Evocação
Em dias de sol quente,
ardente,
muitos abraçam-no, de repente.
Alguns deleitam-se
num doce olhar.
Outros permanecem com ele,
bem longe, a orar!
Com seu ar majestoso,
por vezes ocioso,
reporta aventuras,
bravuras, feitos de outrora,
que a história regista
a perder de vista
e nele se demora!
Ao sentir-se agitado,
rodopia
cansado de não ser respeitado.
Faz apelos, deixa avisos

The Shoebox
Does he appreciate the irony,
The beauty and light of his surroundings,
The openness and clarity before him,
In stark contrast,
With the dark cloudiness of his mind.
The calm serene vista,
Viewed nonchalantly,
Through a pensive gaze,
More accustomed,
To a turbulent setting,
With whirlwinds of thought,
Torrents of emotion,
And bleak horizons,
Pent up in a shoe box,
A cell of his own creation,
The answer,
If you're interested,
Is yes,

Hasta la Vista
The dawn of Tigris soaks with burnt blood
Clamps every soul
Allures every moment of grilling madness
Each dropp of boiling tears
Reflect a living hell
No more sign of hungry Vultures above
Reincarnation will haunt tormentors
You can run but the ghost of you will never rest
The death arena cries and floods your sins
The sunrise of punitive horizon cracks
Till the end of Earth
The naive color of red
Will be the effigy of premature death
When the lips of the skies
Kiss the fragile ground
Until the seeing
Hasta la vista

Magical Monsoons
Streets are akin to rivulets
for children with paper boats
Paddy farmers in a bit of frenzy
in their improvised raincoats
Drop of the mercury rouses
the indolent stimulus to come to the fore
To paint a picture perfect afresh
and with new hues & tints explore
The flora in wild proportions
propagating as far one can gaze
A panoramic vista so utterly unique
that never ceases to amaze
Twilight a tad gloomy
needs uplifting of depressing mood

This Life
With Kit, Age 7, at the Beach
We would climb the highest dune,
from there to gaze and come down:
the ocean was performing;
we contributed our climb.
Waves leapfrogged and came
straight out of the storm.
What should our gaze mean?
Kit waited for me to decide.
Standing on such a hill,
what would you tell your child?
That was an absolute vista.
Those waves raced far, and cold.
"How far could you swim, Daddy,
in such a storm?"

Placing a Wor[l]d Poetic 1795
Perhaps priority accorded place
Links into a reaction counter fate,
Arkansas may not be the ideal state.
Country or city zen no interface
Influential need for state of grace,
Nor may imagination leap life's gate
Gaining insight handed on a plate
As if one vista offered true creative base.
Why should one town crown inspiration ace?
Ozark spark stamp unique, supreme, dictate.
Revelation elsewhere absent, sate?
Light travels far on insight's wings to case
Dell, valley, vill, spire, joint inspiring write
Poetic which depends on second sight!

Joy-Bells
Ring your sweet bells; but let them be farewells
To the green-vista’d gladness of the past
That changed us into soldiers; swing your bells
To a joyful chime; but let it be the last.
What means this metal in windy belfries hung
When guns are all our need? Dissolve these bells
Whose tones are tuned for peace: with martial tongue
Let them cry doom and storm the sun with shells.
Bells are like fierce-browed prelates who proclaim
That ‘if our Lord returned He’d fight for us.’
So let our bells and bishops do the same,
Shoulder to shoulder with the motor-bus.

A Heart Is Surely Bound
With branches coated topside white with snow.
And blue the shadows stretched along the ground.
Trees adding sharpness, a wintry view on show,
With dazzling, flickering sunshine, such can astound
The observing eye, which will discern and know
Each picture of nature's wealth, times made renowned.
And on a bench in silence sat a crow,
Held captive by a vista, with no sound.
Then flapping his wings, flew off, swooping quite low,
Leaving behind a frozen prospect to dumfound.
Thus, looking here and there, and to and fro
Across this painted scene, a heart is surely bound.

Globally Mirrored
Our earth is globally mirrored within small tear shaped droplets,
Something that is magical, yet real.
Swallowed so greedily by the dehydrated blue tits,
Quenching thirsts, from time primordial.
Watch the panoramas that are reflected in the raindrops,
Clear and sharp, they’re beautiful to see.
If we could just step inside one, and look over the treetops,
What a clean new land our world would be.
How can a huge vista be seen in one tiny spheroid,
A sight we can easily ignore.
But look anew and you will soon find, you are overjoyed,
With views, after every fresh downpour.

Reminder à Propos Response to Beth. St. Clair Discovery
Reminder à propos falls from fair lines
Enchantingly as music from the spheres,
Measures not, yet knots dissolves as ear's
Inner room reverberates, refines
Nature's pure designs, far stars aligns,
Doors unlocks as vista vision clears.
Emerging understanding perserveres,
Rich wonders links with gentleness, combines
A heart as haven, berth, with rebirth's shrine's
Pleasure treasured, lifts rifts. Life appears
Responsive to true heart, brain's reign frontiers
Overcome at last, as meeting nears.
POet here responds with sonnet song
Spontaneous to one unknown to wrong.
