a wintry morning (haiku)

a wintry morning

early in parts for winter

here and say morning

 

 

souls are trapped on Earth

not wanting release because

we like the cages

 

 

I’ll have Dylan rage

I will fight it ‘til I know

only relent’s left

A Crimson Finch has found a nice perch and does not want to share it!

 

Almost Heaven

Almost Heaven

(phrase from artist John Denver)

 

Kanawha, Nicholas,

Greenbrier counties

 

Earth gives way

To water and to fire

In the anger of the

Skies

 

Prometheus surrenders

To the whim of

Dionysus,

 

Touched with the

Power of Poseidon

And sport-attitude

Of Zeus

 

We reach over gods

Toward better

Intercession,

 

Praying for the

Tendril touch that

Holds the earth

And sky

 

And all the heavens

 

Because on land and

Other West Virginia

Lives, an ocean’s

Upheaval falls

 

Drowning, splitting

The ground on

Which we alive yet

Strive to stand
