Summation

Though trance seems dumb behind din’s bawl
romance beams hum defined win call, -
know glance gleams come, unbind, spin ball -
so chance teams, plum aligned enthrall,
flow’s dance dreams sum combined in all…

Missionary

MISSIONARY

Day dawning,
fresh morning,
see the bright sun sending rays of light!
Stop yawning,
cease mourning,
be the bright son, mending ways of life!

Cause Dreams Effects

Rippling outwards bird of Time
converts for unseen reason
aspirations into rhyme
whose trace breasts space and season
to face fair future's pantomime
with dreams no hand has lease on...

Poetical Rules

Poetical forms
should serve, and not be served,
what, deserved, conforms?

Muse poetical
mocks lock's lined paradox box, shocks
re...role versicle

Poetical rules
should be ingrained then ignored,
only the heart schools

Pevolution

Pathways towards parthenogenesis
though today’s Science Fiction may seem,
tomorrow shall channel - no pen*s is
indispen[i]sable, that’s a pipe dream!

Up the Garden Path - 0877 - Acrostic

Up the garden path she led him,
Private joke she told herself,
To sacrifice his precious self
He, half blind went to the brim,
Enjoyed close shave, then cut it trim.
Garden path walks wily woman's whim!

Emotional Immaturity

EMOTIONAL IMMATURITY

Affection to some seems affliction
who spurn love, too turn up each tooth –
construction returns to constriction
as they burn up the promise of youth...

Little Lucinda

LITTLE LUCINDA

Little Lucinda came to tea,
she wasn’t asked by you or me,
but when she left it seemed that she
and sunlight would for ever be
linked henceforth to eternity.

Wings - 1290 - Initial Version

Shutters unpinned, Spring pings flight.
Wings leave ground mutter, unpinned,
kiting with the current wind,
flowing freely towards the light,
unfettered, playful, bright,
to challenge eternity, on hope alight.

Pigalle V - 0117

Where the stranger brandy sips
when his taunter stands and strips,
man she haunts with hands and hips,
then she vaunts bare glands and nips,
again she flaunts fair fans and lips,
there the stranger, randy, tips.
