Torn skirt billowing behind you like a parachute, you fell, fell, for the telescoped eternity of two seconds. The pond turned its blind eye to the sky, and the shuddering gate swung shut. No one was talking. Next day, the sun stirred the larkspur into bloom again. A rambler saw the flattened weeds, suspected a fox, and poked around...

Premium Member Flower In the Crannied Wall
It’s just like an intellectuallist to tear creation from its little nest of stone, thinking only if it rests in his hand, if he can see all its white veins will he grasp its mysteries. Maybe this is why he knows Death so well, and God so little. Who, wanting a lover, seizes it out of life, and lays its corpse in a...

Wonders of the world abound on our earthly stomping ground, in the seven seas profound, midst the heavens round us wound. Images from reaches vast by astronomers amassed show in varicolored cast, cosmic glories unsurpassed, stories of the great immense, begging questions why and whence, scenes stelliferously dense, bringing past to present tense. Oh how tantalizing to lose oneself in starry view of galactic vision new where a poet’s words...

A Bliss Eternal An Ode To Tennyson
Dare I shed this skin, and heart and bone neath this hollow shell, where the ecstasy of life though death dwells, a season for all time; they pass as sand through the hourglass, dripping down to melted months, I feel as the slitted urn, eased to deathly mirth Be I that fain patron of death --- that austere table set for my invincible demise, I...

Ring Out, Wild Bells, to the Wild Sky (Ode to Alfred Lord Tennyson) Fair son of England whom I write of saw not well; thus short of sight, formed lines that in his head would lie. Ring out, wild bells, to the wild Sky. Those lines (deep thoughts) - once written down - rang out like church bells through a town or birds,...
