Red Vine
Traveling umbrella
skyrocketed to deacon
a glossy throne
backed by whitish stone
Scarlet flowers in pun
teasing the canopy
lobes dragging in sun
as breeze carries perfume
Potent glands
basal nectar drips to rain
umbrella draining drops
erected stems, pointing down lane
Forgetful pedestrain
leaving for train
the lonely marquee
frowning, no glee
Fernlike leaves
with silver specks
fine white pubescence
crooked, in the shade of decks
Evergreen
saluted by folly
hummingbirds greet
the floes of holly
The light blue antlers
like ribs in the parasol
and crimson bells
sing to hands they tell
Missing their baldachin
ferrule so strong
vertical in stance
the bench proclaims in throng
The stretcher reigns
over a blanket of berries
while strips of birch
wait for Church and cherries
Textured softness
that contrast excites
vivid and still
on promising sill
The ancient wall
a monument to thrall
the brolly relieved
from beckons call

Whiz Kid
moon so bright
aura of delight
the halo sings
pet songs and things
daughter of bronze
long tale, that intellect spawns
bowed to question
her father's divestion
He sits in display
insular spots of array
tied in impatience
chocolate coat of sudoriference
His lobes of leather
apparent annoyance to tether
curious bothering
must attend to his fathering
"Why are you up Dad?"
"It's very late."
replying in attempting boon
he spoke to conflate
But he failed at that
no knowledge to prat
so young whelp explained
so astronomically trained
"Reflection and refraction
and dispersion too
through hexgonal crystals
a prismic glow beams through"

An Ode of Benediction
Lifes breath, obligation
to wonder in awe
at miracles bestowed
and hidden in flaw
Breezes singing
letting us know
that messages blow
through worlds unknown
Love in sky
and rooted in soil
walked through the trails
by out feet as we sail
Words and music
a reflection in art
growing from seeds
created in heed
Birds and worms
related in gift
acceptance of roles
Shakespearian throes
Friends and family
encourage and faith
independent dreams
touched by wraith
our train of thought
a whistle distraction
conducting the band
symphonic attraction
thank you heart
for sponging the essance
as I smile in reverence
humble in presence

Tribute to Misfits
romantic notion
poetic potion
silly prattle
my ears in battle
but laughing hysterically
at musings esoterically
exclamations and ""Yes"
so enthused and impressed
and kissing the dreams
so scribed in lovely seams
as I am hemmed in passion
not escaping to ration
gentle and kind
the family refined
commoving no bounds
by thoughts profound
the misfits aspire
to share and inspire

Whaa...?
for a question to be
unanswered you see
firstly and formost
it must be asked...
and sometimes they are
so common and par
that we don't replay
so colourless they are
like "how are you"
people say in view
so I surprise and claim
"lonely and depressed" thank you
some laugh in knowing
others rear back hair flowing
it is a statement you see
of common habit no fashion
or "what's happening" man
kind of obvious I pan
so I think "I'm here"
your dribble I hear
Or..."did you see the game"
kind of lame
what game I ponder
I was watching TCM
so I guess all questions
warrant an answer,
like a dancer
who requires applause
so as I say farewell
I wish you very well
and ask of you
"Why did you wake up, today?"

Dusty Musca
in celestial atlas
four hundred agos
Uranometria throws
ideas to cloiud
jungles of colour
Apis and Beta
Gamma and Zeta
dairy white not duller
Milky Way community
first name Eta
Muscae in surname
universal immunity
numbers in name
HD 100546, no shame
an order to claim
of styles by lens
Rainbow of stars
a cerulean-white realm
surrounded by debris
forming disk at helm
circles and cells
shades in round
dwarf strange title
for something so vital
A protoplanet
polygon of six
segments of mix
a pot so handled
like Ursa the bowl
pulsating to dole
common motion
seductive in lotion
To students of sky
giants of many hues
yellow supergiants
and monsters of blue
oranges of dipple
reds that triple
pink nebulas at edge
multiple ejections to pledge
Personified as sect
changing skins to reflect
Bayer's Chamaeleon
camouflaged in sky
tongue grabbing fly
capturing my eye...

