piping plover
brazenly strutting their stuff
along closed beaches

Burnished pheasant,
Repulsed by noon's bright sunshine,
Rasping brazenly,
Calls the plump hens to his side...
Hurry to him, concubines....

Prankster impulsive and brazenly,
put his foot out tripping too hastily,
Arnie in pursuit,
fool messing his suit,
last words heard; "hasta la vista baby!"...

A democracy, tainted unto it's very core....
Hypocrites standing atop Christianity's podium waving
Fist in the face of, Heaven's Messiah: brazenly mocking, love's light ?...

Her denial is her armour and she wears it brazenly,
She hides in silence just behind your smile,
She ebbs away day after day until there’s nothing left,
Then you realise that your mind has been defiled.

Instead of a purse, Miss Prudie Plunkett carried a frumpy sack 
Brazenly swiping, filching, odd & ends and bric-a-brac...
Until one day at the five-and-dime
The store clerks gave her a terrible time
Banned her for life and labeled her a kleptomaniac!...

the term pigeon hole takes on a whole new meaning 
when you come across a round hole in a fence
and a beautiful blue gray pigeon is staring at you through it
this fowl brazenly stares at me through his peep hole
not caring that he is making me feel uncomfortable...

A sand blown whisper taunts my soul 
With rippling samba’s rigmarole 

This soul perspires mosaic paint 
As rose vine perfume makes me faint.

Souls breathe fire to yearn and smoulder 
Seismic vision makes us bolder 

Brazenly two souls rub noses
Wild sirocco dust our poses...

Sliding my door open
Peeking in through to see if you’ll be coming through
My heart beats beyond racing beats
My eyes wide open to see you through the door of my sliding door
Moments of touch and soft caress of love 
Brazenly drive my heart towards you
Waiting for you to come through my sliding door moment...

Dotty doggy duo, daily derring-do,
descending leaves decorating yard,
Beau-black as coal,
brown-eyed batty Gus,
barking brazenly, bounding,
both bonkers?
a boisterous, "You betcha!"

Kings of calamity-
canines of chaos,
squirrels scurry for sweet sanity,
scolding silver September
acorn gatherers,
sedulously seeking sedatives!...

Particular palms protecting private Pop’s Polynesian Paradise.
Bashful bountiful beaches brazenly beguiling busy banana boats.
Gregariously greeting gracious green grass generating gloriousness.
Formidable foams frolicking forever free from formulating fickleness.
White wisps wandering wonderfully within wilderness's willful wistfulness....

Midnight dreams rest tonight
as blurred eyes bend in the breeze
a tepid breeze bringing hints of hope
un-masked in semi-blushed cheeks
a simple smile relegating elegance
in a soft and pure subtle-side  held
in reverence of a temulent night
it is there in the stroke of your hair
your lips graze brazenly upon mine
and for a moment we are not alone...

octobre slinks forth
        relinquishing heat-scorched earth ~
                salacious summer

enflamed leaves embracing
        dalliance with wilder winds ~
		erotic fall tryst

hoary trees exposed
        brazenly displayed bosom ~
                scandalous winter

new bulbs gamboling
         commoved carefree canoodling ~
		warm sassy spring...

River Life and Beauty

Brown skin girls 
with their babbling babies,
romance the river god
scattering petals of red hibiscus.

Naked honeyed bodies
shamelessly glow golden, 
as ripples slowly trickle down
lithe sun-kissed legs.

Cool silver droplets brazenly
caress taut, dark nipples.

LITTLE CHILD read the dictionary:
a poem about all things!

Strains of marigold those
shadows of dancing old!

Ashes to ash all-in-all
a mental addiction
burning wells of poetry
all souls a poem

Cut yourself with A's
and create imaginary gardens
with real toads
real change -- the only poem

And Life is brazenly amazing
leaving no time for thought.

is what i heard.

Mercat was in the deepest of the deep blue sea
The eighth sea if you ask the likes of Pirate Lee
When she found a mirror that belonged to me
I am so beautiful! She said with pronounced glee.

The other maids were tittering about this kitty-she.
So brazenly boastful, said one of the cuter ones, Tee.
Why shouldn’t she be proud? Asked her cousin Zee.
After all, she is the only mercat in the deep blue sea....

Our loud and proud spanking new sixth grade student named Tony Maloy,
Had bragged about being from the island of exotic St. Croix.
He brazenly came late into McD’s classroom, screaming, “AHOY!”
Our teacher rolled his blue eyes, and under his breath whispered, “oh,joy.”
We became instant friends as I knew he was going to be a really fun boy.
Because quite frankly, unflappable Mr. Duckbill is rather hard to annoy....

I’m both painfully shy, and brazenly bold.
The push & pull of opposing natures
that form my existence.

Living my life between the lines
Cold and factual yet scattered and emotion charged,
Faltering, yet ever steady;
loyal even when in full run.

Shuttering with precision,
accurately ambiguous,
softly roaring.

A cynical romantic,
a speechless poet,
practicing an artless art.

Inside and outside I quiver in an instant....

A black butterfly visits 
a morning display 
of dew wet flowers.
No concern about the mere mortal 
tending the garden.
It's soon joined by
a phalanx of small whites.
Handmaidens 
to a royal presence.
The beauty brazenly sits 
on an extended hand.
Opening and closing wings
while surveying the feast of nectar before it.
The tiny whites move as if 
dancing to an unheard melody.
My day is off to a great start.

Crossing the burning barriers,
you take a fatal jump.
Brazenly, but giving little away.

Long shadows of ethnic clouds
were eroding the sun. Feeling the
wet lips you rub you sweaty
palms in vain.

Haunted, you would like to
kill the ghosts. You pull a silken
cord. A silver urn upturns the
ashes of your past.

Each truth walks without legs.
You are still incomplete. The
self-portrait will never hang
on the wall.

The tide comes in a splashin

Where the rocks meet with the bay 

The winds they are a howlin

Neath the piers that seem to sway

 

The birds they fly in daily

and they're singing oh so gaily 

Twisted driftwood floats on by

when the tide comes in so brazenly high

 

Scores of fish washed up together

by waves, that don't care bout the weather 

Jelly fish glistening across the shore

but step on one they're all goo and gore...

Her eyes are blind to all his lies,
excuses and false alibis
The woman cuddles, silently
beside her lover, brazenly
until dawn welcomes the sunrise.

She cannot see behind his guise,
the charade she'll come to despise.
Defending him, defiantly.
Her eyes are blind ~

One day it will be no surprise,
when the veil will fall from her eyes
but until that day, quietly
she lives unaware, piously
on knees, a slave never to rise.
Her eyes are blind ~...
