Lory Poems

June Bug

My little cousin, Junior, lost his mom when she was only 39 and he was 9. It was such a devastating time for him – her pet name for Junior was “June Bug”


Junior had a beautiful mom
Unlike any other
Never knew a heart so calm
Ever the amazing mother!

Blessed by her light, her sacrifice
Unending grace beyond a price
Glory to God for love so nice!

An Evanescent Life - Xaxa Sonnet

Our life is as evanescent as the 
trumpet flower of the morning glory. 
The merest chapter in the history 
of mankind’s ever compelling story. 
Various serendipitous ramblings 
ultimately contingent ‘on quarry; 
retold to captive audience in tones 
melodious as silver-tongued lory.
Redolent of an evening-scented stock, 
with a crown of wispy hair as hoary, 
we insist to recount all endeavours 
in its minute shocking details: gory. 
An experience that's unsavoury – 
remnants that cross river Styx in dory.

Poetic form: XAXA Sonnet. See my article, Introducing Three New Sonnet Forms, here on PS for more details. Also, a 'Summary of Metres' is depicted.

The Withering Warrior

D  irections of our lives seem futile and our hearts obstructed.
E  very person, every woman, every child, every
M  an has lost the freedom that was promised - now corrupted,
O  bliterated by those whose rigid rules destroy our memories
C  asting our will, our dreams, our freedom aside 
R  elinquishing our growth as a nation to thrive freely.
A  fghanistan you lay like the wounded warrior that lied
C  alling out “I can no longer fight, I must hide” for me to be.
Y  ears have come and gone too long, as our history is no longer the prize.


G  lory to god to protect our children as they live with tyrants,
O  ligarchs and kings that take food from their mouths.
N  othing under our sun will shine in this moment of violence
E  xcept silver bullets shot with hate to scare our souls to bow

Where Do We Put Skat-A-Lory

I was trying to rhyme the fun word category

When a head and a hat became a hat-a-story.

Suddenly a gentle lad was a grat-a-Cory.

And falling on his nose made a good flat-a-nory.

So is skat-a-lory in  another category?

Wheels of Marbles

Wheels of Marbles

Your mind- a box,
box on wheels
of marbles
to gallop in
the world of 
imagination.

You canter on 
these imaginative 
marbles like 
hurting words
of your poems.

O’,cruel marbles
ride him to 
the sanctum- woods
to see- how lorikeet waits
for her lory
to suck the nectar
from his beak !
