Long Splashy Poems

What color are you?
You! You! You! You! You! You! I could do this all day. Smirk.
I am not talking about hair color, eye color, or skin color.
I am not talking about teeth color, or freckle...

I was an enthusiastic painter, striving to apply more verve and color,
Like sunshine dreams, of blue-gray days, that couldn't be any duller.

Painting had for long been my passion, but had turned into a career,
Like the...

As told by The "Redoubtable Marmaduke" the fog bog jogging hog


The odd bog dog
Was known as such
Because he lived on a log
By a bog
And everyone thought that was very odd

Now; the odd bog dog who...

I was quite the cunning magician, famed for my illusions and sleight of hand,
Like cool tricks that jade green nature plays, that often we don't understand.

Days were filled with wonder and enchantment, like purple, star...

I run from memories, stained in enough felony
After a failed choreography to budge up new colony
To annul life, yet live the same life pieces harmony
Quick succession of bolding and evanesce jeopardy 
In confusion.

Constantly nudged, freely...

While the waves lash the shores and splash in soft music

The dishes we serve here in this Golden Grain restaurant

Emanate aroma into the nostrils a pungent sweet exclusive

Have you visited this earlier too or how...

Scant animals with their glassy hoped-for eyes
draw near to my crumbling step.
I think they want to sing me something,
carol a Mozart aria perhaps,
but they cannot
so they lift furry eyebrows
shuffle as if to say, ‘we can’t,
but...

Young and single, just got a job in a neighbour town,
Thought I’d buy a flashy car so I could get around,
My boyfriend at the time said that I should get a Camaro,
It was new, orange...

river. gold
liquidcopper sheen & skypulp
mashed upon fatrocked banks 
refracted beams;
reflections.
The kid squeal.
The rowers chirp "hello"
[multiple oar-chasm] we bridge it
with a languid arm-sigh tooing, no fro. Yes, 
the 20th century is over,
and the "Water-Noodle" 
has arrived.

*WHEN IT RAINS*

When ponderous rain slap earth like rocket
We envelope ourselves into big blanket
But others lie on the floor without jacket
With water rolling from the roof into their bucket
There they lie close to their wastebasket

Everybody...

Splidgy splodgy, squishy and squashy
Time to find Dad’s old mackintoshy
Time to jump in the puddles so deep
To splishy and splashy, and cover his feet
In glorious slime and silt from the stream
Making chocolatey coately mud pies...

O, 
how I swoon
in the ruby bliss of your sunset kiss -
your vibrant rays of maturity arouses my fire; 
touching me with urgent rapture,
saturating me 
in sparkles of champagne light - then,
streaming through me in...

Mother Nature...Oh! Blue water,
Oh! Soft Globe...
I’m your slave; I’m your probe,
I’m for you... and for what you hold,
I’m a nature addict, this what I was told,
I like your fresh air...I like your breeze,
I like your...

The river
When we met 
Was splashing 
Both the banks


I was 
A little nervous

I wanted to swim
In case I sank?

The other day
There was a report
In the newspaper
As he was ardently fondling
The pulsating blonde neck and throat
In...

Haunting and haunted, 
These visages with lacy, saponaceous curds
Depending and plummeting, 
Do I on the pebbled porcelaneous integument 
Of the whitish shower floor scrawl. 
I wonder, as frothy masses of foamy, bubbled soap
In the shower traverse mine body and...

Melded with raindrops -
the juiceless earth fruited lusciously
and the roaring lightning pops -
the vehement clouds sparked abundantly.

From time of summer -
for the juvenility they long expected
over the awash field they bopped over -
alike the sweetness...

I understand there is a lawsuit, doc # 666, Neptune vs. Jersey. Apparently, windmills being put in the ocean off the Jersey coast was all done without consultation and approval by the Sea Council...

What do you do when she’s born two months early?
Nothing in place but cute baby clothes
Wishing we could at least kiss her on her nose
While in the incubator she had us in a scurry

Expecting a...

Two drops of water fell from heaven
Unlike any other, they were in love
Holding each other they stayed together
Dreaming of river and deep blue ocean.

It wasn't easy to skip the flower-garden
And ignore appeal of a thirsty...

Rusty colours
Immature eddies
Various swirls by meeting the shallows 
Easy life for birds – paddling and schmoozing
Robust banks discipline the flow

Rapid somewhat move through the narrows
Under river fish playing with the water
Naughty fish playing!
Shallow deposits

Steady talking...

A spent red ball I'm going to sink soon
The artist still engaged in the painting
The ashen sky of this cold afternoon
With my seven hues in a bowl mingling


You have let me fondle your face all...

One slushy day, a Jolly fisher fishes
a wishing well, where he knows splashy fish is.
For Princess Tricia's favourite dish is,
a plate of little squishy fresh whitefishes;
and Tricia gets all she ever wishes.
Too selfy selfish to...

They were shadows
Singing like the sparrows,
They threw some men into sorrows
because they were buried in bottomless burrows.

Dreams cooked in the belly of strains and pains
Stewed and steamed to feed the hungry,
Dreams bigger than life, squeezed...

Blue 
Waves

 stunned by the heavenly turquoise canvass  of tidal moss  fleck swoon and swirl...

beneath the frothy rapids 
   along splashy river shallows, 

   strewn with sunken rocks,
