Ballet of Sorrow

Her movements express a sadness
As she dances to lost love
The center-stage reeling of emotion
While the orchestra throbs on;
And the ballet maiden weaves a lift
Though no one sees hidden tears--
Except a performance for art's glory
Unaware that her eyes can't see
The audience's waved ovation.

Juicy Orange

flesh of orange pulp
bursting on juicy glasses---
to quench summer's heat

What Does the Fox Say

brown fox needing food
in middle of night's display--
yak yak yak, she screams


the moonlight sends beams
"i can't eat that,where's the cow?"--
feline yakkks again

silently she hunts
the cow jumps over the moon--
fox mooos to trap it!



What Does The Fox Say, Skat's Contest
Ashley Conte
the fox goes yakyakyak, then moos to get the cow

Beautiful Sunset

The beauty of a sunset dipping
arranged just like a color chart,
that gives a cherished glimpse 
of perfection at eventide- -
This  dreamy romantic setting, 
perfect for a summer's bride
when twilight scene of grace, 
inspires me in my art- -
and cottage's lighting casts 
it's haunting reflection in the sea
while touching the warmth 
of the  curtain's window-sill, 
i taste a  paradise so free.

Fruit Salad

apples grapes peaches on tray
silky rinds explode 
flesh blended with milky cream
nectar squirting juice,
add cherry toppings
toothy- fruit
binge!

Boat of Freedom

Hazel the eyes that dim on flight
And gazing low, she pauses there
On royal boat to rest on quay.
Fair princess knows what to rewrite
While bridal court duly prepares
Against her will, she rows away.

Between Graveyards

between old graveyards--
young cherry blossoms ripen
in dead of winter

Tears Hard As Shells

Her gaze traces an island
Scanning a plagued village;
Tears swell from a tidal fury
raking  bushes, shells--
In Maldives, she wails 
For lost daughters.

Personal Memories

Dear Auntie, play with me now and let’s ignite,

With a plucking of guitar strings, the hours incite

A score of lyrics jiggling as my thrills excite;

Wondering how those grainy sounds can take flight

That a baby like me needs to make do-re-mi right!

Clock

CLOCK
running 
with footprints

no chance to turn back
for unspent revelries
where love's seasons fall in haste

" precious moments ceased by time's hands"
