Moon of Popping Trees
How cold
How cold is your heart
In the moon
Of popping trees
Entrapped in bitter
Tendrils of ice
And snow
Crystalline flakes
That melt
With each smile
And refection
From your beautiful
Mysterious coyote eyes
As cottonwoods
Shatter and break
In the winter snows
And frost fields
That buffaloes trample
In a silent fragile stampede
Her eyes
Are the eyes of winter
They reflect oblivion
Chaos, love
And the embers
Of smoldering
January fires
Man, your works just keep
Man, your works just keep drawing me in. Words that really seem to speak to my spirit. Love!

MY ODE TO A SELP PROPOSED ETERNAL POET
I met a man
in the cradle of his poetry
for a quill he used but a twig
with his broad mind
he painted horizons
wondering all the way to the sea
from ground floor to terrific tree line
his lines spoke extensively
in so few words he revealed
so much
a new day's dawn, a wolf's
fearsome grin, a child's laugh
a tiger's touch
with but his talent
he let me loose in fields
of fauna and floral
the like I'd barely seen
and in a weave of hypnotic grace
he brought them all to life
so brilliantly for my eyes to read
and now as I reflect on just what
he has shared
my eagerness watches for
his future poetic emergence
from shimmering pools of such vast
cognitive serenity.................
