Upon the sparkling, April field (Leeroy von Nebulae)


Upon the sparkling April field, where the bell-flowers blossomed,

two poets stood amid the blooms, two writers of pure wisdom,

meanwhile, the birds exalted them, cause deep in verse have fathomed

and treated poetry like none, with gallantry and rhythm.


And as the birds were chirping in the leafage of the forest

the two composers synthesized the crop of thoughts that random

became their poetry's free verse, philosophy, thus, modest,

the scriptures called bankrupted talk and artlessness of flotsam.


The authors, thus, beneath the birds and vervains purple colors,

narrated 'bout the pepper steaks and pizzas pepperoni,

the grayish donkeys and their bray, through softened words of candor

conduced, hence, this spectacle and joyous ceremony.


What was occurring round the two was godly sent, on purpose;

the softened breeze, the sunny morn, the singing of the birdies,

and furthermore, their chosen verse that both believed was flawless,

- the soul's redemption stands upon the praising by the toadies.


Obtusely boosting, slow and firm , their tilted thoughts euphoric

have driven both to fly above this natural assemblage,

hence joyfully enjoined some logic anti-strophic,

amid the clouds envisioning a pizza-Heaven-cottage.


Leeroy von Nebulae y Pitter Patter Supernova

expressed the nothingness of verse, the donkeys, then, recited

and stood impassively in the blooms, their thoughts a dull cadenza,

evaluated by the birds, that chirped their notes, astounded.

Gunwale Shades In The Breeze

Gunwale Shades In The Breeze

The breeze evoked the fading light;
opaque the molecules of air
along the brae addressed the night
returning beasts and men to lair.

The faded song's transmitted strain,
defined on memories to last,
unable phase was to obtain
responses to its quest's recast.

Chrysanthemums that turned to shades,
perfumed the night on minds to nest,
she laughed! (His entity evades
to be the solitude's best guest) .

Bespoken vows abounded met,
inside the breeze, the sea's motif,
upon the maps, trips incomplete
became, a shoreline and a reef.

So solemn was their fate of e'er
- the passing breeze and yearly count
became a memory and fare
to rise upon a rocky mount.

The sea, like mistress, hence, embraced
his soul of nautilus that fled
inside the breeze while stars had graced
the gunwale cold that hurt and bled.

Her wraith induced his soul to free,
invited dancer to the fair,
eternal guest and cedar tree
while void in front absorbed his stare.

(Iambic tetrameter)
