Weary sentinel

Stands amid Autumn color

Regarding the north

Less with some trepidation

But with blue-gray steel resolve.

Version 2

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

October 22, 2016 / agarrabrant / 1 Comment

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

October 22, 2016 / agarrabrant / Leave a comment

Behold these lost trees

Adrift on gossamer seas

Waiting for the slightest breeze

To free them from foggy wreathes

Paintbrush Valley

Autumn colors rise

As temperatures commence

Halting downward meanders

Toward Winter’s monochrome.

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.

Ode To Becky Griffith

October 16, 2016 / agarrabrant / 1 Comment

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
