the budding pear
wearing white clusters of pearls . . .
spring's fashionista
Which disorder should I model for my class today
Anorexia-bulimia is simply too passe
Obsessive compulsive – so 20th century
Agoraphobia is a distinct possibility
‘Cos acrophobia’s too HIGH-ly infectious for me
Then again, what about good old paranoid schizophrenia
It complements my arthritis and osteopenia. -- But
my budding fellow psychoanalysts, I’ve selected Jewish-mother-anxiety
~ since you all will misdiagnose it as made-for-TV comedy*

March winds are blowing
remnants of winter away
trees will wear new clothes
buds begin to leaf
begging for bucolic growth ~
flora in full dress
(May Full Moon – Cree)
Long days order strong drinks
budding ideas ~ two straws, methinks
A sweet fragrance spreads
as the sun sends its first rays
to the budding heart.
Open your eyes when you kiss
else you may just miss
your target, those ruby lips
and go thud on her behemoth hips
When you start your 'heavy petting'
make sure you know what you're getting
into, since what may appear as lovely mounds
are oft revealed as padded pounds
Don't forget now, nice and slow
if you hurry, you'll be asked to go
and never get invited back again
~ unless you'd just 'like to be friends'
Budding
plants are sure signs
That Springtime has arrived
Birds are nesting, bees are buzzing
Life, reborn is abounding upon Earth
Hope emerges like butterflies
in the greening of Spring
Leaves begin their

BLOOM WITH LOVE
A budding flower opens up
To sunshine and the rain
As it blooms in all its beauty
It sings a sweet refrain
When opening up it praises God
By wondrous bright display
To the child passing by
It gives a happy day
If we are like the blooming flower
Growing more in love
We certainly will make angels sing
As they view us from above

Desires unleashed,
Desires unchained,
They’re not his doing,
They're not his making.
Out of the closet, they emerge,
Like a deluge, they overwhelm,
They cloud the thoughts,
They stealthy permeate.
Dilemma spells the day,
Who pulls the string?
Who is at the helm of affairs?
Who stands at the gate?
There’s a tempest and a tussle,
There’s turbulence and pushback,
There’s midnight and a peering light,
There’s an inrush and a bulwark.
October 6, 2022.
a child collapsed cold in the garden
talisman waved with the wind
violently close to a pardoning-
hardening, molding the kin to her seam inter-winged
horribly marbling volatile harmony
azure veins fold under skin- jittering
gently golden it stings
effigy holding the strings
partially fondling close within cartilage-
pieces now bloom into things-
before following-
thin choreology
thew ending progeny
posed they erode intermittently-
honestly,
iridine progeny,
how are you possibly
watching atrocity knead etymology
skin abound covering, sleeving impossibly
sinew renewed where it feeds on bare faucet leaks
farther it blossoms then seeps something bodily
oddity, pardon me
lovably blue and it bleeds out so audibly
fissure pains bottling
lowly imposingly-
nearing a prophecy
budding up slowly to figurehead modesty
petals all grown out- they shelter so somberly
flay splayed out flower-wise neatly and modestly
peaking autonomy
inky tear conjuring
pink from the fostering
nauseously
cautiously failing to breathe
Buddleia bush
Hovering habitué
Beautiful capture.

butterfly flies light
white random flowers stalks nectar
in the buds
at the perfect sky
pinkish red yellow flowers
