Fanciful
in a rainbow
colorful and curvaceous
with no beginning or end
I ripple back and forth
leap dance and skip
about the skies,
sunbeams glimmer
and clouds retreat
my rainbow shines true
red, orange and yellow
and all the mixtures
of in between
covenant of faith in men-
have acid rains stopped
can rainbows grace our skies

Many Voices
romantics sing of justice
cynic cry it's only a tool
for rulers and designers
the tree of justice has many branches
grows and bloooms if watered by tolerance
in days of social drought is stunted
withers falling into decay
the lady in marble dressed in a toga
holding the scales of justice
is a harlot in disquise
prostrating herself
before each new ruler

miracle of genetics,
pooled by a heritage
fooled by the fables
seek revelation,
in knowledge of faith,
plagued by mortaity
live in a culture,
nurtred by nature
culled by fate
flying at windows of physics
hurting our wings
flirt with Sol's
Promethean gift
get stuck
in the pudding
of a cooling cosmos

Listless and Mundane
Waves of heat flow horizontally
Across the screened kitchen door
The twirling fan moves a plastc breeze
Of odors diluted and un fresh
Little comfort in this
The ceiling propeller makes noise
Planning to take off
Days pass slowly
In retirement
Having little control
As time ticks away
We worry
Suffer the banal
And wonder
Why we hurried

Music of Hope
rains of hope bring rainbows of peace
warm smiles, clear skies, twinklng stars,
sparkling laughter. school children
skipping home to play,
hope, whispering in my ear
blooms intio music of cheer,
come dance with me, the dance of peace
sing with me, the song of peace
come laugh with me, the laughter of peace,
the secrets of the land will bloom into peace
rippling whispers, twinkling stars
rainbows in the sky raining hopes,

A Smile is not Enough
a smile is not enough
to show, just how I feel,
express my inner thrill
of delight,
it must be more
to show that I adore
or have this fright
and desire to touch,
laughter is induced,
by some strange mixture
of thoughts and feelings,
once it is out
it is the most contagious of delights.
infects those near and far,
to reproduce
emits such lovely sound and more

All Fools day
Some say comes but once a year
a fun day of hoaxes and jokes on
friends neighbors, family
just plain folk, gobs, gooby, and noodles
When spring fever is upon
naive, innocents and unaware
Fools, beware of false scare
Scots go hunting for gwak amd
Chaucer's Chanticleer and fox
Fools are many the fooled even more
rumor and fabricated
greases the imagined
so easy for the medias to turn
Fools Day into every day,
seek to celebrate one day
no different than any

Poof
If you have never poofed a dandelion
Rubbed petals of roses
Sniffed peppermint leaves
Stepped in virgin snow
Nor heard the sigh of a dog
The hooting of an owl
The moaning of a cat
Cawing of a raven
Or nursed an ice cream cone
Swallowed jell-o
Eaten sushi and venison
Shouted just to hear the echo
Then you have never lived
Still young of heart
Bangeeing from a bridge
Sky diving, skiing

Histhorrified
history is wasted, crucified by quantity
electrocuted. individuality and identity
old wives' tales lost to posterity
eye, has witnessed change of scene
I scream from a poet's ironic tower
searching for attention, create another dimension
arty imagination, solopsistic view, nature gone awry
in the field of electronics, sailing upon the waves
history, come apace, looks me in the face
did you know in days of olde there were not as many
some were often crueler than history

Destiny of a Puritan
most emotions, are of a social nature,
nurtured from childhood. I am no different-
but I often pause to wonder, if i could
rid myself of some pride, wonder
is it true, i can not do a deed without-
the praise of another, must i have comment
to value what i have done, can I in secret
perform an act, sincere and sympathetric
without reward or judgment, seeking no acclaim
or caling it pride in what I do
divest myself of this kind of ego
without prize of heaven or punishment of hell
