And Some More Poems For Today - April 22

Poetic Storm Troupers

Poetic storm troupers
Now beached like great hump backs
Resting in a plush sea
of carpets and sofas on my living room floor.

What a strange morphology
These lyric half-a-lumps
Each sleepily holding
Wave strewn diamonds and pearls of
Orphic hymns
And great oceanic soundings
The vibrations of which spread wide
Along the majestic California forests and
Waterways..

Wake up you careening caravan of poets
Today is a new day
And humanity needs you

Come spout your poetic verse
Following the celestial highway
Towards the northern star
Till it arrives
Till you arrive,
Till we all arrive
at the pristine shores of
Our sacred park.
