CONE OF PINE SHINTO SHRINE



Cone of Pine

Carved Shinto Shrine

.. with its Fibonacci

ones and threes and nines..

..

Some day as she

longs for her destiny

.. to be a tree

With green forked fire

she will burst her cone.



But do not fear

On each of her grandchild

trees..

will be new Shinto shrines

.. new cones of pine.



BRIGHT GOLD FIELDS



Within the husk

are bright seeds

containing future

gold fields of corn



Just so God grows

joy's bright kernels

inside the husks

of cruel scorn



APPLE TREE



The apple tree

has no commercials

in the movie of her unfolding

.. she does not make

passes at her friends

.. she does not spill

oil on newfallen snow

.. she does not sign

the fruit she gives entire



BUTTERNUT



Held the dew the concave butternut

better than the convex buttercup

*





He no longer daisy petals shreds to ask if her love for him has been shed

*

The peony sphere has no perfume.. until she opens the petals

of her heart

*

The bees' favorite couplet.. sunup brimming buttercuplet

*

In the predawn violet... as they wake the violets... of the unsung.. birds sing...

*

Dawndrawn dandelions summoned by the sun... spread gold parasols

*

Bursting blooms of bluebonnet to the sun sing silent sonnets

A beetlebored bamboo flute.. Yonder wind plays upon it

*

The sun arises and rouses the rose

*

April is aproned with apricot blooms.

*

Hawaiian breadfruit... shed your Joseph's coat of many colors..

your 1000 panes of stained glass mosaic.. and become 10,000 breadfruit trees

*

When God greengrows it's rarely in rows... awry the rye rises...unruly the rose

*



From the shore.. one looks upward

to the sanddune grass..10,000 green brush blades

trying to paint the blue sky jade*

*

Little Tree, Little Tree, I wonder where you are

to thank you for the sweet pink fruit you did weave

from distant star.

*

Each night the tree of nut out of naught knits neat nuts

*

Weeding whispered the Great Spirit...is plant racism

*

How awesome How sublime That out of muck and mud and slime God makes lemons God makes limes.

*

Ivy and violets vy not with the violent.



*

Enpine the cone! Enoak acorn! Enpear the seed that inner

sun be freed!















GOLDSMITHED ROSE



All life is sacred

but one day he chose

that the Japanese beetle

was greater than rose.

Crawling in his greenmail* armour

over the Goldsmithed bloom

ready to turn gold petal fire

into pure insect flight.

He found when he chose

the bug oer the

rose

God gave him back

endless blooms of rose.





APPLE CHAPEL PINE SHRINE



Is God's favorite chapel

orchards appled?

Her Ichi Ban shrine..

trees of pine?

Her beloved mosque

vine covered kiosks?

Her best synagogue

a cranberry bog?

Her holiest church

woods of birch



(to N and E Kempel)



CHICORY AND PERIWINKLE



chicory

and periwinkle



.. catch blue

stars' nightly twinkle



their bursting bluems



do angels sprinkle





NO ADIEU



The bees need not

bid the blooms adieu

for the morn brings

new nectar and dew





IN THE PRIDED WOOD



In the prided wood

the Lord of Luminescence

gives each fruit

a dewy tumescence

and with light each

lemon limns

and with love

each lime he lines.





IN THE COUNTY OF FAIRFAX



In the county of Fairfax

in the meadows flagged with phlox

stop the fair unfair who fright the fox

before they eat the flanks of flocks





TWO ROSES DWELT ABOVE



Two roses dwelt

above

.. the meanest sharpest

thorns

So high they

swayed

in morning light

their petaled fleece

was never shorn





DANDELION DIASPORA



The rain, weed-wed,

has

multiplied

these

gray haired flakeheads

and now



dandelion seeds float in the air..

by the Bubble Blower sent aloft..

which ones will mystically touchdown..

to root in our hearts?





NOT IN CHAOTIC SHARDS



Not in chaotic shards

do dandelion seeds

burst from their ball.

Each part as perfect

as the whole.

