  • Sonnet #3 in Iambic Trimeter

    Those Canadien snow geese are the soul
    The azaleas in the Spring
    They have nowhere to go
    But one can hear them sing.

    That was a little poetical fragment that came to me on a walk just now, in the gorgeous springtime air, of course a little Starbucks influenced as well as the air, water, Sun, geese, birds singing. Maybe I’ll make it into a longer piece, or maybe I’ll just leave it as it is. Feels honest. Anyway, below is my latest “Sonnet” installment

    Sonnet #3 in Iambic Trimeter

    We can not face ourselves.
    There has to be a way.
    We’re grasping for the trails
    Of fairies on the lake.

    I wanted you to know
    We’re oxygen that see
    A blanket in the snow
    Of flying wild white geese.

    We have too many things.
    Sight blinded by two eyes.
    The trails go out in rings
    Soul’s wings that spray the skies.

    When we accept this ride
    Then Isis is our bride.
