Summer for thee, grant I may be
When Summer days are flown!
Thy music still, when Whipporwill
And Oriole—are done!

For thee to bloom, I’ll skip the tomb
And row my blossoms o’er!
Pray gather me—
Anemone—
Thy flower—forevermore!
Across a looking glass pond -
facing zephyr music revelry
Atop paint-by-number artworks , leaves
in brotherhood with perfect rainbows ,
shine on midday tall 'Lantern of God' ,
ruminations of a change in season , of
eventide convocations with the North Star
and frosted narrows , October operas of
wind carillon and songbird , golden bottom
land misty coming of nightfall , the sconce
of The Little Dipper and Orion , of woodland
diapason , timely Whipporwill and Thrush* ...

Night
Coleman M Lowe May 2021
Nothing is as lonesome as the night.
The stars are burning dim,
As the whipporwill calls.
A tear streaks my face,
as his call tears my heart.
As the weight of the moon,
Presses me down to the earth.,
I cry out for help,
With a voice that makes no sound.
The weight of the world,
Keeps me pressed to the ground.
The crickets chirp,
And,
The tree frogs sing.
And above it all,
I hear the whipporwills.....
Plaintive call

I don't like George F. Will
Lifelong American racist ray
A beautiful mind is a lifelong thrill
My sons callooh! callay!

Moroccan mint tea, A.P. Hill
San Francisco Zen
Zen Center still is silent still

Never been to whipporwill
Been to San Anton
Dr. Thomas, first name Bill
The Green Flash found in Rome

I said to her if looks could ****
George Will would be quite dead
Hummingbirds near my windowsill
Wonder where I'll be led?
