The Compendium

By Paris Thulare

This time I wear no dark color
This time I wear no scar 
My words cleansed me 
My lines made me 

From bieng a Black child 
I transformed and became  The Voice 
Egoisim and Pride tasted my margins 
From the Harbour with Valour I began singing Night Hyms 

Unexpectedly Feelings bled
I started chasing

CHRISTIAN QUINTILE
Habits
Ingrained die hard,
We need a helping hand
To disrobe,transmute our inner
Nature

Impart.

And of the loving kind-

Transform

Changed in a moment into
New robes.

Compendium of Nostalgia

A BACKWARD GLANCE
Alongside a Chiltern chalkstream
I lay me down to dream,
of country paths,stiles and steep slopes,
those days,long ago,filled with hope;
I dreamed of days of summer sun
when my life had just begun,
climbing trees,cricket on the green,
the first time I made the school team;
Football with coats and tennis ball,
bonfire night fireworks in the Fall,
carol singing through silent

A Compendium of Seasons In Verse

Spring always brings forth a smile
     Just ask a butterfly

Summer lightens every heart
     Just hear the skylarks cry

Autumn colours tint our view
     As daylight waves goodbye

Winter ,sleeping,bides its time
     When all nature seems to die.
FOUR SEASONS

brings a smile-

Compendium of Humour With Wit

mene tekel peres - calligraphic prescience.

global village voice - a dialect of babel

the poetry slam - pen viva voce
inherent bloodline - curdle into nepotism

Atlanta's Oliver Hardy
so pretentious and somewhat lardy,
had a sidekick,bungling,but thin
both silently,still bring a grin
The talented Christina Rossetti
wrote carols and much poetry.
Married love elluded her,I'm afraid,
the poor lass dying as a spinster maid

The

while-

real
flowers live-
that spring from our
soul

in posies of
love-
such

SPRING
Purple vetch and ribwort plantain
Jostle lush clover in English rain

Dogrose dotted on a briared sprawl
prickly as it meandrs tall

Speaking volumes of words,unheard
Spring,flowers,in which all senses merge
FLOWERS OF THE FIELD
Daisy,buttercup,yellow cowslip
together mix in fellowship
MUTED
Silent,
nature's flowers
with which all senses merge-
become a dialogue with

Compendium of Love Poetry

TOMORROW IS ALWAYS YESTERDAY
The day my love was rejected
My soul itself,was so dejected
All the nights drift into the surreal
My life's..a nightmare..so unreal
Pain touches my inner core
The day she said no more..no more
Concentration just flies away
Tomorrow is always yesterday....
Questions,questions nag my mind
Answers..missing I cannot find
The perfect circle ,broke in two
This curtain obliterates my view
Her eyes said

Compendium of Haiku

On the wind,a bell
Muffled from across the square
Raindrops fill the air

on the lawn
as summer draws to its close
lily petals timeworn

kissing-gate swinging-
eternally hitched to you
my heartfelt love

shadows in the sky-
fluttering across my eye
a brown butterfly

the country stile
hedged the wild flower meadow
where I sit awhile

he dusted the album-
a memory of love
trickled down his cheek

out of the blue

Compendium of Tanka

on the wind
a bell tolls
memories surface
words unerased-
the image fades

with a tremor of light-
daybreak tinges
the nigrescent sky grey-
the horizon appears
distinct in my mind's eye

without-
the waning sun
warms my face
shalom cloaks
the wells within

hanging from the trees
winter fog welcomes the dawn
and obscures the light--
cobwebs shimmer
necklaced to the hedge

huddled together
from the heeting rain
the unbrellas moc the hearse-
then in twos
slowly separate

In the base motor pool
See an off-limits card school-
A scheming Bilko takes the pot
Hoodwinking top brass was his game,
Fast talking his claim to fame.

VIGNETTE-ALL OF A ZITHER

Across Vienna's old town
In a sewer underground,
They tracked down..Harry LIme,

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT-a quintile(LINKED cinquains)
We had
met and conversed,
a rapport on first sight-
a chance meeting to a life's time
delight
that
Summer
evening silken,
long..an encounter of
initiations together
explored
as
Desire
welled within-
words became a promise
so sublime,to love now and for
all time.
MY FONDEST MEMORY
My love
Beguiled me,with
Soft sensuous lips,sleek
Long thighs
