Twilight

Fast aproaching night
Full moon rising in the east
Sun setting westward
Shadows envelope the land
All is calm during the night

small lake off highway
gold captured by stippled waters
reflections dancing
sun’s silent westward passage
into a river of dreams

midnight eyelids make a grab

We three toms of Laredo are
Running from a sheriff's star
Westward leading, still proceeding
Soon hiding in Kitty's fancy Cat House Bar

The Westward Winds

The westward wind blows
soft rains to water the crops.
It also brings dust.

fiery ripples spread across

wind-blown daffodils

Premium Member Westward Wanderlust

Westward wanderlust,
Wagon waltzes with Winter wine,
White watercolor walleye, windy-wallop.

Wading where wafers wage war,
Where warmth wanes without warning.
Wary whispers; weather will weather, whatnot.

                                         by noon she teased the flowers

The Man With a Kipper On His Head

The Man with a Kipper on his head

I was told of a man from Westward Ho! 
Who always wore a Kipper on his head.
It was asked of him, why do you wear it so? 
“Well, I used to wear a Trout,  
but prefer a Kipper instead!”

Premium Member To Fly

To fly;
To scorn the gravity
That holds us down
Into the mundane everyday.

To fly;
To ride the wind
With weightless wings
Of gracefulness.

To fly;
To encompass the world
With an always rising sun,
Ever westward and beyond.

                                                        the errant west wind 
                                                     wobbly migratory birds -
                                                         disoriented flight

Sky Is Her Name

She transforms her attire
from blue to red
she gently ushers her fiery friend
to his westward bed
They've spent the day together
But now he's gone and out of sight
So she slips on her sparkling black number
That she discards at first light.

Premium Member we three pups of orient are

We three pups of Orient are….
Lounging in stockings, not so far.
Shield and mountain, paws and fountains,
Following yonder star….

Oh, oh….
Star of wonder, star of bite
Star of normal beauty, bright,
Westward leading, teeth receding…
Give us our bones, we want tonight.

Westward Peace

When he leaves
It takes everything in me
To not follow
If he can’t lead
So far east
That the sun too flees
From mornings of sorrow
For westward peace

And it soothes to be held
To be loved like I am someone else
Still the fool, never quelled
Loving him as I should myself
