it came crashing down
like school fish released
from the tight confines
of a course rope...

Dream 1: 4 Weeks In Positano

Kisses long linger warm lips tasted intense
so sweet like cured Valencia Oranges
lips liquored triple sec not dry drunk on love

The Ghost of Christmas PresentTerrence the Turkey was feeling quite perky
Passing time in his rafter and doing no harm
No fighting nor squabbling, just gabbling and gobbling

A Midsummer Night's BeachWhen I was a girl, still on the island
I’d sit in the sand
and brood
and revel
in what I thought was utter enlightenment
a teenage rebel

We were all this way, and there is no shame
In the...

Autumn Side Of SeptemberIn the middle ages
these roughed and scuffed decades
between newborn crocus snow-melt-nursed and
dried hydrangea blooms sepia-skinned and papery thin
I earned the right to wear sapphires
and burn my mademoiselle mistakes with wisdom-fires
it took me a while to...

Odyssey From Africa 13bCh. 13 b (The whale, cont.)

As they glimpsed beneath the surface
Flashing rays of gold and silver
Of the dolphins and the swordfish
That converged with blue-fin tuna
To the swarming sardine banquet
Then not fifty...

Of wind-blown swirls on the sand...
Snowflakes mixed with...

Didn't we all become poets
Madmen leaked a rash of sky-blue puddle;
fatally cloistered the hat-flu's hubble -
To wit:

Far far ready to say maybe to love;
moved in half-dream to...
