Zodiacal Contemplations (Starsign Challenge)
Aries you and me are hot to handle
Taurus you've got some hope I could wish for
Gemini so lovely burns my candle
Cancer let's share the earth we both adore
Leo like twin suns burning we're too hot
Virgo too often lift your hopes too high
Libra you give me such freedom of thought
Scorpio you're so sexy you make me sigh
Sagittarius make ourselves so strong
Capricorn let us ride the cresting wave
Aquarius don't hold me down too long
Pisces you really are charming and brave
If you love your freedom and love passion
Our love will never go out of fashion
Taurus you've got some hope I could wish for
Gemini so lovely burns my candle
Cancer let's share the earth we both adore
Leo like twin suns burning we're too hot
Virgo too often lift your hopes too high
Libra you give me such freedom of thought
Scorpio you're so sexy you make me sigh
Sagittarius make ourselves so strong
Capricorn let us ride the cresting wave
Aquarius don't hold me down too long
Pisces you really are charming and brave
If you love your freedom and love passion
Our love will never go out of fashion

About this poem:
I never thought about boiling it down like this before...but here it is....hahaWarlike Menace
If by chance be that creature of the wood
Searching for prey by the light of the moon
Creature of the sea be misunderstood
Traps silvery schools in shallow lagoon
Creature of the city who stalks by night
Black hoody shadows red eyes are ablaze
Indifferent to cries of fear and fright
Tears drip with blood soak darkenned alleyways
Predation's eyes watches with deep peril
Boldness striking like the fangs of vipers
Coldness gazing down scope of a barrel
Steady squeezes the trigger of snipers
What about nature do we learn is evil
Schooled in survival since times primeval
Searching for prey by the light of the moon
Creature of the sea be misunderstood
Traps silvery schools in shallow lagoon
Creature of the city who stalks by night
Black hoody shadows red eyes are ablaze
Indifferent to cries of fear and fright
Tears drip with blood soak darkenned alleyways
Predation's eyes watches with deep peril
Boldness striking like the fangs of vipers
Coldness gazing down scope of a barrel
Steady squeezes the trigger of snipers
What about nature do we learn is evil
Schooled in survival since times primeval

About this poem:
Contrasting the predatory nature of mankind with survival.Indecision
Been thinking about us a lot lately
And it's making me feel kind of a wreck
Not sure to know how to feel exactly
Just wondering how long we're going to trek
Liking each other a lot that's for sure
Can be the same as only be a friend
Who is sure things will change in the future
When we can't predict what's around the bend
Can you imagine you want more than that
Can't just not think because we think too much
Now so very torn 'cause we've arrived at
This point to make a decision as such
Love too fleeting to capture in a net
Up until the day that you and I met
And it's making me feel kind of a wreck
Not sure to know how to feel exactly
Just wondering how long we're going to trek
Liking each other a lot that's for sure
Can be the same as only be a friend
Who is sure things will change in the future
When we can't predict what's around the bend
Can you imagine you want more than that
Can't just not think because we think too much
Now so very torn 'cause we've arrived at
This point to make a decision as such
Love too fleeting to capture in a net
Up until the day that you and I met

About this poem:
The complex human nature we call love.Beckoning Your Grace
Sunrise spilling light o'er a frozen lake
Still casting in deep shades of icy blue
Color back to a colder darkness make
Transparent crystals shining light its hue
For we the weary travellers of time
Casting out upon our journey will take
In the moment day beckons the sublime
A shining significance each snow flake
For only in your light does darkness shrink
Those colorless memories the night voids
Looking out from eyes of a desert sphinx
Over a sleeping world that life devoids
Shining bright every day from deep space
Giving us life by beckoning your grace
Still casting in deep shades of icy blue
Color back to a colder darkness make
Transparent crystals shining light its hue
For we the weary travellers of time
Casting out upon our journey will take
In the moment day beckons the sublime
A shining significance each snow flake
For only in your light does darkness shrink
Those colorless memories the night voids
Looking out from eyes of a desert sphinx
Over a sleeping world that life devoids
Shining bright every day from deep space
Giving us life by beckoning your grace

About this poem:
A mostly spiritual sonnet contrasting life and nature and immortality to the proximity of sunlight.Spring Meadows
At last the winters' cold spell be broken
Lest soften the foggy freeze in your grip
Givin' rise to springs and streams awoken
Castin' loose ice clingin' on rocks to slip
Return the smells of sweet earth when anew
Once molded decayed old leaves start rottin'
Burstin' fresh in new greens and shining dew
Boney limbs a forest nigh forgotten
For pure is the spring as the newborn lambs
Stand on spindly legs that freshen life brings
Melt back down riverbanks flooded ice jams
Gurgles currents fast around its bend sings
So softly now is the grass turnin' green
Wave fresh across the sunlit meadows clean
Lest soften the foggy freeze in your grip
Givin' rise to springs and streams awoken
Castin' loose ice clingin' on rocks to slip
Return the smells of sweet earth when anew
Once molded decayed old leaves start rottin'
Burstin' fresh in new greens and shining dew
Boney limbs a forest nigh forgotten
For pure is the spring as the newborn lambs
Stand on spindly legs that freshen life brings
Melt back down riverbanks flooded ice jams
Gurgles currents fast around its bend sings
So softly now is the grass turnin' green
Wave fresh across the sunlit meadows clean

