Carl Carr Basile has been writing poetry since 1976. His work has been widely published in numerous ezines. Today he focuses his attentions on writing novels, short stories, and poetry, as well as taking occasional breaks to jam using his cornucopia of class guitars.
\*surfeit*\
prismatic tides
sun catcher
a chance to rise
sand sifter
lyric poetry and song
rondeau recitals
meditations
vanished glories
impenetrable themes
green shades of spring
creeks run deep
woods and grass
lily and violet
colors that surround
winged wandering feet
sweet breath
sun’s heat
whispering shadows
woodland cries
mythic lovers
twisted trails
desolate forest
blissful forgetfulness
ho vistouna lupa
sul sentiero
\*status quo*\
children
still play
in our streets
wiry boys
cute girls
bright smiles
sweet and friendly
i buy cold
lemonade
at
the girls’ stand
wave at them
as i pass
but now
a few years
past
lemonade stands gone
as they reach
pre-teen
to acknowledge
or wave
at them
makes me
suspicious
this unknowable
world
tips
and turns
tumbles and burns
