"Hail Metropolis!" (nature)

A Poem by Butch Decatoria

Chapbook "Hail Metropolis!" (Nature)


BUTTERFLY
A dangerous thing.
Inspirations' fragile wings.
Metamorphoses.

BARRIER REEF
Great walls dividing.
Vast cold deeps from Summer seas.
"Hail Metropolis!"

LOTUS FLOWER
Morning--Star-burst--bloom.
Floral crown on tranquil lake.
She walks on water.

SEAHORSE
Pregnant father sways
Rocking chair to Oceans' gait.
Champions patience's race.

BOMBYX MORI
White Mulberry leaves,
Veins of Univoltine wine.
Silk, worm's waste of time.

ORCHID
Soft petals open.
Easy her wild poetry.
Medicine and muse.

LAVENDER
How like a feather
Dancing meadows' Royal hue.
Perfumes of twilight.

OWL (Query)
"Who?" Rather than tweet
In the dark keenly can see
All her nameless prey.

DEATH VALLEY
Akimbo cacti.
Near the scenic highway roads.
Flail in Hell's hot suns.

TSUNAMI
Deaths' devastation.
Chaos drowns all the petty
Wars and last concerns.

COMMUNING
These very mornings,
I awe as the blue ocean drinks
The sky bleeding gold.

DINOSAUR
All we have are bones.
Our flesh once Giants : lies, dust.
My feelings extinct.

SUNFLOWER
A golden pinwheel.
Tall and proud, the face of day,
Burns bright love's bounty.
