Las Trompas or Los Cornos,

memorable one-liners
----------------------------------------
Written By: Sobre El Amor
----------------------------------------
Sassy describes someone who is lively
someone bold
with confidence and displaying a
charmingly fresh attitude
a spirted witty and slightly cheeky Woman, 
that what I have with you.

------------------ las trompas or los cornos,--
We fell in love in  Ole Del Rio
neath ah strawberry moon
we were two lovers
taking chances
singin an Ole Lover's tune
when the music made us happy
we stood to do our thang
bouncin swayin and grooving
while the singer and band
did there thang
we feel in love in Ole del Rio
listening to an Ole Crooner sing

I said something nice
nothing fancy when she
showed her fancy gown
sexy model had me thinkin while
she pranced and promanded around
We fell in love In Ole Del Rio
Neath a Strawberry Moon
the music started playing
folk jumped up like they were
on there honeymoon

Premium Member Hollywood

There are many good people from Hollywood. Hollywood is a working class district of L.A. (1 of 42 districts). Celebs don't live there which includes the Epstein ilk. Bad people are all over the place,  especially the Red States and their people who voted for the bad leaders. There are bad dictators all over the world, repressing the women, not just in America. I've never heard of KKK members in Hollywood, I have in the Maga States. Let's not bundle all people in Hollywood, that is ignorance!

A good Ambassador Hollywood, to the world along with Jazz music, Hollywood movies, with their dazzling musicals, bright comedies, and intense dramas, and Si Fi, has been the dream maker for the world!  Even those working in the movie industry were by and large hard working Americans.  Glamorous actors just a tip of the ice berg.  For those conservatives, they should remember Regan was a product of Hollywood.   Thank you very much.

Dia de Los Muertos

Death comes tomorrow
A short sunset to our day
Don't wait, kiss me now

Los Angeles CA

Hey Black California
It's Irish
Now is your time it says
Only you are the living
Special news letter
If I was really big news
Why?
Why live so?
People are civilized
Capable of amazement or?
Being watched
For being news bigger than?
Answers
Wandering into a world life
Without knowing
Winging it below the completed people
Blocks the learning
Something starts and ends the little topic
If learning the black news

The white girls a business
If funny paper is in
She owns the funnies

Little guess gives big hair gal the shoe
To be run by a lady of the night is?

Not a funny for Irish

Enjoy yourselves black

The movie ladies name is
Jenna can't lose

Now I know as times is easy and is hard

How's saying you knows these shows paying her

Next morning no newspaper to show you black and white

Crime is old and smart
If out the vocabulary then put it back after writing congress article in newspaper

Catalyst California Poem

Behind the times of los Angeles California

It doets
In file 
Creating improv
Of government structure code
Deep in the winde to pause
The slouch is may, or you without silence
The eavesdropping behind the times


Dia De Los Muertos

I come to see you in this gray place.
The place between awake and asleep,
The void between life and death,
I come to see you in this place.

In a few short months the veil will lift.
The gray will be replaced with color and life.
We will be able to visit one another.
I will be waiting for you here.

In this gray place between awake and asleep,
Between life and death.
I will wait for you here,  with Death as my guide,
Until the veil is gone.
To hold you once more...

I will love you in this life and the next. 
Forevermore

Premium Member Tomb

Never had I met you 
Still I know your name,
Because of the notoriety 
Because of the fame

Written in stone
Forever and a day,
Many gone too soon 
Seems to happen that way

Halls of Hollywood memories 
Echo down the tomb ...
In a place of reverie 
Not a place of gloom

Legends of the silver screen 
Lives of cinema and script,
Lying in silent repose
In walls of the crypt

Living on in pictures 
In ghostly black and white, 
Gone but not forgotten 
Under legacy's bright light 

I can leave a flower ...
Can touch your nameplate, 
In life I could never 
Get near one so great.

Premium Member Dia de los Muertos

Dia de Los Muertos
Day of the Dead
Originated by Aztecs
Celebrated in Mexico and Philippines

Aztecs called it Miccaihuitl
Catholics call it All Saints Day and All Souls Day
I call it Day of the Dead
Tribute to our ancestral souls

Honoring those in our family who have died
Keeping their memory alive
We celebrate with music, food and drink
festivals and parades

Women dress as La Catrina
Tall female skeleton who wears fancy dress
And a lavish hat
Originally derived to make fun of the rich

Sugar skulls and salt are placed on the ofrendas
Altars built to honor our loved ones
Marigold petals are there to guide spirits back home
Salt  to purify the visiting souls

November 1st and 2nd
When spirits return home
To spend time with their families
Let’s show them a great time!

                                            Grimy sweaty dusk, 
                                             L.A. hazy horizon.
                                            Steaming torrid lune.

Premium Member Baxter Street Monday

Anti-Poem — “Baxter Street Monday”

me trudging walking
gripping onward forward 
traipsing baxter street monday 
and its steep inclines
going up like a dizzy sparrow
passing vertical merry go rounds 
the sly moulin rouge turnabouts 
that sip spit with maraschino endives 
scanning thighs ripe with hard-ons
the stoner pink boys 
lost in rainbow cul-de-sacs
lost amidst the traffic tirades
the propelling grind of accelerators 
up up and onward everlasting
floating hovering over shy ascensions 
in ravenous echo park 
me scratching grinding like steel death
holding tight the skin wheel
trudging baxter street monday
the morning reality suspensions 
the daily cyclotron of kidney exertions
of ascending footsteps moving skinward 
now racing down baxter street monday
descending and plummeting 
passing vertical merry go rounds 
the sly moulin rouge turnabouts
i see my sista rosa gonzalez
she be screaming down with wet wings
sending love bouquets to my los angeles

Premium Member Ooops, That Scale





     That day, I was on my scale, thought I was fat?
     Till I realized, i was holding two, five pound cats!
 
        Scales are deadly, for women, it is proven true.
        Use a tape measure instead, to be gorgeous you.

    Mens’ weight, seems to move as easily as a cloud.
        While ours seems immovable, like an iron clad shroud.

    My despicable scale was put away in a deep, dark closet.
    I measured my body parts, got thin, so do try it?

         Went from a size sixteen to a size seven?
         Was so grateful and thought I really was in heaven!

    It’s been thirty seven years of pure bliss.
    I think my tape measure deserves a honorable kiss.

         Your fork, must alas, be given a long rest. 
          Leaving the table, and exercise, is a character test!

Premium Member Going To See Honey Sanchez

Anti-Poem— “Going To See Honey Sanchez”

gloria and me we take a yellow taxi from canoga park
we go to see honey sanchez at the olympic on grand
she be the dragon lady on skates she and terri lynch
both of them girls be tough as nails in their ripe beauty
both wearing thunderbird white riding fire and blood 
lighting up the banked track against the texas outlaws
gloria keep telling  shirley hardman she be dead wrong
stop your mean ways shirley girl stop beating on honey
baby she say to me could I get her a soda and peanuts
the crowd be all noisy tonight and I can smell hot dogs
the people here they be rowdy and angry they scream
cuss words eating greasy onion rings and drinking beer 
my gloria she be saying only one skater be her top hero
I says who and she smiles and say it be honey sanchez—
skater dragon lady at 18th and grand in her ripe beauty

Premium Member Todos Los Dias

Ay te quiero,
no matter how I say it;
Todos los dias 
engrossing every sunrise 
and woven in each sunset.

Touch Foot Ball

On Saturday, the L A Rams
Encountered the Monterey Clams
With no and, if, or but
It was open and shut
The Sopranos limped home like lambs!
