    Women who speak Spanish
       seem to me clannish 
    While men who speak Russian
       remind me of Prussians

    Girls who don’t bathe often speak French
       emitting a certain pungent stench 
    driving French boys to learn German
       hoping to find a more buxom wench… 

    But cats who speak dog
       and dogs who speak cat
          ~ Where the hell are they at

Conifer, fruit tree's arms once did flow
laden with hued blossom, now gesture
to weight of lace ornamental snow.

Wintertide touch mystique blithe spirit.

Discordant weighty clouds draw down low

Chimney above winter render blow.

Piquant smoke distends languidly slow.
Bracing fire in manor of Esture.
Winter's breath chills even clannish crow.

Wintertide touch mystique blithe spirit.

Or the entire narrative varnish!

Subjects should Terrible Kings punish 
Their faults ceases to burnish 
Their eulogy for The–Without–Blemish....

Hand-me-down myths,
  like ancient monoliths,
    clan's fondest memories
      by nostalgia embellished;

larger-than-life sagas,
  truer-than-truth legends,
    hyperbolic narrations
      of happy exaggerations;

that's ancestral history,
  coloring one's genealogy,
    seeping, coursing down
      bloodlines, tribal milestones,


its gravitational whirl stirs
  generations'  imagination,
      east, west, north, south
         through word of mouth!...
