Marcus Martialis
with epigrams was 'delish'
A clever satirist
in witty words did persist...

Grew to manhood on the river Tay,
Writing poems ,most every day;
Cinquains,epigrams,whigmaleerie-
His diary of a dying man,left
Telling observations, for all to see.

How slight
The petal of
A poppy,flowering-
So much like us,beautiful,yet
Fragile

Desire
welled within-
words became a promise
so sublime,to love now and for
all time.

Hurry
Takes its toll as
In our daily stroll,we
From deepest ruts of blind alleys
Quicken.

We had
met and conversed,
a rapport on first sight-
a chance meeting to a life's time
delight

The warmth
Of love's invite
Encompassed my desire,
In two soft whispered words of love,
Be mine !

Long days
Of August sun
Where nature blinks and shrinks
The dying grass,yellowed in sleep-
Held fast

Eyes closed
As lips caressed,
Mouths joined,impassioned
Tongues explore,in our love's embrace,
Time-framed

haiku seasons
frozen in epigrams 
tripping from a pen

shadows lengthen
chestnuts roast-
winter bides

catkins murmur
easter eggs-
spring tides

bluebells chime
wasps picnic-
summer stays

flower presses
fruit preserves-
autumn frays...

MY FONDEST MEMORY
My love
Beguiled me,with
Soft sensuous lips,sleek
Long thighs with rounded hips,twinned heart's
Enlaced

Life and Death Epigrams
It is not possible
refuse to die
or to live...!

live in leaps
and ravines, is a way
of living too...

not even death
give us rest
in life...

Death does not release us
from life...
the opposite is true
equally... !

Death is the mother of life,
life is spawn of death...
Divine plan!...

Happiness, Wants, Opportunity
Aphorisms, rather than EPIGRAMS (Choices are many in "forms of Poetry")

1. Happiness is not wanting to get what you dream of;
Happiness is wanting what you already HAVE now.

2. LISTEN. Always work on listening skills, for OPPORTUNITY often knocks very softly.

(DEO). shalom, shalom. ShalOM
(Ask me about why Jesus is so real to me, about SHALOM)....

A PURPOSE FILLED LIFE
Teach me O Lord,the wisdom of Your word,to praise as David praised
Maybe to suffer as with Job.To love as Solomon in his Song and to belong.
Guided by Proverbs, epigrams to employ and understand life as Ecclesiates,and will to will Your will. Yet come aside& in your arms be still.

A PURPOSE FILLED LIFE
Teach me O Lord,the wisdom of
Your word,to praise as David praised
Maybe to suffer as with Job.To love

Guided by Proverbs,epigrams to employ
and understand life as Ecclesiates,and
will to will Your will.And come aside&
in your arms be still.

CATS AND CATS
At night all the  male cats
they are gray and the female cats
suited to them ...

     OVERPOPULATION
The earth has 7 billion
inhabitants and plus those
the novelists and filmmakers
create ...

     MY DAUGHTER
She loves men as much as
the horses ... and have them on the short bridle
as you do in the trot ...


  PS my adaptations to the epigrams
  from my friend the french poet
Barbara Botton...

Epigram 1

If you see a man in the park
Looking up to the sky, ignore him.
He is most likely a poet 
Lost in the labyrinth of words. 


Epigram2
Do not assume the man in the park
Dressed in a woolly overcoat and
Laughing like he is looking into 
A kaleidoscope is necessarily a poet. 


Epigram 3
If you see a man in a café writing 
Something in his note pad, he is
 Most likely an accountant late for 
Work, evaluating his excuses....
