Another Easter spent
feasting on Jelly Bean Martinis,
sculpting butter lambs
with Nana’s mastiff Escort
snoring by tabletop fire.

Aunt Bea smoked lemongrass,
shading wooden eggs

suggested we whip each other with willow rods,
sprinkle ice-choked...

within bone China 
or simple ceramic textures, 
savoring salt and spices,
but when it becomes
bland,...

a red rose is what a lover will chose;
elegant, opulent, everlasting,
so sweet with white baby's breath contrasting.

She stood amidst the tropic breeze
the girl with blue Aruba eyes
Between the fruiting mango trees
neath pastel sunset shimmered skies

Where lemongrass and grottos weave
and footprints wander in...

Dewdrops on grass verge
Morning apparitions;
Welcome for sunrise


Two stray cats
Territorial panther black;
Tiger shades strides proudly


Old house by stadium
Looks lovely by road view;
Memories return like spring


Son and new daughter
Marriage works well;
Relatives celebrate union


Morning appertif
Lemongrass and ginger;
Brilliant concortion

Dull lemongrass dusts the ship’s unclean deck.
Sail with trusted mates,...
