The peach sky mesmerized the kitten and enticed her to try
So she walked a tightrope, up close into the gorgeous light sky
The clouds turned into fish, giving her a feeling of dinner.
She felt honored and revered, she knew she was a winner.
Easy to forget what you are doing and lose your step,
But this cat was agile and had plenty of adoring pep.
She walked the high wire as well as any ballerina before her.
The onlookers watched with awe; many now adore her.
None realizing she was feral with a very scary life.
She is now a famous feline, and will make a terrific wife.
Many Toms woo her, but she takes time to make up her mind.
She has been through trauma, and needs one who is gentle and kind.
Faced with the monster of doubt, a chill spreads
Deep within me, and my heart feels like lead,
It looms far and wide, a worrisome sight,
Stealing away shine of my inner light.
It stretches its shady shape, sharp and dark,
Filtering fears upon me like a shark,
A tough terrific touch, a monstrous maw,
Subjecting my spirit to nature's claw.
It is doubt in the supreme divine glow,
A muddy river that after rains flow,
Streaming from the darkness of black despair
And feeding on the lack of inner care.
I kneel on the ground, though body may shake,
For courage and new faith, the vows I make,
To defy the monster, face it all way,
And wear my bravery all night and day.
With every breath I make a silent plea
For belief and strength to set my soul free,
To vanquish doubt, to dispel away fear
And hold seams of my secret vision clear.
For beneath all and every inner fright
Lies the hidden gleams of light, shining bright,
A moment to seek grace, to understand
And walk with wilful purpose through the land.
The monster may rage, it may claw and bite,
But within I possess an inner light,
A renewed steady flame, a burning will,
That through trials the monster cannot kill.
As the brute slowly shrinks, its power wanes,
My spirit soars and shakes away the strains,
Those chains of dread that before held me bound,
Now I`m on solid, shining serene ground.
The monster of doubt fades, a distant cry,
Beneath a calm cheerful celestial sky
And I`m reborn, with faith and strength anew,
Having faced the darkness and seen it through.
Anacreontic Verse
Winter has now passed,
tears drip from the sky
grey clouds hide the blue
it’s raining! I cry.
April showers
bring us welcomed rain,
our garden’s thirst
is quenched again.
Vibrant crocuses
of yellow and blue
peer through the soil.
Daffodils dance
in the warm spring breeze,
their golden pollen
may make you sneeze!
Terrific tulips
delight us
bursting with
jewelled colours of
purple, pink and red.
Cherry blossom falls
on a zephyr breeze,
resembling
pretty pink
wedding confetti
falling from the trees.

My pal, Elsie has the biggest plans, grandiose almost, fantastically fun to hear about.
She is a complete delight to be around, and the clothes, hats, and shoes she wears really shout.
She keeps me in stitches for days on end when she flies in with her long-suffering earl.
She is going to start a blog, paint a best-selling canvas, write a novel, and paint a city mural.
Her terrific thoughts, her enormous dreams, her extraordinary plans somewhat set and well-laid.
Hilarity jumps forth when she comes around, to regale us with stories of her latest escapade.
I cannot wait to see her, to find out what she has actually completed this year, all done.
Although it has been rather tough for her to implement or start a project, she is always great fun.
What about your award-winning sculptures I ask her and your paintings, how are they coming along?
I traded those things in for calligraphy, she informed me, but I am writing a terrific love song.
What about your fantasy novel, are there a few completed chapters that perhaps I could read?
Then she throws back her head, laughing prettily from Accomplishment, her well-decorated white steed.
We wave goodbye, knowing we will have this delightful almost identical conversation next year.
It never ceases to amaze me how close to getting started dear Elsie has almost been near.
Her muse and mine hug tightly, because when we were young girls, they were exceedingly close and tight.
Her enthusiasm is exciting, I admire her determination to make her creations perfectly right.
I am not ready, she tells me. Creating a masterpiece is something that takes time.
Maybe next year, she confides because my productions and creations must be awesomely sublime.
Years of incessant planning have not helped Elsie put pen to paper or get started, it is true.
Three husbands, a two hour a week job and a couple of children have prevented her from a glorious follow- through.
Eulogy of Diamond Dee
We were all a bit FASCINATED by the COMPLACENT Diamond Dee.
She maneuvered us like puppets, and I mean all of us, not just some.
Her INVOLVEMENT with men and women was well known in Lee.
Mysterious INTRIGUE paraded with her, said more than one bum.
I am not terrific at IMAGERY but let me try to set the scene.
Evanescent jewels and sequins arrived from an INFATUATION.
