Behold the fearnought
oracle,
From a merry mirador
Shunning any veneration

Dancing under resolute
moon light
Faineance and quiescence
The cowl of the
heterolite polyhistor

Proteus' transmogrifying
landscape yields delitescent
spectres

Kilkenny cats tango their bane on
a shivering earth--
tempora mutantur
et nos mutamur
in illis

The merry trenchant
oracle mambos on
rumbustiously
in a state
of rhathymia,
in an airy arena.
Toro, Toro!

"All Over the Place" by David Hart

Trees love their roots
And the wind is made up of
Zillions of itty bitty
Spirits of people, flowers,
Sea and sky, endlessly
Tickling our shy little
Smiles.

Monkeys love their bananas
And the ocean is made up of a
Trillion gazillions of
Laughing rain drops.

I love my cheeks
Because I get thousands of
Soft tingly little kisses
From you
That make me
Tinglelicious
All
Over
My
Face.

"The Mansuetude of Life" by David Hart

"The Mansuetude of Life" by David Hart

Life's mansuetude greets
Its caitiff guests.

The Clamor, then the Silence.

An Antaen prediliction
To contemn prospicience just
Is, alas.

The Serenity of Silence,
Then the Stentorian Ado.

The Sybyl's palaver, her
Paraclete's schwarmerei--
Such tsuris.

Is, Life just is.

Let's venerate analeptic
Serendipity.

The Still, then the Fracas.

Fractious giaours executing
A galvanic gavotte
In a paroxysm
Of tergiversation

The quell of silence before
The rumble.

Arete. Let us all dazzle with
Noble arete.

"Rip Van Winkle's Crimson Tears" by David Hart

"Rip Van Winkle's Crimson Tears" by David Hart

Rip Van Winkle's crystal crimson tears
Shatter as sea gulls flit and cheer

A child's toy building doth tumble and crash
While a moon sky casts a rumbling flash

Rene Descartes ponders in an iron stove
Mining his mind for the treasure trove

Siggy Freud dreams of tunnels and holes
Riding a big cigar scrapping other's souls

Majesterial Mercury preens his taleria in bliss
Musing and fretting, his thoughts quite amiss

Rip Van Winkle's blood red years
Fail to quell the fanfaronade of tears

Rumplestilskin rows in a blue yellow kayak
Up to the sun in a fervid fulgurant attack

From the fear filled misery of a military trench
To the quiet muted cries of a hard park bench

Not much ado for a hero these days
The hero's in a cardboard box which forever sighs

Longing for just one empathetic caress
Now worn down with a soul full of duress

Rip Van Winkle's sanguine sorrowful tears
Yield scant surcease to a deluge of fears

"The Giddy Tree" by David Hart

"The Giddy Tree" by David Hart

Giddy tree, oh giddy tree
You tickle my funny bones
You see

Your branches swirl and twirl
And you look all gnarled and
Ready to unfurl

You creak and swing with
Ease
In a sweet swirling and
Affectionate breeze

Feisty tree, oh feisty tree
Butterflies dance
And fall in a frenzy
At your knees

Silly tree, oh silly tree
Ladybugs sunbath and linger
Giddy on your leaves

Limber tree, oh limber tree
You give and you live
A delight to the
Sight
and always you please

Dreamy tree, oh dreamy tree
Love birds surround you
and like adventurous ships sailing on
Sprite and dazzling seas

Charming tree, oh charming tree
Little children squeal and tickle
and swing on your arms in
the breeze oh so fickle

Mysterious tree, oh mysterious tree
The sparrows adore you
The squirrels they implore you
The owls ever asking you,
Who, who, who
The stars with certainty
Know you are no fool

You are a funny and twisty and
dreamy and mysterious and
wonderful and charming
tree, you

"Escaramouche" by David Hart

"Escaramouche" by David Hart
(Oppqi denne dvask mork dosig himmel)


Behold the sparrows in the whispering trees
What is? Who is? Why is?
This katzenjammer mien of mine
Oh me oh me oh my oh.

Spatchcocked into the All in a
Vorpal vortex--repining, moiling
and resiling.

O this bouleversement--
A multifarious truculent
Heart--fie upon't foe.

A fiesty fantod for this
Hobbledehoy who anon
Helter-skelter tumbles
Through a fulginous
Parthian shaft and forthwith
Is sent to Coventry

Dendroid friends--remosed
And at attention in
Rectitude.

Now, in this scheheradzadian
and numinous site.
Now, sensing in delight
the petrichor.

Alas, repining and
denying the
Eldritch diablerie ooze
That ooze is now
the denier cri.
Viceral quagmire
Of sorts

Sitting and fidgeting
on this bench--
A bel-esprit
Attending an interminable
Barmicide feast.

An appentence for an apposite
Arabesque desiring and deserving
An absolutely alluring alembic.

Rene Descartes you just
began to start
In a stove in the dark.

Now a passel of confaulating
Swallows
Ebullient in flight
Salute a cluster of
Obmutescent natty trees.
