Letters that are sound enhancing
and trippingly through my words go dancing ~
that’s the language that I seek
to get all my verse to speak,
though mostly ~ tongue-in-cheek.
“Forever and a day” is surely a cliché
It flows so trippingly, by the way,
The older I get the more I realize
Not many phrases left to utilize.

Though heavens open in sluice, hitherto
First light trippingly carving out
Slivering wisped skies bewailing
Elevating perception in voiceless misery
Perceiving faith…
A pioneering masterpiece fashioned
Nature’s initial exhibition
Leisurely comes to pass on high
In illuminated celestial vividness
Astonished in allay…
Suspended absolute fleeting swiftly
Virtuous prismatic watercolors
Chorused seraphic pealing
Heralded upon soft zephyrs
Promise acquiescing…
Divine stroked rainbow
