For whom are the trees, mountain falls and oceans making oxygen: Creation shaped all of life, but underscores breathing into humanity The primordial breath of the cosmic genome, extending its progeny. Humanity is at once gift, giver and given of the terrestrial kingdom. It is collective gardener tending with expectation, what is to come, ItContinue reading “Humanity – A Poem”

Garlicaromatherapy – A Poem
Wouldn’t it be lovely if one neighbor Squashed, a plethora, or what appears Nose-wise, as six tons of garlic cloves, From an open apartment hall alcove, Broadcasting molecular gastronomy; Relinquishing its vivid aromatherapy, To nasal stations in an entire zipcode, Like scented telegraphs of Morse code. While spicy Allium and her twin Aroma Frolic, spreadingContinue reading “Garlicaromatherapy – A Poem”
Pineapple Rain – A Poem
Shade trees hover sheltering nature’s baked goods, Baby blue skies console with cotton candy clouds. While thunder teases, waiting for the y-east to rise, Occasionally checking his script for a cool reprise. Enter stage left rain bustles, her lines unrehearsed. Unprepared, the Sun blinks into the kabatic breeze – Quickly cupping her fingers through wetlandContinue reading “Pineapple Rain – A Poem”
Call and Response – A Poem
Sunset calls, the horizon responds with an amber umbrella, Twilight calls, night improvises psalms in dark hues Selah! Sunrise calls, Dawn choreographs virtual duwap a-Capella, Birds call, reproducing their feather lines again and again. Rhythm and blues, choir pews, seasons’ refrained creation, Chorused melody in the Sahara songs of marsh hinterland, Resounding in Scripture, AkashicContinue reading “Call and Response – A Poem”
Wind Instruments – A Poem*
Summer’s glow bakes ink off t-shirts Its waves swaying drapery tassels, as Potted plants wilt into plucked roses. Some deploy target fans of paper lace While others mop handkerchief faces.

Sandy Hourglass – A Poem
Moment’s aperture The glass of metered intention Sandy hourglass of the fourth dimension Time is it’s own starter, bejeweled sweeper Stopwatch hands and checkered flag waver. Galaxy historian to cosmic stars The immortal gatekeeper, The wisdom and witness of Eden. Tides and the seasons plan in its garden Galaxies are oblivious to it; it doesContinue reading “Sandy Hourglass – A Poem”
La Noche – A Poem
Iridescent twilight strides like a wooing peacock’s train, Confidently hovering over la noche’s blue celestial terrain. Twilight coaxes Sunset to extend her golden slipper tour, For the sake of adoring hearts uplifted by her gilded star. Car horns fitted in halogen coats and rubber pumps, crow. Denizens from the city night buses glow under streetlight,Continue reading “La Noche – A Poem”

Directed rivers, collected rain water, monsoon Yoda weva, Surprising Gaia with new infant bodies of water to admire, As she stitches blankets to dress their waves in embroider. Cisterns sourced from wells channeled to hillside podiums, IrrigatedContinue reading “Lake Mead – A Poem”
