Ubiquitous Mallards

Bottoms up
in the brook a-babbling
topside down
ducks a-dabbling
wings in webbed feet
a-scrabbling
omnivorously grazing
on the dunk
beneath the water
for insects sunk
yet in the U.S.A.
above below but not abaft
they rank 7th most-hazardous bird
to commercial and military aircraft
and as a high-flyer at least one duck
was struck and it's hard to beat
at a cruising altitude
of 21,000 feet

Solitude In the Shadows

In the shadows, there’s a certain clarity,
A taste of downcast darkness,
A truthful distillation. 

In the shadows, there’s a granularity,
A note of deep resignation,   
A smokey reverie.

In the shadows, there’s a drowsy gauze,
A placid, pensive surrender,
A tranquil, hushed balm.

There’s a solitude in the shadows
On the edges of our survival.

In the shadows, there’s a roving

My Ubiquitous Cell Phone

MY UBIQUITOUS CELL PHONE

At the turn of the century,
A phone joined my inventory.
It enabled me to talk,
Even while taking a walk.

The model was Panasonic;
It seemed to have a few tricks.
It was quite heavy yet small;
It cost a lot to make a call.

Over the years it evolved,
And many a problem it solved.
It helped to send emails,
And

Ubiquitous Cell Phones

Privacy is a freedom of the past,
computers and cell phones took that away;
for it was too precious to ever last.

We now record every word neighbors say;
although we once talked to them face-to-face,
computers and cell phones took that away.

The internet is a chaotic place,
where a like's equivalent to a friend; 
although we once talked to friends

Ubiquitous

Ubiquitous, they’re everywhere you look
Ridiculous, each page of every book
Umbilicus, they bind us like a tether
Precipitous, in haste, like nasty weather
Iniquitous, they’re tossed about in curses
Injurious, their aftermath needs nurses
Litigious, regardless loss or win
Like Sisyphus, we’re forced to start again
Ubiquitous, sometimes it seems absurd
Ubiquitous, our poorly chosen words

Unpacking Ubiquitous

“The presence of a long-term, conscious goal has helped me maintain stability through the ubiquitous changes of over half a century.”
quote by Mary Craig 


Ubiquitous is a fixed measure
of dirty dishes, meals and  laundry;
working moms miss out on their leisure.

Days and nights seem set on chronic pause.
Boredom, loneliness, and arthritis 
barricade the lives of

Ubiquitous

The wind is made of haunting souls that
moan and groan in whistles and whispers.

Richelle E. Goodrich, Making Wishes

The wind blows to the south and turns to the north;
round and round it goes, ever returning on its course.

Ecclesiastes 1:6 Bible NIV


UBIQUITOUS 

whispers in the wind,
coetaneous reverberation of praise,
undulating with ancient grace -
freshening faces, flaring nostrils,
birthing, resurrecting.

Ubiquitous Dream

Ubiquitous Dream

The dream seems
Ubiquitous
Solid and moving
With many boundaries
Many depths
Many interconnections..
No escape from the dream
It is dreamed..
Everything solid and
Imagined
Nighttime and daytime..
Yet a dream of nothing
Is another dream of 
Not knowing or
Emptiness..may seem
Shockingly 
Paradoxically
Indescribably  
Immediately 
Ubiquitous...

Ubiquitous Blue

Blue's a pigment unlike any other
that spills from the heavens and inks the skies.
And it engulfs the Earth yet doesn't smother,
though it's everywhere, even in one's eyes.

It sparkles in lakes and gleams off rivers,
inking the waters of oceans and seas.
And ice-cold, it can give one the shivers
as it solidifies, when waters freeze.

It's often refracted in

Ubiquitous Hedgehogs Hibernate

Around us all doth changeth as Autumn slowly tiptoes in
Unbeknown exactly were the squirrels hide their winter nuts
To eat when there is nothing, on winter’s coldest days ahead
Ubiquitous hedgehogs hibernate for winter’s longest sleep 
My mind not looking forward to dark and dismal nights ahead
Now Halloween, I'm dressed in weirdest clothes I’ve ever seen
As slowly

Ubiquitous

Unlimited in scope 
Unconfined in power
Unbound by man's weakness
Unrestricted by time
Unfazed by boundaries
Uniquely unfettered
Universal--God’s love!

Ubiquitous sugars

Ultimately affects

Underlying gene cells

Unevolved mutations 

Urgent in researching 

Ultimatum provokes

Universal acclaim

A Ubiquitous Word

Love is a ubiquitous word
that's lost its oomph along the way.
A colloquialism for like,
it has become a filler word.

On the Internet and FaceBook,
love is a ubiquitous word.
Any attached sentiment slips
into redundancy with use.

It is over-commercialized
unattached from reality.
Love is a ubiquitous word,
yet time has warped its true meaning.

I want to express my feelings
and tell you what

Love's Ubiquitous

I know Death will someday set my soul free:
yet the thought of dying overwhelms me.
There's no guarantee of what Death will bring:
and the end of life is a scary thing.

Hate and love exist in the heart of Man,  
but we suppress that hate as best we can.
And although youth's easily led astray,
love's ubiquitous, not

Ubiquitous Utterances

A rising moon marks the end of the day:
as a spectacular scarlet sun sets.
And as a spent sun slowly slips away,
subsequent shadows, swallow silhouettes.

Brisk breezes blow, swaying the tallest trees;
their gilded beauty, bestowed by moonlight. 
And as Luna's golden glow tints the leaves:
green conceals itself in the dark of night.

As twilight triggers flickering fireflies:
innumerable twinkling
