A baby calf dances elegantly, forgetting gallop, highly intentional, jumping, kicking, light movement, nurtured obey parents,quick rider, small try, unique valour, wondering xanthic, young zeal.
A sip of what you dream about,
truly the reson you feel alive.
Abstract confection whipped up
rising with each shut of your eyes.
Amidst the splinters of reality
xanthic views pursue dominance.
Imagine a vivid blue visionboard,
alter that state of consciousness.
xanthic daffodils
swaying in the zephyr breeze ~
blackbirds build new nests
Artificial blooms cause delight!
Exquisite freesias, geraniums, hellebores
Iris, jasmine, kaffir lilies.
My neighbour Oscar
plants quirky realistic stems.
Transplanting unkempt verges
with xanthic yellow zinnias.
Alluring butterflies collectively dance enchantingly,
finding gardens.
Hummingbirds investigate jasmine,
knowing luscious magnolia nectar
offers precious quantity.
Radiant sunshine tantalizes ursinia
vibrant with xanthic yielding zest.
Autumn colored shackles
palpitations make the metal growl
Xanthic forewings and discal cells
grace my mucosa, the ripples feel foul
Eternal suffering in a blissful steel
I like to spend my days believing my delusions are real
Love is just chemicals
that we tend to confuse
But good lord, honey, these confusing chemicals have me addicted to you
May these Lepidopteras lay me down to sleep
and wake me with their shattering roar
Let me taste your vanilla lips
Grip you close with an internal war
plaster and staple my clipped feathers
and let my heart soar
Im wittling away in a bird cage, and begging for your touch
I spend my free time knowing I’m too much
so listen to my last exasperated “I love you”
And i’ll rattle these chains
dream of my terminal phalanx touching the sky
and gracing your face
I’ll slam into the metal walls
recoil in ecstasy
grip my stomach until hemoglobin lines the ridges in my flesh
try to rip the monarch lovers out
in hopes they let me rest
Im wittling away in a bird cage
with a dying wish for your head on my chest
Sweet
flowers
beautify
pots and gardens
xanthic daffodils
dance on a zephyr breeze
watch them raise their trumpet blooms
It’s as though they are announcing
the dull dark days of winter are gone
and stunning spring has finally arrived!
Xanthic is a lovely word
I learned if from Carmello
She told me that it’s meaning
Was for the colour yellow
If I write of golden daffodils
Or the glorious rising sun
I often will include this word
To use it is great fun!
Xyloid small ship sets course
xylograghs mark the hull
xanthic sails fill and shape
xenops birds are a’flight
xiphias fish swim seas
xenial sailors sing
xylophone sounds soothe souls.
A Pleaides Poem
10/5/2022
on hyaloid shade phylum
of zaffre azure
swish
soulful scrutinize
apodictic vinculum
magniloquent
wandering of wispy whooshes
wrapping wisps of weird warbles
shrivel olive trees
overflow no omen
drenched in sweat
summoned by chimera
once called passion
title assertion?
baud pace of rimless dreams
blurred bark
bare branches
fruitless leaves
unfetter'd
sky loose
mythic gem idol
purine as Myrsine
space rock fit
moon zappily
uncanny
azure drilled of ritzy rag doll
mesh shimmer blaze shackle
include
dare
desire
gaudy Sirius in darkened spell
mottled splendor
to cognize my path
as xanthic whispers
afresh

Ants crawl onto our picnic
Blanket in a straight line,
Creeping towards the food.
Dad swipes at them as we are
Eating and my sister attacks them with a
Fork, flicking them into the
Green grass beside her
Hurriedly,
I swipe up my sandwich and
Juice box to
Keep them away from the
Long line of approaching ants.
Mom grabs a
Napkin to push the ants
Off the blanket.
Picnics are usually
Quite eventful, whether
Robins or
Squirrels attempt to
Take our food from
Us, but we
Value the enjoyable time
We have together, picking
Xanthic dandelions and
Yelling as we play,
Zig-zagging through the park.
As zephyrs cool mischievous breezes,
quiver hosts of vibrant daffodils.
Join us now, in roaming yonder pastures.
Knowing wherein the early spring,
luxuriant xanthic flowers grow.
10 / 31 / 2021.
Spring's arrived at last, she wears her green dress
as I go rambling on lush verdant hills
This season's so special I will confess
I pick some beautiful gold daffodils
their xanthic colour relieves any stress
after depressing days of winter chills
Fluffy newborn lambs gambol in the fields
I love the rebirth that spring always yields

Xanthic daffodils
sway in bright sunshine
their golden trumpets
are all heralding
the dawning of spring
Snowdrops raise heads
and pansies smile
as icy shawls
just melt away
My garden’s
adorned with
pretty blooms
Spring is
here to
stay!

we wake up at the crack of dawn
to view the gold sun rise
it’s a glorious sunny morn
let’s wander over verdant hills
crossing the patchwork fields
of vibrant xanthic daffodils
and watch them dance on zephyr breeze
their golden trumpets sound
as blackbirds chirrup in the trees
after a hike we’ll stop and rest
and gaze at the blue sea
our nature rambles are the best!
