Aspect: Aurora
Dawn is upraised
Fierce in disguise--
Then you are dazed
By her rising at length—
Once you have gazed
Straight in her eyes,
Never be fazed
By her beauty and strength....

A Plea In Its Eye
The dog slinks past me
a plea in its eye
bowed head upraised
barely
Turning toward me
piteously --
Snap!
its collar is yanked back
by its imperious master
Plea denied...

The Santiam Graveyard
Phantoms eerie,
burned and blackened
arms upraised in supplication
bent and broken, beckoning.
Driftwood garbed they testify
in shrouded mist, in foggy sky
Woodland graveyard, petrified
Silent screams
assault the senses
“Who says fire cleanses”...

Unit 8 Chapter Nine
Discect the cetacean on the table
Intercept the axon if you are able
Detect the carcass beneath the table
Protect the deadbeats, as they are unable.
Seven Senators Stood Singing (p)salms!
Shrimp stuffed pie crust often alarms!
consideration only harms!
Boris Yeltzin with upraised Arms!...

Cleansing the Temple
On temple mount Jesus went to battle
with those who were selling sheep and cattle.
With corruption about,
he drove them all out –
the coins of dealers on stones did rattle.
Indignant the Jews asked for a sign.
“Destroy this temple and its holy shrine
and within three days
another I'll raise.”
His body upraised did confirm that sign.
John 2.13-22...

Ward Trotter, International Poet
Trotter's words are his deeds
girding the Earth
in great magnetic lines
of universal intent.
In Ward's ritually upraised palm
we see the symbol Coriolis
south draining left
north draining right
Into the realm of Neptune
via the cisterns of Rome
down the ancient river Po
to wicked storms at sea
Into vortices the poet's passport
falls as a man overboard
all its pages torn
one by one....

Lucky Lovely Elephant
Lucky lovely elephant with a tuft of green
Created by a master artisan, that is easily seen.
With trunk upraised, in the luckiest of elephant ways.
We congregate around him, to give him some praise.
His décor is lovely, his metallic finish is a treat.
He is the utmost beautiful elephant on Rochester Street.
We follow him around, fawning over him, giving him our best.
He finally asks for some privacy, so he can get some rest....

Out Like a Lamb
March comes in like a lion, and goes out like a lamb
— English proverb
Any sign of Spring makes me sigh
— Kim Rodrigues
OUT LIKE A LAMB
pink petals of confetti throng
the Spring tree eulogizing Fall.
snowy buds cling like upraised songs.
March first bleating breaks down the wall
of incessant roaring rainstorms.
the keyboard-roof is fighting back,
the lion napping, seeds perform.
Daffodils give Winter the sack.
