Uptown Daisies

1,2,3,

Downtown Maybe's

if you please

​

Country bumpkins

never ruled out rhyme

they'd rather sing and tap in time

​

Pansey's peril

cold as ice

She'll hard frost over

ever clear, even

...thrice

​

Birches bushes conifer's tunes

Pinesap roils in coldest plumes

Pine rows, wind breaks

on farmers land

protecting crops

​

nature's pefection...

is-land

​

​

Country lanes arrive on dirt roads

Kind to deer, and lark, and toad

​

Honeysuckle vines so wild

line old roads for country miles

Their sweetest centers perfume the land

Their white bonnets bow down

 to bugs and birds

A purr of 'hummers' and other herds

to pollenate and grace our crops

with bountiful harvests to share and shop

​

Bayou's flow in rainy seasons

like paddle boats through river towns

Dangerous waters oft reign nigh

for plow and hearth and you and I

​

Rock of ages, rock of gold

river rocks and bluffs don't take notes

they speak of ancient tides 

long ago

​

Past kingdoms for naught were never better

Nature's blush

Nature's sweater

Mother...

nature's  

always better

​

Information Bombs

Poem by Mary Margaret Park

 

information 

tons of it

compression waves

spilling from our computer screens

A-bombs crowding

the mind’s horizon

origins

unknown

 

time slot stampede

marked and dated

obsolete upon arrival

 

the relevant

and the arcane

 

random and

specific

 

a vast 

weigh station

of data

 

a race for the latest

 

it’s eclipse

             knowledge
