Ibiza's St Eularia has a pleasant
playground square, the Plaza del Canon,
above the Carrer Molins de Rei,
and below the longer Carrer del Mar.
One corner, with its small cafe,
is the shady side to meet,
holding loosely to the doggy lead
sipping coffee, nibbling treats.
The grannies and the mothers
watch their children run and play
and splash and soak in fountains
at the cooling of the day.
When school let's out for evening
with Ramo's bouquets on display
Older children drop their rucksacks
and their school bags with their caps
to ride upon the nodding horse,
slide down upon their backs.
At five o'clock precisely
the fountains are switched on
where the youngest run and scream
between, one with his panties gone.
Flinging high his stubby arms,
head barely reached by hands,
And lifting an almighty shout
he let's a glory sound come out,
a loud and joyful Yaaay!!
an exaltant and a great hooray!
This bursting of unbridled joy
fast rising from within
has broken from this little boy
through his wide and toothless grin.
Behind him sits a naked demon,
St Eularia's fond Familiar, cast in
bronze he sits within a rowing boat
his hands upon two oars
with his genitals exposed,
and stick-thin limbs, his gargoil face
and grin, disguise the fears that should arise
but it seems that no one knows
real dangers that familiars pose.
This rowing demon waits for growing
children to wander and to stray,
to clamber in his boat one day
and then he'll row away.
A metal desk, dog-eared books, peeling shelves,
a teaching job I took in spite of myself.
Desperation. No time to think, just sign and go
across the state, no chance to know.
What waited there: dust, barren land, and desert heat~
Ninth graders entered with eager smiles and respectful feet.
Their nods so quick, their hungry eyes so bright
masked a language gap and a wall of fright.
August heat burned like molten brass; the A/C died~
we fled outside for relief in the desert wide.
Across the desert three dust storms spun like signs of death
El Diablo trae mala suerte! they shouted in horrified breath.
They spoke in a language I didn’t understand~
Oh dear! Their English vocabulary I must expand.
Not books, not curriculum~I’d have to take a stand.
I’ll use comic books! became my secret, unconventional plan
Seventh-grade books replaced the rest;
my students gave their all, their very best.
The risks were high, the stakes bold and clear,
but desperation sharpened my goals, sincere.
My students learned; their English skills grew
from stumbling words to sentences true.

Simply put
since it's worth mentioning
thought I'd bring this to your
attention
I don't wannabe like this
only to walk away
what can I say
tell me what
can I say
People you disappoint
I try to impress
sometimes
it aint about just you
Think of more than yourself
what I am gonna say
about you and I
when they ask me are ya'll
together
I don't wanna cry
I dpn't wanna cry
Love champions some
and saves plenty
Love aint worth a pile of beans
when you got to many
Lovers hear what I say
My lover take heed
it's you and I
it's you and I
Darling you know what I mean
take your time make me
the center of your
effections
keep me lover
keep me
don't keep me guessing
Their ma & pa were Eastenders
Blah blah..don’t remember the Blitz
Brash Cockney pretenders..same flash apparel
Let's get our mitts on a stash of Aperol spritz
Dimwits just going on benders
Bawdy tawdry mockney skits
Gits getting off their t*ts
Twits showing off their bits
Who fits?..Identikit Brits..pout
All about the clout of gaudy glitz
Silhouettes of stiletto dancers & handbags
Riff raff as naff as an 80’s cornetto
Perms & permatans..sl*gs..fancy dans in glad rags
Rhyming slang falsetto twang libretto
Chancers on a stag..s*ag nip & tuck hags
Nags of WAGS made up to the nines
Brag after cocaine lines did blag
One snag..look like a dag in drag
All from the fashion label stable
No restraint.. cannot refrain
Grandstand the brands fable
Diadora diaspora ..Fila Villa
With a Pierre Cardin Jardin
Taint just like they do in Spain
Sex..success…the way you dress
Prosecco fizz...getting in a tizz
Gilded specs and builded pecs
Greed and that need to impress
Avoid don't feed this schadenfreude hell
That is indeed called Costa Del ESSEX
It's a sincere compliment
you know you are very
important to me
bring it up
only to change my mind
guess you wanna know
why I'm acting so
sweet and kind
guess you recognize it
by the way I make you feel
keeping it real
I'm in love with you
Keeping it real
even though I don't know
what I'm talking about
we got it over
and whn we didn't have much
to say
love soothed all the
heartache away
kissed me and then
a whisper
tonight we started loving
each other again
cause your more then a fre
tonight we start loving
one another again
Looked out the window
saw you coming in
opened the door
for my best friend
saw your smile
and that's when
I was so in love
and I'm still in love
say you love me
and I'll say I love you too
aint knowthing in the
world I won't do
you know it's true
Senses overwhelmed, history revealed,
I step into Plaza Mayor.
