building the future

wondering the sound
of pen
scratching paper
and later...
how it looks
.....a revelation

shanna

Hurricane Felicia
here today
gone to Maui

I went to the edge
of the mountain
tropical storm warning
anticipation .....
of eye contact
with "Hurricane Felicia"

shanna


"Maui" held the sun in the sky for his beloved to create beutiful artwork from the paper bark tree "Kapa" (tapa)he held the sun in the sky to give her time...for her creations

Venice

The Venice Beats
the rhythm
of their words
sound of huarache's
on a misty morning's
wet cobble stone streets

black ink pen
in hand
and a blank page
touching the face of God
their words
echo down
those breezeways...
protesting
for the "Lady"
mans mad anger
looking for another road
slowly ..migrating
to a" mile high mountain"
in Denver
their faces
now etched in stone

in Hawaii
on a six mile high
mountain
a tree
touches
the face of God
a Koa tree planted
for the poets

words falling
blowing in the breeze
filling the page

Ha! the breath of life
blows through
an emaginary room
the smell of cooking

a real kitchen
running water
a place to sit
image of my grandmother
first thing
pray to the oven

fresh bread
buttered
and blackberry jammin
music around the kitchen table

A pair

ten-gallon hat pulled
low over his eyes--he winds up the
war toys.

global
warming. he shuns,
the cause: flatulent cows
and too much Texas barbecue
oh well!

shanna

Vegetation
he sits
smiling and tanned;
another vacation
taking precedence over real
issues

bluster,
pomp and BS:
graph lines head down the drain,
his career proof of how not to
govern
Trish

his rice
brown and polished
sustains his ego and feeds
the mind of her warrior
daily

Venice where my muse
The Lady
grabbed me
amoungst those dear beat poets...
there is a webcam
in venice
I visit
some restless nights
and see the shadows
of people on the boardwalk..
and see my footprints in the sand...
looking for the waves...
..
a wheelchair goes by
I see Bill Margolis..
shadows of Tony and Stu and
Jimmy on the bench
waiten for the poem...
I see a lamppost or a sign
and the villiage of venice
but I see my footprints
on the sand
headed for Hawaii...

sun through the trees
flickering
memories of the past
dreams
of hairpin lace
shadows of the old ones
200 year old limbs
of grace
and the dance
feather cloaks
sway in the breeze
soft music from somewhere
extinct now
those rare birds
of the forest
and yet
I dream
as the old ones dance
shadows
of the forest
the queens jubilee
