To any wonderfully wise person
Is a good endeavor. That’s not bad.

However, sending exquisite flowers
Is the best, sweetest archetypal way
To say, I love you many times over
Over, and...

MR. FRITZ AND BLACK SHEEP  :

Arrival at the clinic,
We're here to fix things.
Where's the the dentist?
This dude tooth's aching,
Thus Black Sheep;
He's not fit for some days.
He returned from London last two weeks.
It's pain's such...

We’ll be
together again – I
assure you! I’m sure
of it from the
bottom of my
almost-broken heart!
Just keep in mind
that we will stumble
into obstacles and
we must fight
together to win this
time around! We need
to work as a
terrific,
totally-prepared
team, letting out
fired-up,...

I was a celebrated, professional psychic, offering glimpses of rosy future;
And helping people work through problems, like pink moon, come sooner.

I had learnt to talk with the spirits, and also relate what they were saying,
To...

En la vida
y
En los negocios
Nada en este mundo
puede tomar el lugar
de la persistencia y de la determinación.

El Talento sólo
pero no es así.
nada es más común
que personas
fracaso
con talento.

Casi siempre
La genialidad recompensa
tarde;
el mundo está lleno
de personas geniales;

Eleven – “Novelism: The-Newness-of-the-Old”
(for: Deborah Guzzi, my poetess-commentator)
… & the argument continues
… That nothing new exists of itself in Nature is now a widely reputed view. Nothing is new

Cat you are a glorious beast, but I nor any other need tell you that. So content within your given domain. For the most part you are a genial ruler. Tolerating the occasional intrusion of...

I seem to keep punishing Bo my naughty Golden Retriever,
He sneaks and lurks and is suspicious with Rosie our sassy cat,
My daughter says she caught them snuggling, I don’t believe...

Woman, woman that I loved uncommonly
Several springs ago
When the weather was good and callow
When the wind whistled swiftly, low and slow
Oh! Woman, you were young, strong and sparkling
Darling, now you're deceased
Lying down and sleeping comatose...

Exile prophet, seer of Patmos,
peering through a time yet future,
saw your rising, not from waters,
but from the bowels of the earth.

Lamb-like beast adorned with two horns,
destined by God’s grace for greatness.
Chosen while not yet a...

As your wish of Persephone’s homecoming

We prepare minimal harvests from upheaval
Lost cause is the aid from ill-advised panic, 

This casts doubt on her uncertain retrieval. 

Demeter! Eyes of own appreciate our harvest,

These distant fields furrow...

Joyous Day At The Train Station


A most absurd thing happened while I made my way
to meet my morning train one sunny, summer day.
While walking on the path I saw the engineer
I see most every day...

luckily for our ambiguous plot structure
and the stern requirements of partisan doggerel
the ringing coin toss bounced then came up tails
and fortune directed that the box be opened
gingerly gripped in two slender shaking hands
by Pepper d'Angelo...

She has a pair of subtle eyes to brood in forlorn,
the vile tale of heart rending cacophonic dissolution.
Those eyes were meek, never crude
to yearn the ties of proximity longed! 
Those meek adorable eyes have endured...

African youth on the
Pins and needles, 
Pains...huh!
So painful ...Yooh!. 
African youth shout 
Shout loudly... Eh!

Crying in exposing  the power hunger, 
Which is called selfishness in tongue 
Of genial. 

Some people out there are hungry for...

A fluffy orange tabby cat visited my humble abode today
She wore absurd red knickers, and hat tilted a most genial way.

She gave a knock quite timidly, kindly invited herself in.
The reflection from her golden coat...

My cat was caught behind the boiler and in deep distress

She was mewing loudly in an absurd and irritable way

The dreaming self of mine, coagulate
to form an image purely supreme
to intermingle all my mellow thoughts
and create a thing above all.

The senses are most absorbing
and are getting each thing perfect
blending each thing to their mighty...

without the constellations?
Its immense void would only be
filled by the gruesome darkness;
and the obscured earth would have no luminous
moon to gaze upon those mountains and seas!


Times past I used to...

Happy.  Genial.  Merry.  Jolly
Blottoed, blasted, etched and blitzed
Mellow, foggy, hazy, squiffy
Tipsy.  Tiddly.  Brahms and Liszt

Dazed, zombied, tanked-up, trollied
Ganted, gubbed, guttered
Bladdered, blathered, leathered, plastered, 
Sozzled, sloshed, scuttered

Hammered, battered, caned, mangled
Spannered, mullered....
