waving to admirers
in...

bursting the seed pods of passion

Passion pulses in his lines
Awe and wonder in his rhymes
Undressed is each wanton dream
Love's triumph: the greatest theme!

All his words etched in sublime!
Light and luscious- what a treat!
Lilting cadence: rhythmic,...

'Twas not long ago, I did retire -
Time for me to regroup.
And like a buzzing fly, I fell into
A bowl of Poetry Soup!

Late hours of evening, back to home alone
Lizards preying on insect, cockroach flying happily
No old nets of derelict spiders in dark blue airs
Archipelago scenery grinning on my coming back
(Neon Tetra, Guppies, Oscar, Mollies, Zebra Danios…etc)...