Each each contains

the all.





BEETLE BITTEN BEE BIBBED BLOOMS



The beetle bitten blooms

are now beautiful of lace

The bees have bibbed

all the nectar

and the emptied bloom chalice

will now hold new dew.





BUTTERNUT AND BUTTERCUP



Held the dew

the concave buttercup

better than

the convex butternut



as listening ears

have healing

in their cups



with what

chalice'd joy

does the buttercup

hold

the liquid sunup





(to J Miller, to L Yost and to others)





DO FLOWERS CHASE BEES?



Do flowers chase bees?

Does Mother Earth bite?

Do rivers run backwards?

Do

butterflies get speeding tickets? It is to the meditater at the

tree's base and not to the hunter that the gentle deer come.

***



(to bee attracting C Nevada

who juggles 3 careers)





PHLOX UNFURL THEIR FLAGS



The phlox unfold

their bee flagons

that busy bees

not be flaggin

The phlox unfurl

their flags of joy..

made of the caught

flames of the sun..

with hues

unique to no nation..



As the world warms

in the flux of love

there will be less need

for foxes' gloves

or phlox gloves





PICKPOCKET KUDZU



Kudzu pickpocket

crawling along

the pickets

and up the trunks

looking for caches

and caves of squirrel

seeds..



as Love climbs over

the heart.. looking

for chinks which will

let Him in





THISTLE BLOWS



Tangent to the mistle toe

Near where the harbor whistle crows

she the dearest epistle knows

is watching down of thistle blow



Her favorite sermon

.. Jack In the Pulpit

surrounded by his

bee disciples





LACKADAISICAL



As they watched buds unfold

and to blooms explode



they called the wind

lackadaisical..

but because he in freedom blew

the world will never

lack for daisies..





OAK AND POPLAR



The centenarian oak

cares not

that less slender

is poplar body cloak

He cares not that

in gardens papal

more popular

are the poplars





HAT OF BLUEBONNET



Mother Earth's hat

of meadowed bluebonnet

Out of the blue

how quickly she dons it

To the sky spirea aspires

while snapdragons to the sun

sing a silent

sonnet

Such a beautiful world:

God smiles upon it





NO PRUNING



His plum tree

he did not violently

prune

and therefore

he had

many times more prunes





DELILAH'S DAHLIAS



No longer need

Samson fear

Delilah's shears.

Reborn is

Delilah

..

.. safe are the curly heads

of dahlias



MASTER OF ASTERS



Has made manifest, God, Weaving Master

the unfolded fan spheres of each purple aster

while Mother Earth has knitted strong knots

in the faithful blue forget me nots.

and the sun has tied seamless buckles

from the roots to the blooms of the honeysuckle.



Of all beings, God is the

seamster, the weaver,

the knitter, the tier,

He welds, He unites, He joins

every leaf and soul with His sunfire.



DAFFODIL CHALICE





Father winter

.. he did fill

the hopeful cup of

wee daffodil

with the cold

sorbet

of chill

the icing of

snowspill.



But it melted

quickly..

and soon to

the touch of

the sun

the daffodil

did thrill.







OLIVES OF WRATH



There are olives of wrath

as well as grapes of wrath

... bulldozed

from their mother trees

May God

Who is Nonharming

Who is Peace

change all ways

so that always

peace will be theirs and thine

peace will be for all .. for mine



MAXWELL PERIWINKLE BLUE



Stars

above & their twinkles

are mirrored by

ground periwinkle

.. they do not sparkle

as much as J's smile

breaking through

her cheek crinkles





to JMB





DANDELION BLOOD



Dandelions' blood

is green..

Dandy lions' blood

is red

Because they hurt

They have bled





HOLLY HOCKS



Thought Holly in her hammock

"Never will Holly hock

the seeds of her

precious holly hocks



Their standards of cheer

are receivers of joy

THE SPUN SUN



The sun

that night did shun

seen everywhere

in trees and flowers spun







JADE LINEN



Ever the tree of linden

is spinning his green linen







GRAPE GLEANINGS



Purple Grape gleanings

spun from sun gleamings

.. like the violet sunrise

shining in the gloaming





ORCHID BEDFELLOWS



They all alight

upon

the orgy of orchids..

the dragonfly

for a place to rest

the bee for nectar..

