She's the Rizz

"Cake and Jingle"
Written by
Aria Sooth wants
And
"Groovy"  A. Staves


She's the "Glam"
Gotta say she's glamorous
Soothing and sexy
Charismatic
Yeah she's got charm

She's the "RIZZ"
You know what I'm saying
With style and class
With main character energy
I love her smile
You know she ain't playin
attractiveness
We all agreed 
she got that
Type of  popular appeal


The soft launch
We got something
Going on
New to you
She and

The Trybullyst

Gold! Gold! Dassel screamed: he had found gold! And so what we were told, he stuffed his pockets and told the fellas to pull him up.They had straddled a well rig used to clean shallow wells to lower him down into the hand dug tunnel.
"On the eastside: yeah the eastside, he began singing dancing around

Premium MemberThis Wanted to Be an Ode to Pain au Levain

Sourdough crumbles under my hands, 
flour thick on the counter, white haze 
same as my father used to breathe in. 

The skin splits where I score it, steam 
unfurling from the center like something 
trying to leave. 

I eat the heel first, next its soft middle, 
then the quiet between bites, imagining 
what’s left of

Premium MemberSanta Claus Was Afraid to Pass Through Port-au-Prince, Haiti

Papa Noël was afraid to pass through on Christmas Day
In the streets of Port-au-Prince. Bullets were being fired in droves
Sporadically, haphazardly. Many people were hiding under beds
Naughty terrorists are like dogs, hyenas in vile forests or deadly wilderness
They are everywhere with big machine guns which are not made in Haiti
The lawless bandits or God-awful devils

Autumn reigns in glory but for a season before 
winter covers her with a quilt of snow.

Premium MemberAu Contraire

Mary was ten and she adored flowers, and she had three pretty sisters;
But, she never could make a garden grow; like stars, losing jade glitter.

Sisters Sarah, Martha and Alice spoiled Mary, for she was the youngest;
Just as lime spring is youngest of the seasons, whereas winter is darkest.

Mary desired a flower garden to tend, where

Au profondeur du Coeur qui aime

Je t’aime
La mélodie
Elle l’a jouée précise
Son cœur lui permet
De vous l’admettre
La vie, elle la voix si belle
L’amitié vous devrez la voir en elle
Vous ne la traitez pas bien
Vous lui donnerez du chagrin
Plus precieuse encore
Mes bras lui rend du comfort
Sans ennuies
Elle prie
Elle vous pardonne
Elle ne déteste personne
Si vous pouvez voir si loin
Tendresse de sa main
Ses larmes
Epargne
Brave

Premium MemberWinter Is Gone

Winter is gone
It's already midnight
Spring is here
With her flowers and presents
We have a new season
Everyone knows the reason
Since the girls are pretty
And the women wear their best, that's right.

Winter is gone
We are sad, it's madness
The world is crazy and long done
I lost my love, my pride
Things are very different
The aunt smokes in the little tent
Winter

Martial Translation COQ AU VIN

Coq au vin (Cook or wine)
by Martial, loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

Hosts always invite you to dinner, Phoebe,
but are you merely an éclair to the greedy?

Hosts always invite you to dinner, Phoebe,
but are you tart Amaro to the greedy?

Amaro is an after-dinner liqueur thought to aid the digestion after a large meal.

Au Revoir Oh Perilous Freedom

Au revoir oh perilous freedom...

Since pledging my troth
to the missus July 25th, 1996
after the comma error
punctuated mein kampf with disequilibrium.

Ever since the notions
of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness
coalesced within the mindscape
attributed to one
or more anonymous forebears
way before the advent of civilization
when written language preserved
(*****sapiens communicated
virtual primal groans and grunts),

nevertheless witnessing inchoate awakening
visa vis

Premium MemberDefeat

All beings must face defeat one day
No one is spared of this mortal tray
Trust me; it is never easy to lose
Your destiny is the chthonian noose
Waiting to hang you by the feet
Now or later, one must face defeat
One must kiss disappointment
For the last time, for the last moment.

You can weep all you want
You can wail

An English au pair with a love for fruit
Worked for a family with loads of loot
When she bit into a pear
Their son bit into au pair
She slapped him, his parents gave her the boot

Au Clair De Plume

Who's knocking like that?

"... in the light of a feather..."

and as bright as full noon

Brunette replies to HarleQuinn

"... is this your spoon?..."

Dialog established

Act  three, Honey Moon

Then Pooh said to Piglet

"... it really is you!..."

a Mile works for Her

and her smile works too



"... you should never pull a brain out before it's time..."

So Harvey kept
