Vejo As Almas

Vejo a alma

De Silvanas, Jéssicas, Elis, ELI,
Elaines,Roses, Rosicleias, Thaises, Francines,
Marildas, Flávias, Miriams, 
outros nomes variados,
que vieram de todas as partes do Brasil e do Mundo. 

Vejo as Almas, 
criadas para fazer e acontecer,
explorar o novo e o inesperado
em nome do Sonho e da Causa.

Vejo a alma 
Colhem imagens
despregadas,
todas as outras almas
por elas sentem atraimento.


Almas que a tudo correm, 
Do que é real o entendimento.
Essa ação 
é amor, 
é a própria natura,
por sua forma que a elevar-se tende 
a tudo correm, 
e inspiram!


Vejo a alma 
Vejo as almas
das mulheres que vejo,
gerenciam atenção
e ficam atentas,
também ao foco, 
onde o elemento seu mais dura.

Seus nomes,
formam ação que não se aquieta,
conseguem a posse que pretende
Lutam, cuidam,
Vêem, pois, 
que da verdade excede a meta!

AH Almas!
Aquelas que acreditam
e aos outros assevera
sabem que são capazes,
de fazer o que quer que seja.

CONQUISTARAM O DIREITO, DE TER SEUS NOMES REGISTRADOS NA HISTÓRIA.

The Flower of Wales

St David our patron and wearer of daffies
Lynched by the English who named us all Taffies
With our fellow Celts, they feared we would stand
and repel Anglo-Saxons from all British land
But spring-time did come, along with a truce
The trumpets of yellow announcing the news
A change in the seasons, a break in the rain
The daffodils dance in the warm breeze again



*Happy St Davids day for March 1st
Dydd Gwyl Dewi I pawb yn Cymru ar Mawrth 1af*

Narcissus Daffodils

Narcissus (Daffodils)

Narcissus has twelve different divisions
All as beautiful as one envisions

From trumpet small-cupped to Jonquilla
Split Corona and the fragrant many cupped Tazetta

With trumpets of yellow, coronas of pink and orange or red
Even the pretty Triandus with its nodding head

Some have fragrance some have none
All displaying beauty trying not to be out done 

Narcissus the correct terminoligy for Daffodils
 For Francines' Daffodils or ***** Willows contest  Feb 2012


Francines Leaves

Francines Leaves
when leaves some leave, and often sail away,
do they wait for the tide like sailors do,
do they ever figure out just why or who,
does the wind these words inscribe.
The leaves have fallen like our men,
 no rhyme or reason, death of friend, 
sombre words the season... ....

Summer

Summer night, dogs bite,
par for the course old fellow,
river down, flooded town,
Yellow Belly were, biting are,
Jewfish sure are sorrowful,  huh.

Sandgoanna Blue

SandGoanna Blue

Blue sky they said, it was overhead,
not like the Los Angles pink.
Sangoanna walked by,
 with a black an blue eye.
I asked him what do you think?

I’ve been into it too, 
with cattle dog blue.
Hi think he gave me an hernia,
I fanged him a bit, 
dummy cared not a bit,
think’s,  I’m getting a little bit wormier.

He staggered away, in a wobbly way,
Old blue was just bound to snicker,
Went to the fowlhouse,
Just past the outhouse,
Sucked eggs, dodged Rooster,
a bit quicker.

Almost Francines con. got sidetracked.

Sky So Blue

Sky so blue
Ah the sky was so blue, 
we looked an we knew,
The rain was never about.
We never had rain,
For three years again,
Perhaps there’s another drought.

The ground cracks like a curse,
In the black soil it’s worse,
With no blades of the grass,
Trees chewed on alas,
Death, the result of no rain.

Eternity passes, dead grass an molasses,
We will have to send them a droving,
Down the long paddock route,
Any Tucker about?
Send her down Huey we’re praying.

Barefoot

Barefoot

Off to school and then go barefoot,
in the 50s running wild,
Elvis was singing blue suede shoes,
Used to listen all the time.

Bare foot out a playing football,
kicking, stinging poor old foot.
Bindi’s, Goatheads , sometimes stinging,
Ignore the pain an counter, boot.

Bare foot rolling in the black mud.
Parents couldn’t tell to call ,
were we black or whiter  kids. 
Mud covered as it did,
mud covered us all.


Francines' Barefoot

Sparrow

Sparrow

“You are just a sparrow Honey Chile “
“I’m not” she said to him
“You sort of sometimes drive me wild”
She said “it is no sin”
“So shut up Chook I’m gonna talk”
He clamps her beak so thin
She squeaks an something, squawks
And then  she does him in
