Velvet murmur hue
intuits bright peep day clue
yet dark sky sports smirk!!
Sly sombre omen,
magpie in mute throat a ruse,
connivance in jest!!
Rain coat, brolly, cap,
light shower from downcast vault,
or oddball dry spell!!
Yellow stucco-walled, for house;
That in front warm-paved.
Brightly blazing, pot on pot
Here and there seed-saved.
Of Summer, what is gazed through
In its setting's lace
Can but, in feminizing
Enhance, dear, your face.
The games of shady business:
selling their soul to the highest bidder
~ we just watch in horror
Wordku: 5-7-5 words
Your cheeks are tending to the ground
And I’m so slow today
Look at the memory I’ve found
Before it flies away
The lifeline furrow on your palm
Runs through the hills and dales
Inside the storm it could be calm
Despite the blowing gales
My glasses gleam with gold and brown
I have to go again
I cannot see what time is now
Could be the same as then
No winds, its stillness here today
Along the waters green
I’m following your shady way
To let you know I’m in.
We went for a walk, one windy day,
through the woods, and along the way,
she said to me, "If you please,
let's sit a while, it would make me smile,
beneath these shady willow trees."
Yet, as just then, a gale-like gust blew by,
in apprehension, I asked her, "Why?"
And with a flirt, a lift of skirt,
the lady promptly did reply,
"On my first date, not to prevaricate
or equivocate, I don't osculate.
It's not the wind beneath my wings,
or a draught up the shaft I love,
but the breeze between my knees."
Always walk on the sunny side of the street
where the grass is always greener
my advice... give a wide berth to the shady side
(unlike Little Red riding the 'hood)
as over there the streets are meaner
better yet focus on the good
where life is pleasantly serener
maintain a positive outlook
and keep a cheerful demeanour
please don't be annoyed vex or hex yourself
(so as to avoid a scandal)
like the wicked old witch on her broom
who when angry flew off the handle
Don is my dear daddy, Daddy loves tasty toddy, Drinking toddy is his hobby, His hobby is quite greedy , A greedy man overcomes his body , And his body becomes fatty.

Too bright the world maybe in eyes of different colours,
but wicked eyes do fail to see the light in hearts of others.
With warmth the sun shall shine on souls that overglow,
undoubtful faith in innocent hearts will add to the devils woe.
Signs of revulsion the hateful show on face and in every cry,
with glee and pleasure they are quick to mock with hate in every sigh.
The prideful ones sparkling they are in reflections of shattered mirrors,
but ignorant thoughts will surely lead to a life of a thousand errors.
Envious eyes disguise themselves behind their innocent looks,
but some expose hidden cupidity as words in open books.
Too many shades the world does have for those with great require,
but only colours that bring us joy are what our hearts desire.

Deep South
Word of mouth
The town had so much hate
Today’s world can relate
Separation
Black Man’s nightmare
All about fear
Tormented
Name calling
Woes
Blood that flows
The idea of being a minority
True reality
Just to survive
Attempting stride
No trust
Town of a past
Freedom at last
Shady Point
Didn’t inspire me
No dignity and honor
South scent
North went
Ray met a wayward Lady.
That swears her name is Maybe.
Ray said to tell Ya.
Maybe's some Fella.
And wears a Shady Kady.
Sunny side and shady side
They don’t usually collide
Reconciling midday sun
Makes them equal, they are one
Matters least which side you go
Walking fast or walking slow
Same is true for rainy day
Street is wet, each side can say
Walk on here, passerby
Other side’s not worth to try
Its old pavement is uneven
It has nothing to believe in
Crooked houses, beaten slabs
Puddles, parking lot for cabs
Same can say the other side
But it’s pointless to decide
So whatever side you’re on
You are there, then you are gone
Tom dug deep in dell
had been on the way to hell
would sit for short spell
Brady we could tell
in love all the women fell
head started to swell
who would take Tom's place
down new candidate will chase
between ears short space
be big bar bouncer
a super sports announcer
some event sponsor
was Tom Brady
many deals may be shady
loved by each lady
