Fantasy on a Rainbow

Sponsor : Constance Le France
Placed 3rd in Contest 


     on smooth hot rock I sat in REVERIE
after a HALLUCINATION drink of 
mushroom, poppies and truffle 
IMAGINATION soared like bald eagle 
on high, throwing twin twigs with sigh

up I flew landing on a rainbow in 
lucid DREAM ~
saw tinker bell fairies in pastel lace
with mauve daisy hats to face
sucking honeyed cream in wild glee

cherubs singing WHIMSY chorals 
skipped to amethyst abode awaiting
dragonflies lighted a willow way
as swans mated on water lily ponds 
of petals, elves smiling at bay

secretly inside a Crystal Palace 
of chanting High Priestesses pure
sat Lord of VISUALISATION and awe
with blue-green eyes and beard of
silver hay, not all could hither this way  

he fed me manna and mango ambrosia 
gifted a garland of lotus snow white
a sapphire pen dripping indigo ink
to serpentine scribe enchanting song 
on a rainbow in rubied blink !

sky in my pocket weaves 
                                     wings on acorn ankles

sky in my pocket sighs 
                                   sunlight, then rains crystal
tropical tears into our empty bucket
                                   to quench a thirsty 
                                           Love


My Love for You is

the spring that 
feeds the stream that
grows into a river that
wanders the land that
sways the valleys that
nurses the trees that 
hides the lake that
mirrors the sky that
veils the night that 
reveals the stars that
adores the moon that
brings the tide that 
washes the shore that 
awaits the dawn that
cradles the sun that
warms the wind that
chases the gust that 
rustles the leaves that
rouses the birds to
sing your name so 
the world may hear 
the songs of Spring.

SIMPLY YEATS

My verse under Yeats’ carved door
he merrily chuckled at white 
envelope, sketched butterfly 
said he preferred to receive 
verses this way rather 
than reading them across 
post-modern websites 


He invited me to tea
we simply savoured small
cheese squares, crumbly 
scones watching a squirrel 
chomp a cheerful chestnut 
lost and found
What word can describe 
fleeting images of poets
graduated, yet living on ?


Vacant ….a vacancy
that awaits a word 
wandering ethereal 
manifesting ____ 
a lover expecting his
Beloved with cherries
a shadow across 
poetic dreams

Old Man Howard

• Old man Howard was farming one day
• When he spotted a weed in his yard
• He decided that it mustn't stay
• So he plucked it out then and there
• Off he went to milk his goats
• But they weren't producing any 
• So Old man Howard sold one of his boats 
• And bought himself a-many
• To his greenhouse he went for a potential harvest 
• But some of his crops were inhabited 
• Old man Howard left to put them to the test
• Against the particles of his homemade insecticide 
• Feeling tired from today
• He decided to make some tea
• The stove went click and the radio turned on
• And in the cahir he stayed


Summer Rain

The sun rises up,
Then the clouds move in.
Heavy with drops,
Soon the rain would begin.
It’s wild at first,
With lightning flashes,
Then the thunder,
With booms and clashes.
It moves quickly by,
The high winds blow.
Then it calms,
As if to know
We need a break,
From the summer sun.
We want to play
And have some fun.
Under the trees
We make up games,
Freed from the heat
By the cool summer rains.

Bliss

In the two days,
We built a Temple of the Senses,
Our bodies, the gods we worshipped
Our soulful moans, the night psalm
As we climax with pleasure,
And became the infinite

HAIL THE CHAMPION OF ALL CHAMPIONS

From generation to generations, thy redeemer lives

From age to ages, He never fails

In all dealings, thy conquer

He always come through, breaking chains and shackles

The undisputed CHAMPION, without dispute

Who is like thee, Our Champion... MOST HIGH in fairyland!!!

Always fair and consistent, Above 

Elevator of, the Low at buttom

Finds the lost, makes a way

Beautiful and worthy in all ways, maker of heaven and earth 

Breeder of light and dark, maker of night and dawn

Giver of all, relentlessly

Dynamic leader, catalysts of growth, catapulting  the down cast

Sitted, above and below, rewarder of, the good and bad.