(though he loves his queen more)..

and the cicada

to munch upon the

leaves



(my muse for this poem

is Joan Beth Clair who wrote

'the black and yellow bee

the black and yellow butterfly

.. on the flower together"

.. paraphrased poorly

from memory)





NO HIDDEN ARROWS



There are no hidden arrows

in the bright golden yarrow

who ever knits her gifts

from the earth's very marrow







FOXGLOVE



The foxglove meant no offense

when you brushed by her fragrant fence

and she slapped you with her white glove







DUNEGRASS PAINTBRUSHES



Paintbrushes.. ten thousand

dunegrass blades: soft spears

work to paint the

blue sky sphere



yet no matter how

many strokes of green

the sky remains

invulnerably blue

God's creation:

The incarnation

of pink carnations...

.crowning circle of bees

completes coronation

Beauty gives her

hegemony...

the pink bush of anemone

butterflies..

...with nary an enemy

said the wild violets

were a persistent weed



they scotch these

purple fragilities

with such

a heedless facility





REGALIA



A bursting regalia

of blooming azalea

God has enkindled

just to regale you





LADY BIRD'S COWSLIPS



Painters love flowers for their hues.

Perfumers love blossoms for their smells.

Bees other bees of bloom nectar tell.

Lady Bird loves cowslips for themselves.



Wherever she has trod in the dell

flowertrails to Mother Earth befell

.. daffodils and larkspur and bluebells

daisies and trilliums and thingyleshells





FORSYTHIA



For His Cynthia

sunny soul





PATIENT IMPATIENCE

I grow these lilies

to delight My Phyllis

each heaven sent

.. and the flowers of France

have fragrant frankincense



WALLFLOWERS



No more broken hearted

wallflowers passed by

No more plants called

weeds.. torn out by their roots



HYDRANGEAS



Sometimes confessor priests

or flowers speak..

Hydrangeas change their hue

From the acid in the soil

They change from pink to blue.



(to Dave Baldacci who spoke

of a row of pink hydrangeas,

1 plant of which had turned

to blue... investigators dug

and find a gun there)

(Most who kill are 1 time killers..

but when serial murder occurs,

the ethics become more weighted)





BLOOMING HEART

heart are



samara starred ,

A clover veil..

violets the vale

JASMINE SCENT



The South Wind

has for the evening

donned

jasmine scent.





GOLDENROD JEWEL





The bee hung upside down

to clasp

the goldenrod jewel

beneath the hasp

.. and therefore found

chalice not empty

but half full



He swung on the goldenrod's heavy arc

... his striped curl

matching her golden curl



POSIE DEFENSE



One said that

the posies

were sham posers

.. ignored him

the posies

and kept on posie-ing.

This is a defense

of posies along the fence.



FERNS' SHY LOCKS

framed by shamrocks

.. may he tread there

softly..

oh aristocrat pawn Sherlock



IRIS UNPERPLEXED



It does not

violet iris perplex

that the sun continues

iris petals to purplex.



NECTAR IN THE CHALICED BLOOMS



There are lilac honey,

rose honey

and honey from daffodils

There is honey from

lilies of the valley

and from apple blossoms

on the hill.

But whether it is honey

from honeysuckle

or from peach and pear trees

any honey eaten by humans

is a theft from the bees.



SUNFLOWERS SWIRLING



The sunflowers are sundials

swiveling, swirling

while in the dell, daffodils

today i saw a single lemon yellow tiger lily..

a fallen star lying in the green...

but nearby ... are constellations of orange ones.. waiting to burst

made one think of C & B Kilby

bloom feathers..

.. whatever they wish for

surely

.. some day will be



LOOSESTRIFE



Loosestrife was slain

because

with her so fast pink loom

she spins pink blooms

as she stitches

land out of water

and pure fire.

