A stem sprouts leaves two
Holding cute bud new
Grows free
Unfurls charming hue
Makes a flower blue
Blooms glee
Unframed scene sticks to
Pleased plant, shines with dew
Silky.
Bridge the two banks see
Standing on strong knee
Crossbow
Structure so crafty
Makes closeness lovely
Somehow
Bonding seems to be
River’s sole trustee
To show.
Longing two hearts grow
Desires in spate flow
Find clue
To bloom life nouveau
Paired love’s floral glow
Debut
Dear link two lives know
Living brings rainbow
In view.

George asked for a date,
supposing I’d wait
all day.
That morning at eight
I stood by my gate;
oy vey!
He called and said, “Mate.
I’ll be really late.
OK?”
His mate? I said, “Hey,
your style’s not the way
for me.
I’ll go to the bay
and find my friend Ray.
Then we
on jet skis will play.”
(Ray’s gay I’d not say.
Hee hee.)
Ray’s such a sweet pea.
We laughed with such glee,
then ate
buffet near the sea.
I sure wish that he
were straight!
But some things can’t be;
I stay fancy-free.
That’s fate!
(sure hope I did it right this time. My Virelai "Blue" was not done right)

Rescue parties in despair,
Spot his schooner drifting there
In the coming fog.
Someone heard him shoot a flare;
Naught remains, no hide nor hair,
Of the old seadog.
Fear is etched into the air,
Frantic scribblings make them stare
At his final log:
“Miles from any port or quay,
Sailing on the glassy sea,
I observe this morn
Something taller than a tree -
Wonder what the thing can be!
Suddenly forlorn,
Sweating madly as I see
More than one - in fact ‘tis three -
Massive beasts unshorn.
“Staring at the dreadful sight,
Chest is feeling mighty tight,
Standing on the deck.
Fearsome creatures; will they bite?
Gulping at their awful height,
Watch one crane its neck -
Scary, though ‘tis full daylight.
Will not stand a chance to fight -
Think they plan to wreck…”
For David’s Virelai contest
With crack of first light of dawn
The day's work begins; sleep's gone
Gather food; cook
Aroma fills air, breathe on.
Spices, herb bouquet add-on
Day has great outlook
Just short time to lay eyes on
My poetry notebook write-on
Bible read on
Just as Bible is guidebook
For life, food needs a cookbook
Then meals invite
Reading Bible helps outlook
On life, cookbook gives new look
Or change outright
In life wrong way you may have took
Not too late_change_read handbook
Get it now right
The reward is great as bite
Nutmeg_sugar laced delight
Good baked apple
Simple food, life live right
Change become a guiding light
Be ensample
Eat good food_let soul soar heights
Longevity_inner light
No thorn apples

Revive forth own verve
By stating your swerve
Extolled
Height of straight, deserve
You thrive and observe
Withhold
From the maelstrom, serve
This wicked world's nerve
Remold
Show the strength you hold
Your wings just unfold
God cheers
Fawning dazzling cold
Peace and faith are gold
Calm fears
We are soft-built mold
Bleak tales will be told
Shed tears
Thwart faults from past years
When gray face appears
Conserve
Trawl wise warn from seers
Gold rings in your ears.
Subserve
Life, precious gift dears
From bright life, mind peers
Preserve

Enjoy every day!
Life is meant that way,
rejoice!
Whatever they say,
Just work, rest or play-
our choice
Just take time to pray,
Let God’s Spirit stay,
no noise.
Listen to God’s voice,
Do His will; spread joys,
we should!
Be calmed as turquoise
Bright, nice thought employs
right mood;
Stay free from decoys,
Deal tough things with poise,
exude!
Work as brotherhood,
Throw prides at deep wood
today;
Be always nice…brood
Stored words for brain’s food-
display!
Be honest, be good,
Wear Christ’s Peace as hood
Okay?

Brood- think deeply about something that makes one unhappy
-just a try of this amazing form
Let’s check what we missed
in our to do list:
touch kind.
As a hedonist,
we merely exist,
confined.
Never by love kissed,
dark desires persist;
we’re blind.
Let us bear in mind,
it’s time we refined
our soul.
Lest we fall behind,
release thoughts unkind:
be whole.
Our form’s so designed,
God in heart’s enshrined;
our goal.
Playing our life role,
let love we extol,
assist.
Remain in control,
love has no loophole;
life’s gist.
Love doth love cajole,
reclaim joy fear stole:
bliss mist.

On dappled shore, wind presses
flaming dusk with laced caress,
sugar of wine
the drenched moon of eve blesses
rousing passion’s warm finesse,
mouths brush so fine
heads laying on grass’ tresses
cherishing sighs, air boundless
two souls align
In fluid rush of moon’s climb,
heart-shaped carvings drawn ,enshrined
glitters on sand
drinking potion so divine,
as they whisper tender lines
night stars hold hands;
comes now movement of fate’s signs
time ebbing with true designs
of homage spanned
While flushed skin traces sea’s strands,
he kneels down, meshed eyes expand
and like bold glove,
slips a ring with buoyant plan
oh, her peach arms understand,
deep oath of love
sealing dreams, glazed petals stand;
tide-god nods through light enhanced,
crowned by white dove
David William's Virelai by nette onclaud
In Love, not apart
faith, hope can restart
--in prayer.
Sensing Jesus' Heart...
Presence off the chart
(He's there!)
My poetry art
is barely a start
to share...
How I am aware
of His loving care
--the best.
The King's throne I bear
hands cupped in prayer
--attest
Eucharist affair
Keeps me from despair
--in rest.
At night, my hands rest
crossed over my chest
--my heart.
Blue scapular pressed
of Mary, most blessed
--impart...
my fondest request:
to let not my Guest
depart.

God grants peace* divine
Bearing heaven’s sign
Gives light
Beyond the sunshine
Vanquishing heart’s whine
To fight
Against distress twine
With Scripture guideline
So right.
Serene prayer flight
Along faith-propped might
Brings zest
To worship delight
Of gratitude height
Heart blest
Stays safe day and night
In the Lord’s clear sight
Not stressed.
Midst refreshing rest
For celestial quest
I’m fine
Nestling in Christ’s breast
Toward service crest
Align
Striving for the best
While conquering test
To shine.
*2Thessalonians 3:16 Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
