Poem  of  the  Week

Windmill Ridge

8/29/2018

0 Comments

 
What would we ever do without your towers?
A grace that stands against the cobalt sky.
Your silhouette could fascinate for hours,
the height and deft of muscle you supply.
 
A beam of gray floats silently above me,
suspended from a ribbon made of steel,
from left to right you swing around the birch tree
and carefully your gears unwind the reel.

While each of levered arms supporting lattice
of trusses and a maze of countless walls,
without your Herculean apparatus,
there wouldn't be skyscrapers, cities, malls. 
 
My eyes perceive the beauty of your profile,
and like the gentle birds that share your name, 
you rise above the turmoil and the junk pile,
with little thought of what the world became.

A Winemaker’s Hope

8/22/2018

0 Comments

 
The winemaker's season begins with a crush
And bountiful harvests of grapes,
Machinery turning the fruitage to mush,
The barrels removed from their capes.
The vintage assured in a very fine year,
When weather and timing agree,
The soil is tested, its chemistry clear
Of all microscopic debris.

The grapevines are withered, succumbing to cold,
Their branches are barren and dry,
Devout revolution as seasons unfold,
Deplete and replenish supply.
A winemaker's hope is unswerving and true,
Despite a poor yield professed,
The master fermenter's best values accrue
When wines of the past are assessed. 

Aware of sensation upon the first taste,
The cordial libations perceived,
These blended elixirs are fully embraced
For tender emotions achieved.
With fleeting fulfillment of palate success,
The trust of the vintner still weighs,
They cultivate art of sommeliers finesse,
Explaining the winemaker's gaze.

Harboring Prose

8/15/2018

0 Comments

 
With one look they can change people's woeful despair
with their oversized petals of gold, unaware
of attention they garner with impassive flair
by the odd passers-by,
a hushed whisper of wind gently sweeps without care,
as if nothing's awry.

As the sun tracks the sky, it is followed by those
pretty sunflower faces, together they pose
in a field of poetry harboring prose,
and if only they could,
they'd uncover their stalks and set out for, who knows?
without limits, for good!

Dusk on the Delta

8/8/2018

0 Comments

 
The dim of dusk calms delta's shoal, 
and soon begins cacophony, 
its tenants anxious to patrol.
The dim of dusk calms delta's shoal, 
the feral night would soon console
nocturnal beasts' disharmony.
The dim of dusk calms delta's shoal, 
and soon begins cacophony.

An Eerie Calm Before the Night

8/1/2018

0 Comments

 
The sun relaxes as it sets
as if to leave the world alright.
When winds die down, again you feel
an eerie calm before the night.

The dusk takes hold and air is cool,
quite different from the hectic day,
but wearied eyes now contemplate
the placid eve now on display.

A gift presented by the lake
to all who wander on its shore,
is slivered sun, a final glimpse,
which now will offer new rapport.

That eerie calm, I've come to know,
is just the chaos letting go.
