Auntie Arista Adderlisting
Ate apples appreciatively
Attired in an aba apron
Always asking apprecisively
Are apricots aphrodisiacs
As Auntie abhorred amphimixis...

cream rose white daisy
blue jay on a cobalt sky
heart stopping sunset

frog on lily pad
diamonds on a starry night
gold butterfly sun

tree bark gingerbread
apricots and honey dawn
raspberry rose finch...

Farts: an expression of our most inner thoughts
Can't get more sincere, than toots from apricots 
Fruity smelling at best
Like a beaver over stressed
Canada's national symbol, hard-working knobs...

Amaryllises fill the flower lover's small, white cottage,
In pinks, apricots and burgundy, near summer's edge.

If a gal immediately tickles my ticklish spots
Then forthwith she certainly has me tied up in knots 
A sense of humour is key
Goes a long way with me
So much better than a big bowl of apricots

Huh???

making a smoothie with dry apricots and raw almonds
I return do the dunes and finish the tunnel to china
with the help of hemp and chia
flax not invited for the lax of efficiency last week
but banana my friend brings his girlfriend the pear
and we jump in the hole
the ride a dream we reach the other side of the world...

The flowers of apricots blossomed again
As the color of the cheeks I saw years ago
And the murmurs they had hoped to show
And the feelings made me love the springs

How many times I should wait here as this
For the miracles appearing in the breezes
And for the readiness of making pledges
And making sure each youth full of cheers...

In Kashagan
The silk road begins
I bought
An apricot 
From a woman
wearing
A red shawl
Over her black hair.
A yellow dress
She was stunning.
Kashagan
Has the biggest
Outdoor market
In the world
Europe is puny
And far away.
A new silk road
Is being 
Constructed 
Pipelines and trains
Expanding trade.
that is ok
as long 
as they sell apricots...

The sun had the best day ever.
The forest colors were joyful in golds and apricots.
Leaves this scarlet were rarely found.
Fairies of the woods were waving good-bye to the sun.

She knew it was time to go.
The rest of the world was waiting 
But she knew she would never see another forest like this.
Come back tomorrow! The elf king yelled, reminding her it was okay to go....

He remembers loving her  
lost in an orchard 
peaches, pears, apricots

falling on his head
every day
always out of breath

stunned, dizzy
seeking shelter 
he never found

then hating her 
the night she sent him 
whirling into space

dodging stars, planets
no sign of life anywhere
wondering whether

he would ever hear 
a songbird welcome spring 
or kiss her again.

In my garden, there’s an apricot 
tree with pink fragrant blossoms that 
fall from the branches one by 
one to the ground. From a 
tree, then tiny green 
leaves sprouting out. 
The fruit it 
makes and 
grows.
On 
the full  
apricot
tree, the young fruit 
cover the branches 
with sweet, juicy orange 
apricots. They are very 
delicious; even the blue jays
and crows eat the fruit right off the tree.

what in a nut makes it so attractive
to crush the velvet green under the shade of the tree
a stone in hand I go for it and produce the taste of milk

and run for the apricots on the next tree
the jujubes will wait as they are not ready
for the pilferage of a good child

sated I lay on the dunes and start digging the tunnel of my future
going nowhere but the abundance of china as I remove the tags 
from the porcelain in my life...

On reading Der Spiegel 
 In Kashgar where the 
The Silk Road begins
 I a bought 
An apricot
From a woman who wore 
A red shawl
Over her black hair
 Knotted under
Her chin 
And a yellow silk dress
Kashgar the biggest
Outdoor market
In the world 
Europe is so puny 
And far away
A new silk road 
Is being built 
Pipelines and trains
Expanding trade
For China 
Ok, as long as they sell 
Apricots 
At the market place
In Kashgar...

Lines in the sand

    Blanks on the screen

        Cocaine on the card

            No apple in paradise


Castles in the air

    Veiled in innocence

        Loaned to the banks

            Fruit cocktail spiced


Staked pigs fly high

    Masked ignorance

        Small fees incurred

            Apricots date peaches



Limitless sky

    Showering curtains

        Canned laughter

            Hemlock imbibed

Lines of attraction gather around your face,
as your lips lift like an amusement ride.
Dips and dimples elude learned grace
and your forehead foldings coincide.

Deep rooted paths, like travelled lands
show erupted islands of warm sunspots
golden upon your useful hands,
tough but tender like dried apricots.

Your dove-like spirit is eager to listen
with childlike eyes, renewed and restored,
springing forth with mercy's glisten,
mirroring an image of your walk with the Lord....
