• ode to my mom

    you gave me life
    blossom in winter
    getting thinner
    lovely cuddly
    continual dawn of day
    in the sunset
    of her youth
    she speak her truth
    miraculous
    immaculate spoof
    the ever changing wind
    bring
    rain to wet the chute
    to the root
    the winter welcome
    her brilliance
    astute her pursuit is neat
    warm hands warm feet
    an olive branch extend
    the dove so much my friend
    attentive mild mend
    any hurt i wallow
    she fill my heart
    like a walk in the park
    shades of gray tint
    light to dark
    she means so much
    everything to me
    no need to search
    for my significant other
    tho lonely like a stone
    i have
    my beautiful
    significant mother
    she welcome
    without exception
    me back home
    so much self expression
    she is
    the quintessential conceptual
    artist
    in reflection
    mirror the images in her mind
    paint the rain as wine
    to master and to find
    design that bind
    a rite
    that write the rhyme
    grace the space
    perceive the weave
    conceive
    between the lines.

  • sea kelp crawl

    faint color stone
    driftwood barnacle old fish bone
    rural exposure elegant rose
    months after June bloom
    blue-moon deepest hue
    streak sunset scrim
    empty, age rage fit
    soft words echo whisper
    seminary vespers
    wind unmask leaves
    whistle scurry through eaves
    sun break through great cracked trees

    twist lime gin & tonic
    fly to find a sky of rain exotic
    your cobalt eyes illumine the bezeled mirror
    look at me I miss you so in winter

    craggy white paint
    along the creviced coastline
    wolf hound howl at the moon shadow
    shade gray dune
    in the foamy lonely afternoon

    brave ovation bare breeze
    whip the wicker wind-chime
    summer soak thunder cold
    tide brawl over sea kelp crawl
    rip up roots
    nature spill danger
    into tiny bubbles
    clam suck shallow puddle
    stream damp sand

    seagull dance wave
    surge beauty brave
    balmy bay
    daylight dim
    lantern lit
    golden tint.
