corn cob pipe cowboy
showing us huge joy
honest without being coy
not one to provoke or annoy
feeding him Hawaiian poi
eating beans with extra soy
loving him, my big handsome boy
corn cob pipe cowboy full of joy

Ho osservato i volti accigliati nella luce fioca.
Con un tremito nella voce, rispose.
Voglio sposarti», mi disse.
«Desidero lo stesso da te.»
Che allora abbia inizio il nostro viaggio:
io sono la tua donna, tu sei il mio uomo.
Ci siamo baciati;
è sembrato
durare un'eternità.
Noi insieme,
insieme e innamorati
Ho scherzato dicendo che il mio
investimento nell'anello era autentico
Da questo giorno in poi,
desidero che stiamo insieme.
Non voglio un amore a senso unico
dimmi che sarai mio
dimmi che ti importa
Sono innamorato,
così innamorato di te
God made my bed this morning
Of course, I made my bed, but God planned according
God ordains all things, (good or bad, all things)
Yes, even the Drill Sergeant’s inspection to see if my bed springs
(All y’all will know what that means, if you know what I mean)
Does that mean God is evil?
No, He predestines all things and figures in our free will
That’s right, God predestines our free choices
(even when the duvet is not quite poi-fect)
God made my breakfast this morning
Of course I made my own, He provided all things, conforming
He provides all things up to and while, and the continuing
(He sees the seeing and knows the knowing, the end, and the beginning)
So, whatever you do, do unto the Lord
Because He’s in control, so be onboard
As in Pacto Arco Iris, so it is in all God’s covenants
As our God is moving by thwarting Satan’s intents
So, as you go about your day
Have comfort knowing God has planned the way
Even your free choices fit into His plan
For every child and women and every man
Praise the King of saints
Pile fallen coconuts
Pierce shelled core of its meat
Pluck taro roots and boil
Pound roots with honeycomb
Pour in tin cans with lids
Place in a ground oven
Poi Kulolo dessert

It's Christmas in Hawaii tomorrow
And the blue skies be bright with a rainbow
Santa gets in a grass skirt
And a red Aloha shirt
He makes his way from each home's patio
He'll island hop a surfboard and skateboard
And path his gifts free of all disaccord
Perhaps stop at a luau
And devour some native chow
Santa's Hawaii trip was a reward
When Santa returned home to the North Pole
His starved reindeer met him with a drum roll
To each of his dears a dish
... Hawaiian poi and fish
His trip sans charcoal and snow leis role
Sorrows slowly release
internal inflictions to
form poetic mouthpiece
Revealing what's true
Narrating through verse
Expressing your view
Life can immerse
Killing your peace
Let words disperse
Enjoy the heat
Ice laced drinks
Summer's best treat
Catch forty winks
Cherish hammock time
Swinging mind thinks
The sea sublime
Entreats to compete
Swim solo chime
Form: POI
Floccinaucinihilipilification of me
Hurts to the core
About my poetry
He doesn't adore
Interesting lines, humor
Seems to abhor
I hear rumor
See if agree
Stinker or perfumer

[?fläkse?näse?nih?le?pil?f?'kaSH?n]

2nd POI
I composed this poem for the 'Poi-Etry' Contest

In the clouds
Get going Mary
Shine through crowds.
It is dreary
Get going though
Write your story.
Fresh in dew
Get yourself loud
Moments are few.
In tapestries' time
Age we must
Each thread sublime
Mirrors reflect stardust
Great journey thread
Age has wanderlust
All principles fled
Eternity soon chimes
He's there dead
First attempt at POI
Nil Poi!
Nil poi, shove it under there.
Nil Poi, coz we don’t really care.
Nil poi, we are quite elated.
Nil poi, we are vaccinated.
Nil poi, it’s fixed, and it’s done.
Nil poi, but we’re still number one.
Nil poi, you all used our tongue.
Nil poi, with bad diction, bad song.
Nil poi, again Europe’s in tatters.
Nil poi, we win when it matters.
Nil poi, so what’s all the fuss?
Nil poi, you’re nothing without us!
Nil poi, nil poi, nil poi, nil poi,
Nil poi, nil poi, nil poi, nil poi!!!!!

Pirate cat in stealth mode wiggles his joy.
Hunting prey like an eager cat boy.
Rats on the ship were singing ahoy.
Licking their paws in Hawaiian poi.
Three legged cat with his peg leg coy
Fast friends with Pirate King Fauntleroy
Together they chased parrot mascot as toy
Ruffling his feathers, quick to annoy.
The rest of the crew were battling Hanoi
Stealing their treasure of sweet Hawaiian poi.
Pirate cat and Fauntleroy did truly enjoy
Watching the fight from the deck of Ole Roy.
"Banana", that was his name
a mixed breed, all the same
in Hawaii, they are called "Poi"
dogs pronounced as, "Poy"
not as deploy but as in decoy
he is also a male dog, a boy,
as puppies, they are "sire"
breeding, they are for hire
and they are known as a stud,
as a puppy, his name was "Bud"
because he ate bananas we
changed his name, instantly.
He was our pet and not a hunter,
like the other dogs, he is a player,
the other dogs know their stuff,
and you never call their bluff,
Banana can also be not very nice,
he only is that way if you are mice,
Not for breeding, he is just a dog.
"Ili'o" is Hawaiian for a dog,
pronounced "e-LEE-oh",
something good to know.
Now he is up in doggie Heaven,
being with me since I was eleven,
human years, he was 17 years old,
now his heart is eternally gold.
Love you BOY!!! Banana RIP!!!

l'urlo de stelle
eco nella valle
nero
come la prima
sfumatura di rosso
abbracciato
il cielo notturno
sussurro della
brezza blu
solleticare
la sabbia bianca
foaming lusty waves
onde spumeggianti
poi
rejaculated
nel grembo de mare
dove sei ora
l'urlo de stelle
eco nella valle
nero
come la prima
sfumatura di rosso
abbracciato
il cielo notturno
sussurro della
brezza blu
solleticare
la sabbia bianca
foaming lusty waves
onde spumeggianti
poi
rejaculated
nel grembo de mare
dove sei ora
