::might need a name

feet upon the roof he is back again
this trouble making bandit of birds
hands exploring world and life again
looking for an in-

he happily gallops from end to end
sounding like one thousand horses
when he stops silence is deafening
broken window beckons-

next chimney calls him to explore, i
yell loudly, /'/no! no! no! naughty boy!/'/
i bang on walls and stomp my feet
his paws hesitate-

so far the bandit has not succeeded
except of 16 chickens only 2 remain
crowing comes from the guestroom
in temporary cage-

now raccoon is at his nightly impase
has tried unsuccessfully all his tricks
silently defeated, footfalls cross above
rain comes down softly.


::suspended animation

time has stopped as i wait for morning
wide awake..... there will be no sleeping
no internet, no tv.... satelites out again
just me, heidi dog, softly falling rain and
this vast unending nothingness of darkness
the forest
the only sound here is the deafening roar of
the computer/'/s motor, a million times louder
than normal
two sounds- like a train inside a waterfall
time sets back today, so one more hour of
torture
as much as i love the solitude of isolation
the freedom from humans, cities, and noises
all the animal life, countless trees, endless
sky
sometimes i feel alienated and far removed
from the world


@->>->--

this is exquisite
life
a masterful piece indeed
for we might only wonder
what those we leave behind will feel
how they will fare- hopefully our
words will keep our breath alive enough
to be remembered
for it is one thing to be kept
alive in a heart- quite another
to be loved long after the last living one who
loves you has perished...

love never dies a natural death


::amarillis

strong steadfast flower
graceful and so beautiful
eloquent, royal, so solitary
very good for at a funeral
why do you stand ever alone
holding your head high above
every one of the others
speaking volumes in your silence
remnants always left in one/'/s
memory of your quiet beauty


::morning breaks

birdsong begins once more
dark slowly replaced by light
first a soft unfocused gray
on this november first day
small spats of sky emerge
as i look upwards through
paper birch tree leaves
voices twitter and call
chirping a symphony

the dangers of night have
all long gone to their beds
yet this writer has not slept
one burning desire to express
as the birds do so
easily


::war on humanity

the war on humanity is ever present
killers finding new ways to torture
it is political, subversive and wrong
peaceful hippies go about their day
ignoring this whilst listening to life
seeing only the good upon the earth
world leaders lean towards socialism
killing freedom in the agenda/'/s process
as oceans are becoming more polluted
humans are thinking only of themselves
sign the petitions, protest, liberals
being offended is the new progress
forgotten are the enslaved in a quest
to encompass everyone, accept except
now conspiracy theorys by the killers
are taken and believed as the new truth


::swedish fish

there are many good things in life
none of which burst upon my pallet
right now besides these delighfully
chewy red candies!
mouth is full to bursting- bag empty
slowly they melt and bring memories
stuck in teeth, plucked out by finger
gone......................................................
washed away by wonderfully hot-
pumpkin spice latte coffee capachino
so satisfying, far more delightful
than anything else in the world!
plane jets overhead as cup runs dry
planes bring memories to one/'/s mind
traveling to other countries- wow!
sights, scents, tastes, textures
cultures, adventure, differences
nothing finer or more fun ever!
until one tiredly comes home and
rediscovers the circle of life-
finding one lone swedish fish.

Oh, I wanted to be there with you as you wrote this depth of humanity. An old dog be our feet, and I'd say nothing. You just write lady, you just write.

My mind went on a journey and all I had to do is sit back and enjoy the view. Splendid indeed.

What a journey, night to morning! If this is insomnia, I want to come along!
You have a gift for slowing time down long enough to write about it, before it escapes unnoticed!
Then you set the table and serve us a feast of moments in sound and technicolor!
You have written a rainbow.
Enchanting and full of affection for life.
How lovely it is to see the world as you do, even for a moment.

::Might need a name
what a clever way to describe the Midnight Chicken Bandit! Sorry to hear that the pesky racoon got most of your chickens =/...but it made for an entertaining poem =)

::suspended animation
This poem makes me long for the solitude and peace you described...i live in a large home off of a main road a few blocks away from an airport and train tracks...

::morning breaks
i absolutely loved the line ""...this writer has not slept one burning desire to express as the birds do so easily"" *sigh* i wish i could write again and that it would come so easily...

::swedish fish
wonderful poem to stimulate the senses. However i caught a spelling error...you have spelled TECTURES when it should be TEXTURES.

As usual i have enjoyed your poetry Nessa! *hugs*...i will need to fill you in on why i have been missing from YPDC for sooooo long

Another masterpiece, the flow, sweet, the words deep, an adventure of poetic rhyme only a great poet like your self could bring to life.

So glad to read you again my dear friend Nessa

One helluva night. It/'/s like a family of poems were being introduced, and I caught a small glimpse of their personalities, and ultimately their hierarchy.
Utterly fascinating /'/Ness.
Thank you for that!
