The Last Bonfire
Reflections of life along the shores of a big freshwater lake, where many years in our youth were like seasons when all would meet together and party around a large bonfire until the end of each season such as when the darkness and ice of winter came.
WHAT IS YOUR HEART TELLING...
its all about our heart. i am not sure ,it is said correctly.. if not i need help.
Heart of Gold
Dedicated to cafetwo2010
Elysium Fields
Within Elysium Dreams love does shine.
A Quiet Shoreline
The sonnet is reflective of a quiet nightime stroll down by the sea on those rare occurrances when the sea is calm and all the stars are out shining brightly. I contemplate what I must do to capture this feeling and make it last in my mind.
Darth Robinson (The Things I Would Take Challenge)
Had fun with this one….. Thanks Shadow for the challenge!!
A Winter's Thaw
A reflective poem sharing some introspective thoughts and feelings about winter life when after many frozen days comes a little January thaw which 'more' than serves to refresh a winter-weary soul. :)))
Penniless Bench
Reflective of many , old and downtrodden folks who have once served in wartime only to be left behind by an ungrateful nation. Sad but all too true.....
Summer’s End
Writing about little clues that define a changing of season here in New England.
Odontoceti (Lady Morgana's Challenge)
A little hint perhaps in the title????
To Boldly Go.......
This poem is a commentary on the invasive pace of modern lifestyles. "To boldly goes where no one has gone before" epitomizes a spirit much different than a child's natural shyness. I was such a child, once shy and fearful of life. With so many uncertainties about the direction of society, harm to environment, and political misgivings...is anyplace safe anymore?
Zodiacal Contemplations (Starsign Challenge)
I never thought about boiling it down like this before...but here it is....haha
Entwined
Playing on the sands of time and pleasure.
Lasting Beauty
Why have people substituted so much worthless junk in place of so many beautiful and natural things?
How You Shine
“How You Shine.” By, Michael P Clarke. (Sonnet.) Like the midday sunlight how you do shine Your Love shines brightly just like molten sun In dreams bright passion your Love it is mine Blessings upon me for i am your one. Above your head
Byegone London.
A sonnet on construction, highlighting how we all too often? wax lyrical about bygone days, yet in general, it was far from the truth, hopefully, the closing couplet focuses the condradiction to the previous twelve lines.
poet
any one can react......
Freedom
Reflecting back on my country's origins
Interviewing Your Love
Just thinking about all the complex reasons why people like and respect each other.
Céad Míle Fáilte ! (Sonnet)
An Irish invitation to an English lady. I know from your posts dear that you yearn to get away for a while.... So just for the craic come over to visit your auld poet buddy and I'll help you trace your Irish ancestry. Don't mind the poem dear, that's just the type of romantic Irish clown I can be. You'd be very safe with Mick.
Celestial Love in a Bottle (An Easter Poem)
I'm just floating an idea of 'celestial love' based on a premise we have only one 'soul mate' for all eternity which makes finding them an even more daunting search. Happy Easter everybody!
Midnight Moonrise
Referencing Cynthia, an alternative name for the Greek moon goddess Artemis. I don't know what possessed me to write this.
Angels And Dinosaurs
A fantasy sonnet about dinosaurs being 'true angels' once living on our planet and down through the ages we mortals have arose but are still waiting their return. It's kind of a strange poem even for my standards not to take anything away from Botticelli who so inspires me with his "Birth of Venus", but maybe he got it all wrong?? :))
In A Hollow Tween
Just having a play with whole Halloween theme in this write from the now cold New England countryside.
Spirit Walking
I am embellishing the sense of a vagabond hippie (my alter ego) taking a journey down an old logging road only experiencing what nature comes along his path and allowing this nature to nurture a weary soul and freeing some spirit to walk along with me ....
Hold On Tightly
Love is just like a dance
Feathers
A sonnet about watching ducks sleeping on a quiet sunny day.
Clefts In The Rock
A deliberate use of metaphor to protest against the emptiness of violent death......and the complete lack of faith, hope, charity, and love sometimes found in my fellow man in this sometimes desolate world as one would imagine if one could gaze across a barren winter battlefield.
Common Dandelion (Yankee's Challenge)
The dandelion is a flower that I admire. It reflects brightly upon my youth. We would pluck it many flowers answering such important questions of the day like ''she's loves me or she love's me not"....or link its stems together into proud necklaces. It reminds of how something so simple and yet so common (enough to be called an invasive, noxious weed by 'The Purists') can also be so useful and colorful and welcomed by many other creatures..including me for making some delicious wine that I use mostly for cooking and also tenderizing meat.
One Winter Night
These cold, colorless New England winter nights sedate such solemn feelings.
Moonlight Rendezvous. (A Sonnet).
For someone special !
By The Babbling Brook
I had a dream and wrote it down in Sonnet form. The dream was love.
Beckoning Your Grace
A mostly spiritual sonnet contrasting life and nature and immortality to the proximity of sunlight.
300th poem "Mine to Blame"
I am deeply reflective with self awareness on this most festive day of Thanksgiving...like my Puritan fathers before me....is my fate upon the shores of new and wild land.
Evening song
This poem is reflective of a hard working farm life and ultimate enjoyment that nature brings…
The Homeless Man
Trying to fathom the deepest sense of despair of those who have no place to call home.
a lovely summer recipe
candles add ambiance, great shared meal...tastes great ;-) file under love or food?!?!
The Lie
A relationship built on trust turns out to be a bust the lies mount one by one to someone this is fun Honesty peace and love to everyone Blessings always

Written to a special Lady when the world tumbled around us
Provence
A reflection of a beautiful time spent in Provence.

Love is really all about what you got.. so take a little lesson from nature and .....show it off!! haha (A rather interesting observation of mine)
