From whitened trees, leaves are leaving
Releasing fall, color flutters
Upon the wind's icy mutters
With a ruby river weaving
Homage to a season's grieving

Hair of my youth was pretty auburn fine.
with glimpses and dashes of red said Valentine.
Oodles of melatonin to keep it a glitzy glowing red
whitened up when I got a bit older, said Cousin Fred.

her chilled beauty...
splashed in whitened paint
through Christmas' buds
my eyes turn into soot
and bury Mom's splendor

Lullaby 2
wind voices speak wild words
above an eider down of dreams
and nighted owl sleeps close to the trunk
when November rends our sky
rain changes from her silks
and whitened raiment wears
as winter casts its nets of frost
across the naked bowers

Collectors, traveling from far,
Dig in ashes piled behind
The weather-whitened, ghost-town bar:
Whiskey bottles there to find.
A hundred years have come to pass:
Cowboys—gamblers—girls—all dead.
Half-buried legacies of glass
Gleam beneath the rotting shed.

The flying winter-end moves ambivalently
Scoffing with whitened celebration
And thrashing through adoration
While nippy Jack Frost chuckles underhandedly
Into the evening joyful delight
The spring time moon, sings in speckle red
Life moves triumphantly in joyful wed
And stillness beats the night

in negative temperature
on whitened branch
refracting winter's dark
inversing frosted blanch
pitch to mirrored pool
of symmetry below
in opposite of dual -
serene in its afterglow

But as we begin
to break down
and burn
We will wistfully
watch and learn
that in this lifeline
you’ll have to
be a
dismally
darkened dove.
Left to let go
of the one
thing you’ve
ever loved.
As you raise
your weakly
whitened
wings to fly
into the
numbing unknown
nature of
the nurturing
night sky.

S-aturday eighteenth February
A-ims to clear the sky;
R-ed beacon has whitened
A-ll the clouds up
H-igh.
Q-uest for the fine clime,
U-ntil you find the dawn;
I-t's a beautiful day,
N-ight is brought to oblivion.
A-llow the lonely twilight to make a change or shift;
N-ew dawn has let you receive an early birthday gift.

G-ray clouds Wednesday
H-ave been whitened by the beacon;
E-arly sun March fifteenth
R-ises above the horizon.
L-et the raindrops fade
I-nto the black and blue;
N-ight shadows disappear, mist is nowhere in view.
E-ventide turns into dawn,
B-ehold the fine weather;
I-t's a beautiful new day,
D-ark cold night is
O-ver.

May winter's days
And Frozen nights
Continue opening doors,
of marshmallow puffy clouds
Letting out sparkling frost bits
specs of dirt
drizzling a puff whitened snow star flakes
Snowfalls
Winter days, frozen nights

Tender blossom ~
Little blossom,
Intoxicates with such perfume;
I smell you ~
kneeled before you,
Warmed by summer afternoons.
With your sweetened cherry fragrance,
Showered in such glowing radiance,
Such elegance in shining metal
Caressing velvet whitened petals.
Little Blossom ~
Tender Blossom,
Yes, I love you
Lonely one;
My fragile flower in the sun.

There's a quick remedy for those neglected smiles,
even your dentist won't tell you that...
it's still a well-kept secret;
grandma whispered it to mother,
and mother to daughter,
but not father to son? Isn't it hypocritical, boys?
All women must be kissed by impatient men,
and what's more attractive than
teeth whitened by inexpensive baking soda, guys?
It's time you made yours whiter than Paul's!

While the water’s whitened waves
Flew forth fast in foamy sprays
All amidst an airy act
Blowing, blasting, beating back
Seeing swarthy, seaward sailing ships
Onward o’er the ocean dips
Upward, downward, driving days
Seeking harbors, havens haste their ways
The ships sail sure in stormy seas
Calmly coursing comes a breeze
Now softly sailing, slides the ship
Muffled, mellow, made my trip

Alliteration
Joyful this heart a-fluttering,
As the golden drift of soft light
Cascades on hands, laden with ice
Kneading whitened snow into balls,
Frozen like a moonlight’s pearled orb
Releasing its crystal glaze of nights
Only a winter thrill can dare...
So, let Jack Frost swing brightened tunes
To dance on lanes, a- wandering!

shivering
with the morning cold
only autumn leaves capture the dreams i dream
like the ripping seams
of my heart
that dance in this morning cold
or at least that is how it seemed
shivering
is all the i know
ashamed of hotness
of all sorts
because autumn leaves
left all but one autumn leaf
I am left shivering
with the morning cold
this was something like
my encounter with un-whitened snow...

First a raindrop, a cold and icy core
then a whitened flake joined by one or two more;
clustered gatherings before the storm
a build of slow intensity as snow begins to form;
Come now winter once more to its return drawn
earthen shadows no longer warmed by downed leaves forlorn.
Gray tunes in the day, as all creatures feasting slip away
in the mist and quiet flow this day of blue to shades of white and gray.

Sparkle from a whitened tooth
a seamless movement of pace,
enslavement in catholic youth
buried under a veil of lace.
Elegance from a pearl white gown
truth hidden from her face,
under a studded crystal crown,
in slender and with grace.
Dreams of a forever and ever.
An eternity set for revamp,
taunted by a death of a ghost
images of an ivory camp
long life and regal host
(Princess Charlene Lynette Wittstock)

The winds blow very high
The bird cry's out loud
How many sorrow must I have
How much pain must I go through
Do you not see the bright mirror
Lamenting over my white hairs
The pain have gone through whitened my hair
Thousands of gold spent
But more will come up again
Have you not seen the dog star ??
Bringing back the lost hope
Have you not seen the blue water from the sky
Surging into the earth never to return again

I'm tired of being defined
By the jagged lines
That line my eyes
I'm tired of being based
On blackened hair
That hides my face
I'm tired of people scanning arms
Searching for bloody marks
That are long gone
I'm tired of people standing there
Waiting for the knife
To reappear
Under the blackened spell of dawn
Gaze upon what I've become
Through the sunlight that lights my arms
You can clearly see these whitened scars

It was a day or two before the smells came
Silent moments of déjà vu
In which the walls whitened in sympathy
The tiles laughing their cracked guilt
How did they find me here? Stowaways
In bottles of surgical spirits
Their cold indifference stifling
They watched me from the bathroom cupboard
Gripping this last vestige of panic
Its clinical stench the smell of God
I list the words for fear in lines of nines
Our toothbrushes lying side by side

Success is a strange definition:
Larger in the mind of an onlooker –
Smaller in the hands of a heritor –
In truth – without a measurement.
It can be exaggerated like a rubber band.
It can be dragged through the mud –
Rescued – cleaned and whitened up.
It can be far to sight or close at hand –
Pleasant to the eye on a resumé –
On a statement or ring like a melody
To the hearer of such rhapsody
Or with a shrug – be explained away.

Children know
That giants grow,
Ghosts are true,
And witches too.
Grown-ups don’t,
And so they won’t
Hear things wail
Inside the gale.
“It’s an owl
Or some cat’s yowl,”
They insist
With whitened fist.
You know more:
You lock your door,
Snuggle deep
And pray you sleep.
Then at dawn
Behold the lawn:
Sunrise glints
On fresh, fresh prints.
Bones have walked,
Ghosts darkly stalked,
Tombs have stirred,
And you, YOU heard.
