Weary sentinel
Stands amid Autumn color
Regarding the north
Less with some trepidation
But with blue-gray steel resolve.

Month: October 2016
Unity
Upon sun-warmed stone
Wind and water meet as one
Before autumn’s flown
Dawn, at Pasture’s Edge
Dawn’s seductive mists
Caress the nose with odors
Redolent of fall
Awaiting December
That is it!
I’ve had enough!
I throw this paper
In disgust!
The only news that it contains
Is vile dreck that I disdain!
I’m hiding out
From folk with guns;
Just call me when
December comes?
Gossamer Wreathes
Behold these lost trees
Adrift on gossamer seas
Waiting for the slightest breeze
To free them from foggy wreathes
Attention Shoppers!
Giant man baby
Promises temper tantrum
If no lollipop

These foggy mornings
Conjure ghostly images
Specters in our midst
Paintbrush Valley
Autumn colors rise
As temperatures commence
Halting downward meanders
Toward Winter’s monochrome.
TreasureDiscarded
This wee opuscule
Is but a passing fancy;
An object, found in passing,
Occupying some free time.
Seeking Calm
In these days of rage
And righteous indignation,
Let us take the time
To view the world around us
And focus on exceptions.

Purple flowers verge
Newly planted apple grove
Virginia Autumn
Ode To Becky Griffith
It is often true
Seventh grade is rarely fun.
Hormones run amok!
Feeling like a mindless hun.
What’s a guy to do
Lest his teacher, by good luck,
Deftly makes the learning fun?
Chaotic Good
Although we struggle
To exist in harmony
Often the ordered cosmos
Finds a few loose threads to pull
Spirals
Golden Ratios,
And coriolis effects
Meet Venus spiral
Where the eye of the storm
Meets the heart of nautilus
