Unaffected by natural disasters

At my breakfast table, a ghost
Has just opened all of my post
What’s his caper
That’s my paper
He’s now got his teeth in my toast...

This was 
a prelude to a prefix.
I want to stretch 
my arms 
to reach your moon.

Why did they had 
to go,
the night,
the caper,
the moon !

Acoustic shadows, cast by sound
Whispers in darkness that caper around

Noisy…while silent, 
Distant…hesitant

Wraiths wrapped in velvet
Black shadows abound

She ponders the late evening paper
looking for some reason to smile,
but its only a caper
that catches her eye, while
even the funnies
are too boring.
Its boob tube
snoring

Why do puppies like to chew up paper
To ingest the news I'm thinking, this caper
Smart ass puppies
Smarter than guppies
They just swim around smiling back at us gapers...

A boy can't drive endlessly forever.  Going home is justified.
Knocking loudly makes nice old Pop quickly respond,
Smiling tearfully, "Uncle Victor's wild xerus yanked zinnias".

The old people crew hastens to bathroom
even if earthquake or hurricane looms.
     It’s their mission’s caper
     to waste the most paper.
After relief, activities resume.

   Abramowicz, Goldstein, and Sol Newman
   Went a-caroling with Harry Truman
      They warbled ‘Silent Night’
      In the wrong key, alright ~
   Sol said, “Forget that darn gentile crewman”

Urchin on a cedar swing,
summer mist inhaler,
noonday shriek and frolic,
mother blowing fragrant blossoms
at her golden offspring.
Lavenders amid  the shrouded reverie
pave a mystic wonderland aglow...

layer by layer uncover
light of truth in playful caper
in timeless time, all becomes clear
ineffable bliss, each pore spears
propelling soul to realms higher

A bald-headed man from Jamaica
Attempted to scale a sky-scraper
From his hospital bed
He was heard to have said
‘I was seeking a hair-raising caper!

King Spring
     mass grass
     stalls fall

Bird Herds
     crows row
     ducks cluck

Heel Zeal
     toes pose
     neat feet

Fey May
     pink blinks
     green queen

Paper Caper
     no rolls
     swipe wipes

“I'll follow you to the ends of the earth” is a very old line
But recently, they've discovered earth is round, will take a long time
Sounds good on paper
But methinks this caper
Could mean death crossing by dinghy the ocean brine...

Fairy blossoms
climb through my dreams
cascading over moonlight
and statuesque fountains
purple parachutes 
pirouette across the
gloaming
in a twinkle
the laughter of evening
bells 
and swirling petticoats
caper through the garden
till dawn...

Pen over paper

Over your body is a caper

Exhibits a clapper

Twists like a rapper

Rendition of a writer

Your style peps and ponder

Soup that heals not wither

Outshining like a saber

Unleash your power

Power of poetry... in you!...

March





March, the mooring line of equinox,
A time for all to flush from their covert,
Reverberates the spring zing,
Children caper across green meadows,
Humour climbs the seventh heaven !

A crazy fellow named Paul
That liked to go to the mall
Did a caper
With some paper
That they said was "Off the wall"


To this day it's still a close call
To what they even meant at all
Was it the caper,
Or just the paper,
That they described as off the wall?...

Mind-body tires, causing stupor
Why then overwork mind
Make unending playful caper
Free from desires that bind

Awareness unbroken
Needs ego forsaken
That we now awaken

Heart bliss aspires
Mind-body tires
