Long Girdles Poems

Stately stood Princess Amber in all her finery,
Emerald tunic over a crimson gown,
With gems inlaid in her rustling gown,
Her arms bangled in intricate gold slowly rose,
Her slender fingers rested on her heaving bosom,
Listening to unstopping...

Even the Lazy Lizard

Even the lazy lizard knows when not to beg,
when not to emerge, from behind the hungry black rock of 
another dying hand, hopelessly clutching the mysteries of 
another sit-down, in the serene...

of their fathers, in the land of Egypt,
in the field of Zoan ...

There was a time when the great, gridiron classic,

The chains that bind me are soft as silk, 
Gossamer to the touch, so thin you wouldn’t think they could hurt...
They seem no more than mere bangles, 
Jewelled manacles adorning throat and wrists and ankles
They...

The invitations were sent to alumni far and near,
To gather for the school reunion later in the year.
The ultimate occasion to turn on all the old charm,
And fondly remember those who have bought the farm!

A GOOD WOMAN:

She dares to take risk,
Without showing any burdensome signals.
She ignores shame to lay brisk,
As if it's something trivial.
She holds her dreams with pride,
Sharpens her intuition with might.
Her achievements comes from her goals,
And her...

body builders have an ab-sense
girdles are just an abs-tractions
to communicate is to accomplish-'meant'
to know your limits means know-'ledge'

being elected does not come with a flag'grant'

Voyagers, convene thyselves to return, among us...

Oriental head dresses glisten in mid-morning sunlight
small waists fitted into tight girdles and large crinolines 
move gracefully over chipped cobblestone

Men tip their top hats and wink at beautiful young women twirling decorative 
umbrellas over well...

Bazaar
 

The nights’ chest opens up -
strings of illusions
rattle in palms
the knowing buyers haggle
for a dream
while the fascinated women
try on 
toles of princesses or odalisques.
In the shell of hope
genuine perls are priceless.

Silk labyrinth
of amber and...

The path progresses in a linear manner
like a fallen tree trunk 
branching occasionally.

Perpendicular cousins gauntlet
the peripheral borders.

Winter’s extreme nudity
revealing an earthly crust,
a spine of granite;
a body desiccated of life’s fluids.

Yet, the sparse, angular, forms 
retain...

That's what they say to me,

Writing verse that does not conform,

Style which doesn't comply with their old dead masters,

Using formats that threaten aged literary girdles, 

So long ago having lost their stretch,

Constraining brains to the...

Plan B up your sleeves saves the day
When your main plan on its knees flounders
Your hopes and aspirations led astray far from their hope ray
In the midst of howlers and blunders

From tiny gals with itty-bitty bippies
to larger ladies with super-dooper droopers,
we curse the “men” who design underwire iron maidens.

My “pointers” don’t bounce
(as a friend observed),
so why submit to torturous braziers?

I’m glad they don’t droop –

I live in a family of big muscular women
Some are as dainty as a hippopotamus
Our family does not have a waist.
None of us have ever had a waist.
Waists are for other people’s families.

We have girdles,...

Despair depressed in quicksands of time, hollow inside
Dented dreams collapse insipid, capsize and subside
Failure makes the razed life dark.

Latent beacon flashes on the desolate inner pathway
The light beckons through the drooping haze of dismay 
On...

At times the journey seems difficult 
   The hillocks of life evolve into mountains
The joy set before, tend to feeble and die

On balmy beach blithe commodore
Without ship, rudder, or rowing oar
Striding gusts, waves only chore
Soothing breeze girdles the shore
Sidling along, currents to explore
Mind's tranquil base to restore
Body's chafed shaft to bore
Frothy mist o'er skin doth pour
Swabbed...

Geez fella won’t you look at me,
