Sovereigns of the Seasons

Solstice Promises
Sun hides for many moons, Lethargic laps, sets, rises. Chilled cries and soft moans Wait for solstice promises.
 • Graeme McAllister
Sleepers’ Shadows
Eyes droop like sullen skies.Wind times drifting heartbeats.Minds loosening their tiesFollowing the sun’s retreat.
 • Graeme McAllister
Spore Eruption
Memories coalesce, law lapses. Ripe mulch erupts outside reason. Seed to stem, the map collapses Fungal fruits speaking treason.
 • Graeme McAllister
Monarch, Architect, and Mason
Monarch, architect, and mason Descends on wire breath Onto silvered bastions. Filigree forest, web wreath.
 • Graeme McAllister
The Gold Man
Slow September crawls the land, Leaves lose green, dry, thin. Glass hours throwing sand Grains clinging to the rim.
 • Graeme McAllister
Sailing Pips
Shared dream, diamond seed Wait within a growing globe. Apple hands sign the deed. The future's listening lobe.
 • Graeme McAllister
September Slipping
Summer slows, autumn flows. We breathe, we still, we look upon The waning light’s gentle glow.
 • Graeme McAllister
Dandelion Lyre
Wind tongues grip, lift,  Curl, rasp and whisper.  Seed songs cast adrift  On the uncaring ether.
 • Graeme McAllister
The Itching Wind
Pinching a beleaguered sun. Frantic picks on citrine strings Will not deny drumming autumn.
 • Graeme McAllister
Chrysalis Spills
Caterpillar crawls, graceless growth  Syncopated steps on the leaf.  Chew knowledge to churning broth
 • Graeme McAllister
Honey Alchemy
The slow slink of honey drips, Free, fragrant, intoxicant, idle. Duality of pollen pips
 • Graeme McAllister
Solar Dictator
Gazing, Blazing, solar dictator. His gold gauntlet of reason Pinches, singes silken ether
