The House Where Nobody lives

 

"Once it held laughter

Once it held dreams

Did they throw it away

Did they know what it means"

~Tom Waits

 

 



Moon Salad

 "Moon Salad"

A full ripe moon

is best for this salad

add to this some well seasoned grass

I prefer a plume laden phragmites

now a dash of inspiration

and toss in a deep purple light vinaigrette
to drink may I suggest a hearty hoppy
pale ale
Bon appetite!

 

 



A Rose Breasted Morning for Alison

 

Another pleasant visit

from Lady Alison.

Here is your young Rose Breasted Grosbeak

Hope he makes you smile all the way home

On another rosy day.

See you again soon!

 

Rudbeckia Goldsturm

Deep Purple

 

There is no Smoke on the Water...
Just a deep purple crush
Dark with rich colour
Bright light
In regions of existence
The beacon  to come hither
May you carry new life
Before they burn this place to the ground!

Dream Upon the Lake

 

 

Feathered Sails

 

Shed by their host

They sail down upon

A lake so still

Slow current leading south

They set sail

Through muted colours

 Somber skies

They will land upon a shore

From the sky

To water, now on land

to sail no more.
