Woman In a Cloud

I watched a while on a summer's day,
Above the field in which I lay:
The clouds take form and assume their place,
And in one I saw a face.
A face obscure and yet familiar.
What name that face? Twas sweet Delia!
For one brief moment I saw her peer;
I felt a subtle grayness near.
That shade of gray between dream and sleep,
When thoughts we think, but do not keep.
I watched a while and in conscious thought,
The elusive dream at last I caught.

The Colour of Spring

Springtime comes on gossamer wings;
Its sun beams down on all God's things.
The fields and woods are first to preen;
Each blade and leaf gives off a sheen.
Tis an emerald dress they wear,
Simple beauty without man's flair.
I look around in spring and swear
God's favorite colour is green.

Epigram On the Immigration Debate

Give us your poor, your huddled masses,
And we will feed them with the grasses
Made green by political asses.

A Spoon and a Fork

Someone caught a spoon in bed with a fork,
I assume that's why we now have the spork.
Let's hope they don't catch them with a knife,
Could you imagine a knoon or a fife?

Love Is Like a Flower

Love is like a flower,
It will grow and live;
Beauty to the beholder
Its offering to give.
As it grows older,
Therein the problem lies;
Its beauty doth fade,
It withers and dies.
Yet remember always
In the mists of gloom;
Hope springs eternal,
A flower again may bloom.

Absolutism

O if God and I were as one,
I would take from the world the sun;
And let man see forever night,
Then watch to see if he would fight.

Martha Stewart

There once was a domestic diva named Stewart,
Who started a decorating empire and grew it.
It seems everthing she touched turned to gold,
Until she fell victim to that adage of old;
She succumbed to greed and promptly blew it.

Broken Arrow

In the gray dawn,

surrounded by prairie,
 
a lone buffalo.

A symbol of heritage,

it sheds a tear;

Not for the dead,

but the living.

A Christmas Rose

In the middle of an overwarm
December,

A single yellow rose blooms
from withered leaf and thorn.

Its beauty radiates from petals
brushed with Heaven's gold;

And I am reminded of a star
guiding three wisemen to a

savior born.

The Robin's Egg

Today I found a jewel
Lost amongst the grasses.

A Faberge of nature
Fit for all the masses.

An object of adornment,
Its treasure now concealed;

Never to know its purpose
Or have purpose revealed.
