A lady friend of mine inadvertently substituted
the letter 'v' occasionally for the correct spelling,
suddenly the word 'nape' became 'vape' which at least
I found less predictable and stopped people getting 'neck.'
'Vow are you today?' she might ask, I would say, 'Vine!'
I remember the gendarme from 'Allo, Allo,
who would say: 'Gude moaning,' along with others,
together, it would probably have been, 'a bravo new vorld.'
Pop songs were a riot - 'Bridge Over Vubbled Waters,'
'It Must Have Been Vove' and 'Vinner Takes It All;'
some almost sounded right - Simon's, The Sounds Of Vilence,'
have you heard the latest - Whitney, The Vatest Love Of All.'
Bonnie Tyler was the classic, case of double-take,
in fact, she would say it was: 'A Total Eclipse Of The Vart.'
...Even worse as his youngest grew bigger
he noticed things that had him quite alarmed,
the kid had blue eyes, Whitney’s had been brown,
his were brown too, he could not understand,
his facial features were not like Jerry’s,
he felt things he did not want to believe.
Jerry ignored it as long as he could,
but that dark thoughts just kept building in his head,
not long after his youngest had turned five,
to a doctor the young child was lead,
“Just for a check-up,”Jerry told the lad,
hoping against hopes the results weren’t bad.
But when it came back several weeks later
it became clear the youngest wasn’t his,
he knew that it must be Alan Price,
what other man would Whitney have lain with?
He told not the kid, that would be a crime,
but inside resentment burning in his mind.
He raged at his wife for betraying him,
and Alan Price for destroying a home,
raged at the universe for taking them,
the objects of his vengeance now were gone,
like his wife before, he stared to drink,
and as time went on even more did think.
He’d known of his wife divorcing Alan
back before they had gotten together,
thinking from her place, seeing it all a hoax,
helped him too see the thing all the better,
to be torn between two loves, both alive,
he could see the confusion born inside.
And thinking of Alan, smeared as he was,
feeling so desperate he’d take his own life,
had Jerry been there, and feeling like that,
would he turn down a moment that felt right?
When half the world thought you guilty of rape…
all based on a lie, ruined by such hate…
But understanding only goes so far,
and Jerry needed an object for rage,
this started with a false accusation,
that Jesse Malinche maliciously made,
had that lying not started this all
then none of them would’ve faced such a fall.
Jerry had never been a big gun guy,
in fact most would’ve called him bleeding heart,
but one day he walked into a gun store,
he had no record, or crime he’d had no part,
so there was no reason to stop the sale,
no reason to suspect that he would assail.
That night gunshots were heard at Jesse’s house,
the police came, saw him on the front step,
mumbling madly, his mind clearly gone,
his hands with blood were stained red, and quite wet.
They took him away, found Jesse inside,
dead in her bedroom, with glazed, waxy eyes…
CONCLUDES IN PART VI.
~Beautiful Sunrise~
( Whitney Duet )
Sunrise shines
Appears again
Spreads around
Cover mountains
Sea, above
Clouds softly pass
A band of seagulls fly high.
The air's cool
And the sun's warm
Delightful
Wonderful spring
Warms my heart
Songbirds sings
His love shines upon my face.

Thinking out loud, I thought our love was forever,
Stay with me darling, and just hold me for all night;
I have nothing, just memories to remember,
I will always love you, though you are out of sight.
Stay with me darling, and just hold me- for all night,
Angel, sad you died and flew up like a feather;
I will always love you, though, you are out of sight,
Where does my heart beat now- in the rain and thunder.
Angel- sad you died and flew up like a feather,
Dance with my father, oh, my dad would hold me tight;
Where does my heart beat now (in the rain and thunder),
My heart will go on, forever into the light.
Dance with my father- oh my dad, would hold me tight,
Jesus take the wheel, oh can you hear my prayer
My heart will go on- forever- into the light,
I'll be seeing you, in my dreams now and ever.
Jesus take the wheel- can you hear my prayer,
I have nothing, just memories of you to remember;
I'll be seeing you- in my dreams, now and ever,
Thinking out loud, I thought- our love was forever.

