NEW YEARS BAKE OFF
My Greek grandmother and godmother, cousins,
My grandma baked and cooked homely,
My Nona, my godmother exotically,
Each one perfect, one couldn’t fault either,
Their husbands, playing backgammon
Looked up and winked at each other,
Each one betting a fiver!
Their competitiveness intensely extreme,
They would have won if they’d thought
Of working as...

Curry Makes Me HappyCurry this
Curry that
Dare to add
A burst of flavor
Uniquely spicy
Savory and earthy
Exotically extravagant
Hot or mild bouquet
Ticklish of the taste buds
Enamored colors to entice
Reminiscent of faraway delights

SeptemberSeptember’s serendipitous serenade
Evokes the ebullience of ecstasy
Provokes a prancing promenade
Tingeing the torrid leaf tips
Exacting an elemental excitements
Monumental majesty
Blue-black horizons blending
Exotically enigmatic exigencies
Ruby reds rollicking in the Rockies

Dramatic Monologue
Stuck in the Middle with YouWhen you are alone,
you look at the others
and think
that one had too much ...
time to think
and that one …
well, you surmise,
they are on the brink
of some precipitous ...
evaluation,
about to take a big tumble,
they parade monumentally,
then they fall like the risen

Gratify the devotees whose hunger for the sublimity of art
Even breezes kindly offered its cradle as a humbled guests from afar

The Belly Dancer
The Belly Dancer
Learned private lessons in a club
in Chicago's Greek Town.
Her teacher told her,the bigger the
dancer....the more beautiful.
Being thin was no attribute to see
that skin roll!
When she finally saw a woman of girth
dance, it was like watching the Aegean
Sea.
She was almost in a trance.
Such beauty,...

Sacreddancing Out PublicWe thrive finding freedom
to speak out
to dance around
and sacred shout
to sing full-stop gospel
turn'em out
Outside our secluded cells
of dominant evolution
and protagonist predation theories,
desecrating aparta-schisms,
jingoistic decultured
shameful jisms
Having His MonoTheistic elitist

Extracting all polycultural Truth

May I Love You In My Dreams
May I love you in my dreams as I love you as you are,
As I loved you from distant past so many miles afar.
May I love the hands that touch me, extensions of your being,
As I love thy tender care of my life’s constant overseeing.
May...

Autumnal TeaseDeep within the emerald, jaded summers days
Whilst Mother Nature dances
Exotically lays
In the eyes and minds of human folk
Autumn Elf clambers up
Deep amongst the trees
To whisper words
To tempt her
From summers verde beam
At first she is easily distracted
As a beautiful fledgling flirt
Yet slowly
Through Autumns persistent promises
He softly...

Pirate!This man o' war,
comandeered!
By men to be feared,
the likes you never saw
The hunt for gold doubloon
in the Spanish Main
Must end soon,
the buccaneers getting restless again
To take a treasure ship as a prize
To see,such wealth with ones's own eyes
Satins,silks,pearls and gold,
these pirates,so bold!
Silver,rubies,emeralds and sapphires too,

Alliteration
RicochetMy old life seems monotonous to me now, but I allow it was fine then,
As cobalt skies allow warm butterscotch rays, to linger in the glen.
I worked through those golden days, but most evenings stayed at home;
While life had too little variance, with pizzazz and...

It Was the QuietIt was the quiet that reasoned
With my mind –
As I continued to trudge
In the mundane –
Walking alongside me
Was only I –
Not a shadowed version,
But an exactness –
“But for why beats my heart”
I asked her –
A snicker the reply
Exotically dull –
“Slowly, I die”
My thoughts spoke –
From...
