A Rose For Rita
Here’s to the travellers,
   the passengers, the tourists
who trek this alien landscape
   in search of experience.

Here’s to the resilient,
   the adaptable, the survivors
who chose uneven ground
   and made a path for others.

Here’s to the dreamers,

Escaping Rita
Chased mercilessly 
over well- worn tar 
palpable loss pushes 
a sable brush 
dunked in dread
a furious deluge
of fear 
 oozes out
blackens every inch
 of familiar landscape
what if’s 
eat through 
 the still static blue horizon
making a meal 
of unborn dreams 
slaked only by
hastily grabbed 
history...

Limerick croises : Once our ‘Rita jumped into Sea Anne-Anne – 14

Once our ‘Rita jumped into Sea Anne-Anne
Sirens howled « panic stations » refrain
One Valhalla Rani
Offered her much money
For a shot sans mantilla – in vain

Our ‘Rita – you bet – a stunning beauty
Not given...

Saint Rita
Tonight the sky sagged
as your arms reached for empty space.
My bedroom whispered like wheat
to my sleepless eyes.
My icons pulled me into embraces --
St. Rita, her eyes rolling, her arms slit up,
braided my hair as I wept.
"Oh the things I have seen," she said.
She was dressed...

Rita
There was a young woman named Rit-a
who married herself a big cheat-a
When all's said and done
she found out she's one
does not need a man to complete -ha

Peter and Rita
Peter met Rita
He was so pleased to meet her
They went on a date, so Peter could treat her
On the date, Peter challenged Rita to a game of cards 
(He thought he could beat her)
In the game, Rita was beating Peter
Peter called Rita a cheater
He said...

Ode To Rita and Maddie
Wade through the lake’s water so shallow,
A woman & a man hands entwined like a gallow.
Wade did she,
Wade did he.

Above their necks the furious waters rose,
Trod they together steps softly with no morose,
Spellbound they moved without a care,
Deeper and deeper where no one would dare.

Trod...

My Rita
Rita, the feeling is so real
For you, of all the love and 
passion
My Rita, how do I make you 
feel?
Loved, or out of fashion?

Rita, I’ll be the one for you
Forever by your side
My Rita, whatever it takes, I’ll 
do
Our hearts, we’ll never hide

Rita, you came...

Aunt Rita



My darling aunt words can not express
how much I loved you, the sun is gone
the moon no longer lits my world.
All life has paled without you in it.

I remember a fiesty lady full of life
who poo poo'd things beyond her ken.
Was first to stand...

Tribute To Rita Lee
love is a book
sex is sport
sex is choice
Love is luck
Love is notion, theorem
love is melodrama
sex is cinema
Sex is imagination, fantasy
love is prose
sex is poetry
Love turn us
 pathetic
Sex makes us 
 as if LIVING in a jungle
 of  epileptics...
 Love is christian
sex is pagan.
Love is...

English Haikus Flowers and Nature By Rita Solis Radius
rose and yellow
pretty little flowers on
the lovely tree

***

special colours for
some lace peonies
flowers dance of love

***

the roses simply
are flowers inspiring
romance and love

***

a bouquet of beautiful
roses appealed to
the idea of a new season

***

a sublime woman
dreaming among some
amazing red flowers

***

an oustanding scenery
with purple sunset
and rose lake waters