Due to her pretending to be bullied by the POIGNANT and the mean.
She was the master of the criminal go-to skill of MANIPULATION.
One thing we all knew about Diamond Dee, and some spoke of it.
Her COMPLACENT attitude was nigh onto self-congratulatory.
Her eulogy was much like her obituary, full of laughter and a bit of wit.
For it was presided over by one of her ex-lovers, my Great Uncle Rory.
My daughter who was then, just about seven.
The sun had just settled softlty in the Pacific.
We were in Ghiradelli Square, a joyful place,as is heaven.
Into an elevator we went so sparkling clean and spiffy terrific!
It was an elevator with walls of shiniest metal.
I pressed the command button, to take us merrily down!
Alas, the brightly lit buttons, did not work as itheu should.
Its tall, chrome doors shut, but the elevatotr refused to move?
How I frowned!!
Aha! But not to fret, I was intelligent enough to recall….
And reassure sweet Elena, that I would find a way out.
With lightning speed, I recalled the phone on the wall.
And so I could call and smoothly we’d be safe and let out!
My heart filled with joy, to that phone, I hustled posthaste.
I prayed, oh, please, let some Angels be very near.
But finding out the panel was dead, my heart sunk to my waist!
Suddenly, a knock on the door, help had arrined, Elena and I
gave three cheers!!

You have had a career that’s been fabulous.
How electrifying you were on stage in Las Vegas.
Popularity came your way all across America.
What a great act you were with your late ex Louis Prima.
You two were nothing short of terrific
when you sang your hit duet of “That Old Black Magic”.
We saw you in some movies, and in television.
In those areas, you were equally a sensation.
For nearly all your life, you have had your way.
I’m so glad you are still with us today.
I thank wikipedia.org online encyclopedia and IMDb.com for information I obtained to write this poem.
The joy they exuded was a delight in the sky
They brought love to the world in the flicker of an eye
We had never seen faeries as beautiful as these six.
I stood there watching, completely transfixed.
What sort of merriment were they bringing our way?
It is only six o’clock, so I guess it will be a fine day!
The flowers were all smiling, looking up at the sky.
They knew it was a terrific day. A rose let out a sigh.
The animals began prancing and frolicking with feeling.
They felt the power of these six, arriving from God’s loving ceiling.
The faeries changed our lives in the most enthusiastic way.
In sixty-eight years, I have never again had such a marvelous day!
He makes himself at home daily as he slinks through the house.
He slinks so stealthily, he can sneak up on man, woman and mouse.
He almost always slinks to the mailbox and gives the mail man a scare.
Dogs in the neighborhood are fearful of him, he has a menacing stare.
My wife had to be accepted by Slinky, or we could not have dated.
Huge effect on my once non-existence love live, cannot be overrated.
I knew right away she was going to work out, when I saw
That Slinky sniffed her and then walked away like Big Lah Dee Dah.
Doesn’t he like me? She asked me, new girlfriend concerned.
She was afraid of the verdict, but I quickly discerned
That Slinky was okay with her being included in life.
For he did not bite claw, or bring out a butcher knife.
So the three of us have made a terrific little home in the woods.
We keep Slinky in cat nip, and he gives us all of his goods.
He uses his litter, and rarely gives anyone a serious ouch.
But we both have learned, that his domain will always be the couch.
Amazing antiquated alluring alligators
Bending ballistic beyond belief barbells
Crushing curious crimson crucial crocodiles
Delighting dark dank daring darling dwarfs
Enormous eager elegant elephants equally excited
Feeling frisky, ferocious, fervently, fanatically fine.
Green gators goading gregarious grievous gargoyles
Hyped up hungry hippos happily hurrying and heading
Into illustrious inlets, ignoring ignorant iguanas.
Jealous jumping jaguars juggle jagged jade jewels,
Kosher kicking kangaroos kill koalas with kindness
Laughing loons languish luxuriously and lightly
Meaningful monkey mascots masticate meaty meatballs
Nevertheless, nefarious needle noses nest in the north.
Opportune opportunists ostracize osprey and ostriches.
Pathetic purple porpoises propose to propel pouting princess.
Queen quickly and querulously questions this
Respectful, responsible, roughnecks readily respond rapidly.
Sadly sensuous swallowtails sing seriously and solemnly.
Taking terrific tubs of time to think
Understanding unilateral Unitarianism
Verifying various variegated varmints who vegetate
While willing whales wish worm water would wander away.
Xavier's ‘Xacting ‘xpecting ‘xtra ‘xams
Young youthful yellow yaps and yips
Zing zanily and zestily into this zealous zebra zoo.
