One of my more recent poems.

Serendipity written 8.2.21. as the snow fell …

Shadows flicker

Candles burn

Molten wax

Half filled urn

A gentle touch

Shivering

Two lovers wrapped

She holds Him.

Snowflakes drifting

To the ground

Frozen mountains

Puget Sound

Cosy cabin

In the woods

Sweet emotion

Understood.

Measured steps

Taking time

Takes no effort

Needs no rhyme

Strumming softly

Words so clear

Music drifting

Atmosphere.

Stratospheric journey

Projection unknown

Cupid’s aim, perfection

Lover’s Twilight Zone

Protective heart

She covers Him

Dice lands assuredly

Bound as one together

Sweet Serendipity

Nicola Nicholas couldn't care less
Nicola Nicholas tore her dress
Nicola Nicholas tore her knickers
Now Nicola Nicholas is knickerless!

Hey diddle diddle
The cat done a piddle
The cow was over the moon
The little dog laughed so see such freaks
And the dish ran off with the spoon

Mary, Mary, ugly and scary
How do you get all those men?
I ask them out and sleep about
Again and again and again

Big Fat usher
Born in Russia
Had a wife
But he did crush her
Had another
Didn't love her
Down the toilet
He did flush her

This old man
He played four
He came knocking at my door....(wait, better not put this one as it is too rude...)


That's my poetry.

REOCCURRING NIGHTMARE


Again
I am ten
Mowing the lawn
With a rotary blade
Dinosaur
Handles too high
For short arms
To control
It becomes a plow
Churning the ground
Weeds
Flowers are flying
Everwhere
I hear my grandfather screaming
Deeper and deeper
It goes
Churning an churning
And it never stops

A demon called depression haunts me
He's taken over my head
Wrapped his tail around my body
And confined me here to my bed

This evil insidious monster
That's taken over my mind
Shows me none of my future
But replays all the past he can find

And the world no longer turns
And the days are no longer light
To the Stygian recesses he takes me
Where only dark dreams burn bright

Hand in hand I'm forced to travel
Dragged along by all of his might
To gaze on unspeakable horrors
That no mere mortal should sight

NIGHT STORM

Watching the storm
invites the lighting bolt
through my window

Sparks ricochet
my kindling nerves ignite
burning unsettled
until morning
breathes new skies

BaBaBoo Express Train by nadroJ



All aboard the Bababoo express!" Shouting the Electronic Octave Train Conductor!
"Feel free to express on the Bababoo express -
Bababoo express!"
All that surrounds is the sounds of the horizons and lands.
"All aboard the Bababoo express!"
Moonshine Glug Bars and Hipsters from Mars -
you may see the universal's own planets and stars,
full moon tonight on the Bababoo. the moon light,
so bright, aluminates onto endless green land,
taking a drive through the land of shadows,
Hand too hand - two people in love,
stars and endless space above.
"All aboard"
Coils on the train, trees in solid motion
the Shapeshifter on the hill tries to cut of the Bababoo mains,
Rabbit in the window, it's all fun and games! "toda la diversión y los juegos!"

Bababoo! Bababoo!
All fresh and brand new!
Buildings off all shapes and sizes,
The sky crystal clear blue.
Cat's are the drivers for ease and for pleasure,
Bababoo express or not, leafs floating down like a feather,
For now or for years, the thought of what's next,
Linters and Flinters on the Bababoo Express!
"tanto que ver!" (So Much To See!) shouts the Electronic Space Doctor!



"próxima parada, wallaby occidental!" (next stop, West Wallaby!)
shouts the messenger to the passenger,
Watching the river flowing,
And the world glowing and overflowing.... with light and harmony!
Dandelion fields and butterfly's flying,
"cups of green exctecy tea I shall be supplying" says the Space Doctor.
"Entering the realm of dreams,
there are infinite alternate universe,
here there is no boundaries of creation,
here at the West Wallaby train station"

Train powered by amigo's who know best ("todos a bordo mis amigos!")
where souls rejoice and confess!
With only best interest -
of which train is to come...... and which train...... is next.

ST. LOUIS

Balanced on weathered red bricks,
poised like a fisherman,
An eight year old
hurls a stone with a slender,
but eager arm,
believing for one moment
He could skip
it across to the Illinois
bank.

Driftwood journeys slowly south
until it is banked
or spit from the mouth
into something
far greater.
