French Mistreat

Silent black and white
She goes
In reluctant
French stain on you
Goodnight 
Sleeps 
On mine
French debut 
Devious 

Irish Poetry

Potted Sins Under Tweed

In potted hills Finnish
Cauldrons run quips losing custard!
Vanquished serpents necking
Lounging cretons lavish
Tasking tisks
Mirroled bounce
Hinde bounding exiles
Worrisome kneels condensing bonnet?

Will and either knawlings
Coffered
Loave of Samson
Reason less below her faults


French horror?
Recalcitrant!


Taking Stock

Been to the London Stock Exchange
opened in 1571 by Elizabeth the Queen
and what's more saw the New York Big Board
the world's largest stock market ever seen
but when I took a trip to Paris
had no clue as to what to do
altho' I was educated in French
(parlez-vous?)
I believe brokers did so to discommode
as when yelling buying or selling 
they communicated in Bourse code

Historical Paint in Town

Exploration!
Confound?
In your exit!
Out myself?
"While Lancaster assumes the role"
News and filming
My first conviction times, bold.
Losing renewal values
Abundantcy people on a crime
I'm sure of that much
When I'm in the business transaction, okay and your going?
Off the call.
It ends in you called yourself back, I'm fine.

Freedom from film in French
Just getting to france takes hello's!

Ahoy!

Bows And Arrows

If Harold had spied with his little eye
the arrow flying his way
at the Battle of Hastings in 1066
the English may have won the day
but the French bastard William the Norman
prevailed and won the upper hand
to conquer the last Anglo-Saxon king
of this green and pleasant land
when King Henry V led his army of archers from Wales
at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415
in revenge the English to the French did bid 'Adieu'
which began the tales
longbowmen were first to finger the V-sign 'pluck yew'
but it's merely a myth it's not true

Forty 3rd Time?

For the forty 3rd attempt
Of incline 
A forty 3rd question unanswered 
Los Angeles requires an accomplishment 
As yet the roofs of wealth choir no challenge 
Stilled in self wonder the share constants
Water and health in abundance, again
This execution remembers every faculty
Partners and sermons
Cost and boss 
The build of document to spend
Little shadows of Washington fend

The framers of a Los Angeles hard at work
During war time 
Without end
Preparing the give
Ready for another attack
That steal refuses its sound
Prefer of the city and cities charity 
Suggest of intonation
None strate to the cause

America in Los Angeles only lensing past tense
Encampments of abandon
In a day of labor, no notes
No reservation 
No surplus

The Moulin Rouge at Night

At night, the Moulin Rouge bursts into life
with orchestrated music and bright lights,
where singers and cancan dancers excite
audiences who applaud them with delight,
and is a splendid place to patronize
for entertainment when in Paris, France,
where, by happenstance, people may unite
seeking merriment or discrete romance.

Premium Member Poetry Soupris

Poetry soupris
Soupris being French for sighs
And we all breathe them
At different times in our lives

We breathe them in relief
And maybe in our sleep
Exhaled after we've railed
Against the nightly thief

Poetry soupris
Potato soupris served cold
Alphabet soupris
Spelled out in the bowl

Sighs of relief
Sighs that matter
Sighs of release
In thoughts that scatter

(Carole Landis
"The sigh heard round the world"
Only Twenty-nine 
When we lost "your baby" girl)

Sorrowed soupris
During suffering endured
Godly suffering
Soupris when your cured

Soupris relenting
Served during your sentence
The sighs, the soupris
As we seethe through repentance

Now that the war is over
And you have traveled home
Awaiting and waiting
To breathe out this soupris poem

Let the soupris fly away 
And all things al dente (to the tooth)
If this were the Seventies
I’d hope your needle finds its groove

Yeasty

Yeasty with a cornmealed bottom
The sun-dried tomato's and sundried
Red bell peppers called me 
The parmesaned and garlic crust
topped with olives, anchovies, and
Onions
the queint essential of elegance 
refined by the knead of belonging
Bacon wrapped artichokes 
With a hint of lemon
Mozzarella browned to create a
delicate longing of satisfaction. 
Basil, oregano, and olive oil
 Enough to tease. Just enough 
 to taunt. Pleasing and exciting
 the palettes and taste buds!

Questioning

Oh Seigneur,
Je n’entends plus,
Je suis un pêcheur,
Avec mes pensées absolues.

Où êtes-vous,
Ne me laissez pas toute seule,
Êtes-vous dégout,
Avec mon engueule.

Prends pitié,
Même si je suis damné,
Même si vous ne pouvez pas le justifier,
Avec votre ton suranné.

Premium Member French Cottage

I'll always hold this dream with you
A chalet by a lake, us two
A long time spent exploring France
From minute one it's all romance
Will it happen? I don't know
But if it does then off we'll go
I'm saving up to pay the way
So I'll be ready for that day

Africa Seems Free

Looking through my window
Children playing around with slops
Dogs cats cows... singing in their own right
Trees mingling with the wind songs of praise
Some off to the bush for food,
Who the LION is none of their business
Africa Seems free.

On the streets shouting carrying screaming
Jesus Muhammad...
Working for heaven eden
Back home they cant spare a bean for their Neighbor!
but they speak in tongues....
Africa Seems free.

In class speaking French English Chinese....
speaking in your own right is a crime,
Poles day Pastor Sheik Bishop "vote your own"
Women in different skins long hair
Men in ear rings...
Africa Seems free.

Africa Seems free
while speaking French English Chinese...
while deep in religion of the Occidental and Oriental
while you eating screaming shouting... voting your own!
Are we free?
Are you free?
Are they free?

1393

1393

Yvain, the son of the Earl of Foix, did painfully expire
At a Royal Masquerade Ball as his costume caught fire
And a most tragic yet quite strange event, did transpire
As many others all around, tried to fan the flames away
Aimery Poitiers, a French nobleman also died that way
As did two more in 1393 at the King’s Bal des Ardents
