5am, I sit alone my mind feeling so bright is it early morning or the middle of the night. The wind still howls winters tune and trees are dancing in the dale. I yearn for sun and summers warmth but all I get is cold and hail. So comeback Mr Sunshine please to keep me warm and give me ease. The winters blues do not please, just make me shiver, cough and sneeze. The days start dark and keep me hidden as if to say that it's forbidden, to laugh and sing and have the fun I get from walking in the sun. So comeback Mr Sunshine please to keep me warm and give me ease. The winters blues do not please, just make me shiver, cough and sneeze. I long to see the flowers smile, the shadows form on my sundial. The smell of grass that's freshly mown, the shoots from seeds so freshly sown. So comeback Mr Sunshine please to keep me warm and give me ease. The winters blues do not please, just make me shiver, cough and sneeze. Smiling children everywhere running around without a care. Winter woollens stashed away and let's forget those rainy days. So comeback Mr Sunshine please to keep me warm and give me ease. The winters blues do not please, just make me shiver, cough and sneeze. Take away this winters cold it only makes me feel old. Bring the sun and bring the light and take away this awful night. So comeback Mr Sunshine please to keep me warm and give me ease. The winters blues do not please, just make me shiver, cough and sneeze. Early morning sun please shine, and as I sit with glass of wine. I'll try to not let my mind splinter and forget all about the winter. So comeback Mr Sunshine please to keep me warm and give me ease. The winters blues do not please, just make me shiver, cough and sneeze. So comeback Mr Sunshine please and take away this cold disease. Once again to see you glow and throw your warmth through my window.

Comeback Mr Sunshine
5am, I sit alone my mind feeling so bright is it early morning or the middle of the night. The wind still howls winters tune and trees are dancing in the dale. I yearn for sun and summers warmth but all I get is cold and hail. So comeback Mr Sunshine please to keep me warm and give me ease. The winters blues do not please, just make me shiver, cough and sneeze. The days start dark and keep me hidden as if to say that it's forbidden, to laugh and sing and have the fun I get from walking in the sun. So comeback Mr Sunshine please to keep me warm and give me ease. The winters blues do not please, just make me shiver, cough and sneeze. I long to see the flowers smile, the shadows form on my sundial. The smell of grass that's freshly mown, the shoots from seeds so freshly sown. So comeback Mr Sunshine please to keep me warm and give me ease. The winters blues do not please, just make me shiver, cough and sneeze. Smiling children everywhere running around without a care. Winter woollens stashed away and let's forget those rainy days. So comeback Mr Sunshine please to keep me warm and give me ease. The winters blues do not please, just make me shiver, cough and sneeze. Take away this winters cold it only makes me feel old. Bring the sun and bring the light and take away this awful night.

Over hill, over dale, Thorough bush, thorough brier, Over park, over pale, Thorough flood, thorough fire, I do wander everywhere, Swifter than the moonè’s sphere; And I serve the fairy queen, To dew her orbs upon the green: The cowslips tall her pensioners be; In their gold coats spots you see; Those be rubies, fairy favours, In those freckles live their savours: I must go seek some dew-drops here, And hang a pearl in every cowslip’s ear.

Fairy Land I
Honest, that meaningless word left dangling before children, a damoclean sword held fast in a gordian knot tied with scarlet thread, finer than the spider's that once tied men's souls to an angry American God, birthed in Transylvania, over the woods, and through the dale, no lie There is a tale of lies told in Nobel houses, never reachin' ground, Down here, we situations manifested to, vain, again, stem the tide, We flounder, fish out of water, why are we sent if wait he hears, he listens, haps he knows, and how such as we came to be here, Welcome and see, dare ye ask me in? Might I ply you with lies and you, believe 'em? I could make a mindless robot out of your parts, but that would take forever and that's not how Wisdom's child would tend to be, for first, You must believe a lie and I, amusing as can be, can't tell lies. Discernment, fine points, per-spicacity per se, the only way. Good luck (Luc, said luck in many tongues, is said Lose- as in Luc-ifer. It means light, as in light, regular old granted light.) Lightifier, good, take some, good light, for the travail, in the night. You see, not so long ago, for me, five years before I'as born, my momma moved to town. What was that like, I axed my old uncle, while back, movin' t'town, in 1943? Well, he says, We had electricity. USA, 1943, some folks still was poor, and all the good men was gone to war. Cities, it was different, if the movies got it right, Bowry Boys, n'em. In the desert we did, okeh, in town, though, we had electricity. He was ten back then. He'd been huntin' rabbit's, to buy Christmas presents from Sears and Roebucks, since he was five. C'mon, I say. No lie, he say, BLM or some gover'ment whatsajigger, was payin' 2 cents a pair fer jack rabbit ears. 'Said he bought Christmas presents for his mom and dad, and my mom, with his first rabbit money, at five. Shootin' with a single-shot 22, 12 cents a box, Jack Rabbits, 2 cents a head. Three Christmas presents, plus postage, $2.56. Do the math, I think, and go - Five years old, at ten, he moves to town, 1943, we had electricity. That's all.

