Dandelions temporarily match leaves' yellow hues,
As spring meets autumn's remaining old transitional cues,
While the sun shines in a sky painted by many shades of true blues....

vital impulse 
and I climb into my grey Ford 
I hold the steering wheel 
not to hit the car 
instinctively I twist 
on the left 
on the right 
should not I die 
because I want to get off 
After your breasts ... 
after I hear Bach!...

Trumpity Dumpity
sat on his Wall.

Dumpity Trumpity
had a Great Transitional Fall.

All the King's Secretaries
and all his White patriarchal men
couldn't put his sociopathological administration
climate health together
truly democratic again....

Transitional Tears


A r d u o u s  day, both sunny and gloomy.

the payment sought — a trundle of great worth.

My tender eyes in  t r a n s i t i o n a l  tears —

the dew of pink and blue as I give  b i r t h.

YangEgo is endosymbiotic
as Yin EcoHome grows ectosymbiotic.

These two faces of cooperative change
dipolar co-arise creolization,
transubstantiation,
metamorphic re-acclimation
within as without;

Interior landscape evolution
as exterior climates of great and small transitional revolutions....

wild exhilarating ride
crude cosmic activity 
burning flame at the
base of the spine
layers of old skin
shedding releasing
negative emotions
resilient transitional
events open altered
mind set spreading
electrical activities
healing chakras
opening  out of
cocooned safety

Navaho woman gathers eagle feathers in a thoughtful way
Understanding their mystical properties better than most
The feathers invite ancestral spirits to gather their soul clan
The resulting enticing dream catcher works well with turquoise
Dividing sorrow, tossing her into the ether
Making room for transitional joy and hope....

Charlie and Louis
John and Miles
Bebop to Modal
Two different styles

Soul passions blowing
Harmonically through horns
Notes and chords flowing
One world and two forms

Two different times
Pioneering colossal movements
Mind-blowing lines
Luminating transitional attunements

Woodwind to brass
Saxing  and trumpeting
Sweet music long last
Four sultans  jazzing...

winter's
ending;

spring is
pending.

cool and
pleasing

but so
fleeting.

sun beams
greeting

cool breeze
soothing

spring hue
winning

flowers
springing

sweet birds
singing.

all those
waiting,

for spring's
coming,

will be
humming.

Yesterday I didn’t know how to love you,
Back then I was in a transitional stage.
Would I find me? I didn’t have a clue,
Yesterday I didn’t know how to love you.
Trying to find myself as time just flew,
But one day I saw me; I turned the page.
Yesterday I didn’t know how to love you,
Today you are stuck with me until old age.

Okay I promise not to write about age again
Seems I've beaten the subject to “death”
There's that word again it keeps cropping up
It will stop creeping up before you know it though
And I will find it quite difficult to breathe
I won't be aware then the lights go out
And then nothing...
So what will I call this state of being
A transitional state on my way to the top floor...

T~ransforming the minds of students in an
E~ducative and transitional way, which leads to,
A~cademic heights for future rolls, they being
C~reative, imaginative, flexible to be taught.
H~highlighting tomorrow’s technological pursuits by
E~volving and developing curriculum as needed “tools”,
R~esearching new methods to teach these youths, so that
S~cholarships, written theses and doctor's dissertations, could
    be the result from their arduous work....

I searched laboriously for you in the cold winter rains,
shivering from the shallowness.
I chased you on the hot, sultry days of summer,
feeling your presence hovering over me like a winged angel
with a message from God.

I felt you change me during the reflective, transitional days of fall,
with a promise of better times and abundant colors and joy.
I found you, though, quite unexpectedly in spring blossoms. 
In my newness of life, for the first time, I felt whole....

Under centuries of sediment
Tramped by stalwart feet
And twenty-two layers of blood
Laid down like concrete
From crunching force ambivalent
To this mottled seat

Dangles a shepherding spirit
Bathed in phantom mist
Playing on strings of circumstance
When souls coexist
With delusional flesh taunting once
So violently kissed

Until caressed in the nexus,
Songs resonating
In harmonic tempo profound
Patiently waiting
For the transitional gauntlet
Nature’s creating....

Sugar cubes and coffee grounds
May skies beckon birds soaring
Sunlit paths lead to fields of gold 
An exodus from darknesses’ gloom
Sail away to transitional fame 
In route to where u’re meant to be 
Appeal scorn’s judgement of you
A freedom sought is one to cherish 
Pages turn and chapters burn
Poetic notes break the mold
Offbeat tales bold and untold 
Dare to carve thru the untamed path
Play in the margins where rules decay 
Strive to recognize unstructured grace
