Tuxiwoo
and Cheriboo
kissed pink noses
amid the posies
of magic dreams
cast by moonbeams.
On the prowl
for guinea fowl
stalked a mate
matted and late.
His name was Mouser
a Bond cat Scouser.
Posey and Shirley two bad men I once knew
Bar room brawlers and stinkers these two
might had made a millionaire
had I told about this pair
Because this was way before boy named Sue

scarlet leaves scatter
the wind in a jealous huff
push them to the ground
He was one of the poets featured
in "Featured Poets" of the week
and when I read his writing
it was as though I heard him speak.
So I chose a link to follow him
reading every poem he wrote
He didn't disappoint me and
I loved each word he spoke.
As a 'newbie' to this gathering
of wordsmiths round the sphere
I chose him as 'first favorite'
of poets I could follow here.
But the first thing that I noticed
was the last poems listed here
he hadn't written anything
for much more than a year.
I admit my heart was saddened
as a first thought drifted in
what if I was too late to follow
my new favorite and his pen?
I'm smart enough -sure old enough
to know when something's wrong
A poet writes until the end
only death can stop his song.
I base this on the note he wrote
in the next to his last poem
"I'm writing this as tribute to the servers
in my Assisted Living home."
Perhaps I'm wrong in assuming
that I found him much too late
and if I wish to follow him
I'll have to meet him at The Gate.
The rhymes of golden times
pour forth of golden minds
plagiarisms
exorcisms
demons of modern times
Tattered jeans comfort
Morning mental haze
Sensual pulses stimulate
Smells don't deter
Sex, food and laughter
Keep it simply rational
