The final refrain of King Kane's reign

A true good sort of our beloved sport held court...name in hall of fame has its place but nought plaudits sought humility taught to face the rash race to slapdash and onslaught of all out pace which Kane fought and was slain again with a swish of his lions mane and lashings of panache & lacy grace..



His oeuvre could hang in the Louvre so arcane

Heavenly humility hums on simply higher plane

Angelic ability strums his rhapsody of restrain

Classy never brassy this balletic lullaby refrain


Symphony epiphanies aesthetic of his reign

Poetic ebb & flow kinetic that third man lane  

Stoic almost prophetic that cricketing brain

Heroic skipper of champagne WTC campaign

  
Ascetic in the nets again insane how he’d train

So fond of his willow wand traditions to maintain

Never frenetic play to the conditions he’d explain

Textbook renditions history of Test tapestry retain


Weird mystery Robinson Crusoe beard did sustain

Stranded on isle of guile & wile is Kane’s domain  

Martin Crowe did know such style you can’t feign

Never vain or inane with lacy grace did entertain


Didn't complain final mission got lost in the rain

Good sort of our sport from limelight did abstain

No disdain this knight's records forever remain

Memories of mastery & artistry will never wane


Last post gong is a love song feel the Kiwi pain

Goodbye Kane we will never see your like again

Snippets of Spring vol 1

Blakean ghosts' boasts..frollicking in rollicking

Rolling hillock hosts..ripe shenanigans..perry toasts

Believing in hefty heaving heroes

Hallowed harbingers..halcyon hedgerows

Harbouring tranches of branches..ferry very merry berries

Majestic mosaic montage barge of balletic 

Incandescent flowers..weaving wherries

Showering prophetic kaleidoscopic poetic dreams

Streams through towering mesmeric green tunnels

Full to the gunnels..reams of sheens teem..flowing funnels

Bestowing.. glowing transcendent beams gleam kinetic

Luminescent aesthetic barrage..overpowering iridescent fluorescent flowering
  
Every single one of Mother nature's tendrils tingle

Mingle..saluting seasonal succour..mooting rebooting from fruiting..pukka

King Kane you've done it again

Ah King Kane.. you’ve done it again

Heavenly humility hums on a simply higher plane..

Angelic ability strums..curious necks studious crane

Classical charms forever waver but won’t wistfully wane

Professorial textbook tutorials..clever rhapsodies of restrain

Classy but never brassy..balletic lullabies of lyrical refrain

Dizzying dedication..insane..education.. epiphanies explain how to train

Eureka seeker...aurora explorer..yielded iconic pedagogic logic..

Willow wielded wonders sprinkled with sparkle…

Heroic champagne campaign shielded possible debacle..

Kane stoic no pretence…venerates poetic defence…purringly prophetic    

Guiles..wiles.. bewitch…bamboozling composure..silky smooth aesthetic

Was it just a jest…Smithy did suggest …Kane’s last ever test

No more communions…timber timbre tickles..more highlights than Bucks Fizz reunions

Elan fans wish…our Lord of the Rings on the pitch across the ditch.. baggy green disdain

Stratospheric.. slayed & flayed by a Sorcerer’s blade

Precision magician…traditional technician

Mesmeric mercurial master…history made
 
The last post gong sounds like a love song

Ah Captain Kane you’ve only gone and done it again

Bluebell Dells

Idyllic illicit illusion…

Complicit daydream delusion…

Explicit panoply profusion…

Other worldly garlanded gems..

Purring poetic…balletic..stirring kinetic aesthetic..

Absurdly drop atop delicious stems..

Heavenly blue hue...serenity’s serendipitous shade..

Or purple patch so plush…fairies blamelessly blush..

Bucolic blossom hush... mother nature's made..

Garnishing..varnishing.. intricate forest floor laid..

Magical mist…delicate..sumptuously sprayed... 

Trysts persist…unctuously dappled glade..

How can you resist..not be swayed?

Flagrantly decadently displayed. 

Fragrantly delectably conveyed...

Casts seasonal smorgasbord spells..

Marvel at the mythical majesty..

Spring’s cocooned woven tapestry..

Festooned filigree of bluebell dells

The new rookie better than nookie

Only the very young & very beautiful can be so aloof

Hanging out with the boys all swagger & poise

Our new dashing wannabe tyro is ample proof 

(coined by Tom with aplomb.. purloined by me)


Mused Caribbean calypso cool fused with well private school

Cherished plush rhapsodies segue with relished lush melodies

Lips licks fancy flicks & tricks picnics phoenix from the Ashes

Remedies for believers lulled by lullabies from lyrical levers


Poetic shapes lacy lines never frenetic balletic aesthetic

The boundary rope dope trope Jacob is our new hope

The computer says “YES” suitor for the future prophetic


Or down with the kids well Bethell’s the real deal rookie

Badgers hearts swell feels like proper Test cricket nookie

Tell his chilled southpaw drawer got more than Cookie

While other than Joe everyone else was playing hooky

Golden curls & olden twirls.. BET HELL for the bookie

Premium Member The Dancer

It was her poise and grace 
that set her apart;
a gentle rhythmic walk. 
Soft velvet tones of 
gracefulness as she talked. 

Her voice danced as she spoke. 
Her eyes glistened in animated 
interest as she listened, 
focused, undeviating from 
the intense conversation 

she was involved in. 
Expressive, long-fingered hands. 
Gesticulating with the ebb 
and flow of torrid words. 
Stopping only to smooth a 

straying hair back to perfection. 
Interjection of soft salsa 
verbal rocking, picking up 
the tempo to tangoed crescendo, 
waltzing in three time, 
quick stepping to conversational conclusion. 

