online today!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?? :))online today!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.
Waldo's Mountain
Leaning stretching touching high up above
Memories gathering twinkling like stars
Waldos Mountain I know you like a love
Every dream every imagination
Some people spend their time in a dream land
Some will turn their dreams into memories
Some dreams will turn to concrete some to sand
But I will always have Waldos Mountain
Time the thief came took my youth still I dream
Waldos Mountain gone like so many things
Close my eyes memories still can be seen
So real smell the salt of the ocean air
Little girl face to the wind eyes closed tight
Wrapped in dreams and fantasy's ready for flight

About this poem:
This is wrote about a place I use to play as a young girl. It is not only in honor of this place but also in honor of its great artist who composed this. One mans trash is anothers treasure. His dream gave way to many dreamers in my town for many years. Thank you Waldo for the many legacies you left behind.(Sexton's strange mountain ended up being the highest point between Kitty Hawk and Key West, offering a regal view of the grand Atlantic. The mountain, looking like a cross between an Aztec temple and an orderly junk pile was a great tourist attraction, renamed the Hanging Gardens. Sexton died in 1968 and vandals and collectors began to lay waste to his gardens and eventually the site was cleared.
The junk man died a millionaire.)

online today!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!online today!When Nothingness Matters
My frozen world becomes broken in time
Splinters of beauty does cracklin' ice bring
Those gentle clinks of a muffled wind chime
Wintered valley hear a tolling bell ring
Smokey steam rises from a running brook
Drifts lazily through a dark barren branch
Across the sleeping woods might be forsook
Iced o'er water making the earth's blood stanch
Depart these last days of winter sublime
Water turning vapor before my eyes
Restless as spirits will rise in their time
Ghostly apparitions we need surmise
Castawaya dreams imaginary
Exist either whole or fragmentary
Splinters of beauty does cracklin' ice bring
Those gentle clinks of a muffled wind chime
Wintered valley hear a tolling bell ring
Smokey steam rises from a running brook
Drifts lazily through a dark barren branch
Across the sleeping woods might be forsook
Iced o'er water making the earth's blood stanch
Depart these last days of winter sublime
Water turning vapor before my eyes
Restless as spirits will rise in their time
Ghostly apparitions we need surmise
Castawaya dreams imaginary
Exist either whole or fragmentary

About this poem:
This sonnet is written as a sublime portals of slightly warmer runoff water enters a slowly swollen stream just beginning to rise with the coming of the first warm rains of spring over a land still frozen in winter time.online today!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.online today!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.
I Have Met Love
I have a love, my heart so wishes that she knew
What ploys and desires can I invoke to win her hand?
She treads so lightly so as not to disturb the morning dew
And her delicate heart never leaves a mark upon the sand
Oh love of mine please look to where this soul is residing
At the edge of the entire world it sees only thine reflection
Can you not see that my adoration is forever abiding
I would sacrifice all for a moment of your divine affection
For willows cannot weep more than mine own eyes
Yet as the rivers flow and carry my dreams to thee
All I can see is your vision across all the clouded skies
And your look of devotion would forever encompass me
Love, Oh love do not smite me with a dismissing hand
For no greater passion can be found across this land
What ploys and desires can I invoke to win her hand?
She treads so lightly so as not to disturb the morning dew
And her delicate heart never leaves a mark upon the sand
Oh love of mine please look to where this soul is residing
At the edge of the entire world it sees only thine reflection
Can you not see that my adoration is forever abiding
I would sacrifice all for a moment of your divine affection
For willows cannot weep more than mine own eyes
Yet as the rivers flow and carry my dreams to thee
All I can see is your vision across all the clouded skies
And your look of devotion would forever encompass me
Love, Oh love do not smite me with a dismissing hand
For no greater passion can be found across this land

About this poem:
Sonnets are not really my bag, bit too disciplined for me, but I thought I would have a crack at one.online today!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.online today!Warlike 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
