in the late snowfall
cranes chortle hauntingly -
for spring to follow?...

Immortal Chortal in a Portal

was an immortal
and ill conceived chortle
played in a portal

Moonlight hung silky sheets
From my bed...
Love quietly tiptoed to my door and
Climbed into warm chortle desire!

The Old man

Brown-spotted hands

Hooded eyelids

What a sight

His blue-veined dance

Delicious chortle

Touches everything...

Laugh
Giggle, Guffaw 
Chucking, Tittering, Cackling 
Joy, Mirth, Cry, Chortle 
Tearing, Weeping, Sobbing 
Whiny, Blubber-faced 
Cachinnate...

The anti-Darwinian portal
Pass through and your soul's immortal
This fills church coffers
Without refund offers
And that's why priests seem to chortle...

On a hill top, lived a man so stingy
Though wealthy, his house was very dingy
When his wife asked for money
He would chortle- 'No Honey'
Tired, fled with her lover on a pony...

Now here's a question... why be normal
That's no bloody fun, rather be immoral
Being naughty and stuff
Dancing in the buff
As people around me giggle and chortle...

Enter, mere mortal...

   God's portal...  

      Thou shalt not chortle!

Someday Babe,
Break through this endless death-strangled turmoil;
cage your purple, unwanted confusion and pain
peer upon the silky rose pedals into infinity
then chortle will reign !

Upon unfettered twinkled mornings
           with chortle memories spawned
Lil Lonnie, was sprinkling sculptured sandcastles
                        with fairy dust !

Biting through strings on girlish giggles 
harrowing the echo of church bells;
Overpowering with sweetness
rolling in good times that tune foretells,

Magick you always want to join in,
tragic to know it’s a small circle;
Fabric that has been stitched together,
dramatic their chorus of chortle....

Invisible knife shimmering soft
Delicious brides shimmering soft
grooms chortle love on silky slips

Stealthy sultry skin
hot and waxen
Fevered positions
nocturnal passion

Vows of night
consummated by day
Shadow dressed light
love bled away

Invisible knife shimmering soft
Delicious brides shimmering soft...

Oh!
My love
    Delicately whistles
        Ripened in plums of wonder
             Warm
                 Silky
                       Chortle
                              Deliciously
                                       Tangy with desire
                                               On fire!

I heard the magpie chortle
On a blue sky sunny day

She must be so pleased
In the Australian native way

Then smiling she looks at me 
And chortles again – will she stay?

Black and white proud you see
Spreads her wings and flies away

The queen of what she sees
Do you wish it was you today?

Poetry’s blue
Like raindrops and dew
It’s sad when it’s said
Most poets are dead.

Music is blissful
To a poet it’s wistful
Has it never been cried
That an artist has lied.

A flower’s a bud
 It’s soil in love
An apparatus of chortle and cheer
But has it never been said
That god must be dead
‘cause even flowers
Whittle with tears....

Giggle, chortle, chuckle, laugh,
Snicker and guffaw;
Titter, be in stitches, snort
As if you broke the law.

Cackle, beam and grin so wide
Your cheeks will start to hurt.
Set your face aglow like when
You eat the best dessert.

Keep the real world from your thoughts
And let your mind employ
Whatever tactics it may have
To conjure up some joy....

From claggy Bedders and Hornets hump,
From Cordell, Laws and Radar.
We trundle merry like a thump
To see Fab Adies sock.

In hoodie cloves and clippy breeze;
In Disco Dave we pledge.
I chortle like a tuneless wheeze
To see Bad Adie rock!

On Kunterblanche we make our name,
A pallet one and all,
Then Turb into myself again
To see Mad Adies frock....

Time is the enemy, 
leaves broken dreams 
scattered like dead leaves on the path behind us all. 

Time is the enemy, 
reaches into our souls and tears out 
that which makes us whole. 

Time is the enemy, 
steals away our smiles 
and reasons for laughter. 

Time is the enemy, 
I punch in the face 
and chortle anyway. 

Time is the enemy, 
I fight day to day and win 
every morning that I wake... 
until....

***AMERICAN PRIDE***




Hurry hurry, dress your best!
Wear your soft velour vest!

You must be ready to go
And thank God you are an American, you know.

Let other countries laugh and chortle.
Like us, they are just mere mortals!

There is one ruler on this earth.
He laughs at our pompousness with  mirth.

He has the last call, not us!
God only decides who will ride heaven's bus!

Ideas come prancing but I do not have the time
They try to open me up, to swizzle around in my mind.
I intentionally ignore them, hoping they will go away.
They dance a watusi, fully intending to stay

What is it? I yell, irritated that they will not give me a break.
They chortle and chant and snicker. For goodness sakes!
Ideas are swishing and swirling, all alive in my mind.
Poetry? Art? What are they wanting? Will I find out in time?...

ailing and exhausted
I cloak myself 
beneath the glittering orbs

my yearning
securely clasped
one more wound in my core

vanished is all despair..
chortle or mourn
foreboding only a murmur in the wind

once wistful
I scampered baying
torment piercing my soul

I  thought you mystical
and willingly followed
until treachery discarded my affection

I pray not for revenge
the infatuation was my own
I shall delight in detesting you...

Do you hear the magpies chortle
As the sun rises over the hills
Do you see a koala in a gum tree
As the wind rattles the leaves

Do you feel the sun on your neck
As the summer sun reaches high
Do you see the dust across the sky
As the dry takes hold of the red earth

Do you see the kangas and emus bound
As the cool of the evening settles the earth
Do you love this land with all your heart
As one who was blessed with Australia .

Past umphle and some scatter beans
Past tickly cough we pass.
A grumble through the chorley wood
To breed a better rash.

Past arsewiffe with a whopper club
Past bramble burt and bibby.
A farple for old fortitude
To sing the Doo-Wah-Diddy!

Crave not for little Jeremy
A blister on his soresight.
Go butter up the khaki tin
And wave for Queen and kite.

Re-muse the giddy pumpkin.
A smile turned upside down,
For better bread and smutter
We chortle like a clown....
