Long Strewed Poems

This is the story of my life,
So filled with joys and strife;
This is the story of my days--
Through countless doorways!

This is the story of my dream--
And of my shimmering moonbeam.

I even laid eyes on her
Moving with a self-assured poise
that came from deep within
was a quintessence of a woman
of ageless assurance and beauty

Ama you are a father 
Father my father
Whose basket of fishes
Sweetened my mother’s dishes
Whose naked feet danced
The jungle drum you drummed.

Father I still remember
Those joyous days
When like brooding hens
You employed your hands
To shield the...

And gladly hopefully in future

I may not always write about you,
About the way your energy,
Caresses my spine,
And sends jolts of electrity,
Racing through my body,
Exploding each cell like fireworks.
I may not write about,
The way my dreams at night,
Fill with you...

A swing stalls mid swings
kicked dirt strewed a ground
a swing seat goes empty
a boy whacks away at clung dirt
     ~~lawn trails a dusty path,

Blue jeans stand at attention

Seasons pass away little by little
time moves hour by hour
Within your branches, your hearth of leaves 
I wait in patience, moment by moment

It controls everything 
Including your mind

A walking soul 
But I have a hard time letting to
The thought of love just scares me now

Hurricane


By Edmund Siejka


There were warnings of a hurricane
People had been through this before
They knew what to do 
Why some of the houses on the water were worth over a million dollars
They would ride it out.

Early in the spring the variable winds and rains fall heavy on grass meadows,
Adding a spring in the turf, waking the mosses on stone walls and stone paths
Purple stems of woodspurge hang in the wet...

escaping problems that kept me awake-
to a lodge by the seashore- where an old
eerie boardwalk creaks near the white sand beach.

To unwind the stress that city life caused,

My squirrels are foraging in the backyard
After days of the snow-covered ground,
They are finding the peanuts I strewed
Jumping and chasing, always they astound.

One, a red squirrel, has recently arrived
From the woodland beyond the meadow,
The grays...

By your ink on this parchment, my thoughts tattooed
I'm drawn to this bouquet; I am left so madly.
Fields of blazing stars, lying randomly, strewed

Happiest are these thoughts deliberately construed.

In the south;
Racing hearts and trembling fingers,
Sirens wailing in the distance
Uniformed men in their well rehearsed stance.
Human roadblocks emitting sweat, stench and saliva.
Metallic birds, hovering and circling the skies yonder.

In the north;
Eyes wide with terror...

Strewed my views on the squires of taciturnity,