As she stood to leave, 
long legs unravelled, rising 
to pose in balletic stance, 
her bar a chair back, a smile, 
a graceful backward glance.... 

Drifting on a cloud of chiffon 
she floats away.  Willowy limbs 
carrying her noiselessly, 
stunning her audience as heads 
all crane to admire her as she leaves. 

Always a dancer. Her life her stage. 
Carefully choreographed. 
Her earthly progress mapped 
in song and dance on every page 
of score and libretto.... 

Disciplined. 
Majestic movement from head 
to tiny tapped toe. 
Always a dancer. 
Applaud her as she goes.

Azure Sea and Its Untiring Waves

A serene summer evening
Brimming with beauty, the shore was panoramic, 
Caressed gently by silvery waves
Dancing to the tune of soft cool wind. The
Ebb and flow of the waves so rhythmic, 
Following one another like kids running in a row, 
Gleefully holding hands. The sea gleamed in 
Hues of azure blue: greeting me warmly. 
In a moment so dreamy, my mind leaped for
Joy - as I stood by the shore, the waves
Kissed my feet, the cool water tickling my toes. 
Listening to its murmur, I stood there amazed at the
Myriad of thoughts the azure blue evokes. 
Nothing but a pulsating harmony of blue did I see - 
Oh! the humming of the waves so enthralling and
Peaceful, as if answering all the
Queries in my mind. The sea in her
Robes of cerulean blue appeared to be
So poised and placid. Her dainty balletic 
Twirls were graceful: an alluring elegant blue 
Under the glorious sky that is a
Velvet of purple and pink now as the sun was setting. 
Waves gurgled a symphony - soothing my mind like a
Xylophone's music. Far out at the sea I saw a
Yacht bobbing up and down the waves and a gentle
Zephyr whispered goodbye into my ears as I started to leave for home.

Have to admit.. do have a bit 

Of a trenchant penchant

Alright adore southpaw purveyors

Dabbles..pique aroused..rabbles in the stands roused

Unique sleek cheek of their chic espoused

Bowlers...reduced to trollopes

Us seduced by players with not 

Just a dash of flash panache 

But hefty lefty dollops


Innings built by the lilt of lyrical levers which tilt to the hilt

Lush lullaby scores..lapping sandy shores with endless encores

Who’s get the ring or Tiara as

Greatest Caribbean queen ever been seen..
(sorry notions of one of Billy Ocean's top pop potions)
 
Most blessed and least stressed..every ball caressed and finessed

Also always impeccably dressed…the Calypso 

Maestro…lothario…romeo…guru…Brian Charles Lara


First one since the Don to go so much bigger

Score..such vim on a whim…verve and vigour

Doing what only Bradman can but with 

More touch..canny elan trigger than rigour


Frightening elite feet..like lightning

Remember in his pomp the 1994 romp

First class farce..501 not out rout..never been out done

Then in 2004.. did it once more..set the new top score

He’s Kane and Abel…top of the table fable for sure


All time prime sublime number one?

From the land of the other hand

Can anyone outgun or out ton?

Travesty to shun..majesty 

Artistry of the Lara tapestry

What he brought to the sport

Memories never wane

The Fab Four is no more



The fab four...not Scouse superstar serenaders..

Stellar constellations of cricketing fascinations...

Connoisseur christened, humdinger harbingers..
 
Listen…whispers of willow wizardry whistle…glisten..

Skipper sorcery glow…celestial cerebral Martin Crowe..

Appetites whet..forget the quartet..for the fab four is no more..

Game's pantomime dame, Kohli...encores harangued..

Creeping crepuscular flaws…Virat’s ersatz career nadir scores..

Smith's sisyphean shuffles..flummoxed fossicking for form.. 

In mists of time..muffled murmurs of his prime...

Two remain....caressed nurdle nirvanas...nudges finessed...Kane..

Benjamin Button…old school whiffs…lyrical lever lullabies..

Rooted rhapsody riffs..gourmand & glutton..

Wallowing in echoes..aesthetic embers of the past...

Trained elbow craned....poetic flighty feet…

Silkily souffle sashays scream balletic....

Swishes so late, almost tardy...halcyon garlanded greats..

Third man tickles...soft hands court..behind cover cavort..

Wooing nooks...seducing crannies..scoreboard cooing..

Relished textbook looks..cherished record books..embellished..

Joe shuns Icarus...strums eclipsing Sachin's sun..

Kane’s hushed kudos..won’t boast..hums humility…..

Genius garnishing..legends..legacies..

So time “gentlemen” please..

Lachrymose Last Post toast.

Final round for Kane..Joe & Martin Crowe..

Late great host…ruminating perched proud.. 

Hankering..hollering with the crowd..

Illuminating a long white cloud..

With Coral Eyes

When you struck me,i vibrated like a kettle drum
then as smaller percussions and repercussions
echoing from all the glassy surfaces
creating a balletic geometry of sound tracks
in space and time.

When you knocked me down,
I fell against her and her and her;
we were like a row of skittles
and we all went down with the lifeboat;
the infinite chain of being is.

When you hit me,the Fall spread across the world
Now there is no Vertical
All is undivine and graceless.
By the Rod it's ruled

When you left me,I left myself,the world,the rocks,dry land
I weighed down sank to the ocean bed
with coral eyes
gazing.

When you struck my mind
I became an instrument of a foreign power
Singing a song I didn't kmow.

When the glass was smashed
the splinters flew into all our hearts.
You didn't know what we couldn't see.

I lay on barren ground and gave birth
To my own Creator in the desert.
He was not dead at all.
But you killed him.