But to save the bees,

more are saving her

the water purifier.



*



ASTERS



The meadows' Master, the pastures' pastor

has banned mowers to asterisk the fields with asters.



KARCH



The gold of the rainbow's rarified arch

The gold of the daffodils of March.

The gold of October's

leaves of larch.

are nothing to the gold

in the heart of Richard Karch.



NOT BLUEBELL BLOSSOMS



White blossoms give way to sweet blackberries.

Pink blooms blow away and lo are scarlet cherries.

Bright orange flowers replaced by purple prickly pearies.

Al Couch, a Biblical scholar and farmer, took Genesis literally.. that there were no brutal weather patterns on earth when it was covered with trees.. it is humankind, not God, he thought, who have created the violence of freezing.

Luther Burbank did also. The book Secret Life Of Plants has many interesting documentations of this.\



(*greenmail reference to the takeover attempt of Goodyear by James Goldsmith, capital manipulater of the UK.. which cost its city, pensioners, employees & stockholders 95 million dollars greenmail: an unfriendly move by a securities buyer who buys enough stock in a company to threaten a hostile takeover later agreeing to sell the stock back to the company at a higher price.) (God and the beetles forgive me for the time as a child in order to please a gardener I complied with his request to kill the beetles.) ------------------- ( Goodyear lost 95 million dollars and has never recovered. Stockholding members of the URW have been wiped out. Atty General Switzer of NY is building a coalition of AG's to fight Wall St. abuse. Greenmail is a takeover tactic but now it has another meaning: the promise of campaigns against Mother Earth abusers by environmentalists. -------- http://spot.acorn.net/fruitarian Dr Chandra Bose was knighted by Queen Victoria for proving plant feelings with his crescograph machine.

While the UK has banned all foxhunting with more than 2 dogs,

this ancient barbarism continues in some counties of Virginia.









GOLDENROD AND IRONWEED



These blazing

September scepters

banishing glooms'

wispy specters

passing all tests

of solar inspectors



COCONUT PALMS REBORN FROM NAPALM



He felt sad

that government

napalm

had burned

unnumbered Vietnamese

palms

and so he planted

countless trees

with his own tireless

and loving palms



(to David Kidd)



CLOVER LAMPS



The clover lamps

with their curved necks

hang over the cobbles

of a London sidewalk

shedding purple light

in their tiny world



OERHOVERER



You are the nectar, the hummingbird, the clover.

You are the bloom, the

bee, the OerHoverer.

You are the child, the care and the mother.

You

are the Love, the Beloved, the Lover.



(to our mother)



CHRISTMAS TREE IN JULY WINDOW



It was July..

needles had fallen to the floor

from his Christmas tree..

it was festooned with spiders..

but the lights still

blinked on and off

in his evening windows..

and to passersby

gave a strange cheer



As above his unkempt clothes

And beneath his kindest eyes

his smile.. an effortless

act of universal cheer..

was enough to enkindle

the fires of hope

in a lonely passerby.

****

(to unusually sensitive, conscious, kind John Scott Wegener)

(May the deforesting practice of putting formerly sentient Christmas trees inside

be replaced with the decoration of those on the lawn..

or the use of nondead trees)

CELERY STALKING



He was accused of stalking

women in green stockings

until they found

he was a

celery stalk.



Celery ne'er to evil

accelerates.



LACELEAFSLIP



Cut down that tree!

The Lumbermen cried!

She's so ugly and

so slipshod!

With her flaky head

lost in the clouds

and her feet in the filthy sod..

But all who loved her

encircled her

and kept her from the axe and

the blade

and in the spring with

new roots she was shod

and clad in a

laceleafslip from God.



(to the volunteers at EDF)

(Please email them at

http://www.edf.org to

ask that the Environmental

Defense Fund not promote

the testing of turpentine

.. lead.. rat poison.. and

other known toxins on animals.)



CATTAIL SENTRIES



Through 2 centuries

Cattail sentries

doff their fluffy hats

and loyally stand guard

as Queen River silent

flows yond the Yard.



