"Lingering leaves of gold frolic / frolicked in the autumn wind" 
Quote by the sponsor


A crisp chill in the air, not being warmed by the sun. 
I hear rustling, a sure sign that autumn has begun.

"Lingering leaves of gold frolic / frolicked in the autumn wind"
My love of Autumn and its gold leaves will never rescind.

Green turning golden far and wide across the country side.
Autumn’s beauty is truly Mother nature’s glorious pride.

As tangerine and bright ochre leaves, gracefully dance,
The carpet they form as they come to rest will enhance.

The pleasure they bring floating through the crisp air,
A kaleidoscope of colour is forming most everywhere.

Tiny leaves joyfully twisting and turning to do an arabesque,
As if they are performing a choreographed seasonal quest.

As the Autumn wind strengthens the performance takes flight.
Leaves dashing and dancing and spiraling, it’s a wonderful sight.
 
Caught by a whirlwind, small leaves rise and flutter about.
Larger Autumn leaves soar as if with wings, not to be left out.

In the Eye of the Beholder

You are more beautiful than beauty
More lovable than love
More lustrous than the petal of a rose
Livelier than life
More vibrant than the rainbow;

You have more curves
than a meandering stream,
Than a winding road,
More playful than a feather 
swept off by the wind;

Your smile is like a silver lining
on a cloudy day
Your voice like the musical notes
You walk the ballet steps
Your breath like the balmy breeze;

You are a poet’s inspiration 
You are a sculptor’s imagination,
You are my vision
You are the beguiling mirage
You are more enthralling than
canoeing through the grand rapids
More exhilarating than the roller coaster ride.

You are my heartbeats
You are the apple of my eye
You dwell in my dreams
You channel my conscience
You enliven my spirit
You rekindle my hope…
You are the elusive muse of my quest.

                         Oh precious children came for dinner

                           But brought along a vicious sinner

                              A raging virus, now we're ill

                         With fevers, coughs and such a chill

                     Next time I'll make them wear a mask

                             And social distance up to task!

                                And I am sore not funning

                             When I say so are our noses

                             Like disgusting germy hoses!!

My heart tells that I love you, dear
but my brain yells that I should fear
     your valentine quest
     leading to debt crest
so let’s just celebrate sans tear.*

*9th place, "Pickup lines for Valentines Day" Limerick Poetry Writing Premiere Contest; Sponsored by Suzette Richards; judged on 1/29/2024

My divine love-verse dedicated to my LORD and SAVIOUR:
 
Your love** to me, my God, is gift so dear
Along peace, grace and mercy of life's gear...
Midst gratitude mirth
I treasure Your worth
Thus, losing You is what I truly fear.

**I John 4:7-8 - "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love."

Now that the Owl was sleeping Dumpty felt a bit restless, which was hardly surprising considering he was a ghost, he wandered over again to the waters edge, and had a look at the large flagon that the cat had clung onto...it was really big' with a couple of handles 
near the neck, he peered close at it, there was a piece of paper inside, he wondered what it might say, he went  in and unrolled it, it seemed to be all about someone 'escaping from it all' it was signed Joe Maverick..Bermuda ‘hmmm now where had  I heard the name before?’ he thought ‘Oh never matter..' it was not going to help his quest in the slightest it seemed. “I shall go
and look through mails and comments maybe there have been attempts to kill off other nursery rhyme or story book characters? One thing is sure, I shall never give up till I get revenge” he
thought to himself,  some it seemed out there wanted bad things too happen as it were, well it looked like they were going to get their wish, by the time he was finished they would be getting egg all over their face so to speak (bad egg)....!

To know your fate,
Just make a date,
Do not be late,
Here at time's gate.


To know the chime,
Look at the time,
Watch the still mime,
Spin your own rhyme.


To live your quest,
Just do your best,
Love with full fest,
Feel joy spur zest.


To gain a thing,
Just learn to sing,
Be what you bring,
Share each bold fling.


To dare to be,
Look up and see,
Play with fond spree,
Live soul set free.


To be at peace,
Live with plain ease,
When troubles tease,
Brave that harsh lease.


To travel well,
Cast your own spell,
For you can tell,
By how you dwell.

As quasar mixes the starry dust,
a newly formed planet en route’s a must;
new universes revealed beyond black holes
captivating stories are yet to be told.

Tiny newborn sails saturnian seas,
a Venus flyby in Saggittarius is a breeze;
absolute magnitude in glimmer sails on by,
soon new space he will occupy.

Whoops!  Now dodging meteor shower,
a bruise or two won’t slow his power;
he’s on his very own spiritual quest
for new horizons where he will rest.

He’ll take his place amid the fold,
his travel stories yet to be told;
to tinier planets that he will meet,
he’ll even brighten eclipsing binary.

He’ll take his place in man’s Ephemerides,
oh the astrologers he’ll guide with ease;
to alter man’s future by their birth stars,
providing them with fascinating memoirs.

No planet in any galaxy,
will mess with this star’s alchemy.
He’s on a mission, this tiny young one,
his planetary cycle for millennia will run.

When you spy him there in your glass eye,
be sure to shout, “Hello, Goodbye”,
as he races across your galaxy,
you’ll marvel at his pageantry.

Be still my soul and know the truth:
Love makes you whole in body proof.


Be willing now to see the light:
Faith does endow the path of sight.


Be faithful then and find the way:
Hope tells you when to work fond play.


Be hopeful now in your affairs:
Joy works somehow to charge the air.


Be calm of heart when things go wrong:
Love will forge art to make you strong.


Be humble then when ego shouts:
You know not when the light goes out.


Be true and clear to touch each face:
Live with sure cheer that comes from grace.


Be not a judge to plunder hurts:
Learn not to smudge a person's dirt.


Be kind to all who journey here:
Each lives some gall and troubling tears.


Be true to you and live good heart:
Share then your dues as affluence starts.


Be a good friend that sees the good:
Bear blessings grand in praying mood.


Be a bright fire that warms all hearts:
You can inspire a precious start.


Be of good cheer when end comes near:
Be without fear for love lives here.


Be brave and bold to face the task:
Life can be cold if you must ask.


Be sure of this as you live quest:
Love funds a bliss where peace works best.


Live then the code beyond all laws:
Love fits the mode to transcend flaws.

Your silence,
a stillness of alluring patience
seductive in it's resilience,
suspicious magnificence, 
unmatched beauty demanding vigilance
making this man rowdy and restless for your finesse,
distressed by this drama of love's test,

You're the only woman scratching this chest
with passion's raging arrest, nails of sharp zest,
the supreme Queen keeping me raw and hard, my only quest,
I'm confessing you are the best, the most luxuriant caress, my unhesitant request,

I want every feeling you're capable of conceiving Babe,
knowing and revering your eclectic emotions, your unspoken demands,
burning for your paradon and kiss, you will always know I am love in your hands
share with me the fuel of fervent fire, gems be our eyes, together, golden pulse we've made -

Cheer wears a face
So full of grace


We laugh and smile
With fest worthwhile


Share a quick meal
Touch more and feel


Eyes love to stare
Beyond mere cares


The years have flown
Grey hairlines grown


Yet zest lives best
In journey quest


Along the way
Love sparkles play


A simple kiss
Works well deep bliss


So here we go
One with swift flow


Laughter brings sight
To mark things bright


So many years
Of joy and years


We lived through times
Riddled with chimes


All sorts of things
Clear wondering so


Circled the stars
To come so far


Wit and wise pun
Humour stakes run


Now hand-in-hand
Spouse, lover, friend
