RummagedRummage
If you must.
My presence here
Is based on trust
So dressed am I
In Summer svelte
Yet you're to check
My trousers belt;
I'm scanned
As if each cell is rogue
So scrutinised
Despite en vogue
I understand
Away from home
You check my
Hydrocortisone;
The lotion for
My perfect tan
Or salve for lips
To kiss this man
Accept, do I
My gooey three
Could form a plan
For bomb plot spree
A victim

Reasons whyI haven't written anything today:
The fridge needed defrosting
Bottle of wine 'not going to drink itself'
Need to charge phone (minor)
TiVo 75% full, must spend time
watching/deleting programmes
Note to self: define TiVo for future generations
Plus, you'll obviously remember all
the amazing slash mundane ideas you had today and
write them up later on some loosely
defined (series of) date(s)
And, it's Friday
You'll...

A Belated Fourth of July

poolsideI love a long holiday and as a general rule
you’ll find me out by a turquoise pool
cause it’s hot outside and I’m nobody's fool.
Closing my eyes I lazily daydream
listening to my favorite music stream
umbrella shaded from harsh sunbeams.
I’ve put away polemic school assignments
for leisure and tastier desultory refinements
like buffalo wings, pizza and dirty martinis
and the...

Private CelebrationWhirlwind
Of summer embers
Stirs up
From the un-mowed grass
Swept by the brooms of July 4th fireworks
Booming distant in the furled city
Up high
To the tree tops
The fire flies rise
To the hunger of bats that swoop as spoons
Banging the pan of moon
More than enough for all
The stars
Lightning bugs
Moonbeams and bean wings
Consciousness everywhere
Our heads tilt
On their cracked bodies
Statues
Still standing
For a...

Vulcan of Romel 'll sleep at his feet
l 'll bathe in his water
l'll choke in his heat
forgetting it's daughter
a pleasure boat calls
a sight seeing tour
Aeolian relax,
they fear not the facts
there's a crater above black
but wont worry me
l'll ignore all read facts
and just swim in the sea
so a sip of the wine
and then l'll fine
myth God Vulcan, Rome

Summer Funny Limerick
The Fourth of July is almost here,
it will be hot but will it be clear?
Fireworks made me pee my pants,
all wet but I will still dance.
Pretty colors do not run in fear....

But the flames were too high
Twas trying to reach the sky

My Fantasy HolidayMy Fantasy Holiday
Another grey and dismal day so damp
To work I trudge along the streets of old
Through puddles ankle deep I grisly tramp
All muffled up, clothed to fight the cold
Each day I pass the poster on the wall
Inviting me to far off tropic isle
A place I’ve never been so can’t recall
But I imagine and within...

unmasking a sunshine holidayunmasking a sunshine holiday
feeling free and delightful in the gentle breeze
smiling at the first sight of the cool clear water
the whole of my soul is free and i cherish the vibe of it all
totally relaxed, eyes closed, massaged by rare rhythms
the cardinal is expresses her appreciation of the beautiful day in her elegant...

A Nightmare Before ChristmasA Nightmare Before Christmas
What an awesome movie.
Beyond creativity.
Released in 1993.
Animated movie 100 times.
Is it a Hallween movie?
Is it a Christmas movie?
You decide.
It could be both dark and light.
So many characters.
A really cool plot about him and her.
In between the lines.
Was alove story.

The Haunted SpiritIt whispers low on midnight’s breath,
A shadow wreathed in mist and death.
Not born of grace, but spectral might,
It haunts the veil 'tween dark and light.
It stirs the winds, it bends the flame,
A nameless force none dare to name.
Through hollow halls, its echoes creep,...

Ah the joys of sunrise
awakened from sleeping
in car on a carefree
surfing safari trip
up north, with just me and
my board transfixed in bliss...
