Sestina To Spain...Iberia, you took my breath away

The Princess...My mind traveled in Casablanca
to witness a tale of love.
Heart that yearns, desiderata,

Give me one more chance for loving.

My Celestial Sled...I was looking at the starry sky
When past a comet sped.
Oh, how I wished I could

Bye Bye Birdie...It was late in the perpetual summer, and I had been dozing,
On a blue and balmy afternoon, as I lulled on my porch swing.
When from my pleasurable dreams, I was eventually aroused,

Could use a slight expansion,
May I suggest, instead, that you
Just build yourself a mansion.
Today I've toured a couple,
Both in Hudson River towns.
With prop......

The Proverbial Small Town...After winning a sweepstakes, I determined to go on a lengthy trip;
And I wanted to tour the mainland, after I had disembarked the ship.
The countryside was quite beautiful, and had myriad charmin......

As pink-orange, diamond sunset rejoins us, reminiscing sunrise impressions.

Black Cat...I've never ever in my life liked any cats,

Smiles Throughout the Weeks...Ben and Cora Green had seven children, like calendar pages turning;
Each one born on a different weekday, like mango sun, forever burning.

The Fabulous Me and the Resentments...I've toured the world and lived life hard,
Sordid tales I can not hide.
I've logged some miles,they're on my face

Tried hard ......
