The Field
cultivation of the soul
an arable mind
a harvest of ideas
a seed of kind
days of ploughing
others of rest
soaking the rains
for fruitions quest
a tractor in steer
big wheels to fear
mud and rock
not shedding a tear
celebrate in festival
reaping the energy
friends and comrades
creating synergy
toasting in wine
fine art surrounds
music of glory
manicured sounds
the sun rises high
illuminating the stone
old buildings and steeples
my spirit on throne
varied and vivid
our passion enriched
history and future
forever stitched

ECTOTHERM
backs of leather
flailing ailerons
bright blue eyes
buttered weather
pink imago
doming reeds
emerald waves
hidden tails ago
side by side
or tucked away
heading to surface
for air's abide
terrapin or tortoise
promiscuous convive
shelled in puzzle
proteins guzzle
this world's uncertain
flowers grieve
as destruction impels
for final curtain

Women With Long Pointy Fingernails
painted and glossy
sharp and extended
Cruella de Vil hands
slippery and splendid
they seem accusing
but have their moment
sometimes amusing
a message of foment
stiletto nails
can hurt when hugged
a piercing assail
that has me bugged
but it can be sexy
a feminine perspective
assertive in nature
earning respective
especially in black
they seem to attack
those long sharp projectiles
a women's smack

Surreal #3
a slimy eel
is truly surreal
an icky feel
of anchovy zeal
and a continuous squeal
makes me reel
a piercing peal
deafening appeal
white harp seal
cute puerile
rights repealed
a better deal
Virginia reel
music genteel
spinning on heal
finished in kneel
turning the prayer wheel
sin to reveal
bizarre ordeal
happiness unsealed

Rebecca's challenge of many seasons...
Corny Poem
Cornelia Cobb
my heart throb
seeding bubbles
away go troubles
the blue hole answers
her prickly lancer
her intellect knows
with sleuthing nose
chocolate dreams
and purple streams
coating kernels
and writing journals
as the water smothers
for cheering brothers
a near-sighted view
of my favourite muse
goodbye my dear
in faithful tear

The Result
Sleeping in can be
quite astounding you see
one day at 1PM I found
the world change profound
the stock market crashed
my investments dashed
it had snowed four feet
in summers sunny bleet
our rulers taken over
by anarchists drover
my roof was gone
cluttering lawn
and my hair had changed
from grey to greenish mange
the news reported
major oil extorted
we traded the weather
with South Pole nether
pictures of beaches
and tanning peaches
I missed a lot
by sleeping awry
so I'd better start adorning
my life with morning

Sleeping Clause
In 1874
Santa slept in
Christmas was cancelled
in a nightly din
children were chagrined
the gifts rescind
he snored until aft
then knew he had gaffed
but the reindeer said no
never work in the glow
so he said oh well
no point to dwell
there's always next year
for midnight clear

Screen Gem
sleeping in is part and parcel
with staying up late
in movies fate
a chesterfield state
the guy gets the gal
the end appears
but I'm not awake
when next film nears
so it's coffee at twelve
and toast I delve
when is lunch
during afternoons crunch

Three Wisemen
Unfolding fire
Flames transpire
To swirling stars
Dancing higher
Like shells on sand
They form a hand
A prayer to heaven
A faithful stand
Contoured scrolls
Aligned in galaxy
The wick a thole
In golden kohl
A trio in chorus
The stage resplendent
Viewed by Horus
In clustering sorus

Abominable
six threatening whiskers
teeth like polar ice caps
behemothic
a Rudolphian chap
Mammoth
Snowshoe footed
making oval caverns
Silent
searching for waterless tavern
Steadfast
delivering fearless fate
moving south to date
Surviving
floeing through home's gate

A very late response to Kathy's clamorous challenge...
I am not a child
although on occasion
I behave like one
silly and full of pun
I do get silly
at thoughts of party
meeting friends
and eating hearty
and when I see
gifts under the tree
I remember the days
when most were for me
a giddy child
but always restrained
my parents teaching
hold in the reins
but they make it special
their laughing eyes
anxious smiles
and excited cries...

Faulty Assumptions
possibly
all assumptions are true
miracles happen
to me and you
when you consider
things automatic
you might be in trouble
and receive lots of static
when I think
my poems really stink
someone says
what they really think
love it, inspiring
funny or cute
it's so nice to receive
compliments, not rebuke

WIND
people say
wind blows
but out of context
that might have foes
as I love wind
power and sound
reminding us
of humble ground
it rattles things
and whistles too
and makes peoples hair
look less new
its great for laundry
and helps me also
when I walking with it
instead of against its flow

20015
the Beatles are back
and records on track
a wonderful time
like spinning dimes
a big head reigns
connected to wisdom
mechanical in spirit
mathematical brains
partner with hair
electric in scare
starlit bugs
and wavy blue rugs
a tripod man
shooting a scene
directing without chair
for multiplex screen

Good "second last day of 2104" to all... wherever you may be.
from year to year
the pages turn
the plot develops
so much we learn
words and chapters
designate time
but questions arise
that never rhyme
the end never comes
our dreams so rife
closing and opening
the book of life
DeaPea 12-31-14
GRIEF
agony
can be the start
a type of anguish
that rips at the heart
bereavement
is to inaugurate and rehearse
for the process
of a brand new verse
gloom
is what seems our future
as if our souls
have been stitched in suture
melancholy
is the emotion
like corrugated thoughts
spinning a commotion
disquieting
creating us fear
which makes us defensive
protective of jeer
vexation
is our new train of thought
following a track
that negativity has bought
despondancy
is a removal of vitality
creating a vacuum
that corrodes our happy modality
worry
blocks our recollection
of all that is good
in our tranquil reflection
hope
can be reborn
from the mourners gathering
and the removal of the thorn
consolation
can be the new friend
in the infinity of life
despite the physical end...
