On International Women’s Day,
the twitter bird cried out umbrageous,
for it had heard the White House say
an Argentine man was a ‘Woman Courageous’.
The agenda pushed at any cost,
without a compass, one’s way is lost.
Water rolling down from the pitcher
A long time ago, one purple morning
The sun took a seat in the argentine flow
It had quietly entered through the window

A
path to
harmony
is one adorned
with vermilion hues.
Pumpkin leaves, remnants of
summer’s verdant colors now
drifting through the woodland splendor
through argentine skies, unified, a mélange
of the magnificence autumn bestows.

distress alarm went out over the Dunkirk Sea
french bunnies in the water, capsized, maybe three
tugboats and rowboats raced to try and help
argentine bunnies were pulled out wearing gooey kelp
I rescued four, Michigan, a freighter captain said.
we have five here, announced my uncle Fred.
altogether they rescued nineteen bunnies that day.
boats of every color and country, many from far away.
My father left this rocky coast
Upon a southbound brigantine;
To make his fortune, he did boast,
Six months along the Argentine.
A lighthouse lit our lonely cove
For more than fifty years in all.
The beacon of my mother’s love
N’er quenched a night, as I recall.
Long have I scanned the sky;
My sons have come and gone. I cry:
“O, who shall carry on the light
That shone in mother’s eyes, so bright?”
An argentine sky adorns the woodlands
In a misty shroud as only slight remnants
Of a long forgotten path remain,
Embraced by the beauty of maples and by
The scent of cool crisp air--autumn permeates.
Yet there is subtle warmth in the mélange
Of colorful pumpkin, gold and, vermilion leaves,
In their swirling harmonic dance
As they depart the boughs of their birth
Unified in death, as in life.

*For Russell Sivey’s Autumn Splendor contest
The night has befallen me
Rescue me, unchain me
Sacred Lorelei
Bleeding a passion of royalty
Forever I'll follow your Argentine cloak
with the most deadly pacts
beautiful Witch
Sacred Lorelei
Tell me did the ravens Hear my cry
My misery's plea
Sacred Lorelei
Was this all just upon a dream
Lucidity becoming reality
of my Sacred Lorelei
A fiat of darkly desire
from a most beautiful witch
unchaining the burden of my misery
All for my
Sacred Lorelei
Whistling air
burning fire
running water,
waiting earth...
water with earth, clay,
water with air, foam,
fire with water, water
very warm...
Air with air, flute,
earth with earth, garden,
fire with fire, love,
water with water, agauceiro...
Just four essences,
four sweet handfuls
and a cauldron...
The universe has already been
perfumed with magnolias... !
Transcription in translation of a poem by
the great Argentine writer/poet
Liliana Bodoc.
COUPLET MATCHSTICKS - A CONVERSATION STARTER
The lyrics crescent of bravado
Toes of the ballerina apropos
The gymnast - a sculpture in motion
A wrestlers seamless grip
The poet’s morse code
Tears dripping from clothesline
Simmering heat from pavement
Snow white encampment
Cheap underwear
Kilmer’s trees
Serpentine legs, sharp Argentine tango
Carmen’s March of the Toreadors
Golden streets, pearls, living water
Plath’s Tulips
