For those who should
Be on watch
In our defense
Opted for a romance with her

He took me and nourished me.

My tissues soon regained...

The joys and pleasures of drinking
Having been asleep and submerged
Re-awakened and buoyed up
As a herald of the great war within
Never ceasing but ravaging my soul
A wave tossed to and fro

fell and broken, snared and taken
Bruised...

The Ruba’iyat of Créteil Lake – Part Seventeen

Of late the tepid cold only rebousse poil her coyness
Nowhere the slushy mud caked into strands of crunchiness
Even the over-mothering coots let their chicks roam all alone

In what has become a clamorous and annual national bickering piece!
