little buddha
next to the highchair
sit 6 buddha
laughing at play
Oliver mimics the smiles
giggles
zen humming
soon learns to sit
collected
cross-legged
laughing at play with Dad!

in like limpid liquid, Poetry Tags: angel master, Bob Boy was home, bow to the sununclouded resonance, carved into quills, colors of the rainbow, crystal clear, feathers reaching out, illuminated each scribe, like limpid liquid, memory, Providence RI, rhythm's flourishes, see through music, translucent scribe

Like limpid liquid, Bob Boy poured into the crystal clear dimension where his distinct family awaited him. His limpid clarity illuminated each scribe as his translucent spirit shifted by, see-through music pulsating in the realm of rhythm’s flourishes. Luminous wings fluttered as he passed, feathers reaching out, offering themselves to be carved into quills for the angel master arriving. Colors of the rainbow arranged themselves in bows to the sun. Unclouded resonance settled in the Heavens. Bob Boy was home.

Tags: Calligrapher:Denis Brown, girl on white horse, in my eye, move in water, on the ice, reflected in river, reflections, riding rails in moonlight, stone shelf, the moonlight, the river, the river never sleeps, troutshimmering, whimpering ferns dreaming

calligrapher: Denis Brown
The river never sleeps:
It bears the trout
shimmering
under a stone shelf-
whimpering ferns dreaming nearby.
A girl, on a white horse,
rides the rails in moonlight
reflected in the river that never sleeps.
Reflections, moonlight, the river
never sleep.
They move in the water
on the ice
in my eye.

Shape Shifting
by Jeanne Poland
Highlights Retreat with Dale Carson Levine
March 29,2019
weasel out of the dark
drop down to hide
black on black
undulate
spread
a silent shadow
wave hello
flutter lids
resurrect
into the light
flicker
blink alive
rise-
a phoenix
from the ashes
dust to dust
a whirling swirl
to WIND!

tick-tock clock morphs longevity
seconds minutes hours days-
staccato steps in- a contraction
frozen melts to glaze
ice morphs its longevity
slush to frigid haze…
a shimmer-dimmer contraction morphs longevity

A litany poem by Jeanne Poland
March 29,2019
Highlights Foundation
What the fuck?
My poop is yellow.
Bright like a gall bladder spurt!
What the fuck?
It screamed its way
out of me
onto the roadside.
What the fuck?
The Burger King toxin
rushes to gravity’s end.
What the fuck?
I ate too fast!
(It would have dripped its essence into my lap if I delayed)
What the fuck?
I’m poop girl,
and need a bathroom.
The GPS can’t see one.
What the fuck?
It took 5 hours to drive a mountain trip of 3.
No signs say: “LAVATORY”
What the fuck?
Invent a seat that opens up in the car
with a hollow bowl for bile…
What the fuck?
Put one in all the luxury models.
Then CHARGE LESS!

I
skipped
outside

ready
to paint
the
dew:

day!
then
fell:

rainbow
toe prints
everywhere:
dew-drops!
