Southee serenade
Foppish fringe flutters..pianist tendrils tinkling..
Flitter finessing leathery fruits..
Caressing..stitched dreams tickled & tailored..
Swing..swerve in clandestine cahoots…
Curve…voluptuous velvety verve..
Wobble seam serendipity tempts..teases..
Sliding across creases..angle architect gliding..
Heaven sent tyro riding blazing trails..
Hellbent brio…Waggers & Trent..Timmy trio..
Touted trinity…selector trifecta..febrile fan affinity..
Tim’s timber hoicks topple Toblerones..
Schadenfreude stats sips.. Oiks suggest Timmy..
Ersatz Test imitator of Jimmy…

Sandys Small Heartsandy has a smaller heart than an artichoke
emotionally a quintessential slowpoke
stomping on others feelings with army boots
ripping out hearts straight from their roots
leaving broken and battered in her wake
as dangerous as any typhoon or earthquake...

Betty White graces a stamp
Betty White lived so long,
they had all kinds of names for her.
She managed to stay America's sweetheart
for a century by being kind and funny.
A heart of gold worn on her sleeve,
she could make everyone smile.
Her sweet face is now on a stamp
while the tributes continue coming.
Her curls sweet and eyes a'glitter but
it's her smile...

Marine Corps USPS Stamp
This stamp brings visions to our eyes
Of years gone by, in summer's skies.
He left to join our freedom's sound;
And band of brothers, there he found.
To guard our freedom, his thoughts turned-
For love of country surely burned;
With comrades joined, to then unfold
a unity of strength untold.
Two hundred fifty years this year
Marine Corps- still, to us so...

Identity Madonna Tribute
She’s not me,
She doesn’t have my name.
Instant transformation,
but chic jeans just don’t fit.
It’s body chemistry,
my scent on her? Rancid.
Baby I’m a trademark,
that’s just an impostor.
I am the legacy.
I know that’s what she’s after.
Stop. There’s just no hustle.
Dad I’m a rich girl now,
mom you would be so proud.
They all want to be me....

Mind like wiresHer mind was beautiful
Like wires
At the back of those old TVs
A riot of colors, ideas criss-crossing
Bouncing off one another, melting, melding
Beautiful like a rainbow.
There was no straight connection
To the relay of things, she said.
And her face, her face!
Varied more constantly than weather patterns
Depending on what channel she was on
What high! But it was her mind
That...

Still in the Good MemoriesDon’t know why we came so close,
Why time chose us—no one knows.
We gave a year, we shared the days,
In little moments, in quiet ways.
Today I held your photo near,
And every memory felt so clear.
I don’t wish to go back in time,
But hating you would feel like a crime.
Whatever we had, it wasn't all wrong,
Some parts...

Mei Ek Naari Hun-Mei ek naari hun..
Fir Kyun lagti sabko bechari hun?
Jawab de dun palat kar agar-
Kehlati ahankari hun..
Aur sar jhuka dun, inke liye-
Mei sanskari ban jati hun..
Kehte hain-
Samaj ka kalyan hoga
Agar mei shashakt hun..
Jab aasman simit Krna ho
Fir udna sikhate h kyun?
Shaam der se ghar chal dun agar-
Hath se nikal jati hun..
Jamaane ke sawalon ka-
Mei Jawab de...

King MouseWho was only one inch tall,
raised in a lab since he was, well...small,
doped on phenobarbital,
escaping o'er his prison wall.
Tell me friend, can you recall
King Mouse?
Who lived in a tidy little hole,
knew when the cat was on patrol?
Though cheese and crumbs he stole,
he never lived on the dole.
Let's sing praise and extoll
King...

Sisyphus and the NarcissusThe Love for Eurydice is challenged by someone else
Orpheus despite his own talents in music
fears he has lost her to someone as talented as she is
refusing to believe his talents are as great as hers
due to the malefactors who wish to be around her

Its clear to me
it aint that complicated
I didn't want to hear it

but he turned out to be shady
and her husband wondered why.

System Overload Rondine Back To The Future TributeWoahhh.. rock and roll. Definitely.
The system may just overload.
A lead foot going down the road.
Soft, a bit smooth? Not remotely.
That sound broke apart inside me,
hearing the guitar my pulse slowed.
Woahhh.. rock and roll.
Man that vibrates, this is heavy.
Music defined by that zip code,
with every lyric those roots showed....
