Best Petits Poems

No greasy treats from chippie van;
I have my starch now au, gratin
with blasted, deconstructed bass,
petits pois, served; in Demi tasse.

No pint of best down at the pub
I drink with chums now at the club;
Prosecco, or a Chardonay
depending on the time of day.

No picking up the...

you were walking along a blossom carpet
holding three yellow calla lilies
i could hear the blue river running along the rocks
toward the cullasaja falls where the water raged
we were like giraffes in the rain, first to feel the drops
in our perfumed outdoor living roam

we lived a...

Cul du sac

Blood tears
Leaking
		slowly
      the empty face
emotions raped


red raindrops
	fancy lollipops

	empty glass
filling with sanguine color

 		drip
	drip
 drip

We are smiles

	en chante
tous


les petits moulins rouges

	tombe 
			casse


	drink well from my veins
sleep in my tears

robbed of heart

arcs of light shadows 
may appear for a short while
 humming quietly
 dancing inside small circles
 they appear and then are gone
 
arcs d'ombres de lumière
 peuvent apparaître pendant une courte période
 fredonner tranquillement
 danse à l'intérieur de petits cercles
 elles apparaissent puis disparaissent

Rappelez-Vous
(English translation below original French)

Rappelez-vous les petits fils 
Qui ecoutaient leurs grand-peres
Raconter des histoires d’ infanteries 
Et de battailles de la premiere guerre.

Rappelez-vous des braves garcons 
Qui s’imaginaient etre des soldats,
Qui plus tard servaient le drapeau American 
En tant que veritables soldats.

Rappelez-vous des pauvres parents
Qui...

In the year gone by, I've been to the top of the Eiffel Tower.
I've walked over sands leading to the Mont Saint-Michel
I've even gazed into the eyes of the Mona Lisa, and realized
This is not what living in France is about.

Listen:

Life in France is driving...

All French cakes are delicious, better
The “ Amandier” and its subtle nuts taste in the mouth,
The “Paris-Brest”, with its sweet praline cream,
Rum Baba, with its sweet taste of liqueur,

The “tarte aux fraises” and its sweet red fruits,
The “Saint Honoré” and his little “choux à la...

Si està convençut que la independència és impossible, dir-los que és impossible de ser silenciós, impossible i no tenir una veu impossible és ser inhumà i acceptar ratlles. Tenim el dret a viure. Creiem en aquesta certesa amb totes les forces del nostre cos i,...

The sky is blue, clear, jovial and ethereal
To welcome with open heart spring which is
So beautiful, fresh, colorful, and at ease
Oh! It’s a reborn again time which is real.

Oh! Friends, it's the most wonderful season
Green lawns and shrubs return to the horizon
The birds resume their...

The Room of the Unrequited
By Roger White
    That evening, stillness permeated the lavender-scented room.  Dusk crept through the windows
smudged by oily fingers, The day’s twilight left a dull umbra on wall and floor.  A beam of 
fading sunlight cast onto...

I bathed, one day, in the Dead Sea,
My belly floated like a piece of wood
The water was so salty, it stung the skin
It was necessary to go out and take a good shower,

I have not known Jesus, me,  nor Jean Baptiste,
I have not known...

Trees, big or small, soothe poets,
Big or small, they are advisors, artists
Who soothe the storms of the lonely souls,
They stand out like magicians
Before the subtle skies,

Trees soothe poets, big or small,
They retain birds and their vermilion nests,
Trees don’t think like us,
Stillness is their great pleasure,...

Quand il nous faut 
Beaux petits canards 
Vous faisés votre part 
Tranquilité 
Bien masqués 
Couleurs vibrantes 
Quand tu nous chantes 
Pleins de coeurs 
Vous êtes vainqueurs 
Beaux sourires 
Tu nous fais rires 
Nous allons bien parvenir 
À tous vous guérirs 
Toujours direct 
Avec respect 
Prêt...

Le jour à se rappeler
Mon Dieu avec guidance
Un moment de silence
Nous rendons notre respect
Vos souvenirs sans regret
Dieu nous relève
Terminer la grève
Jésus est venue sauver
Ses petits souliers non oubliés
Dans nos coeurs remplis d'amour
Dieu voilà à votre secours
Le sentiment de mon coeur
Vous apportera notre bonheur...

Beaux petits lapins
Sans chagrins
Bien nourries
Sans ennuies
Bien au chaud
Âmes si gros
Près à partagés
Tu n'a pas changé
Aussi courageuse
Ma belle serveuse
Savoir le bien être
Couvres vos têtes
L'amour de nos jours
Avait besoin de secours
Me prendre par la main
Vos douleurs vous faites fin...
