For Scribbler

For Scribbler

Twixt dawn and noon, the weather changes
Mother Nature re-arranges
first there comes a bout of rain
then the sky grows clear again

creatures large and small take heed
when the heavens start to bleed
seeking shelter, one and all,
as the hail stones start to fall

In hopes that they will
Come true.

Find.

In hopes that they will
Discover.

In hopes that they will
Reveal themselves.

In hopes that they will

Surfing life's waves

It's time to surf the thoughtful waves of life,
and bravely dive into its seven seas.
Don't fear that rise would take you up with strife,
for it'll then hand you gently, lay in ease.

Then free yourself from strains upon the shores.
Once tired, anchor and give those bones a rest,
and lightly soothe the wrecks of heavy chores,
for hard is life, so get from it, its best.

The day the World Ended.

The Day the World Ended

After the shipwreck

Near the sea shore I stood alone,
with no one within a mile or more,
Looking at the sun sinking down,
Trying to hide in the depths of the sea.

The golden sand and the reddish sea,
Appeared to me quite heavenly.

Then I can hear the sea murmurs,
Calling me towards her.

Her tides crawl near the shore
To swallow the land more and more.

Now I walk alone to find a home,
Somewhere in this sandy sea shore.

I don't know whether I will live anymore,

To Walk Alone

Walk Alone

The great bear lifted his head.
He looked inward to his very being.
Feeling that he would walk alone,
A mistake to really want to be so

To become aware of a nothing,
Clinging to him like a bad odour,
Eating, feeding off himself.
That left a vast empty space.

The contact with others lost.
It hurt, oh how it hurt, his thoughts,
Unable feel their presence
Being’s companions of the soul.

Once you all switch to Free verse things will get worse

Once you all switch to Free verse things will get worse
a curse
Loved has made all forget
what was poetry and verse
and
the best critique we all know,
will my cruci-fixation rehearse
ere that happens,
guys go back to your archaicity
and
leave my precious verse
to and for me...
I must thank thee
if you want to see
the bard survive in me...

Forest line
stretch like a taut ache
a hunger slipped with aces
and access desire
pulled against the crotch
and hip like the snout of
a holster warm

a walk perfumed and an eye
of fire
Caveat Venditor
how I adore
stature of splendour

Red Brother

Thank you for your service,
Your guidance and your grace.
Thank you for our history.
Your welcome to this place

Next time I go to Bingo,
I will truly look around.
I know of your museums,
And that I play on sacred ground.

Thank you for your culture,
Your people's Benediction.
Thank you for your patience,
Forgive us our condition.

I wrote this as my personal poetic thought s upon Native American Week just last month. Will be nice to see what others think of my thoughts.

Perrenial Grasses

I've been sneezing for the last few minutes,
my eyes watering,
my nose running,
I think I've developed allergies
to my impending age,
there's so much more behind me
than
in front of me,
fewer ducks in a row.
