Ashland
Take me to Ashland and let me visit 'Ash-town'!
For the name of my lover is Aston,
And like the ripen mangoes in the land of my muse;
But love is all that leads me on.

I dream of a star, an island of light, where I shall be born and in the depth of its quickening leisure my life will ripen its works like the ricefield in the autumn sun.

Steve Jobs!
Ripen apple
Withered
Steve Jobs!
Nice to see you in the plant
Still very nice to see you in her plait
A single rose!
Torrential rain
One rose withered
Washed away in flood!

Nothing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig. I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.

The insufferable arrogance of human beings to think that Nature was made solely for their benefit, as if it was conceivable that the sun had been set afire merely to ripen men's apples and head their cabbages.

Prayer for Lightning
My corn is green with red tassels,
I am praying to the lightning to ripen my corn,
I am praying to the thunder which carries the lightning.
Corn is sweet where lightning has fallen.
I pray to the six-coloured clouds.

The Blush Of Apples
Those eleven apples
A seasons festoon
Green slowly defeated
And blush triumphant
So apples ripen
An aide existential
Innocent they'll fall
Picked or blown
The natural way
As things go
The Autumn conclusion
Sung in unison

Barren Grounds
A solitary Buzzard flew over my thatched roof
And I recalled the bygone days of her ripen harvest.
What I found in her readable eyes?
Only the odds and ends and what else?
Dedication to my poet friend Denis.Joe
Is there life after death?
