The Ambience Tells It All
The full moon rising slowly above the horizon;
The light from the lampposts in the street
Appear misty in the rain that comes as an evening guest!
The passers-by returning home after the day’s work;
Carrying headaches and fatigue with them under hats,
Wearing raincoats, as aliens act as if they all are strangers!
To the girl with the bouquet, drenched in love,
The reflections of the light like mirages under her feet,
The twilight, the wild cries of the birds going helter-skelter
Appear to be the harbingers of bad omens!

Monocrostic (Birthday of Daniela Tablate)
Ambience
Ambience wants to
sign up garden plants with collections of
not big white flowers to
work for
free as
ATM security guards. But it’s too shy to
do it.
Rare blend of grace
Bright shining face
Vibing the place.
Under the intense fog, blurry regime of the city street
Over the condense hope, starry night on the sky fleet
without doubt the sea
hued embellished blue carpet
don't trample the view
Ever ponder I,
who hears the distant traffic haul,
The planes up high above me droan.
the whistle of the wind through trees,
And gentle rustle of their leaves.
I look beyond my window sill,
no stars tonight, just low set cloud.
And ever do I ponder still.

Chill shadow fall covering gray
Spark ember glow in the distance
Field reverberate muffled bray
Soft cool silk silent ambience
Earthward lonesome darken path lay
Veil on penchant earth's fluorescence
Two romantical waltz their way
Full laughter and lost innocence
Whereas a billion stars astray
Soft cool silk silent ambience

Make sense of sight
In beams of light
Move with clear ease
In this life lease
Mind what you face
As joy brings grace
Make good cheer heal
The way you feel
Meet and greet well
Just where love dwells
Move through life's gate
In-sync with fate
Mind how truth binds
True faith that finds
Meet on these streets
With charms most sweet
Mull in silence
Purge all violence
Make what you will
As soul reveals

Ply puzzle play
Sight sensuous say
Craft clever choice
Please profound poise
Drain discourse deep
Watch wonder weep
Note nothing nice
Sense surprise spice
Jazz juggling joy
Pique private ploy
Lift lovely looks
Boast brilliant book
Let laughter lift
Glimpse gaming gift

A flavorous scent
Permeated today
A fruity smell
That brought in full play.
A feeling of mirth.
A sprinkle of joy.
A grandma who knows
The love of a boy.
Anticipating
A wonderful day.
I began to dance.
My troubles away.
A flavorous scent.
Permeated the day.
A fruity smell
That brought in full play.
A crackling sound as something splits off and falls further in.
A popping
A glimmer of yellow
We sit mesmerized, staring not at the fire, but at our friends
who have turned into darkened shadows
The trees have gone gray, and the day is cooler now.
our host has brought plaid blankets down from the house.
The teenagers have eaten their fill of s’mores.
They retire to a TV set somewhere to share stories not for our ears.
We care not.
The ghosts of eagerness urge us to share our most hidden stories.
They begin arriving little by little.
Family stories which have never been told
until this campfire
They continue until the embers turn gray.
Stories we will all remember, due to their newness
and the magical ambience of the night.
Change wears a stern face
In a sliding trace
Chance dares risk all pain
In mere glimpse of gain
Choice buys default voice
In a shallow poise
Cheer loves to be here
In brief fancy clear
Chase starts with a dare
In lost touch that bares
Crisp the feeling wild
In a little child
Craft that verse lines bring
In wit that now flings.
Clown tells silent jokes
In authentic poke.
Clear fancy frames each
In a speeding reach.
Craze knows a sure skill
In spill of mad will

Wonder wakes well
Time truly tells
Wander wise wealth
Heap happy health
Apt ambience ask
Bright blossoms bask
Seek spacious say
Draft dazzling day
Make mindset move
Grandeur gifts grooves
Lust lingers late
Face funny fate
Be beyond blame
Note naughty name
Stretch simple sounds
Glimpse gracious grounds
Ask aptly ask
Bright blessings bask
