Ode On An Ode

...A former lyric to celebrate some bode
A lyric to praise someone who is a goad
A lyric in praise of the West Wind - an abode
Of Autumn and frost; a lovely lyric that rowed
Many poets to the highes...

The Trees of D'abadie

...
  Where sets the sun again
far from the din of Port of Spain
  shadows fall on the plain.
And on that plain over I strode
when the wind its trees winnowed
  up the old Eastern Main Road

Evolved Morality, Part Ii

is what holds us back from the edge,
what keeps us from just destroying,
and leaving all enemies dead.

far-off look scans the future

tease, tickles eyes, curious
beauty in obscurity

Anniversary Blues

...O’ to fade! To pass! To rest! To die!
     To ponder, to listen 
                  and not forebode -
you were as a thresher to the chaff
     and the driven wind 
                     that ...

Down the Road

...I looked at her across the years
      her graying tresses, winnowed tears
         and there amidst, my own dread fears
   that life might find her lacking -
her one true love
      long du...

Winter Blues

...The mistral cold wind blew incessantly wild,
Winding in the streets, its glacial currents in and around
The apartment blocks where all frosted windows
Were tightly secure.  Still the bleak wintry ...

All That I Owe

...The sun is blazing torridly,
And the wind piping drearily,
I'm about to lose my mind,
Because I'm running out of time.

Battling with the winnowed tastes of the ages,
One can see the dimness of...

Dreamscape

...Dreamscape

Fright night echoes sounds clink tapped chalices,
Amidst caused bruised concoctions aplenty,
Dons alehouse barmaids geniality,
Fair distance yonder gates of said p...

Atonement

...
            There's always a cost in circumstance lost,
        When the pitied mistakes start to bleed ...
     But I never meant that these errors be bent,
   By the demons of weakness and...

A Sustainable Sanctuary

...I'm in the life-long process 
of conjoining a Unitarian Universalist Green Sanctuary
communion of All Souls
living healthy 
on all wealthy Earth soils.

This is not my first time joining an int...

The Vagabond

...The deep delved path winds in the wood,
chasing with ghost-breaths and leafy hoods,
arbor-brawn the winnowed path crooks along;
whispering with what future song?

To ill desire and inches from h...

Of Ladies and Lords

...He walked with her a good mile
and talked with increasing smile,
with wonder he sat,
for the gladness in her heart;
...spent her days with wild hope ---
that he was in her eldest dreams,
from t...

Time In Flight

...Time in Flight!

Older people all tell us time's faster, it seems, 
When they think back to much younger days.
Is it true, something real, or just fanciful flight? 
Time in school (ask a fool)  ...

Reaching the Third Level

...
To reach nirvana
Poet paradise
You have to reach the third level

It's a journey to forever
It may take some their whole lifetime,
and others may never get there

It's a quantum leap...