A Di wind churned by

universal grief

caused all riparian

blooms to bow



Windseeded

these fluffy hats

on new banks grow

with their love

of her.





CANDLES OF HEAVEN



Far above earth's

tiny scandals

blaze with love

the heavens' candles



THE PURPLE GENTIAN



Blushed violet

The shy purple gentian



neath sun's bright attention

as she drew purple fabric

from other dimensions

and traveling birds

of her beauty made mention

She like Christ's lilies

fears not for her pension

Nor does she fear

cruel frost's interventions

nor the latest in

sharp scything's inventions



in her world of deep peace

there exists no tension





(thank you to Garrison Kielor

for rhyming mention and gentian)



KELLY GREENLEAF



On kelly greenleaf looms

the sun spins bluems



BUTTERNUT AND BUTTERCUP



Held the dew

the concave buttercup

better than

the convex butternut



as listening ears

have healing

in their cups



with what

chalice'd joy

does the buttercup

hold

the liquid sunup





(to J Miller, to L Yost and to others)



BLOSSOM OF COTTON



The blossom of cotton

is soon forgotten

after being

purely begotten





save by the bees

save by God







BERRY TEAS



Berry teas are the

only

nonviolent teas,

with no karma

of ripping

leaves off trees.



BEETLE BITTEN BEEBIBBED BLOOMS



The beetle bitten blooms

are now beautiful of lace

All the nectar

is beebibbed

and the emptied bloom chalice

will now hold new dew.



BEECH ON THE BEACH



The tree of beech

did God beseech

that she could go

to the beach



Round her apple tree

wands of blanche

had burst with bloom

every single branch.



So great was

her desire

.. God the

wishfilling fire



did move her entire

to the beach

planting her in a

rockprotected breach



and shells made white

by sun bleach.



(to N Beech)



BAMBOO BAMBINOS



Helen Blavatsky wrote of

her life in India..

60 foot high stands of bamboo

were beetle bored..

at varying lengths in the trunk

and in the wind

these trunk flutes

sang the sweetest symphony



Bamboo have bambinos

effortlessly...

everywhere are the

new spears of life









ANGELS ON THE HEAD OF A PEN



Angels don't sit on

the head of a pin..

but the thoughts they

send to our landway pens

are stacked up

like planes



INSECTICIDE FOGGING TRUCK

Crickets make a final

peep

Snuffed are the lanterns

of fireflies



Bumblebees' pollination

stop

Caterpillars do not

become butterflies



There are sloths

two toed

There are sloths

three toed

but it's Monsanto

and Clark

making toads

three toed



the fog of death

fouls Mother Nature's

breath

and causes little

children's deaths

**



PRETTY STRONG



He sat down next

to me in a public computer

place..

and I was about to say

'your perfume is pretty

strong with animal products'

but God stopped me

at the word pretty

and I made a friend

instead of a foe..

Nevertheless I felt

guilt.





ASTERS UNASTERISKED



Thou Shalt Not Kill

.. it has no exceptions

.. it has no asterisks

though polygamous Solomon

born neath wealth's astras..

tried to amend it

with Ecclesiasters



God designed no disasters

for asses or asters

.. by sparks of

His sunlight asterisked as

they make room in the inn

for new neighbors...

an inn where none go astray





pricot's April Apron

After the rain

April spread an apron

of apricot and apple blossoms..

and the sun's applause

became applesauce.



LEOGENESIS



Each moment

is a neogenesis

.. a theogenesis

.. a deogenesis

.. for the earth

a geogenesis

for his soul

a leogenesis





APPLESAUCE



The apple thinks it

not a cross

when he's cored

and made into

applesauce.



Nor does he cry

when made into pie.



