Warmth in an earthen teacup; apple essence with sass, Made even better with cookies in iced sprinkles for hats, Stirred up with moving bark eulogies of cinnamon spice. Gala those stemmed lollipops born of golden deliciousness, Make mackintosh blush at wild granny smith’s sauciness. Fragrant bushels of apples in Gaia’s confectioner’s press, Simmered into theContinue reading “Hot Apple Cider – A Poem”

Colors – A Poem
Colors that startle Colors that dazzle Colors to accessorize Colors that harmonize. Beyond ultraviolet most cannot see Of what then is the color of visibility; Of what hue the mind’s invisibility Of what transparency insight Of what spectrum thought.
Migration – A Poem
The four winds tickling the sky at the equatorial tropics Whisk wind socks like swizzle sticks stirring polar artics, Wrapsickling the northern sphere in autumn semantics. Sensing in their DNA the call of the bones of their ancestry, Migratory birds glide in the updrafts of inherited history, Leaving the unbound Phoenix of their future; their chicksContinue reading “Migration – A Poem”
Maple Leaves – A Poem
Singing morning songs of deciduous tree ether, Maple leaves in crimson saris sprinkle fall sugar, Their rosy scarves twirl like red fidget spinners Furling to terra firma in tender magenta flutters; Waving crimson flags of affection into the solar.
Sap – A Poem
“Ooze my sap and roll morsels in cinnamon sugar Rather than tilt my handle in mangrove timber. Drip my thoughts one by one in tapped amber, Making famous fudge in savory milk and butter, And, remember to drool my magnificence over Pancake batter -“ Said, the bucket to the sugar maple tree it admires.
Ten Curtains – A Poem
Ten curtains of inter-twined linen knit Flax into fabric veils of purple and white. Washed in the cold cycles of discomfort, Dried unto loving kindness’ relaxing fit, Flax’s spear-like shape, longevity’s needle, Embroidering its blooms that last a day; Onto eternity’s robes as timeless sachets.
Home Delivery – A Poem
Four a.m when early morning is still in house slippers, And Dawn readies her diamond dew drop sparklers. Large flashing lights glow like incandescent sunrise, Flooding windows and patios in disco ball surprise. A chorus of patio doors unsheathe in musical ensemble As onlookers creep from sleep to witness the spectacle. An entire pre-fab houseContinue reading “Home Delivery – A Poem”
Journeys – A Poem
Some journeys lead us to our selves: Packing Samsonite in nostalgia, Stamping passport memorabilia, Staycation’s globetrotting avatar Plans trips, in invisible ink, where: The Matterhorn chairlifts Whistler, Hilting Excalibur in Snowdonia, Seating sofa safaris to Luangwa Stirring spicy crawfish jambalaya, Mining sapphire in big sky Montana Fly-fishing souvenirs to Vancouver. Imagination’s vision quest walker Globes theContinue reading “Journeys – A Poem”
Stones to the Sea II – A Poem
Stones to the Sea (part 1) – Link here Seahorses of Troy hide in ocean foam cover, Painting white the lighthouse of Alexandria, Erecting it as beacon lingua of Babel’s tower. Nag Hammadi papyrus shovels uncover the Ark, Molding rainbow colored sandcastles to Ararat. Currents floating in Cedars of Lebanon jetsam, Scaffold Colossus into RomulusContinue reading “Stones to the Sea II – A Poem”
