turn volume down – pop!
fake flowers from grid landscape
fireworks screen saver
let there be music!

listen!
planets spinning,
moons’ revolving,
hear the stars sing!
atoms whirling,
cells alive swirling,
let seasons ring!
redwood voices tall,
wild flowing waterfall,
join nature’s newsong!
livestock ruminate,
humans communicate,
each hums their own
unique lifesong!
all corners of cosmos,
given the chance,
will loudly praise him
as lord of the dance.
listen to the music!

sunshine takes a hike
to mountaintop meadow of
fragrant wildflowers;
highlights lofty evergreens,
ancient monarchs reign from cliff.

the blood moon
is a woman;
she bleeds her
monthly tide
as proof of
her fertility;
she labors
through phases
add nausea-um
waxes gibbous
and convulses
with hot birth.
her heart aches
behind the
dark side of
loneliness;
a face that
no one sees.
her secret
sorrow is the
knowledge that
she’s only the
reflecting mirror
of manly sun’s glory.

Linking to: D’verse Poets Modern Mythologies
My sons carved these pumpkins, which they dubbed
“Titan the Spartan” and “Halwarg, the Great Wolf”
(a triolet)
A Spartan helmet’s bravely plumed and always sharp his blade;
his courage in the face of death lives on in legends bold.
To track and kill a savage wolf would prove the man is made!
A Spartan helmet’s bravely plumed and always sharp his blade.
Thermopylae, where Persian wolves prevailed on Greeks betrayed;
in mountain pass spilled Spartan blood, war’s wind was howling cold.
A Spartan helmet’s bravely plumed and always sharp his blade,
his courage in the face of death lives on in legends bold!

haul bounty indoors
latent fragrance of blossoms
smell appley essence
