Stormy
On
The
Last
Day
Of
June.
Planes
Ascend
Through
Crowds
Of
Low
Clouds,
Metal
Wings
Beating
To
Rise
High
Enough
To
Gain
Open
Sky,
And
Escape
Earthly
Rain.

It
Took
Mister
G.
A
Long
While
To
See
No
Angel
Was
Coming,
Strumming
A
Lute,
To
Set
Him
Free,
And
To
Boot,
His
Lofty
Schemes
Would
Never
Bear
Fruit.
No
Fortune
Would
Fall
Into
His
Kick
To
Allow
Him
To
Pick
His
Way
Through
A
Thicket
Of
Doubt
He
Could
Do
Nothing
About,
So
Mister
G.
Took
The
Easy
Way
Out.
Dumped
His
Work
In
The
Trash
And
Made
A
Mad
Dash
To
Escape
His
Fate,
Ran
Into
The
Gate
And
Fell
On
His
Ass.
The
Lesson
Here
Is
Decidedly
Clear.
You
Have
To
Know
Which
Way
To
Go,
But
Mister
G.
Will
Never
Know.

Searching
For
The
Perfect
Word,
Something
Of
Note
Recollected
From
A
Quote,
Or
Overheard
From
A
Nearby
Table,
A
Lyric
Recalled
Just
In
Time
To
Rearrange
Into
A
Rhyme,
Or
Fit
Into
A
Piece
Of
Prose,
Who
Knows?
That’s
How
It
Generally
Goes.
You
Get
On
The
Track,
And
It
All
Comes
Back.

I’m
Holding
Back
Creeping
Age,
That
Great
Down
Sizer,
With
Lots
Of
Pricey
Moisturizer.
Cunning
Arrangements
Of
My
Hair
Disguise
What
Is
No
Longer
There.
All
That
I’ve
Got
Left
Of
Style
Is
In
My
Lopsided
Smile.
I Can’t
Know
The
Public’s
Reaction,
But
I Take
Satisfaction
That
I Still
Remain
Fairly
Active
In
My
Brain.

The
Mighty
Sun,
In
Exhalations
Of
Fire
Burns
The
Land
Drier
As
Dire
Wind
And
Sand
Conspire
To
Rob
The
Air
Of
Water
Stolen
From
The
Trees
And
Streams,
And
Blown
Away
Like
Thirsty
Dreams.

*Iris* 16" H X 12" W Acrylic On Canvas
My
Father
Gravely
Ill,
The
Household
Fractured,
We
Criss
Crossed
The
Country
In
A
Black
Car
No
Longer
Manufactured.
Tall,
Ash
Blond,
A
Wholly
Decent
Man,
We
Wandered
Through
The
South,
Emotionally
Hand
To
Mouth,
Until,
Worn
Out
By
The
Ride,
He
Died.
On
Father’s
Day,
I Think
Of
Him
With
Love,
And
Deep
Respect,
And
With
Great
Pity
For
Fate’s
Neglect
Of
His
Precious
Worth,
To
Lift
Him
To
The
Stars,
Leaving
Me
Alone
On
Earth.

From
My
Room,
I Can
See
The
Mimosa
Tree
In
Bloom.
Scentless
Blossoms
Fade
And
Fall
To
Gather
In
Clusters
Against
The
Wall,
Or
Blow
Away
In
Feathery
Flight,
As
If
They
Might
Seed
The
Struggling
Earth
And
Be
Of
Lasting
Worth.

*Nickolai Petrovich Bogdanov-belsky
Measured
Words
Are
Never
Wrong
When
Bent
To
Fit
A
Treasured
Song,
Or
Distilled
Into
Metered
Verse.
Certainly,
I Could
Do
Worse
Than
Scatter
Syllables
That
Matter,
When
Voices
Rise
To
Sing
A
Lilting,
Subtle,
Rhyming
Thing,
And
Gently
Pluck
The
Heart’s
String.

Beauty
Unfurls
Like
A
Flag,
As
Music
Rises
In
Devout
Praise
To
Lift
Us
From
Our
Humdrum
Days,
Sweet
Jubilation
Of
No
Nation
But
Godlike
Humanity
All
Around,
In
Perfected,
Exquisite,
Sound.

*Lisa Purvin Oliner*
In
The
Shrubbery
Here
And
There,
Silver
Spider
Stairs
Swing
In
Brisk
Morning
Air,
Soon
Falling
Into
Disrepair,
But
The
Spider
Does
Not
Care,
And
Spins
Another
Silken
Strand
To
Safely
Land
And
Slyly
Pose
Upon
The
Petals
Of
The
Rose.
