Season ends pleasantly, turning equinox month's bliss evenings resplendent.
Easy porch times, easy morning brunches, easy relaxing September.
Perfect tender eves... morose bitter eves... reconciled slowly eves...
To every member, bringing every respect, showing every peace.
Enjoying my brothers, enjoying ridiculous sisters, enjoying perfect 'trangers.
Most beautiful engagements, regretfully sad estrangements: people, transitions, encounters.
'Bominable event remembered: September eleventh's plane terrors eighth memorial.
Eager returnings, scholastic entry, parents trying early month birthdays.
Rains start, ever-greening pours. Trees engorge, moss beautifully expands.
So eternally passes time, everyday moments becoming essential remembrances.

Poetry

p o e t r y p o e t r y p o e t r y p o e t r y p o e t r y p o e t r y

Pure open emotion... tenderly released yearnings.
One's excruciating thoughts, revealing your psyche.
Engage through redaction your past omens;
Tearfully remember youthful possibilities... over... ended.
Rejoice! Yell Profanities! Obdurate, empathize, tempt.
Yellowing print, old entertaining texts retrieved...
Perhaps our entries time'll remember yellow-ly.

Birthday Camping Dad

a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

A birthday camping

Dad enjoying friends,

Good health indeed.

Joking, keeping lively...

Most noble occasion.

Peaceful, quiet, retreat.

Surprise! The unseen

visible, wrappings 'xposed...

your Zamboni.*

a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

* It should be noted that this is not a cop-out word. My Dad is legitimately obsessed with these ice-smoothing-Uhalls and to call his present one is like calling the fishing we did utterly enjoyable.

Deep description

a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

Amature and actual authors all agree,
basic, but beautiful,
creatively crafted compositions,
develop deep, dramatic descriptions.

Each enticingly engages
five fully felt,
God "goose-bump" given,
human heart having,
intensely incarnate impulses:

Jaw-jolting juxtapositions, juicy Jesus!
Keen Kahlil knowledge kabobs, kissable key-
lime "Louis L'amour" lemon littérature, lovely!
Macbeth’s murderous melon-munching madness, marvelously manuscripted.

Now notice Nash's nascent nasal nudgings,
offering Ogden's olfactory-opening opinions.
Port-Royal’s prince Pascal presents pleasant philosophical potpourri.
Qoheleth's queen quietly quaffs quizzical quotes...

Rustle, rustle… recognize Rice's rarely read rom-antics?
Shakespear’s slyly scripted sonnet seductions...
Tennyson’s tenderly transcribed taboo touches...
Updike's ugly undulating undressings?
Virginia's voiceless virile verse,
Woolf's whispers, which when written would wield:
- X X X -
Yikes! You're young yet,
zipper, zip zip!

Portland

It was really hard to write this without being able to mention microbrews, coffee or bicycles!

Progressive organic recyclers, treehugging liberal alternatives... nature domestics.
Oregon's rare treasure; like a non-dairy parfait!
Recreational trekkers, living as non-damn-profit organizers.
Trimet's loop amazes newbies downtown, pure Oregonian remarkableness.
Laughing at Newt, deploring Palin, Obama's real teammates!
Add novel displaced programs, our retail taxless life,
Now discover Powell's or Ringside, turn left and
Dazzling parks open right through living arboreal neighborhoods....
Pristine, oasic rebel town; literally adventurers' now descendants.
