Freshly setted Sun now gone,
Half Moon straight up high....

Great belief being hardly found
Yet present knowledge transplanted in reality
Enfolds wildest dreams beyond feel...

Springtime’s sparkiest
blue skies schematic
seedlings to be transplanted
with cup-bearing daffodils 
and mimosa sunflowers

Larry had a wart on the end of his nose
it was appalling and he saw that it grows.
He found a doc
who gave it thought.
Then slickly transplanted it to one of his toes....

Turmoil 

Transplanted from native soil.
No warning. 
No dry run.

Thrown into turmoil.
Few  skills. 
No plumage.

Lost sense of direction.
Confused.
Still waving arms....

Once, something we took for granted
Now gone, forever to be mourned.
My source of awesome anime has been transplanted.
Cartoon Network, you face an enemy scorned!

-----Note-----
Though it's been so long I still miss it. RIP Tom....

An Electric Rub Board?
By
Tom Wright

There was a young man named Joe Greene,
Who promised his wife a new washing machine.
It was called a Rub Board,
And had no electric cord,
Now Joe needs a transplanted spleen.

She was

 Reconciled to Rhapsodies

transfigured and transformed

recognizing some of these

as wildest wizards warned,

exquisitely transplanted,

a token from the North,

validity.....lucidity,

she let her Muse 

hold  forth....

a stray voltage 
fluctuates in 
the atmosphere
lightening bolts
flashed everywhere
through 
his 
metallic head
and
transplanted brain
oh my
the 
experiment failed
and
Frankenstein is dead
or
did 
i
create the monster, Frankenstein...

The parents hope has been blasted…

They were but a flower in early bloom…

They were too good for earth…

Transplanted into heaven…

Where God has given them wings…

Now there is one more angel in heaven…

with red eyes blazing

they race through fog on hot sands

in a dying land . . . 

Barsoom’s white apes transplanted

to an earth where hell broke loose.


Note: Barsoom is a fictional representation of the planet Mars created by American pulp fiction author Edgar Rice Burroughs....

(Dedicated to Robert Goulet who died October 30, 2007.)

You were a great entertainer who was treasured.
Your contribution brought lots of pleasure.
Now many people are depressed.
It's very hard for the world to lay you to rest.
You died while you were waiting to have a lung transplanted.
When you performed, millions of people were enchanted....

timeless

flowers naturally gravitated to this beautiful meadow
they arrived renegade, their seeds transplanted by the wind
bluebells, lilies, carnations, roses and daisies thrived here
the ancient battlement in the near distance was thrilled
he had never expected to see anything this gorgeous in this life
a gift from god, he told himself, and of course, they were...

the screen door closes with a rattle
like a man trying to throw Yahtzee
despite the odds

shortly after, the familiar footfall of my father
calling ‘Baba boy, baba boy’ to me on the porch

I life my mug in reply, filled with hot coffee,
he fills the watering can with cold water

a low breeze rustles the fronds of a palm tree
father pours water on transplanted roots. it grows here
despite the odds...

When Corona came, I was on Reunion Island
Indian Ocean environs, nearer native South Africa ...
Transplanted, I have planted a garden, thrived

Without any research, butternuts survived
But in my pot and that of a friend's -
We grew Mint, Coriander, Hot Peppers, Lentils

The last was a challenge: to clean off the chaff
Transplanted, I planted again in Africa
Marigolds, Neem, Geranium, even white Lilies...

My father was like an old Oak tree, with grain
                        strong enough to bend the strongest nail . and 
                        I was a sprout that grew beside his trunk. His
                        branches sheltered me fro the World's evil flame
                        and when I matured and was transplanted to
                        grow on my own and free, I became a plank 
                        from the old Oak tree....

Wondrous poems are melodies
Emancipated from live trees
Freed at last from trunk and limb
Freed at last to sing their hymn
Transplanted in the hearts they've torn
Transplanted by the poets they've borne
Echo in our hearts as rhyme
Echo through the sands of time
Written down with pen and ink
That all,
            That would,
                             Might stop and think
How wondrous a poem can be
That's written deep within a tree...

I have pinched, pruned, planted, fertilized and even mowed...
I have dug, dressed, divided, harvested and hoed.

Then I thinned, trimmed, transplanted, sprayed, sowed and staked...
Then I wheeled, watered, weeded, rototilled and raked.

I loosened, limed and layered, that's me; gardening by the book...
But there was one thing I neglected, I was so busy I forgot to look.

My flowers were as beautiful as could be...
And I was so busy I didn't see.

                        TK<><...
