Where has VeeBdosa gone?
I do not know though care!
It took a Cyndi MacMillan
For me to ask you, "Where"?

Those cheap thrills for a dollar.
Ride a coaster, scream, or holler.
So, everybody does the bop.
Like pop star Cyndi Lauper....

Rage
Bursts
As a 
Volcano
Saying words without 
Reflecting the final results
Recognizing the topmost personality flaw
Generating to reach out for the temporary treatment to subdue distressed nerves

The eighties ignited a hair bomb
With Siouxsie And The Banshees
Cyndi Lauper and Platinum Blonde

With enough Final Net and a thorough tease
Your hair would stand up to the stiffest breeze

In 1894 EDWARD ESTLIN CUMMINGS was born
when capital letters were the 'norm'-
With inventive and original verse,
Gaps,spaces,drop margins he then did try
and much use of the lower-case i
EE's many  little poetic tricks
sure makes him my maverick!

Note Cyndi
one of my 5 line vignette form
changed to a demi-sonnet form...

Serendipity happened
As the dancer communed
Poet's scintillas and muse
Enchanting poetic expression
Dances like wind-tossed Dandelion
Fragrant perfume infuse
Summery, sumptuous person
Gifted poet whose poems not homespun
Whose words hearts seduce___

Writing Gallery

Inspired by “Writing is really a form of addiction, really”
another superb Cyndi MacMillan line

Fill me poets with a
lawful rush to 
every cell of existence.

Hooked like sharks
to wounds, guttle
each new drop, each word,

without which we painfully
pass away in need of substance, 
a heart, a soul, any heart, any soul.

Butterflies flit to flowers
serenity in the shade
reclined adirondack chair
a buzzzz interrupts...

Ouch, bee sting "bites me", in pain, 
I run for the cortisone.
Impossible! metered buzzzz
...off to find Cyndi!

A fellow poet the other day
Had the kindest words to say
At first I kind of felt all nerdy
To hear my poem would be “purse worthy”
This was a term quite new to me
So she explained it so I’d see
It meant she thought the poem was good
She’d put it in her purse – she would
So she could read it any time
I’m kind of glad I wrote that rhyme

By day the toys surround her in a group,
But when her little girl is sleeping sound,
The keyboard’s where our poet will be found,
To write some magik lov - her words astound;
She always brings the gift of joy to Soup.

Merry Christmas, Cyndi  xx

*For PD’s contest

Cyndi  wrote a poem, Lov is Magik, as a girl
One of her stories is called The Gift of Joy
She recently used this form, the envelope quintet, in a great poem...

Ah, yes, the joys of being naked
I love you’re wholly naked with me
Others have us wisely rated
They can go outside, come and see
And wish to one day simply be

Secure in their bodies enough
To be glowing in the buff
Greatly we are completely so
Got invisible clothes and stuff
Comfortable in skin I know

At fast food restaurant where I eat
There's man that gives feeling deja' vu
Our glances have always been discrete
At fast food restaurant where I eat
A tete-a'-tete would fuel the heat 
This tete-a'-tete is long overdue
At fast food restaurant where I eat
There's man that gives feeling deja'vu

"Au revoir, mon amour", these words I cried.
Our affaire de coeur, c'est magnifique...
"Why must our passion end?" I sighed,
"Au revoir, mon amour", these words I cried.
With a kiss, "c'est la vie", he replied,
"our beautiful love, a shelved antique".
"Au revoir, mon amour", these words I cried.
Our affaire de coeur, c'est magnifique!

Unhooking my bikini, I fall in
to Utah Lake; it’s thirteen years ago!
I’m naked, and the sun - incarnadine -
like me, has also slipped itself down low,
(though into dusk), while, I -in water -glow! 

My arms are freckle-speckled, lightly tanned.
Beneath my skin I’m feeling golden, and
my breasts are buoys, round and pearly white.
My legs kick strongly; they are lean and grand;
I’m sturdy - yes - but now I’m sweetly light!
