Listen to poem:
a purple glow hovered 
surreal in its majesty

Premium Member F'Nal Curta'N

When the past's more v'v'd than the here-and-now
  Depart the stage w'th a curtsy or a bow

Let youth perform and garner the applause
  You opt out w'th a grandfather clause

Camilla Parker-Bowles

Camilla Parker-Bowles
was Charles' mistress, as everyone knows,
they called her a tart and an ugly old cow,
but now she's the queen they all curtsy and bow.

Premium Member Stays / Tokyo, Japan 2008

Diminutive,
held in outward sighs,
control, curtsy, chivalry
with oceanic eyes;
Deep dreamer,
forward thinker,
silencer, sprouting poise,
kindnesses core respect;
of place, art and age;
current behavior
from bygone days
Japan stays.


Curtsy

i bow
you bow
as a cello

i hold you
between my
legs and try

to at least
hear relief
in your tones

when it's then 
that i realize
i'm on the off

beat but 
your back
beat fantas

tically
is one
that i

will
always
follow

Listen to poem:
lingering
in the moment
stretching
the sun
takes 
a final bow
slow motion
a curtsy
and kiss
goodnight

Premium Member Winter Dance 2

Winter put on his coat of white
Whispered to the wind
Come and dance a dance with me
We will whirl and twirl
All across this country floor
Wind sighs in sweet refrain
Wraps her coat tight
Answered winter in delight
Come we curtsy and we bow
Now we dance merrily on new found snow.

Premium Member Under the Sun

beneath a golden sun
dressed the part
for an outdoor
midsummer concert

in parade the musicians
they curtsy sweet in harmony
together launch
their whimsical quartet

and us as guests
leisurely enjoy
the cocktail hour
while others partake
in high noon tea

Premium Member Distant Rumblings - For Choka Contest

Distant Rumblings 


A distant rumbling
slowly turns unwary heads,
anticipation’s curtsy
awaiting stillness.
Homage before the deluge.
The delicate staccato,
of clouded future,
cold touch, a victor’s mercy,
counting coup on flower beds.

Behind Back Talking

I can't stand behind back talking people saying what they think about you behind your 
back. I can't stand behind back talking if you have something to say just say it in my 
face. I won't behind your back talk about you so please do me the curtsy and open your 
mouth and say whatever you have to say about me to my face. Because I can't stand behind 
back talking.

Shadows Dance (Freeverse)

Silhouettes behind curtains,
reach upward
into the illumination
of moonlight,
and dance the tango of dreams.

Velveteen wings
briefly touch sparkling gems of tomorrow
while filigree legs curtsy
and welcome a new day.

Empty eyes kissed by the Witching Hour
silently retire within unfolding dreams
for love, she was with me today 
while we talked of things to be,
yet I was already in tomorrow.

Premium Member Bluebell River

Bluebells curtsy mildew pasture Vibrant, submissive, indigo chimes Blooms convene, witnessing daybreak Vain, boastful, early spring unveils, English bulbs amidst sweet woodland scent Floral rivers flourishing below The matured red stags weary hooves, Strength, stamina, amongst delicate, petite Burnt auburn fur, greets azure petal streams - Beneath April's succulent trees

Premium Member Final Curtain

I will soon forget 
the laughter that I could give 
when life felt so right 
When the last curtain does fall 
there will not be an encore 

I stand on my mark 
Dust motes float in the spot light 
I curtsy left, right 
There is no applause to hear 
No one to see the last act 

The seats are empty 
The isles are not crowded 
The doors are boarded 
All that is left on this night 
Is the final toast farewell

Come Dance

Come dance with me,
  the moon is full, glowing bright
and I feel a little lonely tonight.

The day was full of steady rain
  barely saw the sun's rays
and I felt like life had nothing left to gain.

Come around the shadowy bend
  bow and curtsy to the music played
and tonight would you be my best friend.

Come sway to the rhythmic hum
  let the pleasure overtake you
and I will be all yours until the morning comes.

Our World Mediator

Praised our Creator
He saw the lines
Which required his time
Jesus eyes saw our truth
Even within his youth
Never sought revenge
Made of them friends
Shown them curtsy
Upon his mercy
Why Jesus Christ cried
He saw through the lies
To save us all
He heard Our Father call
To him belongs the throne
Our corner-stone
Which seed has grown
Truth shall be shown
God loves his own
Blessed with the deed
To deliver this read

Premium Member Sea Minuet

Sea Minuet

Prima donna restless surf
Dance on shoreline turf
Crash to augmented beat
Trip light fantastical fleet

Pirouette high and low
Gracefully curtsy, as you go
Effervescent tutu foam
Crisscross silt return home

Sea of melodious minuet
Garner stars in silhouette
Highest regards to deep blue
 Keen tis moon to ensue

Reflections of stars on glass
Shimmer at ballerina pass
Chaotic tis waters rebuff
Beauty tis never enough

Premium Member THE ROYAL ROBE

A man went from Prince to King
Inherited his father’s throne and crown
Living in a castle in wide open spaces through the colony
Excellence and Elegance style
Beauty of sparkling sequence of the Red and White robe
Razzle and Dazzle
Sense of power
Fortune of Wealth
Leverage of honor
Total privilege
Throughout the castle Soldiers and the help standing at attention
Bowing and curtsy
Sword within the honor of avion
The aroma of goodness
Royal Robe of quality and Dignity.

Premium Member The Last Act

I will soon forget, 
the laughter that I could give, 
when life felt so right. 
When the last curtain does fall, 
there will not be an encore. 

I stand on my mark. 
Dust motes float in the spot light. 
I curtsy left, right. 
There is no applause to hear, 
no one to see the last act. 

The seats are empty, 
the isles are not crowded, 
the doors are boarded. 
All that is left on this night, 
is the final toast farewell.

Paying Respects

The casket’s draped in purple,
Which is what the crowd expects,
As they inch up in the queue at last
To pay their last respects.

They’ve waited there for hours
For a minute with the Queen,
To bow or curtsy or salute,
A touching, tender scene.

Each somber guard stands by
With no expression on his face 
And silence fills Westminster Hall
For mourners to embrace.

Across the pond, we watch in awe,
For who knows if or when
We’ll ever see the likes 
Of such a tribute come again.

Premium Member A Leaf

Meditating on the season, I
took notice of a leaf's dramatic
fall -- a fascinating journey: a
quarter past first marvelous budding~
soon unfolding into towering
presence...now~ dynamic
parting: flamboyant waving,
a curtsy and leap,
a spin with colorful grin,
supported by daffy current -- 
playful rocking, showy gliding -
faking downing, direct sliding
then again rising, as a royal nose -- 
at last arriving at inevitable rest

back when the spring commeth 
             re-leaf….
