End of Autumn

leaves crunch underfoot
grey white clouds scuttle above
skeleton trees 
it is the end of autumn
the wind’s cold but still no snow

Wonder

Someone's chimney, ash and soot.
Crunch, crunch powder underfoot.
These things that I do understand.
Comprise a winter wonderland.

Forest Trails

A walk in the woods,

Dry leaves crunching underfoot.

A peaceful setting.

The trees form a canopy

Enveloping forest trails.

New Day

Crispy morning beard
Fallen colors swirl about
Blue ceiling exposed

Twigs snap underfoot
Nature resonates to all
Time continues on

The Forest

In the forest
We knew
The trees
The people
Of the forest
The damp leafy
Soil underfoot
We knew where 
We came from
We knew
each other

Breakfast Lethal

The bodies were rolled in whole grains
And corn flakes found in the remains
With milk underfoot
The cops now look to put
The cereal killer in chains

In Praise of Autumn

dancing icy underfoot crackle pathways
moonlight loves the feminine presence prescience
laughter singing prayerful chants of thank you
ritual nurture

What the Snowman Knew

what the snowman knew
about the stars in the snow
hidden underfoot...
the sentinel sun’s hush money
good until the carrot falls

Santa Up To Bat

Santa was the next one on beach up to bat
Koalas were jeering, calling him fat.
Sand burned his feet, he was barefoot
Crack went the bat, koalas stayed underfoot

Cat and Dog Toy With Me

Cat is underfoot
Dog is in my lap
Here come raccoon
Pitter Pitter Pat Pat

Dog chases the raccoon away
Gives it lots of crap.
Cat is happy 
Cat is in my lap.

Winter Sedoka

the air acquires
the crisp, cool, dry sensation
and my lungs rejoice at breath
-
the flakes falls lightly
then get packed down underfoot
and my eyes rejoice at snow

Rainbow Light

Shafts of rainbow light
Poke through the surrounding trees,
The snow underfoot,
Just birdsong breaks the silence,
The woods fill me with magic.

Blossom

Cherry Blossom
Delicate Pink
Brilliant White
For a few days
Promises Summer
Before it falls
Leaving memories 
And hope.
As the Carpet
Of dying blossom
Is trodden underfoot

Sour Grapes

You gave gifts of sour grapes, crushing spirit underfoot. 

Transforming bitterness to fine sweet wine, I bade you dine with me, 

Yet, I feast alone, at the banqueting table tonight.

Naughty Nor Nice

The babes of bigots 
rainbows underfoot 
appealing smiles
am I doing good
tomorrow’s 
curb smashers
our baby gay bashers
innocent enough 
believing in Santa
and their parents’ love

Underfoot a World Exists

    Underfoot, a world exists
      tiny, harmless bugs and slugs
        gently creeping crawlers

    While overhead
      we heed not our steps
     our race of massive maulers

A Winter Walk

Warm clothing in mystifying layers
Portrait painted by mist and light
Naked branches catch the sun
Ice crunches underfoot  
Noisy crows protest
Breath ghostly white  
Squirrels chatter
Head home
Numb

P O W E R

Panther-like strength and resolve
Orgasmic vibes slither underfoot
Woman who knows her talents and strengths
Engaging in social scenarios, taking prisoners
Rivals run from her court, trying to save themselves.
