One Flew Over

I knew an old buffoon
quite the gloomy poltroon
who through a stormy monsoon
flew his hot air balloon
and among the Walloon
and Flemish
much to their surprise
did not meet his demise
but with neither a blot
not a jot
nor blemish
at all 
on hand
in the small
6-Government
densely populated
parliamentary constitutional monarchy
3-language country of Belgium
safely did crash land

The Rose of Belgium

My heart yearns to rise early
to have you in company;
Your dazzling native beauty 
attracts the crowd at Tiffany.

Even the birds of Rome 
come on their way to roam,
for, your smile is like a home;
A cozy shelter against the storm. 

Shining hair of ebony,
cheeks that bury deeply, 
voice that sings a rhapsody,
brings to life a fantasy.

Wise Chocolatiers In Belgium

Jean Neuhaus had an apothecary store in Brussels.
He started covering medicines with chocolate, to make it more palatable.
His grandson replaced the medicine with praline.
“a spoonful of sugar”

Belgium Festivals Compete

October 25th, 2020
Belgium All Star Festival
Variety of languages are being spoken
Church of Our Lady of Laeken smiles as she sees them gather
Across from her boats are being decorated for the festivities
We have the best festivals in the world, she thinks

Grand Palace would disagree.
She was haughty, and stuck up, thinking her festival was the top of

Belgium Waffles

Belgium Waffles at Tim's are amazing
Too bad they're loaded with stuff causing weight gain
They have a winner
Breakfast or dinner
This seems like an ad, but stop your complaining

Terror In Belgium, a Pantoum

Again violence shakes our earth
Takes the colours off the light
Dogma and blind faith in no dearth
Floating clouds of born disquiet

Takes the colours off the light
Serial bombs at Brussels airport
Floating clouds of born disquiet
Their suicide bomber’s brutal assault

Serial bombs at Brussels airport
Belgium capital goes into lockdown
Their suicide bomber’s brutal assault
At the headquarter of European Union

Belgium capital

Afghanistan England Iran France Iraq Belgium You

>Afghanistan, England, Iran, France, Iraq, Belgium.

Sorry if your country.  I missed.
I guess I need a longer list.
Of where those IS terrorists, have now struck.
And someone has, had such bad luck.

With explosions sounding in the air.
And the smell of death, everywhere.
Loved ones lost and some are maimed.
Never will life be the same.

With borders open.

Fly Me To Belgium

fly me to belgium 
for i want to meet the queen
and get a glimpse of 
the man who is the reigning king

fly me  to belgium 
for the festivals and things
i'd run with the hip
and ageless in the cool streets

fly me to belgium
for i want to  see dinant
hear those saxophones
and get lost in all

Grey's Spectrum -Brussels, Belgium-

I’m greeted by the freshly laundered dawn,
pale slate linen hung to dry above
a stirring city of collective individuals. 
I cherish moments like these,
when I can step out in to the drying day
without forethought or agenda
and imbibe a city  which has squirmed 
beneath the clouds for a millennium.

And what a different place it would be
