Artificial turf glimmers
And all will be well...

a tired group of Viking Thrauls
festive banquet halls...

hovering seagulls
beach-going lunchroom bullies
what's for dessert

King, my ink quickly I buy.
Fitting to my lying frog.
It will confirm for I.
For I - not it, took you up off your turf....

Expressing
digesting
protesting
frustratedly stifled.

Projecting
rejecting
infecting
frustratedly rifled.

Lonely Blue Ocean
breaks the abiding gold sands....
surf and turf mingle
under clear undaunted skies---
blue moon fades to sunlit gold.

He flew his kite on a strange turf
With lighting you can expect the worst 
The lighting took him along
The kite’s grip got strong
Snatched him out into the universe...

turf shakes right through;
agreements ahead first lights;
orb winds bounty moves ;

Blood diamonds or war diamonds
Diamonds that bleed and saturate the earth
As men killed and enslave to protect his turf
A taste only the meek shall inherit.
Blood diamonds !...

Hard disk,
My bisque.

Doc files,
Spread miles.

Drum Tunes,
Spiked dunes.

Surf gem,
Turf mem.

Tough chat,
Loved stat.

Pict list,
Deft mist.

Top space,
Set face....

Though it gets lots of water,
our grass on clay dirt yellows;
stubborn thorny weeds reside. . . . 
where might I buy turf?

I lay on the turf
one night

I turned the
sky upside down

And into a black sea
and rode a canoe

And paddled and saw
myriad phosphorescence below

Twinkling one after
Another and so on . . .

The dreamy lovers walk  
And gaze at Earth -
A pretty marble ball.
Their home since birth,
This dreary lunar base,
So lacking mirth.
But, oh, imagine turf
Or kissing by a firth.

Each day we rise on the right side of the turf, it's a bonus
A whole lot depends on us, on us guys is the onus
No one else is to blame
In this lifelong game
It matters not that we dribble or ashamed of our slowness...

Pill bugs wet with dew
as crawling gray domes mirror
green turf, salmon sun.

Copter seeds whirling,
a squirrel chases paper
treasure for her nest.

Young cat mock-tweeting,
wily sparrows unheeding,
paws press on the screen....

It was a turf war.
The moon was booby-trapped 
   by clouds.

       *

   An electronic 
claws holds you to the 
   chest of night.

       *

   From flesh
to flesh, I surrender 
   my nomadic spirit.

stepping on toes
invading territory
moving in on turf
unacceptable 
uncomfortable transition 
not going to 
take laying down
if threatened will
push back 
not going to 
back down 
this is not going 
to happen 
it will not fly...

A thorn in the flesh of the green, green grass
Between the line painted straight,
And sometimes bended.

The reek of the starters gun so black
The bulge of the rippling calves, sometimes slack,
As spikes rip through the blades
Of turf so lovingly tended....

Her silhouette in moonlight’s gaze
accentuates her splendid curves
she dances in moon’s golden glow
feet tiptoe ‘cross the velvet turf

She floats through night’s gentle breeze
as if she were a lullaby
enticing only lovely dreams
amid a velvet midnight sky...

CASTRATED

In ebony
air on flight
through night
nothing is
big or too 
far off

figuratively 
speaking streams 
forgetful surf
high pitch screams
sandpits churn
tough turf
a wastage
of
egg rock
inert

~"A Salute to Californians"~





                     Liberty smiling
                     Sun, sand, wind, sea, surf rising
                     People took back turf

Wave goodbye to this side
We took flight
Moving up to the sky
To a higher height 

Coming closer to the clouds
And away from the Earth
About half and an hour
To the concrete turf

Onto the runway
Was landed the plane
It will take a few days
'Til we're back again...

I nearly trod on it
a deposit on the grass
the remains of a meal
pulled apart.
Little bones and pieces
of life lost
devoured 
by whoever
an owl perhaps 
but now spread
on the turf
for beetles
and flies -
microbial nutrients.
Creations story
displayed....
