Strikingly: individual ethic odes: the bereft
Tangible anger: mood most sharp: the heft
Some adorn: leaf buds; flowers: the bloom
From fortress: Lilies induce some: spare room

Seed furrow: drives elation pride: drill guide
But Nature: requisite course time: her beauty
Her paleness: bustle apathy; joy: inner sooty
Whence arose: plain fanning faint: her perfume
Unrifled bloom: rich vials scent: wings plume
Genial earth: envy; prized cheeks: hour of birth
Spring arose: hues views splendor: clean mirth

BE AWARE
From night, fog and frost,
come day,show warmth and heat.
From love's sheen ,glows faith in God.
seek goals,praise and kiss with
thanks to say.
From ache,pain and stress,so with
care,the deep avoid,lest pluck and
wit,peace and praise be destroyed.
Where fear!,hate lies and strife and
pain will.rule the day.
An ekphrasis inspired by Qurinus Kuhlmann 'Love-kiss XLI (1671)
DJAHT is an acronym chain
Just a legacy that shall remain
After time when he’s dead
Hath the stone near his head...
To Hitler who lived in my brain
Author’s note: Donald J.(Adolph Hitler) Trump.
P,
It is not yet Spring but I can taste the Fall
patterned flights that have made her call
hints of hickory hovering low in the breeze
billowing smoke
from the heat we both breathe
cobblestone courses catered and caressed
deeply in our minds
recoiled and ready
to recall and reminisce
barefoot thru the streets
white with red
hot
white with red
ambient skies blending
mixing moments
bloodshed but no not ours
hours dining on delicacies
delighted in ever emerging sights
the ring, the horns
aplenty
the sun doesn't sleep as you call out
x 7
we trample towards the spring
in destiny's path we plant a summer kiss
and fall back
into time, where simplicity
rules the world
BE AWARE a kuhlmann ekphrasis
From night, fog and frost,
come day,show warmth and heat.
From love's sheen ,glows faith in God.
seek goals,praise and kiss with
thanks to say.
From ache,pain and stress,so with
care,the deep avoid,lest pluck and
wit,peace and praise be destroyed.
Where fear!,hate lies and strife and
pain will.rule the day.
