The Vinaceous Valentine 1956
As Remembered: by Tom
2-24-2020
Nothing hurt more than perfidy of this friend,
I can still hear her words, “you are so uncouth.”
but it didn’t take too long for my heart to mend,
what rendered the pain, was that it wasn’t the truth.
How refined could either be at age sixteen
not old enough to avoid a tongue twister.
Though I still thought of her as my beauty queen
I proceeded to see her younger sister.

CRANBERRY HARVEST
Jelly birthed from a can
“Phloop”
DNA traits, solid with ridges,
a cranberry infantile jiggle.
I took for granted the birth,
until i saw the vinaceous bogs,
the waterlogged cradle —
Oh how succulent!
Crimson dawn appears, as the waters rise —
cranberries on their verdant vines.
Pregnant trucks deliver
this tangy thanksgiving feast.
Oh baby! My mouth waters
for this Autumn treat,
alongside turkey and fixings
to pretty up each plate and palate.

You may find me where the green gentle grass lies sleeping
For I shall be there healing wounds by their weeds weeping
You may also find me near where waters wilfully wander
As I watch the skies for the calculating carnivorous condor
You may find me in the vinaceous valleys visualizing my dreams
For I sail swiftly aboard their silent saddened streams
You may also find me under the towering Trembling Aspen trees
As I bravely bond with and ingest the beguiled breeze
You may find me lively lucidly listening to rhythm’s of the sphere
For I meticulously marvel music the wonder that I hear
You may also find me in the habitable harmonic healing caves
As the earthly echo embraces my soul that it saves
I am now found on the magical mystical mountains high
Where abundant ambient Angels keep a watchful eye.
