Quote: "On a day when the wind is perfect, the sail just needs to open, and the world is full of beauty". By Rumi
*********
Listen—not with ears, but with aching skin,
where whispers meander extreme within.
The zephyr is not a cursory breeze,
But divination along with the trees.
It jiggled enigmatically from the stone
and carved its ideology into this bone.
It speaks in whispers and traumatized song,
of where we're accurate, and what went wrong.
Jaw-dropping stories in stillness and hum,
of battles bewildered and those to come.
It hurdles through periods, grief, and grace,
leaving outward fingerprints on the face.
It wears no enthrone, yet huddles the kings;
It severs the tresses on buried things.
So listen in not for roaring decree—
But toward the breath underneath the plea.
The wind will not delay, solicit, or steam,
It is bombastic and allows you to stream.
Zephyr adorns twigs and allows grass to gleam.

Archie Arbuckle yearned to sample
Betty's breasts that were more than ample
He flinched when he saw 'em
Then pinched 'em and pawed 'em
Oh my! What a lovely example
She giggled, cuz it tickled his lust
As he wiggled and jiggled her bust
His affection won't lie
It stood up and said "Hi"
I'll take one for the team, if I must

She wiggled and jiggled and giggled in bed
It fiddled and faddled and rattled her head
But she wiggled so much that she fell to the floor
And wiggled and jiggled and giggled some more
He muddled befuddled and scuttled around
Till he bumbled and stumbled and fell to the ground
Still he muddled befuddled just like before
And scuttled befuddled through his front door

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Jovial Dr Jekyll played for juvenile Justice
a just jaspered journey
jokingly jumped a joyride
to juicy jukebox jabbering
in jackal jackboots
from nearby jungle
Dr Jekyll clasped a jackknife eating
jambalaya to justify a
juggled juxtapositional
jurisdiction jamming
as jugular vein jingled jewels
joyfully jauntily jaywalking
to a jay named Jim Jolly !
Onward he jumped to a
Jungian junction
Jupiter jocund watching his
journeying joints
journalese seemed a jibe jig
but neither Jewess, Jesuit
or jeweller jiggled this job
So he jerked his jess
like a jape for Japan
Jejuning onto January for the
next jangle of jasmine
No jellyfish was Dr Jekyll in Jordanian jerkin
though sometimes Mr Hyde
with jeroboam swirling alongside !

In a church where hymns soar high and free,
A mouse embarked on a daring spree,
Up the stockinged leg, it did dare,
Past the congregation's wide-eyed stare.
The preacher's wife felt a tickle, then a squirm,
Her face turned red, as it rounded a turn,
She jiggled and wiggled trying not to shout,
As the mouse explored, in and out, and about.
"Dear Lord," she prayed, "keep my composure tight,"
While the mouse ascended in silent flight,
A sermon on chastity, unintended yet wise,
Unfolds with a mouse, in disguise.
The congregation gasped, chuckled, then roared,
As the mouse's adventure became church folklore,
A tale of a climb, so bold and so high,
A mouse and a lady, under God's watchful eye.

A lobster trap must have caught something big
It plummeted into the depths of the Aurora Sea
Captain Fishman danced a glorious jig
Thinking he’ll caught a treasure for free
When they were pulling it up the rope almost broke
This must be a sea creature or monster maybe crewmate
Or a mermaid or merman said first mate McBloke
Mermaid wiggled and jiggled all the way out of that sea

There was a young boy of three
who sat upon Santa's knee
when Santa jiggled
he cried and wiggled
and soaked Santa's suit with pee.

Her jittery tattoo jiggled as the jagged queen walked to the kitchen.
To what degree are things amiss? She asked the eccentric cook.
The barley beer is bitter, the chef replied. He was always ’n.
What is that kooky bug zapper doing in here? Queen gave him a look.
Sapphire put it in he said, affixing blame on his assistant cook.
Upon her return, Sapphire challenged his assertion and he turned yellow.
She shared her hot apple turnovers and was promoted to head cook.
Waffles are my specialty she said as they led out the disgruntled fellow.

At times I feel like the worst...
Like a clarity blunt under frost...
No I m not betrayed and flattered...
Still I do feel so shattered...
Before the beginning it often ends...
A pinch of ecstasy a bit of misery it blends...
Random get the thoughts and actions are in awful hurry...
Don't know it's my timid anger or strength of fury...
And then people ask me,"Are you all right?"...
I don't know what to say so I walked quite...
Cause words are often misunderstood...
And my silence is not taken as something good...
As I walked but the road had a divergence...
"You can efford only one!" from my pocket, jiggled the pence...
So the journey is still on...
At horizon cheers the sun at dusk & dawn...
Penning things down on my run...
So my children get stories when I m done...
And stories are passed down the dynasty...
Some have happy endings while others seem nasty...
Cause perhaps some novels are complete..
While others just run out of ink and sheet...
And those who say leaving a story at half is kind of rude...
I just say "patience my dear" ,
It's to be continued....

Their eyes met briefly
She giggled
He smiled at her
Her nose she wiggled
She smiled back
His hips he swiveled
He removed his shirt
Abs revealed, perfectly chiseled
She threw back a mane of hair
Her ample chest, it jiggled…
Sparks of electricity fairly bristled ~
Just then was heard a low wolf-whistle

She was the baby-faced doll of the thirties for sure.
Her long eyelashes and adorable legs, not incredibly pure.
Max and Grim, her illustrators had the true scoop
On their lovely creation, Miss Betty Boop!
Her button nose wiggled, and she jiggled with happy
She danced around on the screen, making us sappy
We thought she was perfect, she was a living doll.
I think everyone loved her, but maybe me most of all.
I am a cartoonist, and most of my cartoons are like her.
They are Rubenesque like women who look totally impure.
I have not drawn one to perfection, but I keep trying every day.
Betty Boop still makes me happy, wanting to dance and to play!

Jesus came and he visited me
He wanted to see my Christmas tree
But it was only Spring
The doorbell didn't ring
Though I did give him a smile with glee
He had jiggled the door handle
'told him he'd have to remove his sandles
He walked in the room
Where I hastily broomed
I offered him tea as a gamble
This limerick makes no gosh-darn sense
Did Jesus come for me to pay rent
I found my fake green tree
Then hurried off to pee
What message did the blessed lord sent

He wriggled and squirmed,
Like a demented worm.
Fidgeted and fumbled,
Grimaced and grumbled,
He jiggled and jived,
Contorted and writhed,
Kept saying Arrr,
Like a wasp in a jar.
He was out of control,
This poor wretched soul,
As he reached fever pitch,
He found the itch,
Which he scratched until,
His body stayed still.

If I had a kangaroo’s pouch
I would house a baby bunny inside
It would have big ears and bigger feet.
My tummy would tickle when it jiggled around in there.
If the bunny hopped out, I would replace her with a robin.
A mommy robin with a pretty nest and three sky blue eggs.
When she wanted to feed them worms I would kick them out.
I do not want worms in my pouch.
I would get a puppy next.
A puppy never leaves.
A puppy is loyal.

Like a reclusive boat, I remained there,
discerning the prevailing winds of change,
which many a time, made me embrace fear,
by surpassing the stipulated range.
When winds of change blurred the light house's light,
I blanked out and forgot my wonted route.
Struggled, wiggled and jiggled without sight
amid the sea, and there a hope sprouted.
Even when vigorously slapped on face,
and ruthlessly elevated mild tides,
it's a toilsome task to shudder ,sea base
and that's why I endorse her as a guide.
She persuaded that it's not writ large force
that help us win; it's just our inner source
