poem of the day March 31 

It was

a grand gobbling

turkey time

A fine feathered

jamboree 

The Toms were

all flexing 

their beards 

feathers spread

strutting their stuff

The Hens were

all flocked up

milling around 

like virgin

potato ladies

judging farmboys

i could tell as 

I was driving by 

it would soon 

become quite a lively affair

 poem of the day March 30

Wondering

about 

magic carpets

Where I can

find one 

Wondering

like how

would I know

if I had one?

Be a bummer to have one

and not know it

Wondering 

how fast

how high

they can fly

Wondering

how much fun

it would be

to ride one?

 poem of the day March 29 

if you had

a rubber band

that would 

stretch out over

an entire land

how could you 

trust it to 

an amoral man

who only cares

about hair and tan?

 poem of the day March 28 

Does the candle

light  the way

or does the candle

light you?

Is it better to 

shine a light

into the shadows

or from the shadows?

All these thoughts

were  going through

the soul of the sun

as it rose over

the darkness into

every possible 

nook and cranny

 poem of the day March 27 

As I expected

after seeing

the deer herd

I am afraid 

the situation

is getting worse

I am sure

the deer have

paid off the dogs

who just sit there

and let them roam

close to the farmhouse

were the yummie

flowers soon will be

I swear i even saw a buck

hand the dogs a chipmunk

 poem of the day March 26 

A vernal stream

has appeared

fueled by

melting snow

Energy changing

The old land 

once again guides

spring water as

winter drains into

the familiar

path of least resistance

 poem of the day March 25 

bad spring sign

especially for 

summer crops

A 10 deer herd

was lining both sides

gleefully standing around 

the bare earth of my garden

as if waiting for me

to plant their vegetables 

 poem of the day March 24 

And sometimes

those beats

were just down

the street

jiving in

some kind

of song

They were

twisting the roots 

off some fine

looking spruce

as the sun

rose over the morn

Their beautiful

dance was 

only by chance

Spontaneous 

as spontaneous

can be

All was gone

in a flash

run out of gas

Until Alice 

appeared with her tea

 poem of the day March 23 

the moment

was in such

a hurry

it did not

have anytime

to stop

for anything

not even for 

one tiny second

It was so annoying

 poem of the day March 22 I threaten you

I threaten you

You threaten me

a ping pong game

without diplomacy

Played by men

who just can't see

further than their vanity

 poem o the day March 21

Night dreams

over

Day dreams

begin

Consciousness

guards

change

within

But I have kept 

a couple

of dreams 

that

overlap

I wonder what

day & night

will think of that?

 poem of the day March 20 

Patches

of earth

emerge daily

Snow retreats

effortlessly 

Rings around

big trees grow

in perfect circles

The meadow

looks like

a chessboard

All are waiting for 

the sun to rise 

with the first

move of spring

 poem of the day March 19 

The reason

why peace

love & happiness

are so elusive

So rare to achieve

is  their acceptance

of everybody's everything

making it nearly impossible to

match the popularity of

selfish ignorant grievance

which thrives by nonacceptance 

Where division is cultivated daily

to express the overwhelming emotions

required to fuel the anger needed for 

war hate & unhappiness

 poem of the day March 18 

It was a very 

black & white

question no one 

had asked before

If a lighthouse

lights the way

to avoid danger

to avoid the bad

Does a darkhouse

black the way

to avoid safety

to avoid the good?

 poem of the day March 17 

The tippy tops

of old feral spruce

Wild Christmas trees

are jiving overtime

in a March wind

Free dancing

a grand  boogie woogie

as they wait

for sunrise

 poem o the day March 16

Sometimes

it just 

makes

sense

when in

a hurry

to travel

in a green 

submarine

instead of

a yellow one

Cause as 

the captain says

Green is go

full speed ahead

 poem of the day March 15 

thinking about

all those rainbows

that appear for

no reason from

somewhere behind 

the misty veil of

sunny raindrops 

to bloom into

a magic light show

where colors arch

out over the Earth

like imagination

becoming reality

 poem of the day March 14 

In delusion

the illusion

is always

a perfect

reflection

of  a shallow mirror 

playing the perfection game

Only the inconvenient truth

sees deep into the soup

the imperfection

within perfection framed

 poem of the day March 13 

In a day

full of 

sunshine 

promise

A hawk

circled around

owning the sky

I don't think

I saw its wings

flap even once

 poem of the day March 12 

I am here to report

the outer space station

has successfully docked 

up to the giant black hole thing store

All the well dressed brave astronauts

have disembarked 

armed with space age shopping bags

and have entered the hole of extreme temptation

As a nation we wish them the best of luck

knowing the risks they face of being

trapped like most others before them

into a one way journey

full of things found in

the black hole store of desire 

 poem of the day March 11 

War is good

for predatory business

for extreme market swings

Where the art of trading lives

for big globs of blood money

has become for the most powerful

a well dressed obsesion 

fueled by using greasy grimy gopher guts

of inside information

full of souls of mutilated monkey meat

All while greedily wearing 

the insincere fake white hat of disrespectful

disingenuous self serving compassion

 poem of the day March 10 

Sun seems

determined 

Snow melts early

Morning light

shines strong

on packed ice

Bringing  tears

to a long winter's face

 poem of the day March 9 

sugar bubbles

golden tan

fire hot like

summer sand

amber color

burning wood

maple syrup

tastes so good

 poem of the day March 

melting snow

mixing dirt

making mud

the road a mess

a river of quicksand

on a  big dog's chest

Ho Ho Ho such

a puddle of fun

 a poem of the day March 7 

Long old abandoned

but still with a view

humbled on the road

with an invisible hue

Big trees lined up

very side by side

in the evening air

of the countryside

The old place is now

a new restaurant

that has somehow

landed in the hills

of Charlemont

It made me think of

other fallen places passed

that find some way

to be reborn and recast

 poem of the day March 6 

Seems like

disinformation

is easy

to find 

just about

everywhere

No more whispers 

hiding in the shadows

Disinformation

has gone mainstream

Everything is out

in the open 

and coming 

directly from

the very top 

Where it is 

being sold 

as truth

 poem of the day March 5 

These were just

country squirrels 

not Buddhist squirrels 

I watched them

ballroom dancing

on a lovely rock 

sticking out

of the snow

I was going to join them

in a late winter dance

but before I could

the lovely pair had scurried away

 poem of the day March 4 

Some 

sunrises

seem 

to be 

more

lightful 

insightful

delightful 

More open

to embracing

the desires 

The needs

of a messy morning

than working on perfecting

their own ancient art of rising

 poem of the day March 3

When down

in the deep body

diving toward genesis

Somewhere in

the primordial 

space that exists

between atoms

That deep space

where light is DNA

All unvarnished souls

sing fine songs

with an universal ring

Songs able to include 

the possibilities of everything 

 poem of the day March 2 

Blood Moon

Fire Horse

do unite

The harmonic

very rare 

coincidence 

Convergence 

of a blood

red moon

Known

throughout 

the world

as an omen

of  evil

Will tonight

light the way

providing an inferno

for the unstable fire horse 

to carry as it gallops into 

an apocalypse of insanity 

 poem of the day March 1 

A sweet

innocent 

cozy light 

slowly

appeared

at dawn

soft and nimble 

Allowing pines

to sway

back and forth

as if charmed by 

the moment

I watched 

in tune with

all of them

looking for

a rabbit 

to welcome

the first of March
