poem of the day May 31


lilac breath

permeates purple

opening on a farm

The scent of amazing 

reaches over everything

in a nirvana of flower haze

excuse me while I kiss the sky

poem of the day May 30


I watched the wave

of maple leaves

in windy early morn

Green surround

up and down

happy in the dawn

A simple branch

with simple thoughts

bend like all the rest

I can see this humble tree

as sun alights its breath

poem of the day May 29

A homemade

beaver pond

A vernal stream

growing into wetlands

Imagination becomes

a type of  helpful reality

found only in logs of mud

allowing tadpoles to dream of frog days

poem of the day May 28


WHO is watching

the human kingdom

as  wild herds 

begin to stampede

out of their corrals 

with no thought

of anything but

following the delusion

of the unmasked pied piper

poem of the day May 27


Thaw the frozen

Freeze the thaw

Rhyme poem with 

right and wrong

love and hate

war and peace

Till the middle 

line is reached

poem of the day May 26


walking worlds

alone together

a divided nation

forging a path

through a mad made wilderness

steep big wall between ideas

planks on the boardwalk

not enough nails to drive

into the wood of compromise

poem of the day May 25



Somewhere in the mind

is a place full of strange time

where random events jump 

in seemingly senseless patterns

from realms to realms 

sometimes hard to fathom

How these hours fit together

from scene to scene

is just a night of crazy dreams

poem of the day May 23


The birds are loud

making it hard to hear

gentle soft rain

Sounds covering sounds

Only a few faint drum drips

on an old tin roof escape 

poem of the day May 24


The feeling

of peace

floats upon

an endless sea

as eyes within

the simple raft

dart the stones

thrown from angry  shores

and let them fall

to depths below

where peaceful current

can not live or go

poem of the day May 22


Last night I dreamed about

a new line of

ultra steamy swimwear

called the trikini?

A super revealing

three piece with

a sexy bottom

a sexy top

and a very sexy mask

Which I am sure will make for

some super hot social distancing

I wonder if the trikini will hit

the fashion market in time for 

the summer beach season?

poem of the day May 21


A vast study

is happening

somewhere

deep within

To find the results

contact your 

inner soul

It lives in

the house

called home

poem of the day May 20

Yum, they were serving

fried sun for dinner

The black hole was

very excited and hungry 

about to devour part

of the Milky Way

The giant red giant 

fought so valiantly 

with a belly fire full

of extreme explosion

but was not able to

overcome the unrelenting

gravity of the situation

poem of the day May 19


pretending to have powers

to see truth as delusion

takes a lifetime to perfect

the confusion of mass illusion

poem of the day May 18


Had there been more hopeful dreams

in the darkest part of a black night

perhaps the void of uncertainty

would have disappeared into

a fairly good ending fairy-tail 

far away from the fears of corona

which I wish was still just a beer with a twist of lime

poem of the day May 17


Expanding into

vast silence

A morning breath

settles like stillness

Covering yesterday

with a film of fresh time

poem of the day May 16



Light on yellow green leaves

as the sun pours into view

Bright clean morning after rain

Gentle wind very quiet and peaceful

I see the best of morning along with the birds

poem of the day May 15


 Another week
 where it snowed
 frosted and was cold
 Until yesterday
 which was really nice.
 Flowers are everywhere
 Welcome to Mid-time of May

poem of the day May 14


Everybody is a special temple

with an inner soul full of precious jewels

just waiting for the shine of  perfection

Though some red slippers need more clicking then others

we all have the power to enlighten our inner castle

The trick is allowing the eternal light to sparkle deep within

poem of the day May 13


Are rocks different

then souls of stones?

Boulders and pebbles

surround all the homes

From patio to path

From wall to foundation

I believe the difference is just

a human invention  

poem of the day May 12


A good cup of tea

sipped very hot 

in the early cold morning is

a ritual worth repeating

I heard one Robin say

as they all waited for the worms

poem of the day May 11


Kind long life

of old Sage Tree

growing next to 

ancient stone wall

overlooking clear meadow

"Who moved a million rocks?"

I shouted to Sage Tree 

Sage Tree by stone wall

waves in the wind

but does not answer me

"Oh please, please tell old tree"

poem of the day May 10


Summer birds singing

in a May snow

Singing about water

and why must it flow

With specks of white

on day dawn so cold

causing all of the worms

to stay deep in their holes 

poem of the day May 9


The big trees

have new leaves

The buds broke

somewhere in

the last few days

in the warm sun 

Made me dream

that the leaves were

waves of friends

with open arms 

blooming new life

into the trunk of

an unsettled humanity

poem of the day May 8



The art of forgotten time

A rusty car in the woods

full of early 1930 deco lines 

has merged with the flora

of growing weed like vines 

Working their way in a living creation

to the tip of an old chrome pitted falcon

that sit on the hood still proud and waiting

poem of the day May 7


Each day 

a new light

illuminates

an old painting

for a few minutes 

in the early morning

bringing the canvas to life

with tangible qualities the artist

keeps hidden unless you are up

when the sun rises over the landscape 

poem of the day May 6


The vision of

a visionary

who was born

of Virgin Mary

did not live

to see his dream

the shining light 

pure great love beam

poem of the day May 5


When old

becomes new

Where wet 

becomes dry

we sit like frogs 

catching grandmother's flies

on a floating log 

from a tree long ago

there is so much comfort 

in the new old we know

poem of the day May 4


Stillness

to be

without

inner

outer

clutter

is as

fleeting

as dawn

before

sunrise

poem of the day May 3


Everybody is on

a-walk-a-bout now

in the new wilderness

of  personal space

No long intimate touches

just a cave of sprouted words

both tender and raw

full of poignant emotions

It is a challenging  quest

like climbing Mt Everest

Only these distant mountains 

are surrounded by pools 

of tiny shark filled fear

Very difficult  to overcome

Very lonely to explore without

some light of self love

poem of the day May 2


Peaches

with buds

big eyed

full of surprise

just like love 

warmed sun

after a few

tears of  

cold rain

poem of the day May 1


Time never

can be replayed

just like a question

without an answer

Sometimes though

time escapes the trap

to sit on a fancy fence

somewhere in the middle 

of the yellow brick road
