River Road (100 words)

The running road runs like a river
Through the flowers and the loam;
The one road that I desire
Is the road that’s running home.

Rolling out the leaves of green
Straightening the little weedlings
And spreading every songbird’s wing.

I found my future much the same;
The dreams short-lived, the shadows tall,
Still one true Light above it all.

Amorphous
Summer’s lease is short
But if he had compared her
To a cloud we’d know
It was true for clouds
Somehow are never
The same but always
Changing under
Under the eye
And yet
They are always
Just the same
As a
Song.

Seaside Song (131 Words)
Was a sailor, sailor lad
Fell into the salty brine
Hit his head and caught his legs
In seaweed thick and tough as twine.
A mermaid fair with curling hair
Saw him drowning in the deep
Cut him free and brought him low
To her coral home for sleep.

And through the idle moments left in wind
Would meter action to a timed distress.

Farewell, my friend, a new day’s come,
With midnight so must I be gone,
Like specter to his lonely grave,
Now bedward go we, saints and knaves.