Now the bright morning Star, Dayes harbinger, Comes dancing from the East, and leads with her The Flowry May, who from her green lap throws The yellow Cowslip, and the pale Primrose. Hail bounteous May that dost inspire Mirth and youth, and warm desire, Woods and Groves, are of thy dressing, Hill and Dale, doth boast thy blessing. Thus we salute thee with our early Song, And welcom thee, and wish thee long.

Song On May Morning
*I stopped by for a cigarette and to hear a story He always told the tale of one eyed molly She lost her eye In a fight with a dog The moral of the story was Never trust something Just because it may look harmless, Even act harmless But this day he told me another tale The one of old Lumberjack Dale* He was large like an ogre Chopped too many trees to know of Was stupid according to my uncle This gave me quite a chuckle He left off, on a normal morning Hiked up the mountain To where the clear dirt’s mourning Held his axe and began to swing The trees didn't have a prayer He thought he was king One fell down He yelled "TIMBER" Another smacked the ground He Yelled "TIMBER" Then another and Another Birds were scattering Squirrels were flying The sounds were of a madman grunting through fire "TIMBER" The fifth hit the ground The lumberjack ogre Had to sit down He swung one too many times, on this here day The mountain swung back with a black bear, ok? Protecting her cubs she wrestled the big man Teeth in his arm and his axe in his hand He squinted his eyes and flung the weapon Missing the giant bear standing about 6' 11" The mountain whispered to the lumberjack "Leave and never come back" He had ****** his pants and ran for the shack "TIMBER" The old black bear followed Protecting her land And the ones she adored

Lumberjack Dale
A life in poetry, A love in art Set forth on a path that extends forever. Though the closest reaches climb high Over mountain and dale, through ravine and shadow, The path goes on and as it does, descends into light: So much light, more light than one can resolve. It blurs the boundaries of the great valley Splashes of green, the wonderful glare of richness A river runs through the valley and nourishes the fruit The sweetest fruit. It nourishes the body, Nourishes the soul: renews, enriches, grows, sustains. The path extends to the horizon. And beyond. As it grows from the foothills it branches Forming a fractal road of possibility. Like roots growing from the mountain, There appears nothing more natural in the world. As the paths go on, they passes through diverse landscapes Some places they make sharp changes in direction, Some places they pass through further patches of shadow, Some places they grow wider, Some places they get rocky, But nowhere does the path narrow, beyond the first stretch, Where the paths split, and over the mountains rejoin. Beyond that there is always enough room for two To walk astride. Side by Side in Sunlight. Hand in Hand. For Maya. Donald Guy July 5, 2010.

I'm startin' to run out of nursery rhymes So, I made up one of my own It's about a nearsighted plumber That was accidently glued to his throne Once upon a time, long, long ago There was a plumber, who I'll call Dale Poor old Dale had a hard time plumbing Cause he really couldn't see very well He'd gotten a call, "The toilet won't flush! Please, can you come right away?" Well, old Dale got in such a hurry He forgot to take his glasses that day Well, by the time old Dale had got there The house was in quite a mess He realized he'd forgotten his glasses But he'd give that toilet his best He'd not seen this since plumbing school But then, he only saw it on a test And by the time, he got his tools together The water was starting to crest He had spotted the problem right away But remember now, he can only half see The water was squirtin' six feet high And poor Dale was only five foot three He laid his glue on the toilet seat While trying his best not to drown He couldn't see where he put it at And, of course, that's where he sat down He didn't even know 'till it was too late He'd bent over to loosen a nut And that's when he first noticed that thing The toilet was glued to his **** So, if you ever need a real good plumber He's the man for the job, without fail And I hope you enjoyed this story About the nearsighted plumber named Dale I forgot tell you, there's one more thing About the nearsighted plumber named Dale That man still has that toilet seat For the thing's still glued to his tail © All Rights Reserved

