The Death of Pleasantries

My monocle, please,
or if you please,
my spectacles so
I
can attempt to eye
a book with both irises
and which book
to attack first:
the gigantic book of fashion;
it’s
not a lap animal, vegetable
or otherwise;
and the floral pages -
both have large print,
I think.
Oh, yes,
and speaking in tongues,
that is
the craft of language;
a book (oh, yes, quite funny)
on trees (aren’t they the funny things
that

Pleasantries I’ve seen

I was naked
Who told me I was
I am clothe
I thoughtful a genius
Who told me I am
I don’t understand
Just a mere man

Pleasantries I’ve seen
Abundant yet dreams
Become nightmares, feels like so real

I am clothe in doubts
Trying to figure it out
I am naked
Who told me that I am
I see the snake on the ground
I don’t understand
Why? I believed

Pleasantries of Sleep

pleasantries of sleep
grandson covered head to toe…
meanwhile toss’n turns grandma
open door with light too bright
‘is the temperature just right.’

Pleasantries and Pleasure

Watch people go about their day
  What pleasant things they say: 
Mutter, grumble, moan and gripe
  Curse and condemn, carp and snipe

Something to prove, on the run, in the groove
  Going nowhere fast, see ‘em move 
Life’s delights make no impression
  Pleasures lost ~ to incomprehension

Pleasantries of Spring

Smell of fresh-mown grass 
Twinkling stars greet dusk’s twilight 
Crickets chirp loudly

Pleasantries In the Garden

PLEASANTRIES IN THE GARDEN

how pleasant old woman...
he gently pulls her walker
on pieces of broken stone —
a path into the shaded woods.

how pleasant in conversation,
slowly sipping the afternoon.
the path leading to the koi pond —
kin exhale onto a benevolent bench.

how pleasant of first contact
inside the bonsai gate, the flora
...the mini woods with fairies,
fostered with tea bag

Darkness Grows In the Garden of Pleasantries

DARKNESS GROWS IN THE GARDEN OF PLEASANTRIES 

Meandering through the garden of pleasantries,
did you sense, the breathless pant of trees,
or hear, the violin seduction, of Cupid’s sentries,
or pierce the eyes, the blossom spread of luxuries?

Do tell of sandals, chains and locks lost in shrubberies!

O turtle doves, between your teeth, insolent mulberries.
Too soon succumbed to satin

Pleasantries of Life

Bright blue summer skies,
Lush forests and mountain air,
Pleasantries of life,
Yet I need you, else they are
Vacant experiences
