Lindsey is Olde English for “Linden Tree by the brook”,
A tree universal, celebrated in many cultures being namely,
Doctor Tree, of Health, Feminine Arts, nook,
Of soothing calm, Light, Truth, an amulet tree,
Its deep shade is a knowing look,
Friends see another, marriages be happy,
For Heart shaped leaves do hook!
A Linden was at village centers,
Parks, Hospitals, court hearings,
Lining many noble’s garden shoulders,
Litigant conciliations endearing,
Testimony credible, curing opponent smolders,
Body ailments, “Quarts of Hurts” rearings,
Colds, skin blotches, spasms not enduring!
Volcanoes of bees, honey exquisite,
Perfume fragrance, edible leaves,
Salad makings requisite,
White or yellow tiny petal cleaves,
Linden shade hosts visits,
Motherly care, compassion sheaveings,
Fidelity, fraternity, matrimony, humble wits,
We need more Lindseys less poet leavings,
Lindens increase peace & alertness,
Be a Lert, we need more Lerts!

some clouds have gathered
on the south-east sky,
a rainbow has risen
rightly opposite of it
infatuated I'm
by the kiss of pole-star,
on the bank of a river
I've found a hefty stream of population
some clouds have gathered in my mind,
covered me with dead sea
no bee was there,
no hive or honey
the tears to the shore-less sea
now flow by the eye
for litigant lie

RECIPE: “Poulet Roti” French Style - Ballade “Le Chant Royal” 9
STANZA VIII
The French way is to damn you as litigant
Constant professional victim of the Law
Make you read law books be your own defendant
Rush about hang in queues write letters in awe
To lawyers judges ministers presidents
Cull evidence witnesses sealed documents
Which lawyers misplace refuse to cite in case
Desert you in court judges’ contempt to face
Appeal after appeal the single-parent
Must kneel to abuse looks threats to save one’s face
Ev’ry legal ruse used to make one relent
ENVOI
The mother well-entrenched in high police place
Tightens the screws turns the spit with cruel grace
Lets son stew in acrid juice with lone parent
While her wild secret antics rue her race
Ev’ry legal ruse used to make one relent
(c) T. Wignesan - Paris, 2017
