Laura Gail Sweeney Poem
Pecking its way out of the golden light
Songbirds arise non-feathered when they hatch
Feathered wings lift them high in upward flight
Crested larks lay colourful eggs that match
Aeronautical flying birds in love
In the air, romancing like Valentines
Returning to where they were quite beloved
Where their hearts weren't always undermined
I know you do verily love the uplift
Even when your spirit flies to the bayside
Where imagination soars adrift
While I'm trekking on with my mighty hindsight
Bright light flies from the summits each morning
A reddish glow adorns those summits, recording:
Alpenglow!

Laura Gail Sweeney Poem
Dark skies lurked to press upon 'em
To Autumn they succumbed
Trying to change was superfluous
By twilight, the hills were overcome
Fingertips of trees reached upward
Hoping to prick the clouds
Windy spirits then flew skyward
It was heartfelt and profound
A kindhearted spirit disappeared
Beckoning the leaves to glow
They could not refuse adherence
When down came the shadow
Rain embraced green hills abruptly
Drizzling its dainty fingers
Across grasslands prematurely
Where puddles would linger
Dancing like the deities
Of pagans long ago
Nature shared its transiency
And shone itself aglow
Autumn carried its winds above
Not knowing what to think
About nature's labour of love
To which humans are linked
The night solemnly awaited
Dusk's passage to morning
The course of time was fated
For Derbyshire's adornment
Animated eastern midlands
And the good people there
Enchantment set them free
Whilst Autumn filled the air
With colourful leaves everywhere
The Autumn brings them joy
Loving hearts are found in the square
Bright new daylight galore!

Laura Gail Sweeney Poem
Evoking the oak tree with a
Thank you for the stupendous day
So simple, yet, so profound
No need to do anything extraordinary
Because the universe resides simply
With white snowfall sanitizing my mind
Your imagination working like magic field birds
Warbling as you go
Let's create the countdown to amazing places together
Be my beloved even when your heart aches
Because we reside on the right side of the divine
Mindset where simplicity prevails and entails
What I couldn't do without you
Nobody's going to understand the breakthrough
On the bright side of the fluid mind
Where starlight ignites your kindness

Laura Gail Sweeney Poem
Younger, brighter, and more luminous
Than before, in an evolutionary process of happiness
Knowing you, communicating with you
Just being there
Paradoxical life holds many juxtaposed nuances
Whereby the truth rests in between the parallel
Waves that flow out from the organic forms
Of human dance
Just knowing you in time and space
Heals the pain that intertwined with
The pleasurable waves
When I dreamed of the future that would come
I hoped you would have lit the candle
By the time two chords would have been wound up
Into one colorful, twisting rope
On the day of our reunion
Desiderata, with her nuances,
Will have represented those desires that we all have,
Those of the wisely chosen love pangs,
Those of the spiritual chords that intertwine
Across space and time

Laura Gail Sweeney Poem
The newest Leap Year beckons women to make a heartfelt move
while promising to be true to the soul and actions
I have knelt down because it's time that I propose to you,
even impromptu, promising to say "I do" with Celtic words: Aoibhneas, Baile.
I love you for your distinct virtues. Please, do not misconstrue this vow that I now renew.
You're likely to be amazed by such words of praise coming from me
But you should know that I love you verily; I've reappraised the situation,
And I'm all aglow when I think of the stargazed dream
Such a marriage could set us free and raise our expectations, we who are Vikings!
If I don't take the chance to propose during our dance, four years will pass again with less romance; thus, it's best I write these words of confession to you with my own pen rather than to keep them suppressed, all the while,
Promising that my vow will be acknowledged by God above who blesses our love, still expressed while un-professed
My mind reaches out to you, boundlessly and timelessly, no matter what you say or do, thereunto, without any borders to keep my love away; I invite your imagination to fly with thoughts of the magnificent adulation and how I'll reveal my heart to you, going on a mountain rendezvous, with vegetables overgrown in your garden where they thrived,
Undervalued for such a long time while nature embraced you in a breakthrough,
Growth arose with the sound of bells nearby--chiming, dancing, and chanting in rhythm, the mountains, all the time, dipping into the valley to meet you in peace.
This year will be Leap Year, it's true, and all I want to do
Is marry you. No more, no less, only to achieve heartfelt happiness.
I'll view you through the misconstrued residue of my own true love.

