Zephyrs
‘I cannot tell you how it was
But this I know it came to pass.’
Beneath the broad and spreading oak,
Warm zephyrs sighed through meadow grass.
They danced among

Gentle Zephyrs
Where do they go, these ghostly figures
From our famous Poetry Soup site
They're loyal fans for a month or so
Then poof... this apparition takes flight
Like gentle zephyrs, they float in and out
We really don't get to know them
Consensus is, they may not exist
Just an illusion from somebody's pen
Glory be, who are these strange creatures
I'm sure they'll

Gossiping With Zephyrs
Green!
Alive
on tall grass,
blithe, lithe, limber,
swaying long and lean
in their beachy masses.
The deadpan sand eavesdrops as
breezes wave blades like silk banners.
Whispers whir with emerald voices;
long-winded grass gossiping with zephyrs.

Zephyrs
Within one day I’ve lived much more
Than in twelve seasons, all combined,
And thus I’ve learned how to ignore
What can oppress the wearied mind.
I once was summoned back to light
From a deep slumber of the will,
To learn that, if I ceased to fight,
The sea of time would hold me still.
I raised my head,

Easy Zephyrs
Breezy balmy zephyr
Whistling through your hair;
Sparkling sunburst
~~~~~~~~~
Waltzing on the breeze
Lady with parasol;
Sunscreen stroll
~~~~~~~~~
Old friends meeting
Chat over lunch;
Journey update
~~~~~~~~~
Words in brief entry
Journey journal;
Vivid self-talk
~~~~~~~~~
Afternoon siesta
Drowsy with sweet talk;
Somnolence loiters
~~~~~~~~~
Charming manners preside
Good nature speaks;
Gentle murmurings
~~~~~~~~~
Listen calmly
My lovely heart knows;
Details unnecessary
~~~~~~~~~
Magic moments --
Nothing unusual really,
Simple agendas attend
~~~~~~~~~
And when you look
Do you see me;
Pretty blue flower
~~~~~~~~~
Bamboo garden
Stray wind ruffles
...

Zephyrs
Cool breezy swirl
Pregnant with rain;
Abrupt metaphor
Man walking dog
Faces so alike;
Harmonic motion
News flash
Warring fractions;
Lose-lose situation
Grass verge flowers
Unceremonious strands;
Beauty unnoticed
Old rubber tree
Nature's monument;
Wears a regal countenance
Sky of grey-black
Random lightning flash;
Nature re-decorating
Feline chorus
Evening entertainment;
Midnight madness
Easy breezy
Zephyrs swirl and dance;
Cold evening gathers
Between sad and bad
Choose to be glad;
Weather grim change

Local Zephyrs
June conspires
Sun and rain and wind;
Equatorial somnolence
Ways and means
Cluster of conflicts;
Confront life's business
Down winding roads
Cityscapes retreat;
Highrise dwellings clutter
Bus ride to nowhere
New estates emerge;
Road map carbon copy
News flash and highlights
Routine monotony presides;
Celebrate gratitude then
Order in sure fashion
Odd ball roller coaster;
Jolly simplicity
Next year's birthday thoughts:
Celebrate 50 years --
City-state nation
Forged from uncertainty
Precarious transit pains;
Here we are now
Ageing population
New
