POETRY HELPS THIS GARDEN VARIETY HI BRED
   TO SUBLIMATE UNMET ****** NEEDS PER ME
WHETHER CASUAL OR INTIMATE -
   WORDS HELP RELEASE ANGST
   FOISTED UP UNWITTING READER
   TO SOW SEED CONNECTION
   PERHAPS EVOLVING INTO
   A PHYSICAL RAPPORT WITH NATURAL X2C.
------------------------------------------------------------­--
    homage to simple pleasures
   like health of body, mind n spirit at base
within fit ethereal, dye ****** corporeal being that doth encase
in tandem with unspoilt terrestrial grace
i decided to share three poetic endeavors
   for a change of pace
images thee can imagine and trace.

MOTHER NATURE’S SUPREME DISPLAY ™

A strand of pearls clung to slender tree limbs
bejeweled woody flora prismatic orbs
tell tale sign recent cloudburst cleft darkened heavens
rained watery life source liquid
downpour laced branched canopy
awash with molecular droplets
requisite to feed burlesque Vaudeville bluster
exquisite gala performance unrehearsed

unscripted ubiquitous theatrical performance
received limitless encores toward Gaia screenwriter
whose infinite scope
(wrought upon the natural landscape palette)
exceeds the finite abilities of those bipedal *******
human organisms imbued, whose dilettante debut
(dawned these last seconds on clock face of geologic history)
might witness curtain call on their final act.

MARQUEE MOTIF ™

Neon lights broadcast sold out show of one Matthew Scott
expert stage craft presents quotidian  shows without sound
sole audience  forcibly revisits this biography performance
private owner lifetime supply of entire stock season tickets

(to one smash box office hit after another improvisational)
lightning speed mime hologram flashes life capsule oeuvre
corpus trials and tribulations indelibly recorded upon spool
sibilant auditory oohs and ahs from vindictive ultimatum

only one take each scene despite personal abysmal reviews
and serious consideration to hire professional management
accompanying actor, director, producer, projectionist writer
kept preserved upon cranial medium - so called gray matter

extant within the guarded and private repository Fort Knox
until the eventual disintegration from cumulative memories
become totally obscured with the thickening fogs of old age
and the curtain comes down on the final act upon  mortality!

IS IT A HAVEN OF BLISS?
OR IS IT A DEATH KISS?
IS IT A BLITHESOME GAMUT OF LIFE
OR A GLIMPSE NOW OUT OF SIGHT
IS IT A SPARK IN THE AIR
OR IS IT A JOLT FOR WHICH YOU CAN'T DARE
IS IT A SPLASH SPREADING AROUND
OR THE MITES PRESENT ON THE GROUND
R THESE GLORIOUS MOMENTS OF THE PAST
OR THE DREADFUL DREAMS WHICH AWAY WE CAN'T CAST
WHAT IS THIS WALKING IN MY MIND?
WHAT IS THIS YET I AM UNABLE TO FIND?

It’s imposable to comprehend,

The Gamut of anything,

But I believe, with art,

We can at least begin.
