Disney Flights

Disney Flights A straight vertical takeoff first Then high above the trees I will swoop down over the hills and valleys And backflip again And come down right side up To go back up over the treetops And take a quick view of the topography Instead of stressing and worrying I will fly and rest and...

Flying Shadow

Flying Shadow A several storied wall of green hanging vines A moving, flying shadow of a mysterious bird passes over The bird cannot be seen Only it's flying shadow But I know It must exist as a tangible Entity beyond the umbrella. Sign in to see full entry.

Laying for an Hour in the Sunshine

Laying for an Hour in the Sunshine When life is rough Stewing over it can be the worst Finding a good pool to cool off in And splash about in Can clear the head again Laying for an hour in the sunshine Where the cicadas chirp And the birds and dragonflies fly Can restore rhythm and rhyme.

Covered In Kudzu

Covered in Kudzu Trees covered in kudzu take on a different appearance They are obstucted by the vines that wrap around and hang on them It can be a charming effect, But potentially devastating for the trees If the sun cannot reach them And they are never seen A life covered in kudzu Can have the...

A Sunlit Morning At the Pool

A Sunlit Morning At The Pool A sunlit morning at the pool Can lighten any day However dark or sinister Especially if there is wind or breeze To blow by In the aqua water For an underwater dip and splashes on the surface Still cooler than the hot air And refreshing Sittting under the big umbrella...

Lemons

Lemons Lemons, rolling, falling, crashing all around Rolling over me Bruising me Keeping me down More and more lemons Falling, hurling at me Always lemons Falling out of the sky Who says lemons don't grow on trees I fall on my rear rolling my feet over them Can't get up without smashing a few Lemon...

Mystery River Walk

Mystery River Walk In the twilight of the early evening, Walking by the rising river Down a lane lined by verdant tall trees on one side Fully bloomed in green And graced by the flowing river on the other side Swirling and sparkling silver and green Graced by a cool breeze Life was pleasant for a...

River of Glass

River of Glass Walking down the river side walk That has been opened after it flooded The heat sending the water down off the walkway, Now the juxtaposing, swirling currents Have become a shining river of glass, A condition I rarely see in this river Often, a fast-moving stream of several currents...

Camo River

Camo River A new river yet Today Camouflage effect Light spots flowing along slowly towards the bend With dark spots Camo River, Accented by a few occasional rain drops There were all different configurations of the designs No set pattern Intriguing, On an overcast day That made the vertical,...

Double Forks

ΨDouble Forks Such an extravaganza of forked lightening appeared while driving On the way to my dwelling As I have ever seen In all my several years Late in a black sky after a light rain A huge white stem of bright white lightening Charges and appears as it Forks out into what looks like 4-6 double...
