Short Tramping Poems

my spirit awakes
in the spring daisy meadow
tramping through the blooms...

I recall two small girls
skipping along the hill
in the summer of their
cherry cheeked childhood

studying sticks and stones
amongst red-gold leaves
whilst clouds cast faint shadows
foretelling futures
of long-legged beauty.  

Then, in the chill of evening sun
Tramping down the slope,
homeward
for warm-up tea and
chocolate cake comfort....

strolling by the path of rugged forests,
gazing around at every thing around,
I enjoy the walk alone.

wandering by the rugged road,
exposed feet to the thorns and bushes,
I feel the life's similarities.

with remembrances of the past,
of the days of cheer, and that of grim
I enjoy the walk alone.

tramping by the woods of green,
treading by the life's dreams,
I feel the life's connection....

Pasipaaro
- Exchange

 

He envisioned a dreary end
Swaddled in mystery

clouded in mischief

warding and wishing away
the gathering mist
outlined over his head
He is tramping

as he is toiling

Trading places with shifting feet
Stealing glances from clad faces

eyes blinking to the streak of dawn
He fell on his knees
Unthreading laces
with awon eda orun" heavenly beings...

Rains pitter patter through the day
Running rivulets on their way
Swirls of slushy earth delay.

Rains low hum sudden changing pace
Pelting rain tramping off hoofs race
Upon roofs drops run and chase

Rain puddles children squealing sounds
A house gleams and lies upside down
The velvet sky in pools round

Rainbow announces my embrace
Emerging from horizons space
A bow across the skies grace.

I heard the steady cadence
The drum roll in the street
A thousand tramping soldiers 
Tasting of defeat.
The sound of occupation
I thought it could not be,
A flag so full of justice
Would always flutter free.
I had dreamed a thousand dreams
And cast them to the wind
But often had forgotten
Even rods of steel will bend.
Raucous laughter melted
In the wake of dust and steam
Then suddenly awakened
I found it all a dream....

Clouds playing around
In the sky tramping above the ground
Dangling in merry-go-round
Smiling at you year-round

One cloud zoomed outbound
Glittering ice flakes fall in mound
Flowers and trees have all found
Heart-shaped clouds in pieces on the mound

Crystals in diamonds plodded on the ground
Stayed and freezed like a heart spellbound
Prayers in hearts everywhere that astound
Heart-shaped clouds in you, dwell pound for pound...

HAUNTING


Ghosts, Goblins and Grizzled Vamps
enough to haunt the noblest man-
woe beholds your sickening souls !

Tramping within crumbled castles,
slaying innocents with their stench,
chilling spines through ghastly cries-
woe beholds your sickening souls !

Men if science, Preachers too
have searched your condemnations out-
only to know thee never so !

For a thousand decades
your bloody stories told,
by hapless victims
your sickening souls they beheld !...

The earth trembled that day, 
The clattering sounds fused
With crying sounds
Could be heard from miles away,

The fear etched on the faces of many
The screams of pain resounding 
While they scramble to safety
Tramping each other in the process

It is impossible to escape
Without being traumatized 
Left with visible and invisible scars

Those lucky enough to be alive
Relay tales of horror
With loved ones missing
And many still ensnared beneath buildings and debris…...
