Long Regales Poems

Fork git about spooner hiz ham

And join (singing the words 
in the next paragraph) whether alone
in a traffic jam
basting, cooking, then eating a lamb
prepared by thee missus
a superb culinary madam.

The noblemen control the pen, indeed they own the farm,
but nonetheless exude finesse (and need I mention charm?)
with revenue to sate the few, exulting arm in arm;
for all the rest, they wish the best and...

Hair gets grey, withers he but seldom wise 
To know why nothing thrills him more than lies, 
Why man’s pen portrays obscure truths in grey, 
Why his mind’s chisel carves out misty clout 
So grotesque...

With the sun beaming down
It’s Glasto at its very best

The lure of untainted flower,
Its sweet perfume encased in a whorl.
Alas! That which I await is scarce.
This memory will be banished tomorrow.
Tomorrow ,

Peace or violence, with humans you never know,
When love will sprout or when seeds of hatred will be sown,
When in humanity & compassion people may find satiety,
Or when the lust to kill will choke up...

Poetry reveals, enlightens, consoles
Holding reflecting mirrors up to our souls,
Showing what we might not otherwise see
Suggests how our lives might better be
Poetry instructs, refreshes, and amuses,
Often fascinates; sometimes confuses.

Poetry blends the colors of our experiences

But a commitment is made in marriage.

fiery sunny days, 
or mellow  twilights.

I hear the sounds of music
when the cock...

On island resort
Fun greets cheer
Where fancy casts lot


Sea of crowd
Swirl of new faces
Noise floats loud
Happy new traces

Wonder seeds gaudy
Sensuous styles
Eclectic fancy


Joy streams fest
Decor in sure flair
Seize fond zest
In wedding affair

Out here, wild rhubarb grows free,
Bitter beauty escapes designs by premiers
And presidents,
Red-veined leaves untouched by the
Denizens of this desert.
Morality endures despite the sins
Of man, mere miles away.
Asleep at last, my small pond releases
Crawlers, bent on...

A mother’s tears are born of love
her baby, soft and new
and with each touch, her joy regales
her eyes, a misty blue
