Little Lolita was a feminine sweet-tempered girl
frilly and lacy with a large forehead curl
heels she wore were nineteen inches too high
her hair is piled up, to reach stars in the sky
(chorus)
Lithe light Lolia showing her ilk
sashaying daily in lace, satin and silk
causing men to go incredibly dumbfounded and wild
pretending to be innocent like a six-year-old child
Little Lolita, as intelligent and bright as the stars
descended from a long line of Russian Czars
an urban beauty who was born in New York City
avid conversationalist whose gossip is exceedingly witty
(chorus)
Lithe light Lolia showing her ilk
sashaying daily in lace, satin and silk
causing men to go incredibly dumbfounded and wild
pretending to be innocent like a six-year-old child
We want the best for our heroine, she makes us smile
I sing her praises as I clean out my pig’s awful stile
big bully, a mean murderous mindset
how does he get by with this?
he secludes his victims
why do I get lost in my artwork for hours at a time?
why do I sit in a recliner for days not watching the droning tv?
Why do I use my tv as a radio?
why do I not sort my closet?
why do I resist dyeing my white roots?
why do I avoid the worst tasks for days at a time?
why do I get jury duty again?
why do cars nearly blow me off the highway?
why do I feel twenty when I am seventy-four?
why?
The western sky fades,
holding neither day nor night,
only their meeting.
For a moment, even trees
seem uncertain of their names.
By George P. Lumayag
The dark clouds are hovering my beauty.
Though I’m lonely
but the clouds are kissing and hugging me.
No doubt my beauty shines at nightfall.
Then the wind hugs me
and it bumps on me at daylight.
No doubt my beauty
leads away.
As I go with the wind
And we fly high up in the sky to dream of the best flight.
mood inhibitors
needling nerves
outspoken opinions
personable persuasions
quicksilver attitude
the day begins at morning light
rooster crowing, terrific sight
five to six is this time of day
wake up wake up, it’s time to play
your stomach growls at half past noon
not the liquor, it’s much too soon
soup and salad, excellent choice
add devils food cake, extra moist
timetable is your decision
fulfilling your unique vision
wipe away all despair and gray
dip yourself in prayer, quick sashay
dance, skip, hop, jump, learn your own tune
reach for the stars, swing from the moon
marvelous day, put out the light
sleep well my darling, nighty night
upon one thin reed
a small sparrow balances dusk~
gold ripples below.
the lake holds the sinking sun;
silence steadies both of them.
The squirrel stood before the jack-o'-lantern
as though attending a lecture.
Light spilled through the carved grin,
goldening his whiskers,
his paws,
the small gray fur of his chest.
The pumpkin gazed outward
with its permanent astonishment.
The squirrel gazed inward.
Neither moved.
For a moment,
the evening seemed to contain
two different kinds of mystery:
one illuminated from within,
the other asking why.

daring darling Darla Doppleganger
effortlessly energizes eleven eager eaglets
frenzied frantic flock, flippantly flying and filming
gathering geese and ganders in gardenia gardens
happily harboring handy hardy herd of hysterical herrings
popular pretty persnickety picky Pollyanna-like Patty
prissily prepped powderpuff perfectionist Petunia Pratt
prideful pressure provided by perfectionist Pratt

the king’s commands are not taken lightly
he is living with women
there is no compliance
amber leaf falling,
autumn carries it farther
than the branch can dream