(Sung To The Song "I Will Always Love You" By Whitney Houston...From the film..The Bodyguard)...(1992)
If you do stay
You'll be tempting me to your way
In the bin you now go
I can't risk having you here everyday
Coz I will want to eat you
I will want to taste you
You
My biscuit you
Mmmmmm
Loaded with calories
And the fat thighs given to me
So goodbye
I won't cry
Plus my weight plays havoc with my knees
Coz I will want to bite you
I will want to nibble you
You
You could stay if fat free
And I lost all the weight you gave to me
And hadn't given me chin number three
I favoured you, but now set myself free
And I will always love you
Your soft chocolate goo
Your brown crumbly crumb base
Your sweet biscuit round face
Your taste that I still crave
Each small crumb I would not waste
My
Biscuit, I miss you
I'll always
I'll always want you.

When I am scared and all alone
I close my eyes and think of you
I see your smile and dark brown eyes
You ease my fears and calm the tides
You oil my parts
Cause I get rusty
But I promised to be a well oiled machine
Just trust me
Moments like this get me mushy
You're the person I need and the one who is there
I have you right now
And it doesn't seem fair
It doesn’t feel real
I’m a little man
But being around you makes me feel like a man of Steel
And If I lost everything tomorrow
I wouldn’t want any Pity
An Apple Juice case of 50
But most important I would want Whitney
Most importantly I want Whitney
When I am lost and lose my mind
I close my eyes and think of you
I feel your touch upon my hand
And you turn dark days to baby blue
You lead me home all safe and sound
And to my life some days you are the superglue
And on the days I’ve been hit by a Subaru
You help cover every cough
And bless every one of my achoo’s
And in these 4 and a half years
I have grew
I have grown
I’m am grown
I want you to be mines forever
And a marriage license would make that set and stone
And it brings tears to my eyes
Because 5 years ago when I put your number in my phone
I never thought
You would be the one I think of when I think of home
And If I lost everything tomorrow
I wouldn’t want any Pity
A toilet to flush all my pissies
But most important I would want Whitney
Most importantly I want Whitney
~Heavenly Father~
(Double Whitney)

May love and

and our hearts
today and each

laughter and joy
adorn our souls with your blessings.

It was a hot summer
It was a lonely summer.
In many ways it was
Really a sad summer.
Mother with a new baby,
Dad without a job,
First summer in Connecticut,
Far away from family,
Far away from friends,
Far away from the familiar.
Nine years old and in a
Strange new town with
No friends, no context.
Our big old gray-shingled
Three-story rental was
Beside an alley behind
Stores on the main street,
High hedge of lilacs between.
Firehouse on the other side,
Bar across the street.
I learned the main street.
The little kosher market with the
Wonderful generous owner
Who gave my mother credit
When there was no money.
The candy store where
I watched candy being made.
The flower shop, the bakery,
And, best of all, just beyond,
The Brock-Hall Dairy.
Even though we were in town,
Behind the retail dairy store
Was the dairy farm itself,
The tall barns with the cows,
The sweet-smelling hay,
The smell of country.
I could spend hours there
Petting the big, gentle cows
Watching the milking.
Other times I’d walk down
Putnam Street from Whitney Avenue,
From our house past blocks
Of houses, then the fenced and
Wooded water department land.
A half mile or more and
I would come to the farms with
Summer farm stands where
We bought strawberries
And fresh vegetables.
I wasn’t always lonely
Just because I was alone.
I was more lonely when I
Was left out of things at school
Because I was shy and different.

The Clarity Pyramid is a poetry form designed and constructed by Jerry P. Quinn, consisting of two triplets and a single line (7 lines in all). Usually, this poem is center aligned when displayed.
The first triplet has 1, 2, and 3 syllables. The title of the poem is the one-syllable word of the first triplet, which is displayed in all capital letters. This line is followed by a two-syllable line, and then a three-syllable line, both of which clarify the definition of the poem, or are synonyms for the title.
The second triplet has 5, 6, and 7 syllables. Its design is based around a life event or memory contained within the triplet which helps give a poetic view or outlook on the first line (title).
The last line is 8 syllables, and is in quotations as this line contains a quote that defines the first word, which is the Title.
