California
Sunny, warm 
Swimming, boating, sunning
Sky, airplane, ocean, seashells
Skiing, sledding, snowball throwing
Cold, blistery

Amsterdam.
Calm, gentle.
Cycling, boating, walking.
Tulips, cobbles, bakeries, fresh air. 
Eating, drinking, sight-seeing.
Modern, historic.
Holiday....

Holy cadoodle, when will it stop
Rain up our ying yangs, even over the top
Back teeth are floating
Better start boating
What's goin' on, spring's been a real big flop...

Summer
balmy, sunlit

skiing, sledding, snowshoeing
frosty, gloomy

A 
day with
family
at nearby stream, 
devouring mom's home-made delicacies;
Fun with cool water creeking, paper boats, 
boating, tire-swing
moments of
gleeful
joy

Boyhood’s brave tire swings forth in adventure
idyllic wing’d
waterscape
Blond-skirt
g i r l,
whirls,
extends
her courtship
Nudges of bright
family picnics, boating, wading, trills*

water
clear, muddy
wading, swimming, boating
oceans, rivers, streams, puddles
sprinkling, pouring, flooding
fluid, wet
H2O


Water is essential to life and health; water quality varies greatly on environment; and last of all water can kill.  Think on these things.

The file is labeled: “I’m Dead, Now What”?
My wife compiled it knowing that I am ill-prepared
to run my own life without specific instructions.
Today I have to sign more papers
regarding Wills and Life insurance forms.
I’m thinking of faking my death in a boating accident,
only the boats not paid for and it’s in her name,
so now I am not even fake-dead,
now what?...

I've posted a piece that's longer than the poetry section allows.

called: boating

In the "Short Story" section. 

I know I could take things out - to make the piece shorter and force it to fit in the poems section - but that length seems arbitrary  *shrug*

Here's the URL:

~August~
(Acrostic)


August is the 8th month of the year
Until this day it has been continually hot
Great time for barbeques,the pool and the beach
Under the sun everyone has lots of fun
Sailing,boating,fishing,eating great food and drinking cold tea
Take advantage of the last month of summer and enjoy it all you can.

When we did see the rudimentary,
We decided to name her Dorothy;
Memory miser,
Left under visor;
Sang do ray and would forget me.

She always gave to the cause;
Was last seen in Wizard of Oz;
By crow scared;
Lion fair haired,
And tin man with metal paws.

Rainbow in air was found floating,
And around lake had been boating;
Witch appeared,
Who we feared;
Watch Wizard of Oz time devoting.

(Re old poems)



The luncheon of French bourgeoisie under frilly striped awning.
Young fair maiden, rosy cheeks- beguiling her eyes; leans on the railing.
Amidst fruits and undrunk wine in amorous air strokes dog, a wife.
Men look askance in yellow straw hats, faces muse in blazing whites.
Quivering tints alive on a terrace, evolve in sunbathed human life.

Based on Auguste Renoir's painting - ''Luncheon of the Boating Party''

It was pouring cats and dogs
Fully drenched I returning from the piano class
Suddenly saw I, gathered a group of tiny tots
Busy making and floating paper boats

Sat down with them
And danced, sang, sailed the blue boats
In ecstasy I realised that had
Happily embraced my inner child

When emotions ran footloose and wild
Down with a sore throat, influenza, pneumonia
Yet awaiting another shower
To join the kids in their mollycoddled gaiety and gala....

There it is - a dot in the blue.
There it is - black wings in the sun.
There is - a feathered diving.
Here it comes
look at the parting windward!
Look - a bolt of fright
a flight of lightning
Fish wriggling- slivering rainbow
clawed hook hung in the hanging
spray fly-falling
bird up-risen
wings boating airward
mouse run snake path in the scrub
food - baby food
open red mouths - nesting.
mouse got - too slow
fish gone.
Mouse swallowing
last breath....

Sweet sunrise dances over the horizon and the gentle wind blows
Of summer breeze; weekend  ripples stay at mangrove tree.

We hear and feel swelling waves during high tide
Beneath the nipa hut that seems boating at night.

Our arms feel the warmness, the softness and deepness
And my voice whispers love and happiness.

Our dreams of a lifetime caress, of endless care
And of love may perish at twilight....

a boy is boating on the yellow river 
singing songs and praising the nature 
singing loudly and thanking the creator 
woods are there beside the river 
the boy must be human race and woods, rivers are all nature 
the still water is not still now 
a seven headed snake 
is chasing underneath the water 
the body was dark and seven heads symbolize seven sins that are devils graces 
oh the boy is unware the snake 
like we and our fate 
wake up o' little soldier,u have to win 
against darkest nature...
