After a Line By Geoffrey Chaucer
Your yen two wol slee me sodenly
Surrounded by warm sand
Black pools deep as the
Cold in your face
Your hand
With emollient grace
Will cut the wire
Carved then polished
Hair that twists as
In a Spring flood
Your two eyes will slay me suddenly...

Or is that second hand?
What’s yours?
Chaucer trotted on a horse
John Betjeman via choo choo trains
The knowledgeable Omar Khayyam by camel
Well my preferred transport a fast motorbike
Am I mad or are we all mad?

Porous Pen's Pear
crushed concerto cruised
bounty braces bruised
salient seal scrunchy
dark diminuendo dusty
lanky hoists lured
vying voluptuous lurch
wet wits wanky
punctured pills curvy
hoisted heels hefty
saucy syllables scared
hoity bills bear
porous pen's pear
lofty gaunt gifts
etched airy gills.

Some Where In the Fog
Somewhere in the fog is Chaucer's prologue
to those Canterberry tales.
Ms. Layton I must thank for storing it
in my memory bank which of late seems
to have paled.
No offense to Mr. Chaucer but it's way past
time to toss her before this old brain is derailed.
For some day soon I may stutter with so much
extra brain clutter but Chaucer's prologue
it seems I have nailed....

Dark Is My White Domain
Dark is my white domain
White knights of hate
strode through some kind of gate
banners bared high,
Moor
Asian
Latino
or negro
who cares?
I own the world!
Chaucer beware! With
Nose cone dipped in blood and white powder
I writ futures
Mine in gold runes
Theirs on streaming water
Through their pride
My ignorance shines bright
To spread this hate gospel
And hope that they don't waken
To my coward facades....

Shakespeareaholic
He didn’t care for Wilde,
And Chaucer was ‘alright,’
But quoted from The Bard
At morning, noon and night.
He loved the characters,
The funny and bizarre -
And fat old Falstaff was
His favourite by far.
He liked Malvolio,
And never tired of Hal,
He felt for Timon too -
And would have been his pal.
He lived for Will Shakespeare -
His name could make him smile.
I guess he’s not alone -
His words make life worthwhile!...
