("Mind's Eye Merit Badge" #67, 2020, original oil)
In the Spacious Green
Cutting through directly
across the stream of endless traffic
I arrive in an instant
on the median
calm, still, at peace
in the spacious green.
How can it be such a fool
has such opportunity?
How can it be such a direct path exists?
Everyone else whizzing past
glimpses this space
but cannot stop
imbedded in the flow
as they are
bound to journey
from here to there.
So fast they go
compelled to race along
ever faster
a blur in the mind’s eye
while I have simply ceased
at peace
in the spacious green.

In the midst of midnight twilight stance,
Amorous moon, sails veil moment trance.
Transform a lustrous, finely colored finesse.
Spacious heaven at a glance,
Autumn wind threads a rhythmic dance,
Poetic dreams and romance.
Stars whirl mutely in distant space;
Submissively fade in the night's countenance.
Never ending or beginning expanse.
Goodbye to yesterday quintessence.

Her first name is Precious:
A saleswoman not anxious
To flee from shop not spacious
For another with items more luscious!
That’s, perhaps, why she is Precious:
Twenty years but ever gracious,
Even when praises had got fictitious
And flashed smiles goddamned facetious...
A youth but hasn’t been vicious
Over her feeding, poorly nutritious
Some influence names have on their bearer
Simply find one and try getting nearer.

Beyond skies lies immense, intense space.
Absence, suspense adds unknown to face.

How bountiful is the spacious sky
Releasing breaths in a single sigh
My soul is calmed by the rising sun
Revitalizing rays lively spun
Intoxicating aromas play
Winds of desire baroque their ballet
Landscapes levitate their mountain peaks
For Angels attend as Heaven speaks
Night nestles with the mesmeric moon
The Mockingbird sings a starry tune
Lovers cocoon where shadows seduce
Amidst spacious sky lustering loose.

Voracious and Spacious
My poems have become a success
And spread out and also spacious;
The next thing that I then knew,
Was now a horrible Horn haiku
Readers loved vibrant and voracious.
We are learning what writing meant;
Heard about great place called Ghent;
There ability to write people possess
And never distress or ever depress;
More time on writing I have spent.

The art of musing isn’t hard to learn
Instead of tablets,screens,electric toys=…….
A spacious mind may entertain the spurned
We sometimes learn this when we need to mourn
As companions leave, of sympathy devoid
The art of musing isn’t hard to learn.
As milk ‘s transformed to butter as we churn
So sorrow’s ale brings memories of joy
A spacious mind may entertain the spurned
The art of living is one art we earn
By patience and with tempers un-annoyed
The art of musing isn’t hard to learn
As life goes by,how greatly we may yearn
For lovers lost in wars akin to Troy
A spacious mind can entertain the spurned.
Unlike that mistress tempted to be coy,
We open up our our minds to marvelled joy
The art of musing isn’t hard to learn
A spacious mind may entertain the spurned

To absorb the blue sky,
and feel the distance between.
To walk beneath this round canopy,
feeling minuscule.
To find beauty in silent change to black,
in its gentle loop.
To free the soul, to meditate in peace,
beneath blue spacious realm,
where the heart yearns to be measured,
as covering clouds render shade,
until..I'm no more

Be beyond blame
Nest nimble name
Forge feisty flame
Plot profound play
Dance dreamy day
Seek sacred say
Spacious signs squeal
Frame funny feel
Wear working will
Faith freezes fear
Hope hurries here
Calm choice claims cheer
Steer steadfast stance
Dare dizzy dance
Pounce piquant prance
Cruise crazy crowd
Lift laughter loud
Prompt pretty proud
Bear bold being
Boost becoming
Be bright blessing
