The summer streams of yesterday
have grown brown legs and crept away
and in the middle of the road
squats a fat and ugly toad.

with a desiccated twig.

Are amphibians ever stricken
with the human seed for greed?
Do they crave their neighbor's castle
do they crave their neighbor's weed?

Are they jealous of young tadpoles
still in possession of their tails,
svelte and gently curving
in the marsh mud where they dwell?

Do they remember those old days
when they were worry free,
before the warts and wrinkles,

scurriers after silver water
gasping at illicit oxygen
- we have emerged from the darkness
to seek the eggs of becoming.

The waters are muddy with words
and the intentions of men
- where are the eggs of which we dream,
sun-like, filled with iridescent yolk?
Our children are restless
our old people are pensive.
They remember the old stories
and wonder if we have taken a wrong turning...

We want to drink tequila with lime and salt

Where the Weary Can Rest

There's a church in the vale

no steps or no benches manmade.

wings nailed

to startling things on display.

Forgive

the birds of prey.

Shapeshift pure intent,

fanning away eaten crow.

End the day with

a smile.

Something,

you would prefer.

dappled horses come and go
a curious cow investigates.

Worlds collide, butterflies
flap their wings and die
a lizard loses its tail to a cat
a man walks through a spiderweb.

Is something moving inbetween the trees
is there a dragon beneath the water?
- I gaze upon the liquid silver scales
and cock my head to one side to listen.

will you come and tap me... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Willowdown) http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/19269 Sun, 05 Oct 2008 20:10:48 GMT <![CDATA[ Chrysanthemum ]]> http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/19268/t/Chrysanthemum.html Chrysanthemum

MAPLE SONG

The sugar maple yields its wings of vibrant reds,
the essence is eternal;
brilliant oranges tip the lingering green,
deer graze in the woods, wild turkeys
gobble and strut. The essence is eternal.
Leaves brown and fall in sweet decay,
make a rustling music underfoot.
Energy field alive with magnetic swirlings,
blazing yellows and crimson... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (jazmine426) http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/19266 Sun, 05 Oct 2008 18:40:13 GMT <![CDATA[ October Is in Bloom ]]> http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/19265/t/October-Is-in-Bloom.html The air is crisp with October creativity, Chrysanthemums fairly bursting at the seams leaves s w i r l i n g Suddenly the garden is a Monet painting redone in tones of Reubens reds..
