Windy
Swooshing through my home
By way of open windows,
The raging, fierce breeze.
80 DEGREES in OCTOBER
Blossoms newly born
Birds in panic so confused
Autumn summertime
Musicale
The motion of trees
Dancing with the singing wind
Makes its own music
Bahavista
Peering at blossoms,
One finds dimensions untold.
Aahh, the world of small!
Candle
Flicker of flame’s light
Breeze-kissed in the flow’ring night
Gives hope a new name.
CEMETERY SUMMER
Green resplendent trees
Stand as sentinels guarding;
Man alone intrudes.
Interior Decorator
Blossoms for curtains
Outside my manmade window
Luring Nature in.
Menu
Sun precedes the day
Of rain expected later;
Mother Nature’s best!
Rainbow
Prisms of promise
Arched above my window view
Rain-painted colored
RAINY SUNDAY
Such a Poe-ish day
Does not belong to summer
Sunday in the park!
SECRETS
Breeze whisper-talking
To leaves trembling laughingly
Secrets of Nature.
TONAL
You cannot refute
The charm of a flute
Playing nicely with breezes
TRUE GRIT
Green leaves among gold
Defy designs of Autumn
Clinging to summer.
Wake Up Call
Magpies chattering
In throes of hysteria
Shatter morning calm.
Where’s Lunch?
The long sleek cobra,
Coiling, skinny, hungering
Tongue testing for food
Brew
Beans, brown, dark brown, ground,
Make mornings a brewed delight
Of Self, sight, smells, sound
Cemetery Autumn
Bright colors now gone
Sentinels stand in drab garb
And vigilant still
Distraction
Scent of the blossoms
Pulls me away from dire thoughts
Love’s magnet to Life
Grace
Your Taste is Divine
Dear Meat, You serve my purpose
Thanks for Your Giving
Guest
Talking picture box
Bringing worlds into my home
A television
LIFE JACKET
Soul drowning in tears
Desp'rately gasping for breath
Spirit rescues it
Mirrored
Nosy reflection
Doppelganger intimate
Tell me I’m pretty
Never Bored
Like frail butterflies
My thoughts flit from bloom to bloom
Life-pollen dusting
Nipped in the Bud
Artichoke delight
Consumed before your blooming
Will you grow within?
Sixty-three. Done.
Candles on my cake
Outshining Haley’s comet
Light the nighttime sky!
To Know
So much to still learn!
May I never cease searching
For Light in the Dark!
WAVERING
We pray to escape
The seductive mortal state
While fearing to leave
Why Did I Come In Here?
Like a fleet rabbit
Memory runs from recall
Teasing from afar.
WRITER’S BLOCK
Muse, sideways glancing,
Withdraws from informing me
And makes Life austere.
Aching
Mother Nature’s pain
Must be akin to my own
Which makes us grumpy!
After This
I shall not return
As Thing, Plant, or Animal,
But shine evermore!
APRIL'S BINGE
Raging, reeling wind
Let me sniff your reeking breath.
Aha! I smell snow!
Catastrophe
War mimics Nature
In power of destruction
For diff’rent reasons
Crying Angels
Melancholy souls
Shed not your tears of sorrow
On my happy day
Having Aged
Me in the sunset;
Older, shorter, feistier;
Grateful for offspring!
Hmmmmm
I think I have found
The One Self that I ponder
But still I wonder
HOME
Fall and fireflies reign
In memories of my home
That place of first life
IF I COULD
With my fingertip
I’d trace a new direction
For errant mortals
In Closing
Regrets, I’ve a few.
I do not beg forgiveness;
That I leave to you.
Judith Evelyn
Daughter, rarest gem,
Mitochondrial legend
Life-substance giving
LEISURE
Body settles down
To gravity surrendered
Life becomes serene
Nightmare
There in my dreaming
The fright overtakes my soul.
I gasp, wake; alive!
Rewrite
Lurking in the wings
The days I’ve yet to welcome
While I change the script
COLD YUMMY
White crunchy fat snow
Cake frosting layered on thick
Transforms the landscape
Eternal
Bodies all must die
But spirits live forever
In Raptures Sublime
High Country
Hard-edged are the folks
Who run the high chaparral
In strong, free spirit
HURRICANE
God heaves a great storm
With sorrow and shame imbued.
We give it a name.
Nocturne
What great adventures
Courageous Souls encounter
While sleep-traveling!
Pay Attention
Angels on shoulders
Competing, oft, tirelessly
For our attention
Populace
Beings fill the Earth
Some standing out from the herd
But most still zombies
PRAY ERS
The gods like us more
When we’re needy and woeful
And we talk to them
PYRA
Old dreams die hardest
With roots that suck your lifeblood
Requiring great heat
REVELATION
Firecracker popping
Brain cells exploded blasting
Words on printed page
REWARD
Faith grows from small grain
To seedling of promise which
Bursts forth with rich fruit
TSK, TSK
Man too oft displays
Bewildering behavior
Which makes the gods gasp!
Worldly
Careless Lemming-man
Why rush to your destruction
Forsaking the prize?
Cabin Fever
Please send some springtime
I’m so weary of dreary
My eyes are gone pale!
Creator
Worlds are in my words
Lived in by all who read them
And give them credence
CROW HUMOR
Loud raucous laughter
From rowdy crows overhead
I missed the punch line
EARLY BIRD
Robin in the rain
You need a winter muffler
As drops become flakes
FAMILIARITY
Your words that I read
Are spoken with my own voice
Ringing through my soul
NOT SPRING YET
Clouds mask the bright sun
Not in Mardi Gras fashion
But making life dark
Pale Orb Rising
Man face on the moon
Peering at our silly lives
Do we make you smile?
Say What ?!
Truth is not much fun
Integrity is boring
Lies are justified
Say Who?!
I’m more than you see;
Daughter of the Almighty
And son of Jacob
Spread the Word
Worlds are in my words
Lived in by all who read them
Sanctioned by their souls
String Section
Bow-legged fashion
crickets stroke their violins
in Night's dark corners
SUGAR COATED
Angels put the clouds
Through giant cosmic sifters
Sugar-snowing earth
WELCOME
Enjoy the cool breeze
Sensing the essence of warmth
When Spring comes back home
Up and Away
Crazy old woman
Blowing bubbles in the rain
Where does your mind go?
TONAL
You cannot refute
The charm of a flute
Playing nicely with breezes