Daydreamer waiting for her surprise She's always sitting on the bench outside Watching through the golden glasses She sees through her eyes a world that unties Beautiful creatures and where love prevails She always wonder why her beauty does not impales As she holds so many wonders A sweetness in her bright almond eyes, behind the glasses that sat crookedly on her nose She focused her eyes on a flat prairie Where the unaccustomed eye sees only ordinary In hers, the dale was a beautiful swathe of shiny green grasses Trees are clothed in delicious cream and pink blossom Jasmines dancing to the winds, choreographing autumn breeze The sun casting its last golden rays Changing its yellow into hues of tangerine and fire red Her perfect world, she whispers She is a daydreamer With eyes so full of love that will make you melt She is beauty and love Looking at her shadow slowly shrinking down her feet Only her can see the magic You will find her outside Waiting for the man to share the same picturesque landscape Seeing her reflection on him just like a mirror Sharing a moment, a smile, a touch, a gaze Closing their eyes to a slow and soft kiss Alas; she is still waiting on this Waiting to meet him flesh and bones Dreaming about it everyday This love she's never met, Yet she seems to glimpse him in every corner And because of it, her heart craves for blossoming flower Her heart is bound to a fictional imagery of him Creating imaginary moments and opportunities Clinging to a false sign that precipitates desires The desire to lay her eyes on him and feel his lips on hers The desire to feel her body shivers with his skin on hers The desire to feel his heart beating to her caress the rush in her veins, with just his look She will be an eternal daydreamer Until she finds him sitting on the bench outside for her For an eternity of love

When the voices of children. are heard on the green And whisprings are in the dale: The days of my youth rise fresh in my mind, My face turns green and pale. Then come home my children. the sun is gone down And the dews of night arise Your spring & your day. are wasted in play And your winter and night in disguise.

Nurses Song (Experience)
The full moon caught a glimpse where the billowed clouds parted Saucer size Dogwood blossoms echoed an urging reflection through wide open window ; the diffused moonlight reached in touching the open palms enduring in an empty void lay down beside Softly burnished reflections lighten blanched flesh petals swaying in the wakened      spring cadence Rhinestone memories tethered from somewhere above ; as if manipulating puppet strings dangling down through the seesaw cloud gap ― scattering candlelit sequins like unmapped constellations brushed by the moonlight in the dale of your leafless ******* The fragrant breeze of your memory gathers a sweetest taste, teasing wishful thirsty lips into a gentle smile ... Tracing unbounded memories with wandering fingertips  upon your intimate canvas oasis in my mind Fallen petals floating gently across still waters induced by whispered breeze ; quiet reminders that ripple the mesmerizing silence with the lonely breath an unheard evanescent sigh   The open window let the moonlight in, illuminating lingering shadows of the past ... you feel the waft of spring breathe ... but you just can't help where the wind blows Jesse e. Stillwater

Que voluntad tiene el humano De cambiar su alrededor Como se puede crear algo Que ayude a cambiar al mundo Algún mensaje que difundo Que se trate de lo que sea Basado en lo que esta afuera O lo que pasa por mis venas Porque no todos sienten No todos son honestos Ignoran al pasado Y no corrigen sus errores El pasado no perdona Los sentimientos agobian Y las cosas que pasan Las convierto en historias Es mi hobbie favorito Me desahogo sin piedad Escribir es la única opción Para calmar esta ansiedad Que en oportunidades surge Y honestamente no la espero Pero me da creatividad Para hacer con las palabras lo que quiero Plasmar en un lienzo De una manera u otra Todo lo que pienso Y nadie puede estar en mi contra Después de este proceso Entro en neutralidad Todo el amor u odio a algo Fue expulsado con inteligencia Y en cuenta se debe tomar Porque es mucho mejor Hacer rimas sin parar Que dañar algo por rabia temporal La importancia de la palabra Es mayor que el de las balas Menor que los hechos Pero están relacionadas Te pueden asustar Enojar Destruir Humillar Alegrar Hacer recordar Y sobre todo, enamorar Porque es tal el poder de la palabra Que cambia a la gente Pueden quedarse en la historia Y duran para siempre Asi que si el propósito del humano Es cambiar al mundo Dale uso poético a tu vida Y crea un efecto único y clásico La reflexión.

El poder de la palabra.
Swift swallows sailing from the Spanish main, O rain-birds racing merrily away From hill-tops parched with heat and sultry plain Of wilting plants and fainting flowers, say-- When at the noon-hour from the chapel school The children dash and scamper down the dale, Scornful of teacher's rod and binding rule Forever broken and without avail, Do they still stop beneath the giant tree To gather locusts in their childish greed, And chuckle when they break the pods to see The golden powder clustered round the seed?

