
Not when sea-bound the willow wept
No diamond rot

Beautiful and bright
Are words defining coldness too
Or color of snow

My hostage thought yearns
For pillowed breast and good rest
The frail dream of you...

Very deep emotional and inspiring verse:

He was born from a grass thatched house in a remote village. His friends used to laugh him that he will be a failure in life. At lunchtime he had lack of food and wore a tattered school uniform. One day,he was chased out of school because he had no school fees. But, today he is taking flights all over the world and helping millions out of poverty shackles.

Preening to an eye ache,
he searched for meaning abound,
in my acts that lay around,
all scattered and in shambles,
I had strewn his home and hearth,
after blasting it to smithreens,
I remember the scorch that I had lit,
in his poor thatched bit,
which had everything eaten,
and leaving all only ashen,
I had evn lost,
what I could have got,
this man was without address,
and had no redress,
I had killed a life,
though it could have lived with some strife....

Stiff pleated fronds in concert rise
to wax under the April sun 
and trill their canticles begun
in verses jade that they comprise.

Chartreuse of thorny branches splay
a tumult to belie the grace
that on display they interlace
like rose stems on a breezeless day.

Atop the thatched denuded bole
gush fountains cast in cardamom,
an opalescent diadem
that glistens on the mossy knoll.

In thus exuberant array 
do cloistered peacocks mime ballet.

Smouldering charcoal smoke drifting
Heady mead distilled  from  honey...
Whethered white skin tropical sea
Gleaming sun  path  on  the water
Rising up out of the ancient ocean
Bronze  sheild  glinting in the light
Celtic metalwork deep in the earth
A hundred million years ago under
the sea was the great sacred stone
Ceremonial patterns of swirling line
Druids  little  hamlet  thatched  roofs
were bathed in the suns reddish light.
Freshly baked bread  crickets at night....

Crème de la crème of society
Bone de la bone of the beggary
Castles suffocating with excess loot
Thatched huts with nakedness afoot
Mansions ignorant of starvation
Shanties bereft of constipation
Wardrobes of polished shoes, suits and ties
Cupboards riddled with bugs, roaches and flies
Despite the abundance, children are just a pair
While in lack, procreation is spared the care
When all is said and done, we arrive at the divide
When all that is left is for the earth to open wide...