About this poem:
Maybe getting a little ahead of myself as I long for end of winter that the growing, glowing, warming sun will bring.The Coming of Spring
When in an evening of sweet quiet dream
I gaze at the stars for beauty it brings
Like a pool full of swimming minnows team
A tree full of returning songirds that sings
My heart beat captures the raindrops that dance
A warm breeze blowing the first smell of spring
Exciting time for pairing and romance
A tree swelling proud with its new growth ring
As much in my eye as my heart grows fond
Past empyreal springs have come and gone
Auspicious another lies still beyond
Celestial horizons casts dreams on
Moments we have are like moments we share
For when everyone knows Spring's in the Air
I gaze at the stars for beauty it brings
Like a pool full of swimming minnows team
A tree full of returning songirds that sings
My heart beat captures the raindrops that dance
A warm breeze blowing the first smell of spring
Exciting time for pairing and romance
A tree swelling proud with its new growth ring
As much in my eye as my heart grows fond
Past empyreal springs have come and gone
Auspicious another lies still beyond
Celestial horizons casts dreams on
Moments we have are like moments we share
For when everyone knows Spring's in the Air

About this poem:
Spring is just around the bend. Look at how all the stars have shifted in the night sky!One Winter Night
How deep resolves an achromatic moon
Shining brightist when all gloaming begets
Will comfort me late past an aft'a noon
Sinking deepest in silent silhouettes
Happy stars watch you pull the tides along
The rolling surf crests high her icy glaze
Come night ne'er blinds a glowing sky so strong
Nor an earth to rest in her brumal days
Winter paints a barren landscape numb
Soundless chilled by shades of snow and moon
Fleeing air heavy down from heights succumb
Spilling deeply into hushed meadows strewn
Burning into night stars shining so bright
The vast hibernal sky 'comes black and white
Shining brightist when all gloaming begets
Will comfort me late past an aft'a noon
Sinking deepest in silent silhouettes
Happy stars watch you pull the tides along
The rolling surf crests high her icy glaze
Come night ne'er blinds a glowing sky so strong
Nor an earth to rest in her brumal days
Winter paints a barren landscape numb
Soundless chilled by shades of snow and moon
Fleeing air heavy down from heights succumb
Spilling deeply into hushed meadows strewn
Burning into night stars shining so bright
The vast hibernal sky 'comes black and white

About this poem:
These cold, colorless New England winter nights sedate such solemn feelings.Angels And Dinosaurs
Swoop down come you all on your golden wings
Beckonning my pleas for your safety brings
Shining green eyes and a lizard tongue sings
With a shrilling voice from the King of Kings
No greater raptor on earth can compare
For only your fossils in earth lie bare
Waiting once again for the truth do dare
For all who knows your mystery beware
Perchance angelic image was all wrong
Art and form never human all along
In our hearts we do fear where you belong
When so much your legend became our song
Once upon a time before we humans
You were Glory, Alleluia, Amen
Beckonning my pleas for your safety brings
Shining green eyes and a lizard tongue sings
With a shrilling voice from the King of Kings
No greater raptor on earth can compare
For only your fossils in earth lie bare
Waiting once again for the truth do dare
For all who knows your mystery beware
Perchance angelic image was all wrong
Art and form never human all along
In our hearts we do fear where you belong
When so much your legend became our song
Once upon a time before we humans
You were Glory, Alleluia, Amen

About this poem:
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?? :))The Moon Will Cry
Lifting the smog beyond the city lights
Far away molecules drift out of sight
Perhaps on a vapor trail from distant flights
Crossing up strange patterns into the night
Seldom seen on western horizons far
Busy travel in the atmosphere so high
Those little trails that smoke under a star
To make one wonder just how high we fly
The train still whistles on the tracks nearby
Travelling on from from city to city
The sounds of sirens always fill the sky
Like the night winds fill our hearts with pity
No reason exists for the moon will cry
Except for the fact that our earth will die
Far away molecules drift out of sight
Perhaps on a vapor trail from distant flights
Crossing up strange patterns into the night
Seldom seen on western horizons far
Busy travel in the atmosphere so high
Those little trails that smoke under a star
To make one wonder just how high we fly
The train still whistles on the tracks nearby
Travelling on from from city to city
The sounds of sirens always fill the sky
Like the night winds fill our hearts with pity
No reason exists for the moon will cry
Except for the fact that our earth will die

About this poem:
An expose on pollution. I hope it shames all those whom disregard our fragile planet into some action.A Winter's Thaw
Melt water swashes over jagged ice
Warm southern breeze lift high my piney boughs
From sleepy dens do gentle days entice
Awakened forest dweller cause to rouse
Wash warmer my face in your golden rays
Make my step bounce a little brighter yet
With nature walks the youth of early days
And all her promises of spring be met
For a winter's thaw in my heart be kept
Close by this meadow's memories be born
Running down where the flood waters be swept
Washing me clean over rocks well be worn
Dances a warm winter's glowin' sunbeam
Does make my world a little less extreme
Warm southern breeze lift high my piney boughs
From sleepy dens do gentle days entice
Awakened forest dweller cause to rouse
Wash warmer my face in your golden rays
Make my step bounce a little brighter yet
With nature walks the youth of early days
And all her promises of spring be met
For a winter's thaw in my heart be kept
Close by this meadow's memories be born
Running down where the flood waters be swept
Washing me clean over rocks well be worn
Dances a warm winter's glowin' sunbeam
Does make my world a little less extreme
