Metaphors
There certainly are
spicy metaphors of beauty
Venus with or without arms.
exuberant flowers
gorgeous birds.
But nothing thrilling about
the diminutive but cruel shrike.
His colors shine modestly
through the thick fog
of representation.

Challenge: interlude, radio, satellite, voice, history, pregnant
fellow traveler: October 4, 1957
a pregnant pause ensued
an historic interlude
when on radios and tellies
worldwide a somber voice
proclaimed a satellite
innocently named Sputnik
had been deployed hurtling
unseen in orbit ratcheting
up the Cold War tensions
several frisson notches

Challenge: lines, thorough, keys, endow, waterfront, luminous
music once played brightly
ghostliness pervades
a waterfront once graced
thoroughly luminous
with bright halogen lights
endowed further at times
with a full moon which
harbored no monkeyshines
whilst a jazz festival played
much to the delight of
music purist and tagalongs
now gone but for memories

Dark poetry:
Skeletons dance,
swarm in the twilight,
in joyous shakes
then disappear again
in the cupboard.

Tableau with obelisk
The small river basks
in the sun

in the friendly shadows

covered with hieroglyphics
exhibits the image
of an ibex.

Challenge: syntax, alarm, grandeur, farm, haltingly, simp
perfecting the written word
a simple syntax grandeur is
desired in my written works
so as not to cause alarm
from certain word police nits
for I write most haltingly
needing to parse with spell
checkers and their ilk so the
end result upon each page
is replete and full of farm

Challenge: airplane, head, ancient, clouds, evergreen, whilfully
the wisdom of trees
wizened ancient evergreens below
bear witness of the miracles of
modern flight as an airplane takes
its head droning whilfully through
clouds above on a blustery day - they
pondered and pronounced amongst
themselves that sparrows and spotted
owls and pileated woodpeckers are
far better suited for their boughs

Divested of pearls
the indigo blue sea

the continental shores,
waving in wonderous waves,
shedding shallow shells.
