The noisy chatter of early morning rain
Silences the dawn chorus with promises vain
Dark sonorous clouds have returned again
And large droplets fall but only offer wetness
Vague threats of an end to years of dryness
Is nature just a tease where it stays the same.

Dry earth pleads for Mother Nature to share
Far off flashes and crashes answer the prayer
The distant thunder rolls warning, Prepare.

Know that soon here time will stop
For one hour we will ignore the clock
Too soon Autumn has returned again
Bringing with it just a slight respite
To drive to work in morning light.

Walking along the esplanade each day
Wishing to see natures wild display
With crashing surf and howling gales
Where madness rules with vivid hues
Lashing seas scarred with whites and blues.

And now the nights are cold and dry

caress my mind with appealing drops of rain
swells upon my tongue, your lips I miss
encased in purple veins and riding pain-

Bookra (Tomorrow)

One night I lay asleep in Africa,
In a closed garden by the city gate;
A desert horseman, furious and late,
Came wildly thundering at the massive bar,
"Open in Allah's name! Wake, Mustapha!
Slain is the Sultan -- treason, war, and hate
Rage from Fez to Tetuan! Open straight."
The watchman heard as thunder from afar:
"Go to! In peace this city lies... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Teagan De Danaan) http://tirnanogthelandoftheeverliving.yuku.com/topic/2965 Sat, 27 Mar 2004 00:03:39 GMT http://tirnanogthelandoftheeverliving.yuku.com/topic/2972/t/Church-Whispers.html
The students sit
Hisspering the questions to themselves
Whilst thumbing through the publication
As if invoking Saraswati
Just like the little old ladies you see
Clutching their rosary beads
Kneeling down in front of lit candles
Suddenly there is a smile
And the eyes light up
Another letter is circled
Another question answered
A student stands up
Hands me her paper
As the last student finishes
I mark the papers

This is lesson 1 - you have to do a poem that mimicks this one:

Alfred Tennyson, Lord Tennyson

Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ringed with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,

I'm a somnambulist
About to perform
The most magnificent feat
Of sleep walking.
I will walk through my life
With my eyes open
Just because
Im afraid to dream

Quietly I hope
You will rescue me
And I will waken
For the first time in my life.

I will see your eyes as I was meant to
And we will run away together.

Display along pathways
In gardens once bare now filled with
Bouquets in glorious colors that fill
The senses with their fragrant scents
Replenished from raindrops

Within the green, they spray
blissful.
Splashes of vibrancy,
high spirits leaning, toward the sun
exhaling languid imaginings
& trumpet dreams.

In early Spring Narcissus chants
her golden tunes tossed randomly
through streets & lanes,
under hedgerow drifts
of foliage fruits-
A vivacious fracture
in the overhead greys.

An ancient bloom of sacrifice
a toxic myth of vanity,

Inside the splendour of your eyes
I see truth and unquestioned trust
Implied by knowing you so long.
Cupids arrows set, the arrow flies
In landing knocks away the crust
Of resistant walls built so strong.

The sun may set, but there is always
Knowledge of other and better days.

Together as we watch the sun arise
We know now that it will ever be so
Each day awake there is no surprise
And with eve our passion will show
Our right to trust... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Teagan De Danaan) http://tirnanogthelandoftheeverliving.yuku.com/topic/2975 Tue, 23 Mar 2004 02:05:11 GMT http://tirnanogthelandoftheeverliving.yuku.com/topic/2973/t/rejected.html but just as real

stop at a painting of the sea
the clicking of your camera

Your face of question taunts my simple voice.
O deepest beauty clear a morning trust.
The patch, the scars betrayed, disturbing poise;
Why use this ploy to turn away brave lust?
Night-moving clouds do darken dreams we keep;
You warn, you tease between our verbal throes;
With wizened life you offer eyes that weep;
Such rationale twists want to braided woes!
Yet, I embrace the lover's secret need;
And tongue-trace patterns' violent mystery.

Up across trees valiantly holding the day

Up and down the Sierra Madre street
Looking for a willing canine treat.

The Tale Of Custard The Dragon

With a little black kitten and a little gray mouse,
And a little yellow dog and a little red wagon,
And a realio, trulio, little pet dragon.

And the little gray mouse, she called her Blink,

Woman were you a dream
That now awake and find myself possessed
By one who has carved my affection
With her Avon toxic waste dump visage.

In my alcohol induced slumber
And was turned on by the reds of your lips
Offering me your dioxin promises

Your flawed skin hidden
By highly refined petroleum products
And aromas courtesy of Shell Research
