Who put the ladder there?
I’d like to know.
*
But there the apple and there the tree
And there the child, who looks at me.

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.
Goblin Summer Song (69 Words)
God is singing in the summer
Rolling out the leaves of green
Straightening the little weedlings
And spreading every songbird’s wing.
Reflection (74 Words)
O looking back the way I came,
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.
Sailing Love Song (54 Words)
Fly away, fly away
Bird on the breeze
Bring him this message
My love on the seas—
Blue Dancing (78 Words)
Dancing with you, love,
Is all my delight
On a fine deep blue evening
When the sky is alight
Banners Fly (107 Words)
I like to see a banner fly
Proud beneath the unfurled sky
Yet all its show can’t match the glow
In my dear’s dark and shining eye.
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.
The Clock (81 Words)
Were I the motion, hammer of the mind
I should by motion my free thought express—
And through the idle moments left in wind
Would meter action to a timed distress.
