Each summer I sunbathe quite nude
Onlookers gasp, they think it’s rude
Cos I'll open my thighs
To deter pesky flies
I'm thankful my spouse is no prude!

They inhale the poisonous substance,
adduction had no power over resistance;
their brain's responsiveness is too slow:
look at them: their glance is so mellow!
This is the offspring of the floating potheads,
they renounce everything that means strides;
they sit in a relaxed pose with mindless eyes:
soldiers fight the wars, while they enjoy puffs. "
Vacant glances and sunken cheeks stir disgust,
their veins must be fed with drugs, not nutrients;
don't they stretch out that bony hand to collect
a meager sum not enough to buy Ecstasy pills?
Onlookers speed by, not expressing human apathy
for the useless ones who display a state of misery,
but who are the offspring of the floating potheads?
Friends, strangers, the homeless, and the Diddies!

Petrified zombies march
past displays of potato starch
Onlookers stop to gape
at what’s depicted on their capes
The clue connecting all this
floats upside down in the abyss

Dante Gabriel Rosetti immortalized his lovers:
the strong, graceful and voluptuous gentlewomen
who could have been countesses and baronesses.
Indeed, their beauty would stand the test of time.
He shared their innate glamour with the world
but kept for himself the spell of their smile.
One by one voluptuous enchantress with eyes like daggers
warned onlookers that beauty was hardly an open invitation.

On her front and back pair of wings are found many a natural tattoo
like inkblots, they form perfect mirror images, that you love to view
Her lifting of wings in a figure-eight pattern, our spirits it does renew
Trying to please the onlookers, she forgets the pains she goes through

Unbridled downpour of laughter,
flooded frizzy her hair will plaster.
Rays splash from within.
She embraces impeccable quirks,
fully aware of exactly what works.
Grin and rock that safety pin.
With eyes reflecting diamond skies
when she laughs she always cries.
Such charm should be a sin.
Beautiful in such an atypical way,
onlookers flock to her without delay.
A freckled glow on supple skin.
100 % chance when that giggle forms,
there’s a forecast of sunshine storms.
That’s how she’s always been.

AI as soldiers
We see them walking naked through the town’s square, and organs not needed for the time being, the onlookers are not offended but worried about the strident gates of the new being walking like a soldier in a merciless army killing creatures big and small that have blood and have the sense of smelling the roses and is capable of falling in love and admire a full moon their overlord is a person dressed in a half-length black coat, who has the chip that can switch off the monstrous development into junk science an adolescent boy’s dream of tomorrow.

soma nectar drips down our throat
along the frontal energy grid axis
the elixir swirls in toroidal heart
ushering deep spatial peace
onlookers within join the dance
in focus are crown and third eye
with the Bindu point having a say
all held erect by our luminous spine
poised thus in thought rested vibrance
with our mood and mode celebratory
with all doings done by God Himself
we too thus become the all-that-is

The ship sails out to the sea
From the beach the onlookers may spot
Leaning on the rails of the quay
How the ship soon turns to a dot
For the passengers looking back
The shore soon becomes a line
In a back view from the deck
No details an eye can define
Soon the ship disappears from sight
And the shore disappears too
And the view seen from both sides
Is the sea under skies of blue.

The fawn arrived at one o’clock on a sunny Sunday
In the middle of Australia, where her mother had consumed bits of hay
The birth was easy, onlookers were silent, loving their deer
This fawn, named Sassy, was glad she was born in the meadow here
Some deer are born into an anxious, hunter’s kind of world, but not she.
With confidence, she began to nurse, feeling happy to be Twitchy’s baby.
If I were a deer, I would want to be this one for sure.
The people who raise her herd have hearts that are pure.

Only wise when awake
Outgoing like the wind
Opposed to nothing small
Ousts mice very quickly
Ornery predators
Outstanding birds indeed
Onlookers are enthralled

The Tibetan Queen Beauty
in her red and velvet dress
and her dark silky hair
for the waist it does caress.
She dances and she sways
to the flutes and the drums
she entrances all onlookers
with red lips and her hums.
Her creamy white skin glows
through the veil on her face
her allure she does not know
as she quickens up her pace.
The Tibetan Queen Beauty
unaware of her charm
she dances in all innocence
no fear or alarm.
In her own sensual world
she just wants to move and dance
As the stars sprinkle down
on her world , that we all glance.
The Tibetan Queen Beauty
is there for all to see
and our mind is the eyes
and the dreamworld,
that is me.

It was a Christmas outdoor Pageant
It was the performance of the Nativity scene
There was a Camel who was mean
The Camel didn’t want to cooperate nor associate
He went berserk and went wanted to attack all the onlookers
Suddenly without delay, the Camel observed the Doll baby Jesus
In the manger
An immediate pause took effect
To everyone’s surprise, the Camel kneeled to the manger
The Camel wouldn’t move and it was as if the baby Jesus informed the Camel to be still and calm
After a while, the Camel responded it was ready and it was like nothing ever happened
The Christmas pageant continued without any further problems
I and everyone witnessed this not being part of the show
It goes to show, miracles do happen
A camel can become humble
Warm heart can take effect
Holiday treat
Holiday breezes in the air
A true story beyond compare.

Some things are hereditary.
Not necessarily from parents or grandparents,
You can inherit them from elements.
Look at the Earth!
So shy and recluse and introvert
For the last few months of Fall and Winter
Is now romping on the ramp
In exotic costumes
Walking asymptotically
Assured of her grace
Wafting onlookers to the bourns of ecstasy!
On her trail
Even heavens grow goosebumps
For having watched her
Without batting an eyelid!
