I love
the tick tock of the clock
gently caressing
the silence of the night

It #sounds like
wisps of ethereal time
seeping into the open sky

Fear not
the moment's
inevitable abandonment

There will be eventual replenishment
of this eternal resource
carried by the chimes

Text of poem on a photograph of ripples of aqua water:

Boondoggle

Curls bobble.
Knees wobble.
First day of school.

Flakes splatter.
Teeth chatter.
Snow days are cool!

Chairs clatter.
Friends scatter.
Last day of school.

Heads bobble.
Boards wobble.
Dive in the pool!

Switch toggles.
Mind boggles.
It’s back-to-school!

–Anne M. Lipton

What a piece of work is man —
look at the wonder of our mortal frame:
short sight, arthritis, piles, and acne,
gums are abscessed, cysts inflamed,
impacted wisdom teeth and asthma,
bowel cancer, unnamed pains.
And how could we have been created
by a less than perfect Cause?

What a piece of work is man —
look at our glory, at our splendid ways:
the bodies piled, discarded offal,
raped, their throats slit, set ablaze,
the fragrant smoke an awful signal
of a feast for birds of prey.
And how could we be chance productions,
born of cold, unthinking laws?

What a piece of work is man —
look at the heaven that he’s made of Earth:
the poisoned rivers, flattened forests,
oceans clogged with plastic scurf,
of great apes, elephants, and dolphins,
whales and tigers now a dearth.
And how could we not owe our nature
to the Mighty, Loving Source?

Crow upholds the word corvine,
in any and every way,
You never see just one cawing,
with little or nothing to say.

Limestone cove. Ironstone cliff. Blast-furnace shore. “North Yorkshire In Verse – Moor To Shore In Poetry”: 76 poems of geology and deep time, for readers of Macfarlane, Armitage and Jamie.

#MoorToShore #Poetry

A cinematic wide shot of a rugged North Yorkshire coastline at dusk. In the foreground, jagged, pale limestone formations meet dark, rust-colored ironstone cliffs. The North Sea is a churning charcoal grey, sending explosive white spray against the ancient, weathered stone. In the distance, the skeletal, rusted remains of an old industrial blast furnace stand silhouetted against a bruised, purple-grey sky. The lighting is atmospheric and heavy, highlighting the rough, pitted textures of the rock and the cold, salt-slicked sheen of the shore.

if i wrote
#spicy rhymes that sizzle
would you
be #skeptical & #fizzle out

if i #forsake
#artificial words for #calm
would you
be riddled with doubt
#crashing about in confusion

when her name comes up
I flinch at the memory
maybe tomorrow
we both can release the old
and move about easily

Yet another night's sleep wrecked by noise!
How I loathe those loud motorized toys:
Roaring bikes, mowers, drills,
Power leaf blowers -- Ills
That invade with a sound that destroys.
