"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
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

"All Over the Place" by David Hart
"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.

"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.
