I am in my nest,
Of quiet and sleeping cat,
Slippers and blanket,
Tea and poetry,
Thoughts gathered,
Before the day arrives,
Calm before storm,
Peace in my heart.

And when the sun goes down,
the evening bird comes arond,
singing of night skies and
orange clouds, wishing
everyone a good night,
tucking the fledglings in
in their #nests. Pleasant
dreams, see you tomorrow.

The thoughts of a baby corn bird in the #nest are confusing.
"I must be on the crests of giant waves, the way my little home sways. I'll be drowned and I cannot even swim."
The corn bird's straw nest is 4 feet long and hangs from highest tree limbs. Flying is a more apt skill.

The #punk ’s hair was red
as fire, you could hear the
flames crackle. Her
tattoos scurried around her
like termites. Her gaze, one
side green, the other pink, held
mine in a clutch. A mesmerizing
moment. I hoped, she would not
break the spell with something
profane like: “Can you
spare a dime?”

If you’re reading this,
The punk on the afternoon bus,
Mohawk resting on the window,
I almost reached out,
My fingers wanting,
The urge to know,
How spiky your hair was,
If it would feel,
Like shards,
Or soft like a wolf.

We honour days long gone,
when Saul, #knight of Highmourne,
sounded first his ivory horn,
and rode to war under a crimson dawn.
Tales of his deeds returned, not he,
his fate remains deep in mystery.
At dawn we face the North in memory,
hoping to witness his return from the sea.

Chivalry is an open door,
Valour is a medal,
Knights now ride the bus,
Giving up their seats.
The dragons are in power,
Still hoarding gold,
We recite fairy stories,
Fed to us in headlines,
Armour now in labels,
Hashtag at the end of stories.

In the 90s we took a hot air balloon flight over the Burgundy wine region in France. When the balloon drifted over a #castle, people waved to us from the windows. After we landed, local villagers greeted us with a trestle table that had wine & cheese from the region on it.

This is my castle,
A house where the wind lives,
Where the rain visits & cries,
Sloping floors & mouse scurry,
Ghosts & creaking stairs,
This is my castle,
I have papered the walls with love,
Sewn laughter over the cracks,
Filled it with dreams,
That even the wind can’t deny.
