Good ‘n Wild with Bad ‘n Tame went awondering
On whimsical wings spinning together a tornado
Only exhaustion rested their reality of much ado
Don’t debated do, as wildly a passion conquered…

‘Never take on the wild for it leaves all forsaken’

When good looked...Read More

My mobile is a purple turtle. Made in Red China by brain dead slave labourers. It has some wonderful features. These include: 

Free TV. Pull up the delicate aerial and away you go. Ten channels and no licence. See the...Read More

stripped down hunter version
painted matt black all over
no black box tech
just a pilot and a gun sight

dodging from cloud waiting to nail you
lightweight aerial killer
even then 20 tons of metal
5 lighter than her sisters

three dimensional sky dance 
this pilot knows...Read More

He painted with emotions from a palette of words

Found himself in a forest of light green foliage

Threw his colours and ink pots high into the air

Waited for streams of consciousness to settle

Until sentiments found sentences on their own


The prism of...Read More

Crimson baron,
the scarlet fumes from your tale pipe
paints the sky 
with steel blue dye

Duke of the corporeal death plane,
your splatter reign
brings a barrel of spitfire pain

As you hide in the cadaver clouds,
waiting to vulture dive 
like a mercenary bird of...Read More

'The Americans have a new bomber. The Flying Fortress. We will soon fight it when they attack our cities...'

Otto was posted back to France after a year.
His Russian escapade was over.
In that time he became a man.
A cold blooded aerial...Read More

“Where is the Lover?”



Where is your Lover?
He is in your smile
where he kissed you
when you were fast asleep
bodies pressed into
burning heat
the fruits of passion 
tasted hours ago
before you walked out 
the door onto 
the white noise street
through cold mist and
falling...Read More

The Squirrel
Agile, gray-brown fluff
 burying acorns in the yarded scruff,
future mighty oak spawned nests of hope
 stretched out branch trapezed along a tightrope,
chatter banter circular frolicking unfaint
 tail challenge waving screech complaints,
acrobatic voyeur of the crowned aerial topography
 where forest...Read More

Initially, an attempt 
sought regarding Das scribe,
yours truly donning checkerboarded rawhide
collared, cuffed oversize raiment, pride
and prejudice obscured
courtesy hand-me-downs
couture also decking out

alley oop trapeze artist bride
of Frankenstein grooming in attendance
with her bonafide
circus motley crew, a veritable
monster mish mashup 
happenstance didst decide
unlike...Read More

A green day is seen as the sun rises up from the East horizon	
The green day which every farmer desire to encounter each and every day,
Day by day as his crops sprout from his tilled land,
The land which he went...Read More

 A summer delight is a butterfly's dance
 Fluttering on a summer breeze
 In beautiful ways how they entrance
 With an aerial ballet amidst the trees

 Gossamer wings in beauty's hush
 Their caress bring flowers to bliss
 Each tender kiss...Read More

Two butterflies I saw one summers day
Mesmerized me with their antics in flight
Looked like an aerial ballet display 
A dingy skipper and one that was white.

They landed on a rock warmed by the sun
Both taking a rest from their dance...Read More

I sit in silence with my thoughts
to watch the sun slowly rise, on the red ribbon of dawn
as it splays its glorious glow across the flowering meadow
casting small shadows in motion dancing with the grass

Beyond the patch of purple asters,...Read More

MY TREE - IT SHALL SURVIVE

Beside the Kinta River still it stands
Colossus of the primal forest panoply
Residing native of the fecund land
It’s limbs supporting graceful arcing canopy
A wondrous teeming aerial village live

The children saw the glory and the fame
   The high-wire acts of aerial bravery
Adults could see the hang-dog looks and shame
   We knew the truth, performers' misery

Behind the scenes they rued the life they led

YOGA  2019

A passionate follower of the mental and
physical discipline Yoga,
For the past 7 years, enjoy pose of cobra,
Whilst still jittery about Aerial lessons, and
Still a little scared.
Was in my fifties, when my friends in fact dared,
Me to start lessons,...Read More

Why worry...?

Within the same breath
yukon catastrophize and
make mountain range
out of molehill mental material
impossible to scale
even with best Sherpa as guide.

Take advice from expert
what if...worse case scenario
time and again no fiasco
never makes cerebral showdown

most horrendous debacle
defies savviest soothsayer
subsequent anticipatory anxiety
exhausted body...Read More

IT’S ABOUT TWO FLIES
by 
JOHN M. ARRIBAS



In a Garbage Dump Two Flies Met on a Rotting Bun
Suddenly Realized They Were Father and Son
Hadn’t Seen Each Other since Lunch at the Sty
Twas the First Time Sonny Had Attempted to Fly


Dad, You...Read More

He’s the devil in your tormented dreams
The shadowy, nightmarish silhouette imp
of a thousand horror newscast,
who muzzles your petrified screams
Keeping those silent eyes
glued to the vile, video killing screen
Black Plague monstrosity figurine
showing you a million different exits
from the corporeal plane
Bungee craze...Read More

The dragonfly nymph
An aerial acrobat; speed
On the wing, unmatched

Ah what fair moan
laden fantasy lassitude looms
large if this
chaste ole buoy got cornered
into an alleyway
by a bevy of beefy

buxom babes dead set
on hounding this
doggone codger anyway
shape or form eying
sole asylum madly
sprinting thru a narrow

cookie cutter archway
overlooking a multilane beltway
risky business...Read More

 And so it begins on a day in spring
 On a plant bearing a Greek* god's name
  It's as fit for a god as it is a king
 And the spring breezes caress it just the same
