Bonsai and Bird
The Bonsai embraces
The Bird. As eternal
A moment as this
Must not go
Unpreserved.

ever be it thus (non-acrostic)
to donna sue atkins
ever and forever are our sisters
and never is negated with a deed
with some grit in our endeavor
we will fulcrumize our lever
and our world will shift will perk up and take heed
..
we do better with our betterment and vistas
of enlightenment delight us right before us
lovingkindness is a plus
yes and ever be it thus
as our voices harmonize in blended chorus
olden ew
my 70th birthday approaches my friends/and though i rejoice my alivedness/the upped crepitation encroaches my friends/and meds make existence contrivedness
young folk call me boomer in scorn-condescension/implying i’m taking up spacing/how useless my latin nouns with each declension/how t u r t l e s l o w dull is my pacing
i need no revenge though there’s some to be had/with hourglass watches and mire/ their years will flash by like a stripper unclad/and eternity dims all desire
sonnet ccclxxiv
(First appearance: Facebook, Poets All Call group, 26 July 2015. Poet Joseph Arechavala had posted a challenge to “wrote about any subject in Shakespearean English.” I have lost count of the number of sonnets I have written, but I know it was well into the three-hundreds in 2010, so i’m confident that i’ve gone beyond “ccclxxiii” and may shoehorn this into the canon.)
sonnet ccclxxiv
when we are by possessions too possess’d
and risk a heart for diamonds and the like
that heart is sour’d. acquisitive unrest
gives satisfaction chase, but fails to strike.
yet when we are by love most full unraptur’d
and risk our life and fortune for such love
possessions immaterial are captur’d
and we are dyed with rainbows from above.
the risk of loss is real and in its season
that dreaded loss will come, if soon or late,
and though with wrenchéd heart we plead for reason
some life is reasonless; such is our fate.
with time we may enjoy what had been felt
and then into eternity we melt . . .
Derail Stress
Destiny just HALF-awaits
Eternity oft slows a gait
Recipes for amped career
Asperity unspoken here
Inner peace remembers this
Lucidity precursors bliss
Jewel Egg
Justification of time & expense
Eerily jars jurisprudence/defense
Whispered eternity “Put on the dog
Enigma’d existence is radiant FOG
Leave E.L.E.G.A.N.T.L.Y”–with disciples agog
This jewel is under construction.
