As I age my husband says I resemble fine champagne... 
Does that mean I’m fruity, full bodied, and always sparkling!

Able bodied children dead! 
Even fate grieves hopelessly 
In justified keening, lamentation, mourning.
Not one pacifier! 
Queens royally sejant...
Troops under vultures' wings,
Xylophones yack zealously......

The green bodied soul 
of a majestic Bahama Parrot
soaring in the airspace 
like a shooting star
nesting among the Abaconian pines
feasting on a fresh platter 
of wild guava and pigeon berries
for a lifetime !...

yellow rose on bier
full-bodied treatment
grand life disappears
ripe thorn’s, bereavement

dried flower repose
buried in suitcase
emerge briar rose
soul in boundless space

healthy, 
            hale, able-bodied, 
  exercising, healing, mending
sanitary, hygiene, infirm, illness
   puking, regurgitating, dying
            afflicted, queasy
                       sick

A Wild turkey, bulbous bodied, wings flapping in the breeze;
                     Determined to fly, whoops, he fell to his knees!

We suitors were idiots squabbling in line
   till mademoiselle informed us of her choice.
Intoxicating, her bouquet divine,
   like the vintage of a rich full-bodied wine.
Fearful she would not hearken to my voice,
   overjoyed when she consented to be mine!...

Clad in flowing purple
Like a full-bodied
Cabernet Sauvignon
She vanishes into the 
Shadows of the night
While I stand alone, 
Dreamily savouring 
The lingering aftertaste
Of her aromatic kiss.

KISS OF DEATH

full-bodied wine

felicitous lipstick

smile glistens in goblet

gregarious sips

~

rogue wave

of purple grape

plenipotentiary drink

steals Juliet’s kiss

I have a favourite type of girl,
Nothing wrong with that
I love my ladies ample
Like beautiful Fat pat
Also Porkus Dorcas
And Obese Louise,
Glandular Angela
Gives me a good squeeze
I love voluminous
I love them rounder
I love them full bodied
Because rounder is sounder...

getting drunk
drinking her
fermented sweat

mixed with
a bouquet
of musk with

an aftertaste
unrelated
to anything ever

to touch
my palette
sweet but dry

she's full bodied
with a bite
of cinnamon spice

she goes down
smoothly aged
to perfection

a vintage

We suitors were nervous while standing in line 
'til mademoiselle informed us of her choice; 
intoxicating, her bouquet divine, 
like the vintage of a rich, full-bodied wine; 
fearful she would not hearken to my voice, 
overjoyed when she consented to be mine!

Repetitious     Unsure

Turn     Opportunist     Empathy     Proficient 

Surprising     Reserving     Enabling

There was once an elf who learnt how to brew
a full-bodied beer and cook Irish stew.
He mixed them both together
with whisky for good measure.
When BANG went the pot a tantrum he threw!

Blowing air,lightening,blasting ears thundering in a parade monsoon rain now on down pouring.

Bear bodied ponds in sweat for long wearing rain coats.

Water frogs croaking in high tones trying to beat the sounds of thundering.

Female frogs not ready to wait any more rushing towards the ponds,loosing their dresses green for mating!...

I wish I were a mermaid
So I could swim beneath the sea
And bring a moonfish home
To meet my mermaid family!

A moonfish (also called an opah) is a large, flat-bodied fish found in warm ocean 
waters. A moonfish can grow quite large, weighing up to 200 pounds. 

Bonus activity: Print a picture of a moonfish from the internet and let children pass it 
around....

I Dream of Hankie Birds

In New Orleans there is a park
called Audubon. In dreams I go
there, see the hankie birds--a show
of snow-white feathers that is stark
against the tan of trees. A spark,
a flash--the camera catches all
the flurry as birds obey a call.
They fly up all at once, and wave--
white-bodied half notes leap the stave
of branches browning in the fall....

Rich tones of chestnut encircle his curls-
Waving, twisting, winding in my fingers.
Full bodied lips tangle mine; his tongue swirls,
A trace of tangy cherry still lingers...

A tinge of smoke rasps the depths of his throat,
As breath wafts past my ear in smooth action.
His moan has the earthy timbre of oak
As he sings my name with spicy passion...

I detect satisfaction....
