Where I can find a place to replenish my soul
Take me to the mountain near the sea
 where I can spend quiet time with thee

Description, Dash

...Sun dog, sign.
Belladonna, breaker point, fine wine.
Deign? Design.
Grimace, Guelf, and Ghibelline.

Young? Yes.
Grind gears, golden guess.
Torment?
Foment... Wilt, flower.

Master of Fate!...

As an easy pushover and soft touch lamenting my demise

...As an easy pushover and soft touch lamenting my demise
Vultures swooped overhead
and preyed on my vulnerabilities
forcing me to carrion camping
as fine young cannibals
sharpened their knives

the boy, padre and abbess

...The boy, the padre, and the abbess.

The padre hung in the bell fry the boy didn’t know

Plagued By Memories

...
         oh, memories 
         of a childhood friend 
I couldn't forget

Memento on the Moon

...The Moomagatta is very heavy.
And being the strongest astronaut around,
I knew, for Earth's sake, I had to be ready.
Not a month later on the powdery surface I touched down.
The Moomagatta and me...

Droning and drooling with flattering and fawning, turgently swell...

A Meander By Sea

...
Nothing is like water, when water's alone —
Memories go out to sea, swam there unglued;
The seashells on beach cease not spend away home.
When the sky's kiss on water beneath us skews,
The scar...

Of Regrets

...

They engender headache and pain.
Quite a cumbersome ball and chain.
Don't keep them; there's nothing to gain.
The stin...

Monkey Business

...marauding foxes  
mutilating fruit
minutemen mischief-makers
marching upon us

pick our pockets
laugh at our loss
   
“No mangoes for sale”

Birds cringed at his cumbersome shape
He carried a bag made of crepe

“Oh dear I sometimes dig too deep or maybe not diffidently.
