Sunrays trying in many ways
But fail to embrace the soil
A strange land
I haven’t ever seen or heard
No sign of any fellow men
Where am I? A conundrum!
Startled and woke up
Recalled the geo story “Unseen Glory of the Earth”
That I read a few days ago
Wouldn't it be nicer if the Earth regained its plant life?
Sheila was so delightfully cute her daddy had ideas for Halloween
He thought she would be an adorable pirate, super hero, or queen
She wanted to be a mummy which disappointed him a lot.
A mummy is not very cute, he said to the determined tot.
But Sheila had her way, because she is a forceful girl. quite strong.
Her daddy had to admit when he saw her, that he had been wrong.
For Sheila is so cutesy petootsie, wonderfully adorable and all.
Even as a mummy, she looked gorgeous, for she is a doll.
Spring does burst with blest new birth
as buds conquer harvest dearth
blooms now refresh hopeless woe
heart thanks God for grand life's worth.
Dream moon gazing,
at its flit and flow,
over urban slumber,
that nocturnal bliss,
haze of radiance,
blissful balm benign,
shivery glow aligned,
dark ink canvass,
skyline thirst for,
wink and blink,
star dust menu,
green leaf copse,
smothered hedge row,
black veiled footpath,
lack of lustre,
from the heavens,
yet passing orb,
behind frilled clouds,
in spartan bounty,
might shed blob,
of lean luminance.

Delightful Pain
Damn you stupid who is feeling delightful pain
From my anguish, cruel, you'll never ever gain
You deserve more than a jail
Hell's upon you stingray's tail
Frowning piranha, smiling hyena, in vain!

*Topsy-Turvy Limerick Ironic
my day is up to me
my attitude is my choice
every minute can be great or dull
I can watch tv all day if I like
I’m watching a series I cannot outguess
this rarely happens
I read a synopsis after the second episode
it is based on a comic book series
Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency
I am hooked at this second
When I am bored, I switch it up
retirement is delightful, my day is up to me
The moon was full so big and bright
You should have seen it late last night
A million stars winked out there too!
And then, it made me think of you
It really was an awesome sight
The moon was full so big and bright
And then, it left me feeling blue
My darling wife, our love is true
Yet, something that I thought to do
Last night I really thought it through
The moon was full so big and bright
A perfect time for candlelight
Alone together just us two
The moon and stars were there on cue
Then we made love, the time was right
The moon was full so big and bright
delicate flowers
grow wild and renegade
delighting meadow
wild strawberries
theyre gorgeous yet not tasty
tiny hard and pink
giant queen anne’s lace
gracing us with her presence
a land worth buying
within mystical realms she originated
orange organdy enveloped her prettiness
Virgo’s moon kept watch, adoring her
energy of the cosmos made up her aura
never before had we seen such a Goddess
inspired by coral frothiness, she planned her day
newts, faeries and brownies announced her arrival
we mushroom people waited, servants, at her whim
ignorant gnomes and dwarfs went about their business
she brought warmth and fire to our meadow
tickled, we delighted ones, did a happy dance
enthusiasm could be felt miles away
royalty has a way of exciting the fey
igniting us, she gave us new inspirational ideas
and then she was gone, our lovely faerie queen

Monocrostic (Birthday of Gina Devida)
Peace delights heart
Radiating hope of God’s grace
Peace delights heart
As soul finds pardon from guilt’s dart
Secured around divine embrace
Anchored upon faith, sans doubt’s trace
Peace delights heart.
Unexpected cleverness bursts out of a poem
Delighting me, inspiring me
It is rare that I laugh aloud as I read
Today I did
So, I read the poem a second time
Also rare for me.
Child on Santa's lap
Decorations high
Band playing carols
Girls wrap many gifts
Mall is so crowded
Christmas Spirit
People joyous
Excitement wow,
My legs are tired
Silent Night
A child's laugh
Loud Singing
Turkey
Muffins
Cake
