Taking Nirvana to the Country: Sturgill Simpson In Bloom

This is a gorgeous arrangement and some stirring vocals, horns worthy of Motown and slide guitar and strings that pull all the poetry out of Cobain’s song. I had to listen to it 3 times and sing very loudly along with it just to free myself from its spell. I still want more.

Images of Spring in Southwest Oregon

Bridge and Bandon were beautiful in the spring sun. Lots of bright colorful light to capture and carry home

The Last 3 Poems of April

IMG_0059

Day Light Moon

shadow stained mirror or

 A ghostly embryo floating

in a womb of sky?

 

Fresh Water Habitat

Ruffled water,

lilly leaves drift in anchored circles,

birds gabble and croak and whistle

beyond the trees on the far shore

an ice cream truck blares its territorial song

on its daily migration.

 

Paleo Lithic Poems

Spirals of oxydized clay

the eyes of beasts

extinct.

 

Coming soon more April poems in May.

Rhythm and Rhyme

  Tide Lines

Malibu Beach, Malibu Beach

I just like saying Malibu Beach

It bumps of my lips in sibilant clips,

and slants down into the sea.

 

Lady Be Gone

Fly some, flee some

get some freedom.

run some, crawl some

stand and fall some.

grab those bones,

beat that drum until it bleeds

dig some, sow some

wilder seeds.

plant some, grow some

then you can blow some

dark and jagged

ragged and raging

on those windy weedy reeds.
