PURITY AND GRACE - (FEB 03 2015)
legendary, so majestic and pure
by far considered most unique for sure
much more breathtaking than satin and lace
a true symbol of purity and grace
cloven hooves, angelic long main and tail
amazing creature in a woodland vale
projected long pointed spiraling horn
depiction of beauty, the unicorn
eyes and hooves sky blue or purple haze
such grandiose beauty sure to amaze
colors range, jet-black, silvery moonlight
dark brown, dazzling gold, though most often white
when fleeing from capture will take a dive
from the edge of a cliff just to survive
eldest and wisest are telepathic
youngest have empathy, now ain't that slick
hence, one with nature ever so flawless
power resides within to heal sickness
to render poisoned water potable
only by a virgin approachable

Amazing fact; Unicorns can live anywhere from 100
to 1000 years and stand taller than a horse!
PS Thank you Neish for poem suggestion!
STARGAZING - (FEB 02 2013)
stargazing, sets a peaceful state of mind
as our eyes take in this universe designed
enjoyment, awareness, wonder combined
twinkling ever so bright in nighttime shrine
stars seem to endlessly glow always shine
gazing upwards pictorial forms enshrine
our North star remains so constant and true
our Ursa Major points, never off cue
little Ursa Minor remains true blue
about eighty-eight constellations show
Orion, Pegasus, Leo we know
Taurus, Perseus, Gemini aglow
everything that exists in outer space
planets, asteroids, galaxies keep pace
energy and matter, engaging place
rings of dust around Saturn hold form
midst a void of debris, vacuum the norm
magnetic, galactic, solar flare storm
during the day sun emits bright sunlight
only visible during dark of night
awesome experience, really outta sight

Our universe so deep yet so mesmerizing!
SEASONAL IMPRESSIONS - (APR 02 2013)
fragrant aroma wild flowers permeate
ever so enticing, ever so sweet
Mother Nature signals her soft refrain
a poignant bouquet after a spring rain
trees branch out in fine greenery, full dress
some with resplendent blossoms, enchantress
summertime, days of sunshine and heat waves
walking or running enjoyment seeks raves
hiking and biking mountain trails or brush
fresh air, breathe in deep, amazing head rush
swimming at home or some far distant shore
honest, be sincere, who could ask for more
autumn visions savored like fine Chablis
world revolving into a vibrant sea
horizons peak, in a blaze of allure
dazzling brilliancy, an artistic lure
mellow golds, soft yellows, magical blends
burnt tangerines, coppertone reds, transcends
winter signals cold weather, bringing snow
sometimes temperatures of twenty below
tobogganing down slopes, ever so fast
childhood fun and games, always such a blast
skiing, snowboarding always top the charts
crazed, fever-pitched, thrill seekers, sporting arts

Visionary impressions of seasonal displays!
MY CRYSTAL BALL - (APR 09 2013)
as I look into my crystal ball
I see wild visions but cannot tell
just a glimpse into the coming day
silence please, just let me have my say
sunshine glows brightly in a blue sky
why it's blue, have no idea why
soft billowy clouds seemingly float
on a calm sea like a sailing boat
trees stand up sturdy, all branching out
leaves, berries and blossoms softly pout
flowers sprout up amidst the tall grass
spreading far and wide, a landfilled mass
birds sing merrily and twitter loud
sometimes alone often in a crowd
animals, insects, butterflies too
may feel like in a jungle or zoo
in the distance a quaint small village
nestled in a luscious valley stage
midst mountains towering high over head
cool water flows down an old creek bed
in the cool of the evening twilight
man in the moon beckons stars shine bright
soft gentle breeze whispers sweet dreams dear
soon another day dawns bringing cheer

My predictions guarantee love and fulfillment!
DEEP SPACE - (APR 02 2013)
deep space, an area of cold and darknessyou may or may not fully acquiesce
vacuums of silence, perhaps foreign sounds
planets and moons, long tailed comets astounds
rolling, tumbling, massive chunks of debris
floating endlessly in an endless sea
asteroids, black holes, into the unknown
dark void, radiation, collisions drone
explosions, extreme heat, bone-chilling cold
mega kabooms, brilliant flashes so bold
death stars existence; burn quickly and die
some hold us captive, radiation eye
simply put directly in line of sight
like a laser strike, instantly alight
vast dark energy and cosmic voids zone
timeless labyrinths, temporal rifts, unthrone

Deep space, dark energy void, area of unknown and intrigue!
DAZZLING LIGHTS - (MAY 07 2012)
am one of those who love light shows
dazzling lights that light up the sky
those being my most favorite sights
a happiness glow glints my eye
sunrise slowly heightens colors
red, oranges, yellows and more
sunsets too set the stage aglow
vibrantly casting far offshore
fireworks amaze us with pictures
shooting up, flaring out, display
sparkling, kaleidoscope effect
in a dazzling spectral array
northern lights most precious of all
aurora borealis dance
bouncing as in rhythm of drums
rising crescendo style of prance
endless stretching across the sky
glorious dancing in colors bright
onward for hours colorful hues
silently fill world with delight
the moon and stars dazzle and shine
late in the evening when its dark
man in the moon shimmers so bright
zillion twinkling stars sharing spark
is there another world out there
somewhere out in that great beyond
past the milky ways universe
where glow of our sun holds no bond

Have always loved northern lights, fireworks, sunsets and
sunrises. The moon and stars also hold a deep fascination.