Homing Swallows
See the various Poems the scene of which is laid upon the banks of the Yarrow; in particular, the exquisite Ballad of Hamilton beginning— Busk ye, busk ye, my bonny, bonny Bride, Busk ye, busk ye, my winsome Marrow! From Stirling castle we had seen The mazy Forth unravelled; Had trod the banks of Clyde, and Tay, And with the Tweed had travelled; And when we came to Clovenford, Then said my “winsome Marrow,” “Whate’er betide, we’ll turn aside, And see the Braes of Yarrow.” “Let Yarrow folk, frae Selkirk town, Who have been buying, selling, Go back to Yarrow, ’tis their own; Each maiden to her dwelling! On Yarrow’s banks let her herons feed, Hares couch, and rabbits burrow! But we will downward with the Tweed Nor turn aside to Yarrow. “There’s Galla Water, Leader Haughs, Both lying right before us; And Dryborough, where with chiming Tweed The lintwhites sing in chorus; There’s pleasant Tiviot-dale, a land Made blithe with plough and harrow: Why throw away a needful day To go in search of Yarrow? “What’s Yarrow but a river bare, That glides the dark hills under? There are a thousand such elsewhere As worthy of your wonder.” —Strange words they seemed of slight and scorn; My True-love sighed for sorrow; And looked me in the face, to think I thus could speak of Yarrow! “Oh! green,” said I, “are Yarrow’s holms, And sweet is Yarrow flowing! Fair hangs the apple frae the rock, But we will leave it growing. O’er hilly path, and open Strath, We’ll wander Scotland thorough; But, though so near, we will not turn Into the dale of Yarrow. “Let beeves and home-bred kine partake The sweets of Burn-mill meadow, The swan on still St. Mary’s Lake Float double, swan and shadow! We will not see them; will not go, To-day, nor yet to-morrow; Enough if in our hearts we know There’s such a place as Yarrow. “Be Yarrow stream unseen, unknown! It must, or we shall rue it: We have a vision of our own; Ah! why should we undo it? The treasured dreams of times long past, We’ll keep them, winsome Marrow! For when we’er there, although ’tis fair, ’Twill be another Yarrow! “If Care with freezing years should come, And wandering seem but folly,— Should we be loth to stir from home, And yet be melancholy; Should life be dull, and spirits low, ’Twill soothe us in our sorrow, That earth has something yet to show, The bonny holms of Yarrow!”

honoring the glass artistry of Dale Chihuly A rainbow of serrated globes, Friends to the water lilies, Floats in a sculptured pool. A surreal yellow glass Medusa Woven through a white crescent trellis Gleams in the midday sun. Choirs of chrysanthemums Sing with multicolored flora Blown from molten soda, lime and sand. Sheltered in a geodesic tropics Orange herons stand on legs of glass Amid living palms, bamboo and wild orchids. Towering blue spires Lift skyward out of the soil While butterflies dance In the misty veil of a waterfall. Nature and the shimmering world within Happily converge in the florid vision Of an effervescent man with a patched eye - A man called Chihuly. October, 2006

Garden of Glass
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure-dome decree: Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man Down to a sunless sea. So twice five miles of fertile ground With walls and towers were girdled round: And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills, Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree; And here were forests ancient as the hills, Enfolding sunny spots of greenery. But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover! A savage place! as holy and enchanted As e’er beneath a waning moon was haunted By woman wailing for her demon-lover! And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething, As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing, A mighty fountain momently was forced: Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail, Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher’s flail: And ’mid these dancing rocks at once and ever It flung up momently the sacred river. Five miles meandering with a mazy motion Through wood and dale the sacred river ran, Then reached the caverns measureless to man, And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean: And ’mid this tumult Kubla heard from far Ancestral voices prophesying war! The shadow of the dome of pleasure Floated midway on the waves; Where was heard the mingled measure From the fountain and the caves. It was a miracle of rare device, A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice! A damsel with a dulcimer In a vision once I saw: It was an Abyssinian maid, And on her dulcimer she played, Singing of Mount Abora. Could I revive within me Her symphony and song, To such a deep delight ’twould win me That with music loud and long I would build that dome in air, That sunny dome! those caves of ice! And all who heard should see them there, And all should cry, Beware! Beware! His flashing eyes, his floating hair! Weave a circle round him thrice, And close your eyes with holy dread, For he on honey-dew hath fed And drunk the milk of Paradise.

And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething, As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing, A mighty fountain momently was forced: Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail, Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher’s flail: And ’mid these dancing rocks at once and ever It flung up momently the sacred river. Five miles meandering with a mazy motion Through wood and dale the sacred river ran, Then reached the caverns measureless to man, And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean: And ’mid this tumult Kubla heard from far Ancestral voices prophesying war! The shadow of the dome of pleasure Floated midway on the waves; Where was heard the mingled measure From the fountain and the caves. It was a miracle of rare device, A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice! A damsel with a dulcimer In a vision once I saw: It was an Abyssinian maid, And on her dulcimer she played, Singing of Mount Abora. Could I revive within me Her symphony and song, To such a deep delight ’twould win me That with music loud and long I would build that dome in air, That sunny dome! those caves of ice! And all who heard should see them there, And all should cry, Beware! Beware! His flashing eyes, his floating hair! Weave a circle round him thrice, And close your eyes with holy dread, For he on honey-dew hath fed And drunk the milk of Paradise.

