My people love marching!
Attending rain dancing parades,
doing a bunch of fire-breathing talking
Little drummer boys and girls

in designer protest fashion
Motion activate the...

sun rays settle skies
prism shelters diversity -
kids breaking hard bricks

rain drops whet dry soil
scope scoops whirlpools of dry tears -
god should know better

(A Presentiment: two lost Wint souls alone converse,
so mind the grown gap——Longshoreman’s Fall hearse.)

Midnight plus fifteen, the streets come alive,
Spilling tattooed mobs, teeming motion-blurred
From the bars, karate and kung-fu moves in car parks
And upon telephone kiosk phone books.

The Grand Canyon_what a sight
Aerial view a delight
Six passenger plane
Over the canyon strains
Into barf bag said Last Rites  

Inspired by Carolyn Devonshire's contest about vacations

About twenty-five years ago, we went to the...

On a whim, to prove once and for all
I took a beach ball
and placed on it a glass of water—
Please hold your laughter—
And then rolled the ball over,

Anne was an endurance cyclist, 
But in 2011 she ruptured her back, 
Which meant that she did enlist, 
Cauda equine syndrome, her yack. 

A physiotherapist cool by profession,

If I'd known, I would live to this age
I'd taken better care of me
Times when I walk, my hip croaks
At once my knee slips~ cracks

Then my neck pops
Down I flop
Saying
