For Dwina, in celebration of Talia's
graduation from high school.
Dear mother, warm around me--
tender home for just this while;
so close together, you and I
I feel good when you smile.
Dear mother, here you've brought me
to this world so vast and bright;
oh, hold me close, protect me
and we'll rest here, for the night.
Dear mother, I'm so hungry--
right away, oh will you please?
I ache and pain and need you so...
oh hurry, desperately!
Dear mother, play with me awhile
a patty-cake or three;
again, again, just one more time--
oh mommy, play with me!
Dear mother I am frightened;
there's more out there than I knew!
But standing tall beside me,
'not so scary, thanks to you.
Dear mother, must I do this,
all this work and just this way?
'But this is hard' I tell you; 'So,
together, then' you say.
Dear mother, you have taught me
oh, so very many things;
choices 'yes' and others 'no'--
to plan the ends they bring.
Dear mother, now, I'm ready
to go out there...on my own!
(well, maybe just a little ways--
not too, too, far from home).
For home is where I'll find you
shining bright, to guide my way;
with tender words and wisdom
made to get me through the day.
Dear mother, now I see you
for the hero that you are;
a quite medal winner:
without contest, without star.
Dear mother, oh, I thank you,
for these things you are to me--
from chance at life beginning,
to the one I'm off to be.
To see the world so vast and bright
to choose the ends I see;
but always there--inside my heart:
Dear mother, you will be.
Her golden locks glide grandly through our gladioli gilded garden gateway,
I gulp ginormous groundbreaking gulleys,
telltale tear tsunamis cut cataclysmic currents,
raw reckless rupture of romantic render,
terror-stricken tangential tamper seal evidence
on lumpen lunge lonesome lachrymose levee
Abandoned to anthemion arch ambience awash or afloat with apoplectic angst,
afterthoughts amazing amplitude aligns with an amorous abundance once opulent,
majestic memories marvel at
mystic magnifying glass that multiplies mammoth moods,
separation from silken sensual strand sculpture in sapphire stone,
this stagnant somber seeker must supplant or suppress solitude’s silent shiver
Without warning a wellspring whispered windfall weave from winsome woman,
wide-eyed wondrous wakeful wizardry woos whining wildcard wreck,
a cascade of charismatic crystal colour clusters trial and tribulation trauma that trembles deep inside,
delightful dawn denouement dame drifts in dreamland dale,
“precious pining pristine pearl
I present panoramic passionate parameters to
propitiate bitter broken-hearted baleful bond.”
Fantastic flourish found festoons for emotional evocative environment evolved,
illustrious intimate intrigue inlaid immediately,
Heather’s halcyon harmonic laces labyrinthine lavender love,
heart healing honeymoon handcraft
herald on high,
supreme sensei soulmates savour
sentiment surreal beyond an iridescent infinite inkling

First Place Podium Medal Winner
JCB BRUL My Lost and Found Love Alliteration Contest
Judged April 21st 2022
As a seventeen year old competitive swimmer,
the other swimmer I looked up to was Mark Spitz,
he was a multiple gold medal winner,
a wonder in the water, a swimming blitz.
I had Olympic dreams,
my element was the aquatic,
but life took me in another direction, it seemed,
the lure of going to practices seemed less exotic.
How I loved the smell of the pool chlorine,
I sliced through the water as if a dolphin,
I so cherished the marine,
but other obligations needed to fit in.
The working world was calling,
and aspiring for the Game's gold had to
be retired,
but I was elated Mark had world records
falling,
and I still feel inspired.
As another Summer Olympics comes to
a close,
I'm proud of the athletes who devote their
time and sweat to their sport,
and I surely suppose,
I'll always treasure my long ago youth
in New York. ~
