French sayings sound debonair
Faerie language is my fave.
Words dance in the twilight air....

People exploring it are quite brave
Four hundred miles
Giving them trials
Exploring her passages is a fave....

to the lake all his friends led the way.
They said “Come, make it snappy
‘cause to make your day happy
we’ve ordered your fave take-away”...

of Fall—hey,
I love the way
I feel today

One who's close enough to be his kissin'

Hearing tales of wizards,
I dream to be a one,
Having wand of my own,
Being a master of  spells,
Having guts of a fighter,
Ah! Harry, my fave,
Just like you.

Writing poems in the algorithmic sands
Washed away by rippling waves on unseen sands
hoping in my drowning one will save me
Or at least a kindly reader someday “fave” me.

squirrel dressed up like the count is mighty fine.
She runs door to door, loving it when she is next in line.
Candy comes in so many flavors, snickers is her fave.
She picks out all of the nuts, which make her happily rave...

My all-time favorite books include Christmas in some way
Santa Claus, Jesus, North Pole and candy canes dancing away
Frosty and Jack Frost are on the fringe of my utmost fave.
Christmas messages, stories and songs are what I crave....

Rock is still allowed,
Yong and old so proud,
Teen queens and studs,
Shocking olden fuds,
To old rockers, we wave,
From our youth, a fave,
Every age of yore,
Will blame those before,
No limits on rock today,
You still rocking, USA?...

We mark
as favourite,
poems that stir our soul,
hoping to rekindle the flame,
perhaps another day, another time
but more oft than not, we do not
cross the same river twice,
forgetting what
we mark.

Ah, this is everyday bliss,
Fave author's new book, a kiss!
There are some people like me,
Who read the end first, tee hee!
Then unfold the plot's mystery,
In my book nook for literacy,
Daily reading time is bliss,
Open a new book, do I kiss?...

So, you want that ring?
For you, a potion in Spring,
One dead spider, can of fizz,
Boil with roses, no need to tizz,
Cool and sip, O ruby lips,
Bewitch that man, O shapely hips,
This is the right cauldron, my fave,
My witch's parlor will be your save!...

My uncle died today
I don't know what to say
He was my fave.

Full of vim and vigor
Didn't need gun and a trigger
To have his say.

Slightly misogynist
But ain't the best of us
Flawed in some way?

I'll miss Abbott.
Has been my habit
To love him every single day....

If thorns sometimes condense

In the cloud- so thick

In chest sprouts a balmy breeze

This is Australia Day!
Home of the free,
Because of the brave,
Off to save Democracy,
Because of the brave,
One big melting pot for thee,
Because of the brave,

Our personal fave,
Home of the free,
Because of the brave,
This is Australia Day!...

Shakespearean’s my fave.
Specific rules apply.
Stick with iambic feet.
Syllables? Ten per line
Standards say three quatrains.
See rules for how they rhyme!
Summarize with couplet.

Once upon a time walnuts were my fave
So tasty and terrific
But canker sores galore

Hey hazelnuts might taste lovely I thought
So I put them in coffee
And promptly stopped breathing

Thank God peanut butter does not hurt me
If I had to give it up
I would jump off a bridge...

The most rejuvenating one -
Fresh threshold to hot summer fun.
Blossom and bloom to awesome new,
Coincidence, my birthday too.
Goddess of Growth, this time - her fave,
The force of May's destined to save. 
No wonder it stands for Mayday
Majestic month, my final say!
