Red roses bouquet
Inspires a true love story
With its own language
Eliciting breathtaking 
Sigh when received as a gift

Coming from my hand, 
I knew the story well!

Putting words to paper;
somewhat tough now,

but; altogether, 
tougher when imagined

For, that's what imagination is.
It's a free thing:

Not,eliciting restrictive parameters:
more; a seizing notion that perpetuates....

Warm spring sun talking to the trees,
Bringing the glow of the universe nigh
On the wings of a sweet-smelling breeze,
Warm spring sun talking to the trees
Bringing ol’ man winter to his knees,
Growing season eliciting a hopeful sigh
Warm spring sun talking to the trees,
Bringing the glow of the universe nigh.

Ideas ringing in my head
  silenced in workplace's stead
So many years they called to me
  vainly yearning to be set free

One morning the system went down
  eliciting many a sigh and a frown
But my ideas begged me to show 'em
  ~ And so I wrote my first poem

They paused neath a tortured moon

whence delusions met ocean tides,

eliciting a volatile hurricane's vortex

masking intentions in the sand,

whilst escaping horizons surrender

under disillusionment of passion

in posthaste of sunlit warnings

hidden amidst clandestine shadows,

wherein night no longer shaded love

Curiously creative critters crowded confused Crystal
Deliberately demanding diverse diagrams during depression
Eliciting extra enthusiastic energy entertaining elves 
Formulating fresh flippant flares for Freddie
Giving generous gifts, gallivanting gleefully
Heartily having healthy hopes helping Henry
Igniting imagination inducing interesting investigations
Jealous juicy jazzy jabberwocky jitterbugging...

The vendor advertised his wares
Eliciting assorted stares.
For just six bucks (a price quite wacky),
You could buy some pants – in kaki!

English likely’s not his tongue
And yet, before that sign was hung,
You’d think he wouldn’t be confused
On how to spell the word he used.

My husband shrugged and disagreed;
That “kaki” sign was all he’d need
For none would understand it better
If it had that missing letter....

Flanked by violets and similes
   in a drafty den she pens
away fleet hours, pensive, concocting
   exotic brews of rarest essence

and scents, honey-tipped phrases
   in secret rhythmical chants  
known only to denizens of her
   innermost sanctum, where she,

perches, chin in hand, arranging
   delicate strands of sound, eliciting
murmurs from those gathered, who lionize her
   though she remains as the dust underfoot...

I am Satan’s prophet God is using,
Because He is certain Satan is losing:
Another thousand pigs to surely perish
The Homeless Anew to this not cherish.

The Devils mouthpiece God monitors his megaphone:
In the end, God’s Messages in Satan’s tone
This, the latter not happy to condone
Because in me has built his throne…

Yep, Satan’s script God keeps editing
Satan from it not much eliciting
And would soon cease soliciting....
