[Design for a Tapestry Art Print by Joan Miró]

 How Wonderousq

Assuming sunrise is diligent,

And birdsongs causally rehearsed,

The pleasant morning scheduled,

Can never dissapoint those clouds,

Held there in maplike sequences


A jet plane and its passengers,

Held there in secured suspension,

Follows the paths of rightful sky,

Adopted for moving through air and time


Arrival in good timing,

Is foremost on the minds,

Of these temporary early sky dwellers,

High up above in the heavens,

Them above and clouds below,

How wonderous life is at times.

[The Cave Art Paintings of the Lascaux Cave; from google]

Word From The Sage

 Ah, but the Starpainters are taking over now, you have nothing to worry about, said the  wise old sage to the group huddled together in the dark cave, for months now.

He knew by instinct,  and innate sage wisdom, the time to venture out had come. It was time to face the night sky, to smile with the moon, to slumber, be refreshed, rise and enter a new day

However Love
The bamboo patch was their backdrop,
He swore he adored her,
She was a bit skeptical,
However,
She let him kiss her hand,
The flowers were fresh and perfumed,
Tied in a pretty bouquet,
She didn't expect this gift,
He thought she deserved it,
Sweetly sang birds,
In the plum blossom.

[quote courtesy dVerse Poets Pub]

 Life Lessons

Seconds, minutes, hours,

They dance their choreography,

Now you try it,

And; one, two, three,

Plié, relevé, plié.


Some of us capsize

At the last plié,

Some of us never rose

At the relevé,


Life is like that,

A strict harsh teacher,

Never stopping to cuddle,

Ever shouting the instructions,

To rise, drop, rise again.


At the relevé,

You should breathe,

That's you cuddling you,

Or you'll stay capsized,

On the floor.


The rhythm is:

One, two, three,

Plié, relevé, plié,

Gracefully, now.

Xenolith Silly


Xenolith

Xenolith

Where art thou, without a wit


Xenolith

Xenolith

I thought i heard a bird, a twit


Xenolith

Xenolith

Come now say you'd sit with it 


Xenolith

Xenolith

A rock a sediment to wit


Oh Xenolith

Truly you are it ,

You are it.

[Apple of discord by Ramaz Razmadze 2002 from google]

 Buenos dias,

When did night creep in

Like a stallion's gallop,

Hope can swim too,

Even if butterflies are end product,

Run run skip hop jump,

The reason romance fails is,

The heart always never  wins,

Where goes greed?

Tomorrow,

To another man's party.

Stone soup, 

Ever the lie of travellers,

Hungry on the wellbeaten paths

The nerve of pages to hold solid

Ever existing, read and reread

Cooked in community

The commas between puns and similies

The question marks at the end

Of each ingredient lesson

The innate message carried

Cradeled as lullabyes

 In the early evening;[

Stone soup, 

Who can eat that.

Only the sharp minded

Spinning myths to a community of strangers

Hungry for the generousity of a blessing

Maybe stone soup can be shared to understanding

Maybe stone soup can be eaten to satisfaction
