poem of the day June 30 

Thick heavy

cold moist dew

blanket covers

fresh mowed

meadow grass

Birds jump around

trying to warm 

chilled tiny feet

eagerly waiting for 

warm strong sun

 poem of the day June 29 

Very naked dogs

dating well dressed cats

went to the ballet 

starring dancing rats

The rats were playing

the parts of hungry mice

requiring the rats 

to eat special river rice 

It should have been

a lovely grand affair 

One talked about

from everywhere

But then the cats

all noticed the rats

were not wearing

proper eating hats

This of course

enraged the well dressed cats

who began to chase the hatless rats

This put everyone including me 

into a confusionary fog

knowing the well dressed cats 

were dating very naked dogs

 poem of the day June 28

No sense

in feeling bad

about it

It is just

a roadkill fact

Some chipmunks

make it across

the road

Some chipmunks don't

It's as simple as that

 poem of the day June 27 

Circles

of stillness

slowly calm

a busy mind

revolving around

oceans of thought

Waves of dusky light

move toward night

Each spiral gently 

dissolving the day

allowing the drift

into peaceful sleep

 Poem of the day June 26

A narcissistic sun

watching

its own sunrise

was so engrossed

with  self glorification 

It did not noticed

the earth had 

clouded over

so as to not 

have to feel the hot air

 poem of the day June 25 

Time changes

all landscapes

inside outside

Unwanted plantings arrive

on wings of windy birds

flying near flightness men

Invasives sneak silently

into pristine gardens

hiding in plain site

Where if not weeded

eventually overtake soiled minds

with overgrown patches of cartoon thoughts 

sometimes too big to overcome

 poem of the day June 24 

Still and hot

Few birds about

Sun baking a poor potted plant

in danger of dying

I catch its desperation

and bring it water

We both take a sip

Joined together

feeling a slight breeze

coming from

slow motion 

swaying leaves

fanning the trunks of 

all of us trees

 poem of the day June 23 

I wonder

if a fox

has ever

worn a pair

of foxglove slippers

while hunting rodents 

within the rhododendron?

 poem of the day June 22 bombs of war

bombs of war

rain over peace

foreign & domestic

madmen in charge

world be careful 

things happen in 3s

 poem of the day June 21

Looking into

the eyes of

antique photographs 

trying to see 

into the lives

of long dead

Some eyes guarded

Some eyes open

I try to look deeper

into the mysterious

iris like flowers

to understand 

that brief snapshot

frozen in time

of a human soul

 poem of the day June 20 

Watching

the wind

through

tree leaves

Trying to divine

the future

A wave up

A wave down

Seeing the invisible

signs appear

as it glides

over all things coming

 poem of the day June 19 

Where do

we all sit on

the spectrum?

The inner outer light 

found within all kinds 

of solar systems

Are we 

Smart monkeys

Dumb AI?

Does it matter

as long as

what I eat

what you eat

doesn't make 

each other madder

 poem of the day June 18 

The collection

at the abyss

of a mind is

the place where

everything settles 

into memories

that bubble

up from the well

Where the weight

of life sits 

either as

an anchor

or an albatross 

 poem of the day June 17 

Everything

was moving 

so quickly

Extra precise

timing and agility 

were needed

to survive

the insanity

Even Jack B Nimble 

was having

a hard time

jumping over

the ever moving

candle dick

 poem of the day June 16

Sunrise

The combination

of light & life

can be seen each morning

in the  eyes of an I

But what  each I sees

will depend on 

the whether conditions

of sun and soul

 poem of the day June 15 

A great

hopeful sign

of the times

is when a shy

army of introverts

are driven out

of their lives

to protest

a cruel want-to-be king

trying to unravel

American democracy

 poem of the day June 14 

Day and Night

juggle along

the road of abstraction

Looking for ways

to steady the ship

in a world wobbling

on its fragile axis

Somewhere between

light and dark

 poem of the day June 13 

the boat

carrying

the constitution

capsized

on dry land

leaving those

not loyal enough

stunned by

the amount

of great white sharks

swimming about

eager to eat

the life out of

all who protest injustice

 poem of the day June 12 

The very

interesting 

all inclusive 

happy sport

of dream flying

was sweeping

across all divides

A sport

Where it does

not matter

if one is

male or female

black or white

big or small

sick or well

All that matters

is a desire

to be free

of the prejudices

of humanity

A place to fly 

where all are we

 poem of the day June 11

Fire & Water

long time opposites

have mixed together

Temporarily putting

long held differences aside

In fact I can now report

Sun and Rain are

spending vast quantities 

of quality time

joined as friends

instead of enemies

Both of them doing theirs parts

to help summer gardens grow

 poem of the day June 10

The merging

of reality

with fantasy

has permeated 

way beyond

self absorbed delusion

has morphed into

a comic book

full of cartoon characters

playing a dangerous video game

that somehow has

gone viral and threatens

life as we know it

soon all minds

will be owned 

controlled by machines 

of our own making

 poem of the day June 8 

Each day

We are slipping 

back into

the dark past of 

ugly humanity

with utter lack

of understanding

of the future

or anything 

except the greed

of personal gain

This new hatred

is the mark

of a failed nation

Accepting the will

of a mad man

with low morality

and high cruelty

should be unacceptable 

even to those who

were duped or scared 

into being

true believers

Wake up America

before it is too late

for history 

not to repeat itself

 poem of the day June 8 

bluebirds

of fortune

fly into 

apple trees

looking for

ways to press

the moment

 poem of the day June 7 

Damp 

aftermath

of wet

Pea soup

clings over

pushed down

meadow grass

Thick cloudy

floating leaves

hover in silence

Birds swim past

like sailboats

after a storm

All are waiting 

for more rain

 poem of the day June 6

Omniscient stillness

Dawn takes root

in mind & matter

Slow motion birds

drift over green oceans

under canopies 

of big sleeping trees

Morning light slowly seeps 

overcoming night shadows 

Even the sound

of a buzzing house fly

has been muted

by hallowed ground

 poem of the day June 5

Who wants

to be a bubble

in a bubble grove

Where big beautiful

bubbles grow out

of magic wands 

held effortlessly

by those willing

to be as free as

flying balloons

navigating the air of life 

 poem of the day June 4 

so many

earthworms

feasting on cow shit

Adam & Eve had

placed on virgin plants

growing in the garden of eden

were having a grand time

enjoying the innocence of life

until the early birds came

and ate them all

 poem of the day June 3 

The inner door

The gate placed

to separate

mask from soul

We all have one

Some have doors 

mostly open

Some have doors 

mostly closed

When you look

at your eyes

in the mirror

Do you see

who you are?

Or what you 

pretend to be?

 poem of the day June 2 

I wonder

if eye witnesses

all watching

the magic of

the same sunrise

see the light

in the same way?

 poem of the day June 1

what if it

was not 

light at

the end 

of tunnel

but was dark

would you 

still be able 

to see 

your way

into a new life?
