So enchanted was Sun by Queen Sea
as he sat near some clouds high above
he began sliding down stealthily
till he touched the dark face of his love.
Then Sir Sky, so aroused by Sea’s hue,
began melting along with Sun’s rays,
and by now, Sun was dipping into
the blue depths of Queen Sea. In a daze,
Sky gazed down, and with ruddishness blushed!
Then a third lover looked on the face
of Queen Sea. Feeling thrilled, Night then brushed
rosy heavens with deep purple lace.
Night embraced lovely Sea! Sun was gone.
And again, Sky with envy looked on.

"Penny Paramours"
tossed copper penny into wishing well
tingling sound splashing into water of dreams
envisioned eagerly a vivid magic spell
creating cherished visual delight in themes.
tingling sound splashing into water of dreams
radiate emotions as penny cascades
creating cherised visual delight in themes
bright as sunbeams in orange marmalade.
radiate emotions as penny cascades
vibrant romance escalates to love
bright as sunbeams in orange marmalade
two hearts entwine to pair of turtledoves.
vibrant romance escalates to love
tossed copper penny into wishing well
two hearts entwine to pair of turtledoves
envisioned eagerly as vivid magic spell.
