The day yawns
stretches...
like a flower
petals upturned
ghostlike vapors
drift away
Bullfrogs croak
My dog slumbers

A gaggle of eight
swimming in a row. Below
upturned eyes watching
the downy offspring parade.
A splash! now there are seven.

Spring dances and
does cartwheels
in the rain with such joy.
Her daffodils dazzle,
faces upturned to catch
this nectar of nature.

Light Verse
My little man,
With tiny feet and tiny hands.
Smiling, sighing,
Winning hearts without trying.
Chubby cheeks, upturned nose,
Bright blues eyes and little bitty toes.

I do not know?
The upturned eyes lets him know that you're calling.
The clasped together hands lets him know to start listening.
For you could be talking & never saying a word.
Just know that he who prays will always be heard.

wordlessly the gift is given
proffered by an upturned face
silent recognition as the eyes embrace
of intimate connection
an acknowledgment of grace
which brought two lives together
at this time and in this place

Memory of my grandson at 6 years old
July 4th 2016
cache extra cuteness
courting field of coneflowers
purple purity
cute as button upturned smile
stirs boy’s long hair and wild grass

Branches adorned with new snow
reach high toward sapphire skies
then gently bow overhead
sheltering my path
Wnds whisper through supple limbs
- the gentle giants awake
to throw soft flakes of cold snow
at my upturned face

books feel no pain
though tattered and torn.
not pricked with voodoo precision,
chiseled at the gums.
my upturned smile borrows misery.
I can not turn the pages.
the patrons read my lips
"woe be gone"

My feet are killing me
In case nobody knows
The chill is real
But all I feal
Is the pinching of my toes
Oh woe Oh
Woe oh woe

on tip of a wisp
as it bevels and bloats
streamlined scribbles etching a note
upturned waves collapsing
in cotton bobs
greys and embers mating a mistake
ethereal tendril veins knitting patters undone
phoenix fogs missed mist
of almost pink

They fall over themselves
Rush to tap on the blessing
Urged on by the holy man
Wallets are turned out
Blessings are decreed
Souls upturned await
They study not the word
Preacher has a direct line
To the creator and maker

Who give me cold comfort
when the Moon rides the pale
I see the mice pass the silho
and then I praise Schubert
who has the courage to change his tune
There's a man on a bicycle
he has no choice
but to ride the upturned mile
in search of his brother

Her unassailed Highness sleeps
belly upturned
in fretful repose
Garnished green, by a faerie ring
bare and barren
laid out for a spell
Majestic head in verdant bed
Impromptu eyeful
a cameo gaze
black and white, by degree
Covert, supine
pussyfoot queen

I do not know?
The sun is low among the branches
Of my emerald picture tree,
And there among the leaves it dances
With the summer breeze set free.
The light then shines through curtain lace,
Which lets beams in in flashes,
Falls upon my upturned face—
Makes rainbows on my lashes.

Lyric
That smirk
an upturned challenge
or warning
climb – it says
ascend
rung upon rung
to the top
to wonder
of other ladders
other smirks
reflect
on that subtle hint
of warning.

Until you really love someone,
you don’t know what you’ll do
The old rules self-abated,
priorities renewed
Until you really love someone,
you won’t see past yourself
Your life upturned, your role reversed
—your soul to someone else

Limerick : Once a dainty Milkmaid with hands like lead
Once a dainty Milkmaid with hands like lead
Milked a cow whose one eye was painted red:
She woke up terrified
Thought Dali Pasteurized:
Felt upturned moustache growing through her head!

Limerick
During day, mind is clogged
By a thousand thoughts
A pot of marbles upturned
On attempting to sweep them together
They slip and slither
Running this way and that way
At night, after their vagrant wanderings
They come back to roost
......................... if not insomniac!

One moment when the dust today
Was flung against my upturned face,
I felt the winter’s breath convey
A dream once mine in childhood’s place.
Yet though I walk a farther mile,
The dream returns, unchanged in hue—
No sadder now than all the while,
For nothing else is ever new.

A cheap imitation toy
Next a deep colored strewn rose
In a house in the 'burbs
At nighttime under heavy snow.
A faltering streetlamp
Near an unretrieved upturned trash barrel;
A backyard dog looks out to lick the snow.
Then silence for a while.

the weaver song birds
weave most elaborate homes
that
LOOK LIKE UPTURNED FLASKS
hummingbird's sweet trills
charms us because it ingests
in
NECTAR TWICE ITS WEIGHT
petite and plumpy
love birds are valentine's souls
but
DON'T EAT CHOCOLATES

A Red Rose her mouth
An upturned curve a pout
Two waves that rise
The shape of her lips
She holds loves confluence
At the very tips
Beautiful thoughts
That burn below
Releasing a kiss
Nice and slow
Layers of nectar
On two petals
A scented taste
Which unsettles.

A foggy, foggy day in January town,
Gripping its pray like tiger claws,
Sullen, spreading its eerie fears
To those behind wintered walls.
Finally, through its misted barrier,
Sunshine pierces her first nature’s needle.
A splash of warmth finds an upturned cheek,
And the world awakens with hope.

They left every stone unturned
Every rose untouched
In the rubble of a shrine
Of those who once had loved
They lie quietly
Faces upturned
Towards the sun
Their tears vaporize
To ascend
To become
A story that will never end
Life begins at the turn
Of a long winding way
Journeyed in a day.
