Crenelated Crimson
In deep crenelated crimson,
Autumn arrives in regal robes.
Her boisterous blue burgundy
surging with violent carmine.
Autumn arrives in regal robes
carpeting the earth with fractured
parquet of mismatched, misshaped shards-
a luscious ramollescence.
Her boisterous blue burgundy
cape blusters with bolstered boldness
as she whips the wind to climax
and She reigns as queen for the day.
Surging with violent carmine,
capped rivers rage with

New Year Media Noche - the Retourne
More than the grand fireworks display,
above chart-topper music blast;
What is the highlight of this night -
The Media Noche, New Year’s toast.
Above chart-topper music blast,
stay still awhile, to breathe our thanks;
A farewell to the year that was
and welcome one - now upon us.
What is the highlight of this night -
Carousing, whole night rejoicing?
Babe year pushing rudely

Shall We Retourne
Shall we retourne now to China
Celebrate this coming new year
To watch fire crackers and dragons
Spring festival season to cheer
Celebrate this coming new year
In fantastic Chinese style
Dance with farmers at temple fairs
Year of the monkey lets go wild
To watch fire crackers and dragons
Would surely be an awesome scene
Hanging red lanterns in the park
In the rich

An American Thanksgiving Retourne
Plans are made and family gather
by land or air, back to their roots.
Excitement builds; home is in view!
Across the nation, what great feasts!
By land or air, back to their roots
many have traveled; some have not!
Some, with dread, come out of duty,
but many others come with smiles.
Excitement builds; home is in view.
Kids at last can see

Shall We Retourne
The best wordage perfect for use
Is the time most enjoyable
Explicit to no race nor tribe
But patterned to gladden all hearts
Is the time most enjoyable
With unique attributes so rare
Backed up with the message of hope
So distinct that others cant give
Explicit to no race nor tribe
With its limitless benefits
Including such as salvation
So Precious yet made generous
But patterned

Christmas Eve Retourne
How blessed I feel this Christmas Eve
beneath a moonlit winter sky
as lights ignite to mimic stars
while snowflakes melt into our skin.
Beneath a moonlit winter sky
where footprints vanish instantly
from pathways paved with silver snow,
the waning wind breathes quiet sighs.
As lights ignite to mimic stars
on trees that blend into the sky,
they cling with incandescent

New Years Eve-Retourne Poem
"Shall We Retourne Contest
French Retourne Poem
Sponsor: Debbie Guzzi
One night, holiday, New Years Eve,
The big ball drops down in Times Square,
Such a big crowd, hard to believe,
"Happy New Year" is then declared.
Wow, isn't Time Square just lovely?
Promises of resolutions,
New York always kept a big flare,
Until the midnight conclusion.
With many people all around,
Drifts of snow through out

Veterans Day - a Retourne
We celebrate our veterans,
on November the eleventh.
In honor of their great service,
we show our appreciation.
On November the eleventh,
a memorial will be held
at Arlington, to place a wreath,
to honor our fallen heroes.
In honor of their great service,
flags will fly and anthems will play.
Patriotism rules the day,
to laud the bravest of the brave.
We show our appreciation,
for the

A Mermaid and Three Fishermen - Retourne Form
(Retourne is a French poetry form wherein repetition is used. It consists
of four quatrains (four-line stanzas), with each line having eight syllables. The trick
is though that the first stanza's second line must also be the second stanza's first
line, the first stanza's third line is the third stanza's first, and the first stanza's

Secret of Lips-- Retourne
The moonbeam wears its glittered thread,
while stars lift evening's fine sarong
a trance ascends far overhead
moist kisses fondling a raw song
While stars lift evening's fine sarong
in secrets flushed …dark turns to light
when hungry lips meet to adorn
a fragrant tryst of soul’s birthright
A trance ascends far overhead
to drape clandestine hours…winds tease,
pouring a thirst on mouths that spread
dusk

Quench This Fire, a Retourne By Ronald S Porter
Hold me like you'll never let go;
love me, each time, as if the first.
Shake me and quake me, slake my thirst
Quench this fire-My desire.
Love me each time, as if the first;
relearn my flesh, again, anew.
Discover new ways to excite me;
uncover passion's mystery.
Shake me and quake me; slake my thirst.
Give me nectar; let me drink deep-
'til

He Touches My Soul (French Retourne)
His heart reached out to touch my soul
Resonating warmth fills my heart
His eyes are as black pools of gold
Handsome ~ statuesque~ work of art
Resonating warmth fills my heart
The passion flows from deep within
Our mirrors of the soul are locked,
A genteel kiss cannot be sin
His eyes are as black pools of gold.
My heart
