Abalone steps,
below coffee break arches.
Move along small change!...

A pearl upon the waves,
abalone canvas glitter,
awash in Heaven’s denim.

The little ones
shining bright.

I stay awake; I am like a solitary bird on a roof
Psalm 102:7 CSB

lone bird,
wings claustrophobic, abalone-gray
sans dandelion’s glory
surrounded by seeds

Self-sacrifice is the oyster’s lot; 
this ocean martyr spends its life, 
dedicated to its art.

Its sculptures of abalone and pearl; 
grace softly, human skin, 
with a luster bright.

Light in abalone
breaking iridescent skin
Know me or don't know me
but by all means, please let me in

Sea storm undercurrent
stirring swirls of liquid sand
Serve as my deterrent
as you take me by the hand~...

Nunez Nonsense Memo

Phony Bunch of Bologna

Trump is sure to win another Tony, 
For all of his big bunch of Bologna; 
Up to his ears, 
Drawing tears; 
Proves that he is putrid and phony,
And squishy as some salty abalone.

As I search to adorn my naked thoughts in nacreous chic,
   
   breathing bliss and sipping soulful seas,
      
     my wild whimsy in wanderlust glides like an albatross

 seeking the iridescence of the abalone shell.

Come sample King Neptune’s bounty.
If it’s fish, or abalone,
what you have is all great to me.
Any food that comes from the sea.
Scallops, calamari, lobsters,
shrimp, crabs, clams, mussels, and oysters.
If it swims, or lies on the sand,
it’s sure to be in great demand
To me, it all looks and tastes grand.
It should not be kept for Friday.
SEAFOOD IS GOOD FOOD ANY DAY.

I dreamed of worlds
far and away;
worlds of colored fancies,
worlds that play
among the stars,
in emerald air and
shimmering golden.

Gods play peek-a-boo
with Chimera,
of abalone skin,
lustrous,
flawless.

Ambrosia and absinthe
dining is the
pleasure here;
worlds among the ethers
where mortal dreams
lend wishes
of perfection
to the ethers...
sheer bilss.

       Man weds cockroach in church ceremony  
        Guests munch on freshly grilled abalone

      Pastor upholds his sworn duty
        Lectures bride and groom on infidelity

      Barely two months into marriage
        Tiny baby cockroach appears in a carriage

      Headlines shout out the bad news  
         Seems Mrs. Cockroach was groped and abused

      Minister contacted Planned Parenthood
         Lacking precedent, post-full-term abortion approved