The Good, the Bad and Ugly
not destruction
the order of things
boring for ants
and larvae rings
mating holes
the signal doles
for new ones nest
making homes
so impressed
racoons and owls
and tree-nesting ducks
and other foul
wood chip lined
they drum to protect
Cooper's hawks
swoop down to inject
survey of doom
Owls curl
and squirrels hurl
nuts and roots
Abscission and stress
drought and redress
poor drainage
and lightning
mammal biting
of course there is man
roads and homes
and trails dethrone
sometimes to learn
that is the burn
but careless we are
and make our world ajar
but the joy to observe
the wonderful curves
tapestry for canvas
wedding for lass
and pecking in throng
in jazz-like song
growing and falling
nature's calling

Fictile in Beryl
tumblers and cups
accompany sups
containers and lids
preserving squid
boxes for recycling
made from chicling
party glasses
awareness flashes
rectangular dish
fashionable kiss
party plates
primitive dates
table covers
might suit certain lovers
miniature translucent enclosures
limited exposure
jars for creams
stay on while dreams
forage protection
scavenger flexion
boxes for potting
flowers dotting
azure displays
for liqueurs gaze
banning blue plastic
would be pretty drastic!

Inflation
chocolate-malt nougat
and caramel so rich
milk cocoa well coated
rectangular shake
Frank C. Mars invented
henny sweet and vanilla scented
a choice of value
but the whiter one consented
"The sweet you can eat between meals"
the slogan of reels
in Europe much lighter
it floats in milk
Marketing evolves
as the world revolves
at the counter we look
at others like book
the peanut flake
Crispy Crunch
no need to bake
a very nice lunch
Sweet Marie
a love poem first
then a song
and then a confection
...no objection
Many the same
chocolate, peanuts and nougat
toffee thrown in
optional nuts a name
Patterson's Longfellow
stringy sticky and coated
gloating in length
and chewy strength
Baby Ruth so born
cradled in compound bister
a Milky Way of stars
a cavity of bars

"Not Always"
our minds equate
rationalize and compose
ideas and solutions
solutions I chose
but premonition
is the word I pick
to describe gut feeling
that might make me sick
sometimes I follow
that lower path
more might be good
so I won't cause wrath

The Book?
is there a book for me
as I sit in dreams under tree
one that explains life
and puts the sun on strife
pages that tell a story
of conquering fear from quarry
a bottomless pit of wonder
that tells how not to blunder
or how passion is turned
into happiness learned
and juices of imagination
are squeezed from our fixation
of a timeless experience
no watch or dial obedience
the list is long
a word filled throng
chapters of history
telling me reality in mystery

William the Pistonic (Rebecca Hulit Hulitoons)
the turbine action
of Bovidae elder
his head like a tappet
formed by a welder
the arms they pivot
as generated claws
and his beard swings in conjuntion
with the nasal seesaw
all eyes are on him
in a Metropis stare
as the turquoise sun
creates an ominous glare
William the Buck
prehensile upper lip in search
for a political thrust
overthrowing those of smirch
keeping himself oiled
with passion and empathy
quieting the machine
with his billious telepathy

More Than Once
The day arrives
balmy and grey
I ponder my actions
in a questioning array
of wonderful things
I could do for starters
knowing in reality
what it would be in charter
facebook and poems
and novelistic attempts
a check on NPR
before I'm even kempt
I bring my French Press
back from the kitchen
a medium roast i divulge
before I start bitchin'
I pick up to pour
my finger doth stubbed
and I spill the coffee
over the keyboard so plugged
besides OH no!
the expletives were crescendoing
and some of the words
were innuendoing
DeaBeePea 12-1-15
Oh NO!
all divied up
in co-ordinated colour
going to party
as a social muller
blending the crowd
in it opinions various
a resin of humanity
in verbose talk precarious
a few drinks metamorphasize
my normal to hilarious
I chat with many
from writer to leader
and try to impress
a girl at the punch feeder
but then it happens
in comes that jerk
the one person I didn't want here
OH no! as I cussed in irk...
DeaBeePea 12-1-15
Not Exactly Scenic
As I read the directions
I checked my compass
making sure I knew
right from left
Cautiously I looked down
very much hoping
that there would be something
besides a floor bereft
Well, there wasn't much
a trio of wires
ready to tangle me
in ankle and castered chair
there wasn't much symmetry
or colours to view
black cords on beige
a carpet so fair
one strand for the keyboard
another for the mouse
and third is for my headphones
for my jazziest blare

The Fabrication All Childen Hear
or Lament for the Baby Boomers
Operation Landcrab was strife
we lost many men of valour
but we managed to push Yamasaki
in our state of frozen pallor
I carried four men on my back
for our position to revive
until every enemy was dead
as we buried them in the sand
we ended the Aleutian campaign
and I captured twenty-nine
an accomplishment I bestow
but it was nothing really
DeaBeeea 12-9-16
will tranquilize your life
but your floating memories
DeaBeePea 12-5-16
when I've slept till four
of the disappearing light
would really bee the best
and I might be transported
which would be a disturbance
to provide me with luxuries

these lassies are marching
I wonder if it's a protest
