Fall fancies
faint essence exudes
gentle generosity
I’m swept by your scent
carnival raiment
gorgeously garbed in motley
I’m lost in your charms
following each leaf
landing lightly down below
I’m falling for you

Shall I Compare You To An Unknown Angel
Fancies be, beauty is real
Its seductive power to feel
And unfading hearts of glee
Protrude amazing love to see.
Your comeliness happy life speaks
And in darkness sparks light.
Song sung in the heavens
In which other angels delight.
Your beauty other sights controls
The goddess of all beauties.
Your frame fluid baths the earth
Your eyes serve like Venus' stars
Your smooth hair's

Farcical Fancies
Farcical fancies,
Woodland rhymes,
These are not just
For bedtimes!
Farcical fancies,
Wait and see;
You’ll repeat them
Back to me!

Woodpecker, really,
Won’t you hush!
By now, aren’t your
Brains all mush?
Woodpecker, silly,
Watch your head!
If I did that,
I’d be dead!

Polliwog, Bullfrog,
Here’s a joke
It’s so bad,
You’ll want to croak!
Polliwog, Bullfrog
Deep, deep voice:
Burping flies;
He’s got no choice!

Why you looking
Down at me?

Faerie Fancies
Nut-brown owl nestled in a crooked tree
above the mermaid and jellyfish sea.
Scaly horse & teacup-octopus lads
near the sea-soaked teen; tail thrashes with glee
as her amethyst hair bobs and flows.
Nut-brown owl nestled in a crooked tree;
leafless branches with fantasia-tendrils.
Speckled

Fancies
Fancies
Hats worn sidesaddle sporting feathers, cornflowers
Whimsy rides in sequins, ribbons and plumes
Small or broad brimmed, laces form floating towers
Swooping pillboxes off to the races clad in blooms
Dedicated to the fanciful hats called Fancies worn at the Kentucky Derby and Royal Ascot Races.

My Husband Fancies Poindexter Now
What is that thing? My husband asked in a persnickety way and not with glee.
I pretended I had no idea he was pointing to my new pal, Poindexter Cat.
Is it a dog? He queried. “It looks like a weird Chihuahua if you ask me.
The best idea I ever had came to me instantly, as

Farmer Fred Fancies
Farmer Fred fancies, red wine and daisies.
Favorite foods for grazing, steak, potatoes, and gravy.
Finds Spring’s tulips tantalizing, Autumn’s apples amazing.
Looks with wonderment at woods of walnut, oak, and cherry.
Fred finds glory in his morning cup of coffee.
He takes great glee, in his afternoon cup of tea.
Farmer Fred fancies most his faith and his family.
He’s mad

Eclipse Facts and Fancies
When the Moon moves between the Earth and Sun
then comes a rare happening that can stun,
above all a syzygy alliance,
the term from the Greek in astro-science.
Once solar eclipses in history
were viewed as a frightening mystery.
Cultural superstitions abounded
as rumors spread far and wide unfounded.
Many imagined the light was devoured
by dragons or beasts super empowered.
Herodotus wrote of

The Fancies of a Midsummer Waterfront
—The Sense of Sight With No Ending Point—
it was early in the morning a sailboat anchored in the harbor
awakened from the deep sweet dream yawns and stretches
its arms to drive away black and thickened curtains over head
far away across the ocean the mountains lying at the edge of
the water kisses and mingles

A Fugue of Passing Fancies
an orchestrated night glitters
to the wand wave of the maestro unborn
sweetness licks on liquorice sticks
fingered on silver keys
the moon melts like a honey drop
as sopranos sing
in harmony the coyote calls
base notes cajoled by passing horns
meld as cicada rub the reeds
legging each sharped phrase
with intonations of delight

Fireside Fancies
I'm sitting alone by the flame,
with lonely heart beating your name.
and thinking, my darling, of you.
I tried to enjoy the dance,
in my new gown, ordered from France.
It enhances my eyes of blue.
But no other arms felt like yours,
and all of my partners were bores.
Only your loving arms will do.

Whims and Fancies
When one side is to bless;
The other will have to curse;
While one part is to love;
The other will opt to hate;
When one will have to feed;
The other has to plead;
Two different natures
Beat within; indulge and
She chooses both;
According to her
Whims and fancies
Life moves like that….

Fond Fancies
I woke up this morning
with the skirmishes of dry land and earth
A glance through my window
and I saw the clouds uniting their crack.
The morning seemed like the late evening
with splashes of lights cutting across the sky
And all of a sudden it poured upon heavily
with numb sound of thirst and relief.
Masses running for shades
and the Juvenalilty

He Fancies
I was scolded for littering an orange peel.
I and this couch and an iguana melt.
I am longing for things to be more than real.
She blushes like a child in an autumn fog.
She bleats to scare winter from the ridge of her nostrils.
She grows like a berrypatch in moonlight, after the thaw.
He is my friend’s iguana
