Bon Poems

Premium MemberBooks are Bon Fires

stacks and stacks of books
filling up Aunt Edith’s home library
the nephews and nieces laugh at them
They are old-fashioned, antiquated, useless

Some of these missives were read over and over
Cherished like an old friend with each reading
Others never made it past page two
Boring and dull, deemed useless, put back on the shelf

Upon Aunt Edith’s death these books

“taste” …

she whispered
making sure the “s” lingered on her
tongue like syrup …
I needed no instruction,
but her plea was proper music, nonetheless
prelude to pleasurable murmurings from
both our gullets,
though I put the vibrations of my low,
rumbling moan to good use
(as any obsequious scoundrel should)
her squeaky sigh wrapping
my core like a vine,
saturating my extremities …
another whisper - “tell

       In those streets of buildings
       by Frank Lloyd and Corbusier
      I dreamed of my dry landscape...
      In those temples of sumptuous
    mystery, I dreamed of the

The Jon Bon Jovi Rest Area

On the Garden State Parkway
In New Jersey state,
There are places to stop
To put food on your plate

Or put gas in your tank
Or prevent further grief
With a stop to the restrooms
To get some relief.

Certain rest stops are named
After locals of fame,
Since their monikers give them
A touch of acclaim.

One such area called
“Jon Bon Jovi” salutes
The adored well-known

The story goes that men have only one thing on their mind
But down throughout the ages there are men far more refined 
Sometimes man is called upon to do the righteous thing
And carry out the wishes of his one almighty King

BON VOYAGE

Of the JOURNAL I hold in hand, 
pages flutter with the breeze... 
for I'm lost in its words, I'm lost to the distant seas.
O voyager who scribed the tale, 
whom did you meet and what did you see? 
What whimsical for a land must it be... 
for me to get lost in its scenery? 
Excavations

Premium MemberStand under the bon-bon colored umbrella and watch the lizard rise from the ashes

A girl who's incredibly shy,
But if she opens up, she's like a bon-bon,
So colorful and exciting,
Her friends help her fly,

Another young lass,
Who will let you stand under her umbrella,
When your feeling down or lost,
But watch out for her sass,

Again another lady, yes,
Who needs encouraging and support,
Her friends stand behind her and say;
You will never be

The Bon Vivants

The Bon Vivants
held an important meeting at the restaurant.
Happy faced Lauren,
her BF Laurence, and her
BFF Laurance Olivier queried:
“What is it, what is the thing
we all want?”
Leaning back, Lauren
-smoking hot and smoking
-lip sticked lips caressing her Gitane
-puffed, puffed, puffed
smoke signals into the air, and sighed.
“We want to be happy and satisfied,
and snappy, since the sadness died.
We

Premium MemberBon Appetite

Bugs to flour
plants to wheat
you eat your bugs
I will eat wheat flour
you watch the crickets
I will watch wind blow sheaves
You spend millions on a bug factory
but cannot spend it on health care satisfactory
You can have your crickets while I enjoy my big steak treat
Bon appetite hope you don't heave with vomit at  your feet.

first born of deux darling offspring
established herself as a high achiever

maintained abiding diligence

Je Sors Le Bon Dieu De L'Enfer

Mes bras grand ouvert
Ce sont des cœurs bien aimé
Qui a bien semé
Accueilli l'amour du Seigneur
J'ai écouté parmi le font de mon cœur
C'est le temps de rire
Réjouir
Mon sourire parfait
Qui vous apporte la paix
Un cadeau unique
Bouge la brique
La force en nous
Des Anges et tout
Aucun homme et non-hommes
Peux vous toucher
Vous êtes tous protéger
S’il demande
C'est temps que ça change
L'armé du bon
