May I Ask You
Why should I make love new
And toil over its expression
When just a glance from you 
Boasts not a syllable 
But speaks perfection?...

People exploring it are quite brave

Exploring her passages is a fave....

Reliable Truck
Mercedes greets Fridays with glee—
With girlfriends she drinks up a spree.
Boasts a dude in one bar,
“Though her name’s a fine car,
She’s merely a pickup to me.”...

Iron Strong
Though the faith 
he boasts about seems
unbreakable like iron,
it's iron cold, iron dead,

rusting away, 
corroded by bigotry 
and conceit, bloating 
his self-righteous head!...

Parade of Ghosts
Leaping to the mind,
The hatred kills the sane,
Leaping back on their soapbox,
Spoke of the devil's bane.
Hooded wolfs bleed to the ranks of angels,
They speak and boasts,
Marching through the dead of night,
Are the parade of ghosts....

April 8th
Thoughts of yesterday...

Light blue of sky boasts 
solitary clouds as bright 
as the sun, bursting 

with immaculate 
hues. They brush the noon's heaven;
hover over peaks.

The gossamer clouds
are wedding-white egrets-
elegant, at peace....

Glacier
GLACIER

Silent  boasts 
The mass of coldness.
Its grim whiteness
In slow-motion anger
Tears and gouges the land
Into trenches and holes.
Its deep claw marks
Show a cold-hearted deliberate
Desecration of the land.
The massive coldness
Of a salient beast....

Subtle Airs
whispering of winds
sibilant, susurrations
inspiring insights

braggart's boring boasts
haughty, howlingly hollow
a wisp and a whiff

tintinnabulum
continuously caressed
potent priapic

wet and wheezy whine
old nick now is not so nice
whispering wraiths wait...

Berry Pomeroy Castle
Two brothers leapt off from the walls,
The castle under siege one night;
An evil place, it boasts two ghosts,
The ladies dressed in blue and white:
A sister slowly starved to death,
Her pretty looks her only crime;
Abusive father killed his girl,
And then her children, too, in time....

False Liberal
the false liberal
a profiteer
takes advantage of good and vice
wants to profit from our sacrifice...
  Does not  llove life sucks it up,
does not  love humanity
explores it...
Is a pariah,
a parasite
between usury and theft
he exits,
to usurps and boasts
with the fruit of sin...!...

Rose Meadow, an outcast woman,
	portrayed by Fertie Fields.
The film chronicles her Pagan beliefs.

	Roland (Rollie) Hills and Hayden Hayfield.

Marquee brags of Nature’s spiritual mysteries
	comprising the life of Rose Meadow....

An ancient bird, I soar above the sea
As a giant squid’s arms reach out for me
     He boasts, “I am the Kraken”
     But something he’s a-lackin’
One brush of my wings; he's pre-history


make the most
of what you have…
     my philosophy

The Haunted House
As thunder boomed and lightning flashed,
The rotting mansion seemed to speak;
The trembling pair, their eyes immense,
Began to shake with each new creak.

Decrepit timbers groaning then,
The pair agog, despite their boasts,
‘We have to stay and see it through.’
They couldn’t leave: they were its ghosts!...

Umbrella Shall Save Ya
Loudly he boasts 
        that he's got the strongest faith
           as ecstatically he exclaims,
              "Your  faith shall save ya!"

             He prays that it won't rain, 
                believing that it won't,
   as he stands there, using as a cane, 
                   a furled umbrella!...

Amaryllis
Amaryllis boasts,
Declaring her love,
Conquests flaunted,
Prideful and beauty,
Tower above,
Look at me? 
Deceivingly she calls,
Toxic and poisonous,
Voluptuous flower,
Her femme-fatale,
Expensive perfumes, 
Seducing oils
Relaxing massages,
Into her blossom,
Splendour with elegance,
Her victims
Die!...

What Fathoms Boast
Splen'drous verse in silent tongue-
The arias of the night,
Their strains a'sail 'pon saddened seas
In dulcet tones of yearning
To this lonely dance some comfort bring...
For what fathoms boasts the myst'ried Deep
That Love has not the greater?
What fragrance speaks Spring's choicest bloom
That Longing's not the more?...

Myrttle and Openings
With myrtle and listenability
I undertake the words of the prophets
Memories relapse in an unhealthy fashion
Man the forgetful
this rectangular mouth
compromises loftily
The Moons harsh splendour
boasts its specious context
as marigold and beam
sway across my October windowsill
like salt peter cleansing the pelt
truth is unburdened...