But his father

tree..

has feelings

.. and the bees

say leave him

alone to grow





BEES



When blueberry bees

cavort in the breeze

their honey

tastes like blueberries



When peachtree bees

go where they please

their honey tastes

like peaches



When we stop eating honey

we free the bees

to do as they please









**

a British rabbi said many bees are smashed

in the racks.. the wings of the queen bee

are clipped to enslave her

and sometimes whole hives are killed

in the winter that their honey go to humans









SPEARMINT



God does not

inflict pain or

experiment

when healing beings

or growing spearmint.*



*spearmint plants

have a right to live

without being untimely

ripped



WIPE THE CHALICE



I shall wipe

the chalice of

my mind

that it not

pollute the thoughts

of God.

I shall cleanse

the altar of my heart

.. and air

out the shrine

of my soul

that the Divine Lover

indwelling all beings

be able to breathe.









GOLD LIGHT



What is the word

for the radiant lambent

light of evening

which paints

everything

in gold acceptance?



(crepuscular does not sound like the

right word for a different phenomenon:

the parallel bars of light from the sun)









WE LEARN FROM YOU



as a train's light and sound precede

its advent

so you

send light clouds

to melt the cruel

and nets of positive thought

to engulf the violent



DEMOCRATIC ADVENT



When Democrats

are in power

there are fewer

panhandlers

in the panhandle



CHANGE FOR THE GOOD



Replace the

war profiteer

pillagers

who rape

the rural villagers



ALL GOD



He first found power

when authority

he defied

and then found

greater when

all he deified







POTEMKIN SCARECROW



The groundhog

was not dissuaded

by the fierce

scarecrow

not by dog hair

borders

nor by the wire

fence..

and as he crept

into the Godgrown

garden

he ate to his

heart's content

.. left the remains

for the servant

ants to clean up

and with gratitude

in his heart

scurried away



JADE BUDDHA



Does he love more

the carved jade Buddha

.... seated eternally

in cool green meditation



or his infinite compassionate

heart.. confined to no

stone..

no form









EYE OF SHIVA



the moving shakti of high winds

surrounds the immovable eye

of Shiva

Every gust is controlled by Him

He is Mercy Incarnate

.. those freed from the

body by his gusts

exult





PRAYER SHAWL



a wedding veil

does not prevent

a meditation

prayer shawl







CACI, TITAN, BLACKWATER,

SAS, ETC



through torturers'

kicks, sleeplessness,

beatings, intimidation

one can get anyone

into

self incrimination







(Ribs and larynx of tortured victim of Rumsfeld-Wolfowitz-Bushcheney

military have been found in 2 different places: Germany.. autopsy

freezer

and Washington.



the military had contended the evidence was missing.



The crushed larynx and ribs show torture.)









ASKEW



By not polling

younger cellphone users

Even Pew

does toward Bush skew

while Gallup ABC

and Newsweek

respond

to war profiteers' cues

TERESA KERRY



With her energy,

her drive, her discipline,

her universal compassion

.. her Spirit

is it any wonder

they magnetized

to each other.



Her limitless

heart married

to her priority

.

where nearly a million men

died.. based on phony

numbers from Churchill

who lost

his post

as a result. Later as Secretary of War Churchill would be

turned down by the UK cabinet in his request to poison

gas 'the uncivilized tribes' of Iraq and would instead bombmurder

9000. Later still he would direct the bombing of noncombatants

in Dresden as described by Vonnegut in SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE.

Public" Radio Uses GOP PR Masked as pollsters.

TEXAS GOVERNOR



A Texas death

room gurney

is the altar

of political

ambition and desire

on which he

proved

himself

to his father as

he sacrificed

150 innocent, juvenile,

unrepresented, black,

international citizen,

reformed or other

Texans. The world

watched in horror

as the altar

became a gurney

on which Texans

were wheeled to

the American Abu

Ghraib rooms of

state sanctioned

murder.

That was the

beginning of the world's

campaign to remove

him from his

stolen throne.

Yet death was

like an overhead

glass ceiling grid..

occasionally

the metal blocked

the sun's rising..

but soon it

appeared in

new glass chambers

filling them

with light amber.