Antique hues of pinks and grays stun.
Madrid welcomes me.
Late sun casts golden shadows.
Camaraderie envelops.
I peel my brain for words.
Spanish brass serenades,
a musical aperitif.
Thoughts turn to supper,
as I walk and walk.
I see it, “Menu del Dia” in amber and red.
Savory breeze guides me.
It reads, "Tapas, Chorizo y Jamon",
I can’t resist
Vino Tinto completes me
as I wonder the day.
9/28/17
Everyone said, “Always order the Menu del Dia”
With that and little else, I headed for Spain
The sun is overjoyed
reaching its zenith
suspending in cloudless sapphire skies
in a scarlet lit horizon
its solar sheen is veiled,
beyond the handsome hacienda
hidden from ancient alibis
a time of musings I can’t resist
I paint a likeness of her,
wistful watercolor bursts
highlights by brushed strokes
gently caressing her skin, she wears
an unrestrained ear to ear grin
recherché, warmth rare
as a ruby red stone
a sonorous soprano’s tone
ravened tresses cascade unruly
copious tangled locks flow wild
within stirs the silver stars,
she perceives the wisdom in the callow
& indelible in the wise
youths’ oval ebony, &soulful eyes
a generous yet haunting sad smile,
transcending space &time
it rids me of my harden heart’s denial
on a quest of her own,
a love child grown
…&so has a
a mother’s love
Place it on my tongue, Dulce del Diablo.
I am available with nowhere to go,
I will follow your lead, I will be in tow.
Let’s make a mockery of my dancing shoes,
prolongate the melody what do you choose?
Do not let me go, the magic we will lose.
I can feel the heat the fire within your eyes,
you’re no demon you’re a bird of paradise.
For this moment I’m willing to pay the price.
Let us waste away the hours until daybreak
forgetting for a moment what is at stake.
Affection is a chance everyone must take.
Hot as cinnamon and as sweet as candy,
absolute power I feel it intensely.
Dulce del Diablo will you dance with me?

THEY HAD ALOT TO TALK ABOUT
THEY FOUND A GROUP FROM THE
UPPER- VALLEY ON THE EDGE OF THE SETTLMENT
IT BOTHERED SOME
KNOWING THAT sTAMBLE mEANEST WAS AMONG THOSE SPOTTED.
STAMBLE HAD FATHER A CHILD WITH SEVERAL WOMAN IN THE SETTLEMENT.
AND WISHED TO MARRY ONE OF THE DAUGHTERS OF WARBIRD.
THIS WENT AGAINST THE WISHES OF WARBIRD, AND EVEN HIS FATHER WHO HAD LABELED
HIM A TRAITOR TO HUMANITY.
HE HAD ALLIED HIMSELF WITH THE POFIA-DAFF-GANNY, A COUNTERINTELLIGENCE
GROUP FROM AN AREA IN SOUTH MEXICO.
THEY LOOTED A WORSHIP AREA IN PITITO ALLOW STAMBLE ACCESS TO THE SETTLEMENT, PUTTING A BOUNTY ON HIS HEAD AND
ONLY ALLOWED HIM THE RIGHT TO WRITE HIS CHILDREN.ZIA AND SHIPPED THE GOLD TO THE VALLEY TO BE STORED THEIR.
WHY DID THE SETTLERS AGREE, IS SOMETHING OF A MYSTERY.
IT IS SAID THAT THAT THE TREASURE WAS HAUNTED, AND A CURSE WAS MADE ON IT.
THOSE WHO WISHED TO POSSES
THE TREASURE WOULD DO SO AT A RISK.
SOME SCHOLARS SAY THAT WHEN THE SETTLERS MELTED THE GOLD
AND MADE COINS
THE FLOOR OF THE BUILDING BEGAN SHAKING.
AND SOME REPORTS THAT THE DOORS FELL FROM THEIR HINGES.
NOT WANTING THE TROUBLE FROM THE SPANISH SOLDERS, THEY
REFUSED. WARBIRD WAS QUOTED AS SAYING, "HE ( STAMBLE) WISHES TO MAKE WOMAN THINK LIKE MEN.
CAUSING THEM, TO CREATE A CULTURE AROUND HIM.
YET WHAT IS RECREATED OFTEN CREATES NEW PROBLEMS"
