Long Whiting Poems

Broken Trust, Dying Of Love


Baby, nobody came when I cried out for you
if I were a lawyer maybe I would just sue
if a doctor, would heal my sad heart too
Nobody came baby, when my hot...

Issued paper fibers mirror those of the straw bale,
The waters of the great canal through the morning sail.

In spite Venezia was tied, the chairlift was jostling,
Twisting its way through the small calli in haze whiting....

The Pelican 
such a comical clown
A stranger bird 
I’ve yet to have found
The longest beak
The  largest mouth
Though not too many
Here to be found
St James’ Park London
Where a trio can be seen
A gift from Russia...

Chef 's Winter dishes are simply delicious, not too much oil or cream.

Rich or plain,  taste tested to perfection, tiny portions sometimes steamed

He starts  the day with freshly squeezed orange juice,coffee and toast.

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

For my birthday celebration,
My husband Peter and I,
Wanted to give the pub a miss,
Instead a posh restaurant try.

I dolled up for the occasion,
In a shimmering gown of white.
I felt like a million dollars,
As we...

WAKE UP CALL

Our Navy boom box -
“Reveille Reveille ladies! It’s time to wake up!”
Never laid under covers,
took too long to make the bed.

Talk about a time table!
Never learned to eat so fast -
20 minutes,
no matter...

OCEAN BOTTOM VIEWED-

On that day my soul grew midstream, midstream;
 I threw my Antarctic upon the floor; 
They are perfumed from unseen sunken breams;
 There Venusians underscored treasures;
 Act all that’s from out my heart...

On that day my soul grew midstream, midstream;
I threw my Antarctic upon the floor;
They are perfumed from unseen sunken breams;
There Venusian's underscored treasures;
Take all that’s from out my heart does measures;
Oceans surrounding submissive pleasures;

I heard...

Exiting the Clouds

 

Entering one's Now

How long the traverse
Mountainous obstacles
Seem not of our creation
Yet rock hard impasses appear
Where clear path seemed obvious
Now impassible

The best laid plans...
Swirl amidst the winds of challenge
Icing our tenacity
Whiting-out our vision
Deafening...

When the music stopped 
I could hear you breathing 
I could hear us snoring 
I could hear the cry of coyotes in the distance 
I could hear the whispering trees in the dark
I could hear...

EASY CHEESY AND EASY AS PIE are not really so easy
Peach, pumpkin, plum perfection-Pie
Always Alliteration and Anchovies
Wouldn't work in a good Pie
Banana, coconut, and blueberry cream Pie 
Works well, while whiting and wax won't work...
