Approximately 8 years ago

Began designing what was then

An 4 page black and white newsletter

It has since grown into this schmaltzy

With perfevid redolence
Perfuses the air
Alluring the ambience
With schmaltzy besotted love

Sunshine undulates across verdant plain
casting dark shadows ushering twilight zone
ringing athwart tree trunks
invigorating, joyously kickstarting, 
and plenti revitalizing
bountiful nature buzzfeeding 

vim, vinegar  and *****
caressing, massaging, and palpating with
soundlessness inducing bub bully giddy,
and sudsy spongy schmaltzy
harmonic livingsocial kerplunk
also intoxicating this perk o' late

My on call (Uncle) Muse Never Sleeps

in this context pronounced nice)

Well...hm...I really did not wanna

a schmaltzy little homily to our successful marriage of 32 & a bit years:

In Our time
We have fathomed
the intricacies
of Measurement
and Angle,
conquered the
Everest of
Plastering 
& painted whole worlds
Many colours, many times over.
We have
Mastered the
Logic of tiling,
Plumbed the ancient
Mysteries of water,
Sanded, chiselled, nailed 
& screwed to make...

Figuratively tack one hundred 
and eighty degrees away...
where joie de vivre underscores 
poetic theme, no matter every day
brings gut wrenching tearful tragedy, 
thee attention for heart warming 
(powdered milk biscuits 
of human kindness)

doth shyly beg to gussy
esprit de corps with elan 
evoking a reddit ting,...

I was lying on the bed,
         staring at the ceiling.
The lines, the corners,
         the torned peeling.


Thoughts galore,
   wondering how far i have flown. 
Life's gonna change soon,

Sassy sobriquets schooled sissy spindleshanks...

My dorm room was bright this morning. It was disorienting.
The sky outside was a cloudless, striking neon blue.
The air was so crisp and clean, I could hardly feel it going in and out.
It all sparked to create a diffused sense of well-being.

Gone, it seems, were...

I'm being wooed in a schmaltzy, sexy way,
an invite to play.

Love means allowing emotions to control 
heart, body, and soul. 

Despite all the deceit intrinsic to Man,
hope helps when it can.

Whispers that kindle the imagination;
speak of elation. 

I'm being wooed in a schmaltzy, sexy way;
clothes...

Epaulets of schmaltzy eyes set to be so loose
Given a glass of rosewater, its perfect booze!
This cattish damsel in the planetary alignment of swank
Regularly chichi, sometimes bltchy
Never mind, always kind, two-up for a Blanc.
A scene isn’t required in this oratorio of vigorous clap,
Attend our burlesque...

The alcea or hollyhock
Waltzers by with a schmaltzy walk
Jasper color facets her stock
Cashet and lock , cashet and lock

Balkers do not alcea breathe, 
Masher gives her a sweet reprieve 
Upside down petticoats believe
She’s wild and free, she’s wild and free...

I wanna trade in my stubby spindleshanks...,

(a poor excuse for legs),
and get me the latest
sophisticated prosthetics advancements,
whereat integration of cultured stem cells
into custom made appendages
allows, enables, and provides
unfortunate recipients of amputations
to experience sensations.

No more will yours truly

envy amputees fitted with smart limbs
equipped tricked...

the many points on paper shed
a life's addled grey matter drawn
the substance he beckons to have read
a fore life's solid matter flown

the conjured ideas contests bring
all the schmaltzy addled chatter
many light bulbs are a dancing
to tongues of core and matter

I put captured ideas to paper
stirring...
