She Dances Soulfully

She dances she glances
Beyond her shoulder 
She peers
Looking back 
Her beautiful smile
She poses in the mirror 
[ 1st verse by Rick Parise ]


Soul steps out aside
Extoling her charm
As eyes
Stare abrupt
Smoky dancing queen
Disappears with a gentle touch

Premium Member Glaciers' Grandeur Amidst the Poetry Business

My poem was about innocent hearts
    not purloined, perfumed farts
  'Twas about forever lingering kisses
     not everlasting, beer-induced pisses

  Verses extoling glaciers' sheer grandeur
    no excretions of gooses or ganders
  Lines conjuring up treasured memories
    nothing about S&M or pederasty

  'Course, publishers rejected it out of hand
    ~ nothing to stimulate readers' trash glands

To Mum2

What a way to verse the lyrics
Well, they’re no less than relics
My joy knows no bounds really
If you compose like this truly
Being a nature lover so great
How you rock in a way straight
Want to be in thy good books
Extoling thy all luscious looks
Want to see you occupy chair
As an apt Indian Administrator
I urge you to accomplish it fast
Thus, deserve a future steadfast..!
When we meet it’ll be a moment 
Of high voltage reunion of intent..!!
