A Debutante’s Ball to Remember

In the autumn of my life, oft have I recalled that superb summer night,
when I finally experienced my long-awaited heart’s delight.
Family and close friends were all ready for my entry into society,
to celebrate it with a grand debutante’s ball filled with...

The whole of a journey still to be traveled
is much like a novel begun
with threads of the story not yet unraveled
and windings of plot to be spun.
We’ve myriad paths to meander, assess.
The hours are long till midnight’s chime.
It seems like eternity, nevertheless,
‘tis only a twinkling...

Allow me explain
Brethren gathered here for
Custom dictates
Due process prevail
Exaggerated much
Flaws mine-as may seem
Granted the providence of evidence you see
Highly placed the source-allegedly
Inconceivable the idea that falsehoods they be
Jury decide-be it she or be it me
Kissing and telling discretely-of course
Listlessly I will you tell this tale,...

The Chocolate Hills of Bohol

Ancient as creation, true natural wonders,
the Chocolate Hills of Bohol
teem with singularly exotic flora and fauna,
fanciful ferns and big-eyed tarsiers, peculiar primates.
Abundant rain wonderfully adorns them
with a mantle of verdant fashion;
while drought unveils their beautiful brown cloaks,
resembling giant delicious chocolate kisses,
or...

Curvature the plane to the point of distribution
Focus either latitude, asymptomotes are drawn;
Equalling hypotenuese with spiralling revolution
Discretely perpendicular to the course it set upon.

All prinicipals of axis are running through the centre
To rotate intersections where the vertices define;
A conic section tilted either left or right...

(Madame is pronounced with accent on maDAME, the French way)

Near a hole in the wall, with no qualm,
Never seen, sits a frumpy Madame.
Using lotion, she works
Giving smooth strokes and jerks
With her fabulous and renowned palm.

By Andrea Dietrich

*This is the theme of a movie I saw...

Chapter 3: College Preparation

My freshman year started quite smooth
Touch football broke my leg
My luck we had a tennis coach,
That brought things down a peg!

My algebra was like a dream,
Played tennis, found it fun,
And Science Fairs exciting too,
My robots prizes won.
But science then moved up a...

I removed her clothes with my eyes again
she smiled then discretely leafed through my mind
our warm heartbeats tolling in unison
the sunset accents this moment sublime
small talk became a petulant old bore
wrong and right grew trite under evening shade
suits of bone and flesh fresh from the...

I must confess, my poem appears a mess!
Wonder if I’ve lost my touch?
Though it seemed all right, when I began to write,
Did I edit a smidgen too much?
Having honed my rhymes, so many times,
Results are looking somewhat tragic!
Should I take a rest, having done my...

I enter the lottery discretely
For a dollar I do it quite cheaply
I’ve never won a cent
But this doesn’t prevent
Me from giving them my money weekly...

The heat was high and rising
A shower came, but left too soon
   The temp was quite surprising
It wasn't even noon

   They thought it was a mirage 
As they stumbled upon a spring
   The backdrop created a beautiful collage
Their hearts...

Watching her board bathed in fog at the station
Spectacles slide down the bridge of his nose
Usually a blur, not in this situation
Smudges can’t hide every beauty she shows

Lugging a satchel in high heels and cotton
In her left hand rests a statue that grins
Such an odd...

What Fire Ignites the Day?
Whether to stay atop of things,
Or get to the bottom?
Each day offers circus rings,
The center one is Autumn:
Top fame but premature ending.
Side rings more discretely hum,
Contrasting the center ring crowd’s singing.
Side rings hold inner desires dumb,
Often hidden is pregnant Spring,
Steer to...

Such a beautiful dreamer
soft attractions
in pages of Tom Jones
Lady Chatterley's satisfaction
taken to places of impropriety
never recognizing a boundary.
Caution gives way to need
where hearts break and bleed.

In dreams buds open to bloom
slowly, so their fragrance wafts
indelibly breathed in and held
enjoyed to fullest height
as a body becomes...

The air encapsulating sound
extremes, while vision gathering quites down
and carries with it stillness to surround.

Does channel imposition to dismay,
the sound, my enemy thus often in convey
sounds first ~ I hide discretely out of way!

Would escalate by choice or lessen ground,
the stance I take, my hearing...
