As I lay curled in grandmother’s arms;
dreaming intently of butterflies fluttering.
Scented fields bestowing pungent charms;
where I envision honey bee wings a puttering.
Dreaming intently of butterflies fluttering;
weaving amid long blades of green grass.
Where I envision honey bee wings a puttering;
in the soft breeze that blows abruptly pass.
Weaving amid long blades of green grass;
I stalk a lumbering caterpillar marching by.
In the soft breeze that blows abruptly pass;
suddenly I am aroused by a doting sigh.
I stalk a lumbering caterpillar marching by;
scented fields bestowing pungent charms.
Suddenly I am aroused by a doting sigh;
as I lay curled in grandmother’s arms.

content to bask in my warmth.....
a roaring fire glows

I was curled up
with Shakespeare
on frayed pages
with dog ears
marveling
at the depth of words
nuances read
between lines
knowing that
many hands
had turned
the same pages
reaching
different conclusions
and evoking
myriads of emotion
my fingers
touched the spine
shivering
with history
connected
through thought
and with imagination
running wild
and I mourned
for the children
in todays world
who's Shakespeare visits
on flashing lights
and computer bites
lost is
the old world charm
such as Elizabeth wrote
and Robert devoured
ferociously
my tears fell
upon parched pages
leaving
an indelible stain
that would be seen
and felt by others
who reached and touched
the words
I realized that
tears on a screen
would only be
wiped away
without memory
of the emotion
that was elicited
leaving nothing at all
for history
to record...

Today's a good one as I chuckle to myself
What could go wrong, am loved and in good health
On top of the world
My toes are curled
They point to the skies and my happiness swells

Limerick
Her skin white, drained
Her expression dark, pained
Eyes staring out, completely blank
Hair lifeless, dank
Her fingers curled, still
In her mouth, a cyanide pill

Curling keys . A fork of bees. Pan out to the thoughts of temperature. Radius unforeseen. Ten laughing giggling elves on a trout trampoline. Policing the avenues of river and stream. While external energies arrive on a moon beam.
Twenty-six copper kettles sit on a shelf in a line. A horizontal view is never ideal in a cavernous vault of a dinning hall. One should not sip nectar of pea. Nor shout at onions. Tempt you not by the snow orbs melting on chocolate soup? Grateful to dishes are we? Great wisdom of cup.
Take no heed to jaded sperms of fallen ogres. Meaning is lost in an internal jelly of a plasma time. So go ride the tree then.
PHILANDERING. PICKING. PICKLE. PLACING. PLACE. PACE. PLUM.

Limerick
in the sweet echo of love,
these moments in between,
feel the melody of me . .
let me slowly cradle around your song
- come, and get lost in my depth -
close your eyes as i whisper,
this is where you belong

Rhyme
We race through the night
Our minds intertwined
Brazen abandon
Our only design
We swoop through the air
Her fine feelers quiver
A shooting star flares
We gracefully whirl
My hands on her back
I feel her deep purr
Tingling my skin
And stirring her fur
I feel her thoughts
As she feels mine too
Full of mischief and warmth
As excitement breaks through
Encouraging each other
Temptation is bliss
Daring to continue
We dive through the mist
Skim over the lake
Fresh liquid so cold
Reflecting our grace
Wild and uncontrolled
The stars light our path
Like a million fireflies
Melting into eternity
As we glide through the skies

peaceful dreams in its warm lair
hibernating unaware

The Cat
??Licking, Licking?
Grooming himself
?Licking licking
?Scratching himself
?Licking licking?
Pampering himself
?Licking, Licking
?Biting Himself?
Yeah, How Gorgeous!?
All curled Up?
On the purple velvety mink blanket

I gaze into familar eyes
Washed they were in living lies
A lover's touch to blind the mind
Naive to one so inclined
Keys to heart all bent and broke
Weighted words that choke the throat
Flippant in fidelity
Bourban drink and stranger's fees
A love I thought we kept well fed
Lies at my feet, curled and dead

Masculine female
with little splats of femme
I like the boy in you
It's what got my attention
but your heart beats
purely feminine
your so unique
I I think I need a vitamin
to handle a dose of you and me
such intensity rarely exists
in the heterosexual world
I'll be your girl if you'll be
my girl.
you have little distinct features
that makes you irresistible
Cap on backwards
but your lashes are curled up
It's like the best of both worlds
and I am a sucker
she let you go
so now it's me you
should pucker up for.
