Short Ensembles Poems

Ensembles of little wonder,
rattle the mind amiss,
percussing each muse asunder,
more a kick drum than a kiss.
Inherent absurdities,
on which I plaster a smile,
mortified in memories,
regressing all the while.
Through breathless interlude,
studied demeanours lie,
I pray for beats of solitude…
to distract my rhythmless eye.

Je retiens espoir
Chassons qui garde notre bien-être
La foi prise en tête
Pour mettre fin à l'interdit des rassembles
Travaillons ensembles
Prenons Dieu par la main
Saison le chagrin
L'amitié vous le croyait
Assez qu'ont le pardonnerais
Ma jeunesse m'ennuie pas
Toujours quelques pas derrière moi
Merci à Dieu
Si chaleureux
En grand esprit
Je vous en supplie...

Ensembles of 
Venomous thoughts invade
Every 
Reasonable emotion I hold.
Your touch keeps my 
Truth
Hidden. Your kiss keeps these monsters
Inside at bay. There is 
No other way to catch. No other
Guide for my 
Imagination.
No other
Safety net. My
Inner heart, you balance.
Destroying disturbing
Ensembles 
Of cracked instruments playing in
Fortissississimo inside 
My
Every haunted hope....

There was a time when tennis players
Had to dress in white.
Appearing on the court in colors
Wouldn’t have been right.

But rules have changed and now we see
A medley of attire.
In fact, to be a fashion plate
Some players do aspire.

Both men and women choose to wear
Ensembles bright and bold.
A few stroll out in outfits
Rather shocking to behold.

Though some may yearn for former times
When whites were de rigueur,
To me, the freedom from those rules
Improves the court’s décor....

Great Aunt Maude had a bejeweled flair
With red and blue rhinestones in her hair
Black fluffy coat resembling grizzly bear
We could never outguess what she would wear

Her glitzy outfits were worn with care
Silver sequined gowns, shoulders often bare
She entices old men on the town square
All could easily be lured to her lair.

Other ensembles could never compare
Her collars glistening with fluffy hare
Other women enjoy newest cookware
Great Aunt Maude dressed exotic as Cher...
