Out of Hiding - a Ninette
Bright
shines spring's
fledgling sun.
New blooms praise her,
inspiring élan.
Now effusive,
she conquers
winter's
dun.

Elan Vital
I want to go where the land
Is boundless, where the wheat
corn and flower cane grow,

where the soft white downy
of cotton amplifies in big fields,
and bed my body and soul on
the waves of cotton balls,

and in natural surrender my 
élan vital to feel the virginal of cosmos 
descending for once in age.....

T’was a bone fide anomaly
an avant-garde cacophony
carte blanche imbued with déjà vu
soft ennui of élan
following an endless toque
the dilettante went flat

A new beginning to endure. 

Yester memoir enclosed agone
Today to face more  –
A whole day unrevealed
Fostered withal by elation. 

Walked my way 
With anew hope
Destiny wished crystallized. 

Aspired aspect
Limpid élan…

Tranced....

Slander
I cannot help wondering about Vivaldi.
Antonio was a priest they say,
a cleric of the cloth.
I can’t help surmising
when as a young man
at the Ospedale della Pieta,
(a home for foundlings
and the training of musically inclined
female wards).
I wonder about all that fiddle playing
with an orchestra of young ladies
and him, the red-headed priest
with all that passion and élan.
wanting to express himself
in so many ways
with a strong and vibrant bow
and all those ladies....