Shropshire the outback of hives and mires A birthplace of industrial revolution Built with ***** iron and bricks submerged in the depths of the water beds Shropshire the strength in the metal structure A cast of firm shields and fields The greenery of contrasting yellowy yields A mirage of hills sat on pillar heights The breeze so fresh as sun prints on the canal The warmth so intense as the bird hums in the nests Labour artisans and metalsmith at the heart of coalbrook dale Bricks aisles of pathways along the river Bordered by vintage delicacies of the magnificent nature

. A man has a wolf, a goat and a head of cabbage. While traveling, the group comes to a river's edge. The river is wide with a swift current. The man obtains a very small boat/raft, floating thing. So small in fact he can only take one of the three at one time. Here is the problem. If he takes the cabbage, the wolf would surely eat the goat. But if he takes the wolf, the goat would surely eat the head of cabbage. How can he get himself, the wolf, the goat and the head of cabbage all safely across the river to the other side? Take a moment and try to figure it out then read my little story to help you along. Have fun and I'll see you on the other side of the river. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ***There once was a man from Afghanistan with his wolf, some cabbage and goat set forth to cross the desert remote they trudged for days on end, maybe as long as a week whew!! the smell of that cabbage **** did it wreak over dunes and hills to a mountain's ledge which lead them down to the river's edge. Now the wolf was a master over hill and dale but crossing the river, he would surely fail with cabbage as baggage and a goat that won't float he knew in an instant, he needed a boat. He stammered, and scratched and pondered awhile he couldn't decipher how they could all cross The Nile He grabbed a few pieces of floating wood and lashed them together a tight as he could He stared at his float, then peered the wolf, back to the float then to the goat, Hum, with cabbage, wolf and goat to tote he prayed to his God, I need a small boat Then all of sudden sand blew in his eye and a rumbling voice came out of the sky F- E- R- R- Y Now everyone knows that wolf eats goat and a goat will eat anything especially cabbage But did you know that nothing rhymes with cabbage and wolf, except for wolf and cabbage blah blah blhababage. So there my friends the problem is solved if you are able to postulate. Just carefully follow these simple steps one, through six, seven and eight.*** 1. take the goat over 2. come back get cabbage 3. take cabbage over 4. bring goat back 5. leave goat 6. take the wolf over 7. come back, get goat 8. take goat over again

No one's perfect, a truth that's always told But goal and motivation is his stepping stone Short term and lifelong sets made him so mold Now he's infront of the crowd, sharing his story alone Giving inspiration to maidens and lad Showing the angle of sociology that life is fair Life is unfair to him, life is unfair to her so don't be too sad You're not the only one who has a problem to bare He also pointed out inequality and discrimination How it blocks the bridge for other races How it removes peace and harmony to His creation And gives them lesson on how to live with other faces Demonstrating how to nurture the plants Striking to everyone the beauty of every tree Realizing that nature is best and independent It could survive without us humans who's killing it continuously Encouraging them to go out of the world Stepping out of the front door of their comfort zone Letting them know the lenses and view of words Giving them the experiences that the society can provide like what's in Dale's cone

*Snowflakes of joy falling from the sky, Snowflakes of joy falling from the clouds way up high, Hear the children's laughter echoing in the dale; And the sky is wearing it's lacy veil. Snowballs flying through the sky, Singing birds through the air fly, Snowflakes of joy dancing on the street; Waltzing to the sound of pattering feet. Snowflakes of gladness dancing on my window, Watch the happy children playing in the snow, Snowballs flying through the sky; And the clouds smile down from their home on high. Snowflakes of joy silently falling down, Dancing and waltzing on the snow-covered ground, Snowflakes of peace falling from the sky; Singing birds in the air doth fly.* ~Marian~

Tree of proto-monkeys, brand and banded under Monkey King, so clever, so adaptive in substance and doing - mushrooming in variants: lemurs, monkeys old and new, orangutans, gorillas, chimps, and one big bushy brood of extincted ***** brothers and you. Trekking upright into dale, valleys and over hills too sore in feet to image dragging a knuckle or two. Scavengers making way, scanning for patterns in food moving or not, adaptive doing from fin to opposable rock.