SENSE PLEASURE

SENSE PLEASURE 

Red honeyed apples
        autumn leaves dewed 
           ****** merge with sun streams 
             whilst children sleep dear dreams

Bobbing bubble baths
        yogurt on hot chilli pie laughs
          smell the sour dough
             nourishment oh oh oh !

Blue moon paints front stoep
       knobbly hand whispers stories
          of heritages and future glories
             skin ripples aptly rapt

Prancing clean laundry dance 
        mother’s milk in melting mouth
          puppy grovels dirt digging south
              sound frequencies simmer smoothly 

Von Gogh sunflowers float in
        mental notes skipping 
            Mozart phantom pianos airwaves
               come dine alive then to jive

Pleasure finding the lost gazed
         glance glimmer with God at no cost 
             Earth to Heaven find 
THE JOYOUS JOURNEYED CONNECTION !

Premium Member Adolescent Country Boy Fishing School-

~Truant loyal adolescent boy 
walks the path of loyal while carrying a can 
       of worms nestle upon the shore of the country pond
He places his fish hook in the water
country boy gone to a pond of fish school

...Then it was a longest day
And thereafter, shortest night
Things were going usual way
Metaphorical insight
Didn’t happen, though it could
I was busy placing bets
Heard some angel spoke to me
If I have a cigarette
“I’m so sorry to quit smoking”
I replied, but she said “no
You were right, and I was joking
Just because you look so low
You got keys, but you’ve no clue
Where’s the door, or gate they fit
Where’s that room with precious view
With rose bushes at your feet
What you’re doing in this world?”
“I just live from day to day
Trying to be true to words 
Which sometimes I have to say.”

Premium Member Amist the Country Hill Shepherd Me-

Long mist of cottonwood trees;
In the country I am-MY Shepherd JESUS;
Land ladden in brooks, small hills and trees;
And within me; 
I ALLOW HIM TO LEAD ME -in the country I am;
THEND TO ME;
Out in the fields of open plains; 
He whispers calls out my name in the country I am;
BELOVED, BELOVED, You are first my Lamb; 
BELOVED I AM YOUR SAVIOR JESUS SHEPHERD; 
AND WITHIN ME- In the country I am; 
I ALLOW HIM TO LEAD ME;
THEND TO ME;
AMIST THE COUNTRY HILL SHEPHERD ME in the country I am-

Christmas

Sweet honey of harmattan 
What a season you are 
To see thee at the eleventh hour 
At the end of the tunnel 
And flown come upon the bank 
Of spring morning water 
Alas! You came in a twinkle of an eye 
I have gone here and there 
And made myself motley to the view 
For your absent 
Do stay for my sake to my grief 
To cure what public manner 
Breed on my diary 
For me to receive a new brand 
For my nature to subdue on my paw 
Come and proclaim new memory 
I am yearning for your presence 
Like a woman for the monthly period 
Do stay even you are seasonal 
You are Wood who gather moss 
The star in the sky 
The sweet and perfect season 
The temperate all want 
Love, endurance, strength and skill 
To warm, comfort and please 
With the touch of an angelic feeling

Evermore

A glitter gel pen,
My captivated thoughts,
Communicates in a clear page of my notebook.

I got the bruise of blue,
And began to wonder
The paradox of living all summer
How life has become cruel and kind?
To go from growing up,
To breaking down.
The shiniest wheels are rusting now.

Like water falling in a river,
My sapphire tears,
Came rushing down my scarlet cheeks,
Got within me to shiver.

There were pages turned,
With the bridges burned,
And I had no idea
I've got a lot of lessons learned.

On this landmark an image stands...
  statue of a man.
Man of honor and talent,
  admiration of any man.
Born with great love for country
Died with one heart of chivalry.

Studied in different schools,
  aced all subjects in drools.
A man gifted with excellence.
Shared great works in pickets,
Cured many patients without wickets.

A man of great stature,
No man may be able to equalize.
A man of great sorrow,
Sacrificed himself for tomorrow.
Fellowmen freed to visualize.

So much more can be said
About a man of enviable skills
Young and old have all laid
Heroism of a small man...
Bigger, higher than hills.
