The dew knew

 The dew knew

For the dew could see

Peering at me

It knew

I could not escape

The piercing gaze

Clouds in my coffee

 To all who had some dreams 

Once I did

You were in them

Only problem

You had already

Awakened

Grace

 Grace 

Having Grace does coincide with gracefulness

Left at loti

 Left at Loti 

Take a left at Loti then paddle exactly

Thirty-three strokes 

through the pungent thick pickerel purple

past the anhinga in cypress preening

then repeat exactly back to the Lotus.

Fairie lure

 Fairy lure

Long in stillness lay I motionless

Perchance perhaps in the wild wind

I may someway lure a fairy in

Most elusive these little nymphs Faery lure 

When the moon is full

And the dandelion too

Set your net above 

Soon she’ll come to you.

Jump

 Itchetucknee portal

Go ahead, it's just beyond railing

Go ahead, stand atop I'll hold you

Go ahead, soon you shall be sailing

Go ahead, we shall make it through.

No time

 No time

No time for

Rhymes or

Clever lines

No time for clouds 

Moving past

The sun upon

The rain kissed

Ground

No time

When the 355

Holds you

Clinging to

Time

Love bug hits

Call it timing

Call it fate

About the time

The love bug splattered

Ending one love affair

She crossed with her

Dollar General things gathered

It was love at first sight

She never knew what hit her

You stink?

 The roseate spoonbill was far, far over the lake

When suddenly a message it did make

I tried to discern what was scrolled 

Messages can come from anywhere I’m told.

3200?

 Some days before you have a chance to say

Wonder why I’m set on thirty two hundred in

the shade at plus one in manual when an

Osprey decides he doesn’t respect your

settings, so you in the usual stoked way

shoot and pray, and if all else is over or under

Exposed

Call

Ray or Dick and correct it!

Gator school

 Gator school

You know sometimes I think the gator mother

lets the little ones go much too soon

there are so many things sister and brother

fail to learn in the hard knocks class room

Like greed is deadly

A frog is not always a frog

All fishermen aren’t kindly

It’s sometimes better to

just sun on the log.

A Starr

 A Rico Redskin

In the beginning

In my punt pass and kick

Trophy Redskin helmet 

I was going to be a Starr

And throw that pigskin

Over the East River Mountain 

Looking back at my ‘pass’

A life of incompletions

Interceptions 

and drops

I could of been a contender 

I could of been a Green Bay Packer

Had not that ten foot high

goal been erected in the back yard.

For it clearly said

Go West young man

Find Jerry and join the NBA
