Rainbow Sheen Wick

One last blast a real corker as they say
Fleet footed fumble prone opened a valve today
We still hear the cry from so very far away
As shrimp shellfish and seabirds gather to pray

As deep horizons go so perfect and so safe
Now bottom dwellers where machinery stays to chafe
20 by 20 miles of wind churns to chocolate mousse fluff
Where weather clears for cleanup to resume seas stay rough

In undetermined amounts coastal water sport is lost
Extinction of life amid the muck at what ever the cost
Remote now operated vehicle to close a sticky valve
As 5000 feet of water offers up its lonely salve

Down under the massive rig a coastal catastrophe
1000 barrels float up for all the world to see
What fragile system puts wellhead on the ocean floor?
Strong winds and clouds of rain churn forever more

Mobile offshore sunken rig residual in the sand
Exposure on its way to pristine coastal land
Best technology known brings blast site oil slick
Lost horizon deep and dark with a rainbow sheen wick

Beyond the Misty Realm

Ancient Greek culture tumbled ashore
Upon Gaelic winds for trouble no more
Rendered this name soft and murine
Pure Ireland essence: cath Eire ine

For the love of Ireland Irish forever left
On paths taken as if given the perfect gift
For want of beauty within eyes out there
Setting forth upon water's wider world of care

By nature of journey in images to create
Proud in lore at stronghold's newest gate
Out of pure love and ties of kinship
Scenes of beauty views a sailing ship

Wearing old blindfolds as travels unfold
Fear not stories Eyjafjallajokull foretold
A wilder world sets forth in angelic belle
Reliance on self bears a watchtower knell

Journey the roads of true self adjustment
Literary tradition pride must have meant
Blinders may abound in feathers of doubt
Who we are defines where we journey out

Surf warrior wave sorcerer close to hearth
Patterns joy's sorrows of close held heart
Something inside leads to places out there
Soft-hearted armor in ancient warrior care

Chief amongst those the stoutest of lands
Attracts distant hearts with soft misty hands
A new treatment off to Eire in far off land
Even as natural resistance submits a plan

Ambivalent allegiance you make the call
Culture and travel for the fun of it all
Signify the journey to be more self aware
Inner journey travels upon outward stare

Ready willingness comes only from within
In deep solitudes and a happy little grin
From days in the sun now to country Eire
Island sparkles mountain beauty faire

Far distant place of native stone wall
Rocky terrain beyond ocean blue's call
Where mists reconcile myths in harmony
Lays in your arms only for beauty to see

Offshore beckons insistence at the helm
Adventures await beyond the misty realm
Blue sky pasturage deep emerald green
Pure Ireland essence: cath Eire ine

Pattern Jerkin' Dance Crew

Patterns wave cross universal strands
Deep streets worry mother's soft hands
Fashion once calloused servitude lore
Geek pattern boy dances cement floor

Movement so primal chic recognizable
Sentiment built soon to be super sizable
Mother-boy conflict down to its knees
Jerkin' dance patterns stylish to please

New dance craze fashion at the forefront
Urging Neanderthal gangsta to just go hunt
Exaggerated versions a new level of cool
Geek jerkin' fashion stylish crew at school

Business of hip gets in line for mainstream
Entrepreneurship cuts edges to a chase scene
Mean streets once brought fear to hungry eyes
Final resting place where gangsta fascism dies

Smart fashion comes to eventuality
Geek chic patterns spring individuality
Needs no fluffy raccoon belt loop purse
Smarts come now gangsta gets the curse

Triggers of rage held in permanent check
Channels jerkin' dances out on the deck
Mother's little boys on the verge of change
Poetical-aholic fashion finds its range

Bouncy chic moves in fly street style
Radio playtime across a distant mile
Physical danger escapes loose link dance
Little guy moves in backward trance

Tech in isolation works a new magic
Running dance street eliminates the tragic
Replace gangsta culture with value of self
Turn fascism gangsta into a little elf

A nice little tool for individual nation
Facebook myspace in self perpetuation
Jerkin' dance crew afro mohawk
Stylish geek pattern party high talk

Go out raw get out in business bleak
Attract with the moves of uptown chic
Twisting and grooving high energy jet
Bring cool style name it "Reject"

Shiny jeans contour the hip to hip hop
Simple beats down crafted on laptop
Sophomoric lyrics a hopper pint size
Dance geek jerkin' style to open your eyes

Comfort Town

Dark Hollow shadow in folk tale seclusion
Falls into sunnier hands of poetry illusion
Somehow this time little snippets won't do
This tale of Big Coal River and its select few

Throes of strategy a misty smokey dusty air
Ways of telling by people who live there
Bloomy redbuds shine in finishing Spring touches
Clear Folk Road scatters its little wooden hutches

All the world knows of bright lights big city
Yet few follow men into a deep dust gritty
Hope springs darkness beyond refuge chamber
Treasured sleepy ghost ships remain the blamer

Food water oxygen mothers nature's call
Willingness smiles where everyone knows all
Runs down into battle of combustible dust
As mothers and children gather up near rust

Know a man by written statements in memory
Word spread fast as if explosive clemency
Men trudge underground only to fall prey
Lights of home still seen far across the bay

A select few answer nature with a burning
Memorial vigil now a new place of learning
Married in deep rock with its focus on force
Turns home with the obvious riderless horse

Time steps up in hope for any kind word
System of vents or accountability blurred
Profits of safety distant mountain stands alone
Comfort lights remain now nobody home

Puppy Got Back

Appreciate the finery amidst rough life endured
Around many corners war blends a life so blurred
Thoughtful exchange now lets pets find the cure
As wartime trauma on the hurt loses all allure

To leave a battlefield behind comes the day you must
Slower approach to a life with the ones you trust
Paced once as animalsl then came you home a vet
Find you now at the vet with pups for you to pet

Hear those clicks deep inside distant trigger's gun
A broader world here at home for all to play and run
Instead of snipers now you scan little sniffer's smiles
Little pup's got your back to offer calmer miles

These same vets can get you even a little Afghan pup
Further away cruel Afghanistan where toils you once ran up
Even so you still duck the rounds of close calls from Iraq
Little pup is your better duck with a nicer quack

Brain state chemistry lingers longer than you think
Off your back on your feet still memories render stink
Unlucky few reality's cue inside it made you scream
Daily tasks shape your ways to get you back mainstream

Safety gauges your new life to trust little pups with grins
Feel the urge let life surge beyond hand grenades and pins
Got your back to get you up with new thoughts of emotion
Interests lie here at home you have crossed this wide ocean

To what avail does it mean in wartime push and shove?
Desperation and frustration could use a puppy's love
Shifting eyes of reality shade even the hardened brain
Be prepared and willing to ease a little pain

Got your back that little pup for fun and sun and lark
Jolt old flashbacks soon sooth with the little guy's bark
See yourself clear let duty ring as freedom comes true
Fancy folk greet you now, that little pup and you
