Ten Golden dollars

Ten golden dollars
is a vast piece of change
to a man with no fortune
or home on the range. . .

Money for madness
or relaxing the mind
a small touch of heaven
is what you can find. . .

Ten golden dollars
will bring you to fame
at least in your eyes
nothing's the same . . .

A Garden of Eden
in a world out of Time
a touching of Karma
where all is sublime. . .

the lightning bug

moving slowly
darting lowly
you can find me
in the wind

shining brightly
glowing lightly
you can see me
near the end

rolling quickly
sliding slickly
you can touch me
with your eyes

glowing sprightly
shining nightly
i am moving
through the skies

Bluegazingah

Bluegazingah evermore, tracks in stars onto your floor.
Moonbeams too, and you still want more. January 2010

Unknown

just beyond the water wide
mist is cov'ring up the light
just beyond the limpid pools
lay dusky shades of night

just across the vast unknown
the clouds are full and dense
just beyond the astral trance
and nothing here makes sense

just across the future pale
our lives have gone a-tatter
just beyond that broken wreck
where everythings a-shatter

just across those dwindling times
a hidden passage looms
just beyond uncharted seas
a different future looms

The Daughter of Yellaspider

Red-Eyed Yellow Spider 2010

The spider

the spider sneaks on eight fine legs
and ever lives to lie
she's never known to tell the truth
and lurks because she's shy
eight legs or arms the more to grab
some creature in her grasp
she weaves her sil'vry web at night
her victims to enclasp

the spider lives a lonesome life
with ne'er a trusting mate
for when she takes her love to bed
her supper is their fate
perhaps arachnids might just know
how she could find a male
one wild night on silvered threads
for sex beyond the pale.

Blue-on-blue, the call is now, blue-on-blue, show us how. . .

The man

There once was a man from Missouri
Who hated to be in a hurry
He would rather not chance

Since to do so would be a great worry
