she - fall...


She – fall-
          ing with
                   a tree…
                             yellow…
                                      maple…
leave after  leave,
the fantasy
of free
chains changing
to field;
recollection begins,
when between eyes
of two alike days
the lightning glimpse
with sunny rain,
or first frost at
                                        crispy track
alters/creates
a new pattern,
the mark
of new facet.

Its music reminds
the ancient revels’ flow,
the prophecy/foliage
at the earth altar 
autumn will throw.

...a little taller

Harvest Moon above the Chicago Harbor Light ~ Carpe Diem Haiku Kai


Intrigues
Multiplied like summer flies
Blotches at the moon

The path untraveled
Outside the Earth orbit
Lighthouse dream

Carving soul

d'Verse Poetic ~ Carved in stone


I’ve sensed your soul
in the depth of the
century

Promoted the den(s) city
to family falling
rocks, mountains

Shoulders, spine bent
long ears – open
to farewell

Crushed
in the grinder
of age

A m a z e… we found
unconsciously follow
in the spiral
of carving…

Synesthesia

Pablo Picasso. Music painting

“Why do two colors,
Put one next to the other
Sing?...”
P. Picasso


                        1.
I speeding up every time
Nearby the Hwy 169
A coffee shop.

                   2.
I swiftly sink
In the flowerbed
Such a fresh aroma.

                   3.
His eyes caught the smell
The particles of burnt out maple leaves
Landed on the asphalt.

                   4.
I saw your breath
Sahara warmth
My shoulders loose.

                   5.
Radiant aura
Around treetop on the hill
When she spoke.

                   6.
Heavy steps on the stairs
In her heart chamber
Still knight approaching.

Edges


You said: we must cut
the sharp edges
to smooth the life of
the risk and trial
(in your near-sight-
edness)…

Instead we got double
efforts, and querying:
how to overcome
underwater rocks
and craters, escape
the pokes of
wicked spindle…

you said: now,
in no time,
we can afford
the lethargic sleep
for (another?) 100 years…

Vacillate no more!

George Tooker, self-portrait


fantasy


My place, where I live now, is in the ravine.
Any wondering anemic katydid delays the leap, when sense the twitching placenta over it….

Once inexplicable melancholy took hold on me. I found in a stash the written mantra. It assisted me in the transformation…

The shell – an artifact, belong now to the museum of human limitations.

Metamorphosis
Human intervention
Shell limits.

To ride or not to ride...

photography-on-the-net


Wasn't it odd?
tracing the patterns,
curves
through vicinity -
pond erring
shorebirds
on the mudflats,-
we pandered
our whimsy.

Wandered on dunes,
between the cabins,
the distance -
illusion,
natural wonders
behind
the thin wall
of a reason...
