    Poem Commentary

    A composite write of sights and scents, discovered in my morning bike ride thought the parks on a beautiful fall morning.

    Where The Fern Dwells

    As if with His breath
    He blew across the
    face of the earth and
    sent clouds scurrying
    towards the West

    As if with His mighty
    hand in the upper
    Heavens He cleared the
    sky as the clouds moved
    ever faster towards the East

    As the Sun rose the
    birds sang praises for
    the beauty of this fall
    morning growing cloud
    less in a pinking sky

    The ferns dance gracefully
    in the shadows to a
    rhythm in the breeze

    A set of yellow wings perform
    the nectar dance in the warming
    sun as the shadows creep across
    the grass the fern dance in the
    shadows and yearn the warmth
    from an ever shrinking fall Sun

    New shoots rising from needles
    and leaves as they roots move
    silently under the decaying life
    an orange flutter by did his
    nectar dance as a blue dragon
    sips nectar from a fading blue and
    purple bloom's swaying the breeze

    Graceful forms emerge held in pose
    as there leaves do a free fall and
    the branches move less with each
    breeze a bird sings of love and the
    beauty of his life, in the changing colors

    And the food our Lord provided him
    and his mate an enticing ballad of
    love and admiration  as the sounds
    of children laughing in the distance
    carries in the breeze and the warmth
    of the Sunrises to a sweat

    Tis the time when Ginger blooms
    and it's white petals dance in the wind
    as erotica flows into the minds men
    amidst the yearn to snuggle as the
    nights grow long and cool and the
    pleasures of the night seep into
    their hearts and souls

    Orange globs with painted faces
    dots the door steps with candied
    thoughts dwell where fear once slept
    as the greens fade in the setting sun
    and the circle of life creeps into night
    an erotic scents pass in days and
    onto necks those fragrant spots
    as the fern flickers in the breeze.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
