Broken down transport
wet roads coming home found dog
chewing leather shoe

Just catching up now
after hiatus is past
love your words divine

visit every day
get my fix of poetry
fellow addicts here

Clouds swirl up above
people cower down below
no lights in home

Three girls loving barns
all have birthdays coming up
hay, hay sounds like fun

Pan plays notes of love
golden locks swirling in air
dancing in meadows

organ music plays
lion bobs girl squealing for joy
fireflies blink in dark

women throughout time
having fought our countries wars
deserve our respect

laughing child fills room
wistful smile do not grow up
hold in arms lover

bugle calls order
sergeant yells get out of bed
sun is up let’s run

clopping hooves echo
boots polished shining in sun
caisson follows horse

flag of cotton flies
colors of freedom and blood
tears of joy are shed

discipline honor
teamwork building loyalty
respect for buddies

poverty despair
a military career
for some offers hope

it’s hard to explain
racking up ill gotten gains
reporters a pain.

fractal flowing on
hydrogen two oxygen
clean water is life

echoes rattle loud
reflecting light flashing harsh
shows infinite space

Ya’know I may have
mentioned your turns of phrasing
pathways of the mind

a genius grumbles
the world stands still in horror
please say it ain’t so

broken heart crying
round body yearns for his touch
walk away in pain

Day woke slumbering
each color unique and fresh
drink deep of passion

sharp notes slice the air
hot cold bodies move and flow
improvisation

empty soul lost hope
days pass in endless longing
poor is not a crime

dreams chase bitter streets
once was loved in measure full
drained out long ago

pair of sisters eat
black and white on black and white
no gray soul allowed

red and tart hanging
quilt of downy white crystals
scent of spring lingers

moan of contentment
stuffed mouth licking and sucking
save room for dessert

roots seek nirvana
eating stone filling belly
eons later burp

Blossoms fade as dreams
Each spray a new beginning
Warmth of friendship blooms

Water corrodes stone
walls constructed with labor
washed away in tears

On black feathered wings
hopped from each pillar to post
croaked off with their heads

white linen pressed flat
raised voice spills heart on table
date ends in discord

Olive pressed for oil
Lamps light kindled faith of hope
Share our daily bread

light moves north daily
strident call flashy plumage
hooked beak rending flesh

Eternal white bones
heaped high in random patterns
melting in summer

friend’s grief cuts sharply
each sunrise on life’s journey
darkness covers soul

three windows white squares
two cats intent orange hunters
one moment downstream

round orb stone not cheese
flask of libations clear stream
howl trapped under glass

fluffed indignation
raspy voice calls incessant
millet overflows

Shades of dun and brown
Rippled withers soft to touch
Ears hear her soul smile

Soft petals falling
wind whips in dancing circles
pink turns red slowly

Cerulean blue
Ground ward plummets burnt orange wisps
Trails chariot’s wake

Day flees nights clutches
Frothing horses urged in chase
Golden gown too far

gentle tone above
fresh linen pressed and folded
thank you for dining

Love across the miles
tired wings soar ever closer
warm embrace strong arms

inescapable
desire flows in circuits
clashing climaxes

White crowns on green fir
Air whispers of secrets kept
Soon rainbow will bloom

Purple faces bask
Legs spindly from winters rest
Warm waters tempting

Green explosion soars
Reaches outward in splendor
Dappled light shimmers

each night the dark comes
visions of you in my mind
love swooping in dreams

delicate frosting
cakes hang on gracious green stems
trumpets herald spring

water corrodes stone
worms till segmented farmers
pierced on metal hooks

rest elusive night
ever chasing cotton tails
smell of lanolin

shards cut bloody stripes
learn painful lessons in life
self inflicts worst wounds

shrill ringing of phone
angry voices fade open
black words on white page

patterns beyond sight
carbon trade for oxygen
color smiles intrigue

Notes fall from budded branches as pale orb shrouded by mists rises

the way of yoga
difficulty arises
passes through food court

a steady droning
swirling blades of grass on green
golfers shrieking FORE

cracking of thunder
air vibrates with singing pipes
Harley rumbles by

waves cascading down
molecules dance in droplets
dark pines touch heaven

scents of solar winds
washed hues of primary tints
friendship black or white

needles make me faint
blood is drawn and I turn pale
not a good vampire

wake tired and sore
restless dreams burn precious fuel
I need a tune-up

one body wraps all
when six souls live within you
energy flows strong

breathe photons of light
consuming stored calories
beep of microwave

antiques show treasure
in glossed patina catch glimpse
pale dress floats in wood

the color yellow
an optical illusion
black is the true sun

my world keeps shrinking
outside the trees are blooming
inside my heart mourns

Thirteen moons have passed
Flowers wake feeling the warmth
Do they hear the clock

eroding sand falls
winter rain stirs fertile soil
stone gives way to buds

static ripples touch
reflections on skin drawn tight
boundary between

jellyfish migrate
warm currents stranded in death
translucent stingers

pale dusting of frost
eroding storm curling froth
bright shells dredged from deeps
