It is raining, It is wet

It is raining, it is wet

Boots shoes flips flops plod plosh the soft ground

Mash mush, the earth rises into the shoe

The foot descends on terra pliable wet and mushy

With the mush mash, rise the cut disheveled hairs of the green grass

Pink bloated tubes of throbbing worms

Thick sticky clods of the liquid brown ground

Mash mush they become an imprinted collage on the floor

Splish splosh little boots golosh through

Newly formed lakes and rivers in recess

Created by erosion of the earth shapes, the mini deluge

From their arks the little soles have left

now to explore the world reformed

In which pink remains of former earth shapers lie

In holes from the explorer soles shaping earth

With mash mush splish splosh

For it is raining and earth must be shaped

By the soles of the explorer

The Fisherman

He threw the gray net out

Bubbles rose as the net sank

And the wind blew on

As the waves crashed against the boat

 

Only a heavy net

 Of water, kelp came up

 And the wind blew on

 As the waves crashed against the boat

 

 Like a tornado throwing down a house

 His net flew to the wooden deck

 And the wind blew on

 As the waves crashed against the boat

 

 For three nights he had thrown his net out

 Battling the waves and the wind  

 Heaving back ropes full of the leaves of the sea  

 In despair, he threw the net as the wind blew on

 And the waves crashed against the boat

 

 The wind blew

 With the waves crashing

 As his gnarled hands

 Pulled the gray worn net

 

 Under a crimson sunset

 A boat crashing against the winds and the waves

 Sailed home full of fish and a fisherman  

 

When Winds Come Convened

Oh how the winds convene,

Oh how zephyrs come

Oh how the gales blow

Oh how breezes hum


For they were convenient

Good for all to blow

For they sought to assemble

They desired to flow


Up through stars skyly

Between branches burdened

among streams briskly

the clouds they beckoned


Vented wound around

drafts drift slightly

squalls sung surround

tempests tug tightly


Note Boreas east zephs

At Aeolus beck enthralled

Never bagged, will inspire

the stillest heart hauled


Oh how the winds came

Oh how zephyrs vented

Oh how gales exclaim

songs breezed haunted
