Fly — Away

April 19, 2022 by Dale Leave a Comment

Sparrow

Fly away — find a way winter falls — away gone Drift away — glass crash sky’s a way — down ground Melt away — down fluffed feathers feel — day dawn Fly away — find a way spring — away gone.   ∞ Submitted as part of “National/Global Poetry Writing Month” (#NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo). Today’s…

A Dis-Ode to the Mushoom

April 16, 2022 by Dale Leave a Comment

Wild Mushrooms Growing

As a foodie — it pains me the lack of pang, the indifference, for fungi foraged from a forest floor gills, spores, or teeth — mush all not a morel, not a morsel, nor saddle, I’m bareback all the way, I’d rather walk, than search for a jelly cup, hens of the woods, foul to…

the syrphid

April 12, 2022 by Dale Leave a Comment

Macro of a hover fly

Hover with beating wings flower lover Fleeting with iridescent light meeting Reminiscent the wasp, feeding self-sufficient Stops upon a wild rose buzz your hosp Nose deep in dusted pollen your clothes Fallen seraphim cast away foreign Steam the rim of summer’s cream Skim the sunshine of golden trim Mine the sugary of floral wine Fly…

Returned

My writing called      bring a return metamorphosis      answered beating its wings      drying the flow a seasonal cycle      fall into spring in a jar once of Play-Doh      six months an insectarium          transformed a living statue      a bathroom constant awaiting      a vernal spark      life parsley wilted      dried…

Seed of my hands Red fruit of my toil A child of my lands Umami bred of soil A poison apple forbidden flesh a stained chapel in wedding dress Woven heirloom culinary ring born of June bloom my pasta’s king You’re sugar and sweet gob smacked bitter acid in mince meat sour before the heat…

In the Hemi-Light

April 21, 2020 by Dale 2 Comments

Dette landskab ligner en hemmelighed That landscape lingers in hemi-light fordi floden ikke ses Feathered blood inks the skies fra det sted, hvor jeg befinder mig. frosted showers just behind me Og derfor er det også Embossed air that scars det landskab, hvor jeg lettest The landscape — hovers weightless ville kunne undvære mig selv….

Swallow-Tails

April 23, 2019 by Dale Leave a Comment

Green Swallowtail Caterpillar

Like a ribbon of verdant grass curled around my finger I remember my youth of running barefoot through the grass and clover chasing the flight of butterflies over Okanagan air like the wind whispering love to the tail of a dancing kite pale sulfur sails panel the blue as long crooked legs come alight upon…
