The Cinder of Ella of the Cedars

                      Wood Nymph, wraps white 
gossamer legs in hello, as branch shakes 
in obvious "ka_ching"!
'Oh wait till you see what she does next", 
tattles the tree, in an excited a...

Kwik-E-Mart

...Altiloquent in behavior
Quick to carom
Unabashedly pawky
A labyrinthine of misadventure

Like living in Greenland
Hardly felt warmth
Got the oil-
Wanted nothing more

Silenced your weapon

The Night Drinks Us In

...The city’s streaming lights are 
                                                 incandescent veins,
                                you and I a runaway fizz of champagne.

We did a lot of fun things together
Playing carom, table tennis and skating
You were the dull school boy

To see you struggle thr...

...I WISH I WEREN’T A FROG

JOHN M. ARRIBAS



I wish I were a frog sunning myself on a lily pad
No cares or worries to drive me mad or sad
I’ll  play it cool, wait for insects out on the fly

Golden Days

...Golden days





Reminisce those golden days left far behind,
little joys lived to most, recalls the mind,
Aiming sky high and free as birds,
Cherished life, simple were our words,

Frayed Plume

...she got on about three stops after I did 
I was sure she was conversant in ballet 
by the way she danced up the steps 
and delicately deposited her passage 
into the device next to the driver

Trillergy

...Faint away Ry Cooder 
as the candle flame danced 
reddish green and the wick crackled 

Cassiopeia together 
through the night screen 
crooned Diana Krall 
and a dying moon 

three white bir...

The Foyer of the Heart

...The Foyer Of The Heart


In the center there’s
a hollow

small, enclosed,
oval like a locket

called the foyer 
of the heart.

There the bullets 
carom while 

the widow,
room to room...

Conception

...Conception

There
In seconds words birth
A phrase laboring me to pen
Anticipation of a perfect offspring
Contraction squint the mind for me
That shudders a intent, until
It flops on the page,...

...random thoughts carom from shuttered sights
in geometric harmonies  of cacophony colors
reverberating drum rolls kaleidoscopically spinning
through theoretical manoeuvres of polished possibilities...