Laura Gail Sweeney Poem
My infancy was the time for imagining your unique beauty
As the saprophyte danced in the magical fountain of ambiguity
You ingenuously stole my pulverized heart with your duality
Your ironware, I mean those muscles, were more than fruitful
Just like inner potency to inspire my spirit; they were my infinity
Because the dancing spirits obliquely touched me as I sat there in a tree
Dacoity imbued their roaming minds until they were ultimately free
And once I became as diametrical as the tides, I traveled across the sea
Let's take a kiosk to the dutiful trees that enchant me
Otherwise, the spirit within us will conically
Travel to an extraterritorial place which has yet to be freed
Like the uncombed hair of an angelic weeping willow tree
With its wild gamekeeper who keeps score of my latent thoughts
Such quandry thoughts will never cease to amaze me, verily
It's better not to be complacent about the future that humans will face
An annuitant flower bud will grow and expand our shared, ancient garden
Such flowers will invoke the threader in our imaginative minds
Your skin silkily makes everything resolve itself for me so that I finally smile
And you make peace with the challenges that prevail all the while
Because you're the one I love, the one whom I'd not beguile.
Your name evokes perfection
All the while, my beloved connection

Sunlight's breath expands outward

Laura Gail Sweeney Poem
Eager children await sweet treats
And colourful bags that have been filled
As well as pumpkins lined up to greet
Their tricks make the treats increase
All of the kids are thrilled
Eager children await sweet eats
A Jack-o-lantern is the centrepiece
And a black cat has just appeared
Pumpkins flicker along the streets
In scary ghosts, there's no belief
Ghost hunters are thrilled
Reaching out their hands for treats
Singing to the beat
Of cupcakes colour-sprinkled
Pumpkins are chanting along the street
Tonight, there'll be a feast
As Halloweeners' wishes are fulfilled
Eager witches give kids sweet treats
As ghouls and goblins fly to drumbeats!

Laura Gail Sweeney Poem
The Blood Moon is entwined in grape vines
Where it swirls around and climbs!
The Moon looms in the curl,
Guarding its encounter with Earth and Sun.
Thus, night's descent has begun
With scattered light on the run!
A total lunar eclipse
A celestial event not to dismiss
A celestial pastry with vegan cream
Red wavelengths are glowing in our dreams.
Let's strip down to the theatrical roles
Of flying faeries with merry souls!
Dancing faes, reddish delights,
Are concentric circles this golden night,
Ancient runes, sounding tunes,
Everything whirls in the Moon.
Faeries take flight with lunar ease,
Into the skies, into the trees,
Then gliding with the breeze.
Hang on tight as new mightiness arises.
Star-gamers explore mysterious skies.
Transformation occurs, to no surprise.
Terracotta towers touch red Moonlight
While rusty brown calms the flames
The eclipse announces sky games!
Yellow ochre softens sentiments.
Burnt umber cloaks mysteries.
Blood red ignites history.
Flamingo pink, a heart's reprieve
With enchanting alignments to deceive
Intense energy shifts are received.
Alignment comes from astral play,
Just as the Stars say,
"May the Spiral guide the Blood Moon's eclipse
With Heart and Cosmos on our lips!"

Laura Gail Sweeney Poem
Hopping across fields of happiness
Early-morning Fluffy rejoices in the edibles of earth
Glowing white and pearly, a real spunky bunny
Points her petite, pink nose upward to daylight’s boundless birth
Fluffy personifies cute, cuddly impulsiveness
Jumping skyward when she perceives birds
A teeny-weeny bunny feels like eating something yummy
And unearthed veggie delights are preferred
Adorable Fluffy hops to kids with contentedness
To be petted by children moving back and forth
Catching their gazes requires Fluffy to be jumpy
While competing with their laughs to be heard
Dancing grasslands and flowers evoke merriness
In the wind, requiring Fluffy to be alert
Watching the merry bunny nibble food is so funny
Then away she goes, sneaking under the fence, undeterred
Fearless Fluffy, famous for her choosiness
For natural treasures that she’s unearthed,
Her earthly bounty provides the sunny
Orange carrots as reimbursement.
In springtime, Fluffy displays fuzziness
Fennel, hay, crisps, and zucchini are her preferred
So, when fuzzy Fluffy plays joyfully in the country
This dancing cottontail will hide the chicken’s eggs for disbursement
Throughout the rabbit kingdom, coats of arms are emblazoned with sunniness
Warming her boundless heart
Fluffy is undoubtedly a lucky bunny
Living life lovingly, lighthearted and reaffirmed
Mundanely divine!
