Milieu iconography with flashing lights
Smokey gambling rooms—gang wars
Flashy suits and fedora hats in the fights
Neon signs flashing—this world is yours

Hey, get a name with the next phone call
Surely, he can’t really be all that rough
While hanging out in a flower shop stall
Like bowling pins fall...

Scream
horror, fear
thrilling, exciting, ground-breaking
prey, survivor, feminist, misogyny
calling, chasing, hiding
scary, murderous

put your fingers on the chest:
this is an Iconic Test-
you will intimately see
your Highlight Identity
flying from the Human Tree
like a Stork who”s inspiration
will restore an Old Migration
all the void will surely be
just a slightly blurred sea
and you”ll be at home so soon
and your head will...

How lucky am I to live close by the iconic Beachy Head
From below I can hike up a very steep hill 
Though on reaching the top I can feel quite ill
So nowadays I travel by bus there instead

Such very sad stories of troubled souls
Who arrived...

Scurrying minds like galloping horses in tempest
Energy exhausted they search placid places to rest
Any pasture where weary horses can contently graze 
Hewed minds broken can come out of tormenting maze.
On chaotic land such places confused minds can’t get
Reins snapped they rush and sink in sea...

Behind the insatiable appetite of people
Who come to see and appreciate
The work of art in human history
Lies the images and quality of faith.

This beautiful city of Florence
Where a kind of growth and civilisation
Has kept the sentiment of tradition
That carries with it all our admiration.

It is...

The Moon becomes closer,
My cogitations remain jumbled
I escaped the town a while ago
The festering wounds did not heal
Nothing could usher me backward
The surviving solids stayed held tight
All my affections are still within me.

I cannot reckon the stain has gone
My mind was blind, but my heart...

E-arnestly write what they think;

A-re making not their eyes blink.

Little by little by little by far,
high above I followed a bright
shining star,
something special in the air
no doubt a galactic affair,
symbols, trumpets,
resounding on Earth
a special occasion, a birth.
Oh to be in the heavens,
at this time of the year,
as a space shuttle is
used to man-oeuvre us

Kind of Blue in Mood Indigo

Feelin’ kinda blue irony ~
Jazz harmony
In wailing rifs
Of blues mischief

Modal mood indigo moonlight
Jives at midnight ~
Juxtaposes 
Notes with roses

Jeweled mood rhythmic expression
Of reflection -
Songs ingénue
In dusky blues

Inspired by the iconic jazz pieces Kind of Blue and Mood Indigo
