Are not Irish Eyes
always smiling?
IN the Blamey
at the stone – at the family
pub, celebrating life’s cheering,
brawling, grinning, deeply etching
proud ethnic tone – in the
lilt of his sweet tenor; even in
the brave sorrows, those many fallen
heroes of war both near and far --
blue as the deepest sky,
the even deeper tears,
the royal azures of our stars --
surely eyes are brightly
smiling, for no stouter
hearts have times born – in the
darling twinkles, that steal
hearts blissfully away, merrily along –
where the lass I kissed in the meadow, the
sweet child that comes to me
her giggling shamrock song --
allow those eyes forever shine!
Let such hearts lift a glass
give fond toast and riotously play --
God cherishes His brawny Irish
Even in heaven, all are Irish today.

I should like to take Bitter Rattles
As in their own right Brazen battles …
Intensely, The Speaker is flowing,
Whether or not with eyes glowing;
Also riotously, he is thinking
And as riotously blinking,
A nearby child to start yellowing
And into its shell burrowing;
Panicked sows not farrowing,
For as long as he isn’t mellowing
And down issues narrowing,
His forehead oddly furrowing …
Visibly, it is one drying up,
The Badly Thirsty with a glass cup.

Our deaf and dumb pilot,
Whose path-finding guts we haven’t got,
Took us to the sinister spot,
Where would be found a fearsome pot
And the littlest cot,
With baby spirits like a big dot,
Still seeming through and through a zygote,
Some on the cot happily choosing to squat,
A handful with their eyes chasing a far-off yacht
And the rest riotously dead, ready to rot!
And all these did my belly churn
And our hearts burn
And a Roger resurrect his trust in incense and urn
I, swearing never again to a mystery turn.

This day takes off, refreshingly
Drifting in umber humility
Mewling riotously, in cheer
While, reap colors squint near
Shockingly in shades of pink clear
Evening advances in bliss upon
From that point on
The night moon
Sparkles in splendid, yellow radiate
As dusk settles over sky precipitate
The metaphorical night fell upon us
She was loaded up with adoration fuss
Warm emotions gushed inside me
I spilled out my kind gestures free
On her excellence aplenty
She sparkled like the sun guarantee
A most moving entry
Of energy and intensity
To fill the part
Of affection in my heart

they've catered to crowds riotously angry
and brimming red hatted stadiums
but for wee places of worship
they're nailed shut with bullchit
it was never about safety, but ratings

Much admired, long awaited,
A month of Spring celebrated
Yearly with colourful display.
The bursting blooms of May,
Hastening winter to go;
Erase memories of snow.
May will appear
On time, and make it clear
Nature knows when best
To emerge from seasonal rest.
Hopefully her appearance
Furthers the advance
Of winter’s demise.
Really, it’s no surprise
Spring can impact
People. Some act
Riotously, as the sun
Incites them to have fun!
New lambs are seen
Gambolling. A scene,
Beloved everywhere.
Love is in the air,
Once May arrives.
Soon new growth thrives:
Sunshine strengthens
Our resolve, as days lengthen.
May a month much anticipated:
Summer pleasures now awaited.
Rhymer. May 1st, 2016.

A framed pizza cannot be described as a Mohawk hairstyle in a salon. For if an iron tumbles into a salad bar then ionised tomatoes could become very afraid. Such is the agreeable format for a lettuce leaf. Radiant radishes ridiculing rind. And a dip. And no mayonnaise as it tends to giggle as it is poured. Oh dear. Such travesty in a dish. Wow. If flippers eat kippers then grippers must be dippers. Oh bow to the four sided dog as pyramids could swim through coffee. A collie on a mission is an am or a pm and wires are never disclosed in a tentative tent. Undress then. Wow. How rather entertaining to peel in authenticity a potatoe to place in oiled ceramic bake. Oooh seal deal. Caucuses riotously laughter from the original reporting. And a dip dab do. Tuning. Posturing penguins pointing proudly. Lemon juice on a bicycle chain is a great deity to a hawk in a cradle.sing a song then. La la la. Hahahaha jeopardy jingling. Hahahaha I am a peanut hahahaha you are a door key hahahaha and now we slide. Wow. Xxxx conversationalist. Z.

I suppose it is not for me to say
if I am truly,
holy polycultural,
if I have given sufficient sway and swag
to ecological and eco-normic We.
My redemptive measure,
merit follows cooperatively healthy design,
deep creation,
consumption balancing nutrient production standards,
decomposition harmonizing regenerating practice,
not polycultural perfection,
but permacultural Climax Community intention.
Life gardens.
Some are messy and richly fruitful,
riotously joyful,
revolutionary fertile
wild voice sanghas.
Some are orderly marching
toward their own future's demise.
Most are more and less happily/healthily
somewhere in between.
Life gardens yang and yin,
out and inside
seeding back and forth across time's life-death boundary,
if here now
then not here tomorrow
outside memories still incarnating,
forming and dysfunctioning,
decaying and recaying,
make-haying while Earth's light shines bravely on
blending polycultured beauty dreams
into gracefully encultured explication,
give power and take light.

The sidewalk wasn't yet laid.
Voracious weeds and insidious
grass swallowed up blossoms,
choked life from their roots.
Flowers wilted in the sun,
withered and turned black,
dried brittle to the touch.
My soul shriveled in unison
I placed rocks along the path.
Grass roots crept around and
beneath rocks, seizing my space,
ignored bare patches on the
lawn, left begging for cover.
Last summer, sidewalk in place,
flowers grew riotously
between concrete and brick,
thumbed their pretty noses
at enemies beyond the barrier.
My soul flourished joyfully.

Instantly, what is this?
Call the shos, make your bets!
These things come slowly,
over a long time, not "instantly",
I don't like games eih an obvious winner,
Nor magic tricks with no prestige
It's no fair to the audience
Nor the innocent volunteer
Who opened your act with hope;
Hope your show would tun out wonderfully,
Enamoured with flashing hands and flashing grins
Enamoured with the mysterious magician
Who won't even explain his wondrous act
Not even telling a magician never reveals,
But nothing at all, oblivion,
Instanly vanished, that hand of hearts,
All gone, the prestige completed
Marvelously, wonderously, climactic,
And the crowd cheers and yells,
Riotously and adoringy
But they forget to pay the mage his pennies
And the abandoned volunteer
scorned for her temerity to give herself up
Blasted for her audacity to admir
Forgotten by the mage for the most part
Except that she kept a card for herself,
When will he realise what he's missing?
Then the mage will go back to the volunteer,
And the act will be completed
Oh the audeience will roar and cry
Oh, the highest moment, the prestige
Will be utterly perfect, utterly
Magic