And the altar

the bloodyred stone

promoted by

Sumner Redstone

will melt away like

an iceberg

in the sea's sway.

gunned

down by him, Senator Cornyn, and others. 81 birds were killed in 1

APPLE APOLOGIA

They wrote an apologia

for maxi apples which they sent

to fragrant Minneapolis..

who returned descendent apple seeds

from Jonathan Chapman Appleseed.



Soon they had

(If your grocer is selling only seedless varieties, please

work to save seeds in our food.. that corporations not control

AMBER ROSE



From ashes of roses

He made her hair

and bequeathed her mistle toes

From angels came her harmoknees

from yes's He made her sweet nose.



Her smile was a rainbow's baby

which had caught and dimpled her cheeks

Portals to infinity

are her firefl-eyes.



Plum hued is one cheek

the other tinted pumpkin

How appropriate you see

for Daddy's little plumpkin.

from umber sunrise

with emeralds from His

embered fires

He made ambrosia

with His Goldenrod

Wanding Violet

of Maryland)



BY LOVE'S POWER



He was a great healer

He had taken on so

many of others' burdens

that



His pain was intense

.. His body sick

His mind agony

great



People's hearts wanted

to grow wings with

which to blanket

him.. and him to shield



as their great love

touched his own

by his love's return power

was he healed



BUTTERNUT AND BUTTERCUP



Held the dew

the concave buttercup

better than

the convex butternut



as listening ears

have healing

in their cups



with what

chalice'd joy

does the buttercup

hold

the liquid sunup





(to J Miller, to L Yost and to others)



DAFFODIL CHALICE





Father winter

.. he did fill

the hopeful cup of

wee daffodil

with the cold

sorbet

of chill

the icing of

snowspill.



But it melted

quickly..

and soon to

the touch of

the sun

the daffodil

did thrill.





**

Al Couch, a Biblical scholar and farmer, took Genesis literally..

that there were no brutal weather patterns on earth when it was

covered with trees.. it is humankind, not God, he thought, who have

created the violence of freezing.





DO FLOWERS CHASE BEES?



Do flowers chase bees?

Does Mother Earth bite?

Do rivers run backwards?

Do

butterflies get speeding tickets? It is to the meditater at the

tree's base and not to the hunter that the gentle deer come.

lilacs bear

it was

century old ailanthus

fronds

which kept

the frost from

tomato plants by the

pond



Ailanthus which had

the cheer and will

to push up through

concrete sidewalk cracks



BAMBOO



The panda wants

bamboo for shoots

The flutist wants

his wood for flutes.

Bamboo himself wants only

to stretch and to

extend his roots.









DANDELION DIASPORA



The rain, weed-wed,

has

multiplied

these

gray haired flakeheads

and now



dandelion seeds float in the air..

by the Bubble Blower sent aloft..

which ones will mystically touchdown..

to root in our hearts?





Not in chaotic shards

do dandelion seeds

burst from their ball.

Each part as perfect

as the whole.

Each each contains

the all.





BEETLE BITTEN BEE BIBBED BLOOMS

LILIES



Lily's body's ashes will someday beneath lilies lie

while her soul to the bereaved sings lullabies





AFROASIAN BEE





Gold and black striped was

an Afroasian bee named Izzy



he kept so very very busy

that his homing sense was dizzy

and his thoughts were in a tizzy



He was asked by empathic

blooms

to breathe deeply of the

field's perfume

.. he did so and relaxed

and found his way home did Izzy



ACORN TOSSED HIS TAM



The acorn tossed off his tam

and exulted in the wind on his crown

.. after he'd been wafted to

earth

by the currents of gentle air.



He noticed that his mother

tree's above ground roots

made a multibranched star.



And the beaded dew

was necklaced

by a stem of grass...



UPON THE SEA OF THE PEOPLE



Upon the sea of the people

does the ruling junta float..

a tiny little autocratic boat..

let it not be unaware

of its illegitimate course



STOP THE COMBINES



Turn the swords into

plowshares and the

plowshares into

gentle harvesting..

that no combine

mowing down column lines

harm the sapling trees

with faithful concubines..

the sweet columbines
