pizzazz:
a zingy term
that implies flamboyance,
zeal and some zoo like behavior.  
flair-up!...

Prisoner of God's creative flamboyance,
I allow the wonders to guide my pen,
I overdose on beauty,
and kneel at the splendor of every sunrise....

delight of jade spring
pink perfumed mass profusion
sunbathing bronzed blooms

cardinal sings loud 
from his perch next to blue sky
reverberations

floral flamboyance
drawing the world's attention
the fresh, lovely days...

In peace love sows the farmers’ seed
In war he lets the brave heroes bleed
In balls and dances a flamboyance seen
In ghettos and cities a happy dancing serene
For love rules the rich the city and the poor 
For love is hope and hope is heaven...

efflorescence joy
rampage of blossoms and blooms
nature captivates

herbaceous border
singular walk of beauty
flamboyance relished

summer symphony
insects express happiness
flawless cyclic song

New Orleans
Great fanfare
Parades and festivities
Flamboyance
Glamorous exuberance
Vivid colors
Feathers and costumes
Strings of beads
Strewn everywhere
Loud blaring music
Frenzied partying 
Right on through to
Shrove Tuesday

O, what is pride

That we holdeth onto it.


‘Tis as dew naked in the sunlight,

A beautified bouquet, fresh trim’d,

A flame flickering in the roaring rain..


A mere feeble flamboyance;

That withers as swiftly as breeze through our fingers..


O, what is pride

That we holdeth onto it.

Cherry Blossom 

An ocean of pink and white 
Waves are her petal bed
A sprinkle of beauty
A gossamer spread

Untrammelled they fall
Down to kiss the ground 
Refinery"s best in show
Flutterdown everglow

Not by fluke was fondness captured
Lying luckily , eyes raptured
Twas here not by chance
Basking in her Flamboyance 

thank you...

Smokeless Climax

Ambivalence – her bittersweet response
to the arcane quiescence of the tactile
invisibility – the quintessence of the
intercessor’s immolation of her dreams
upon the luscious flamboyance
of his passion.

Comical Cat with his embellished top hat
Sat at the table with an ugly vampire bat
Along came a bee, all fluffy and phat.
We will be joined shortly by my friend, Freddy Gnat.

Do you like my burgundy ribbon? Asked the cat
Showing off his silky flamboyance, so shiny and fat.
Not as much as your bowtie, said Freddy the gnat.
Eyeing a small inviting hole in Comical Cat’s gorgeous hat....

A flamboyance gathered at the lagoon.
Wading patiently for their briny food.
The sun arrived to gently wake the earth. 
A warmth commenced to break night's curse...
All was quiet until the blue troupe stealthily arrived.
With blood and devils in their eyes...
The stalk quickly evolved into chase.
For its the will of brutes to 
snap the neck of grace...
A baboon king proudly struts about.
pink feathers lining its vicious mouth....

Like flies on a collision course
they fly in full flamboyance
headed for destruction
to everyone's annoyance.

Dropping in a constant stream
failing to arise
death has stung effectively
people of every age and size.

Heed is to be taken
of the time in which we live
an inventory should be taken
of what we take and who we give.

Our substance needs redeeming
from the scourges of sin
cleansing and redemption
with salvation must begin....

I was baptized with a sacred immunity; 
yours: the futile spearing
at my crocodile bone
at my rock-built shell!
it shall a sorry fate be:
as a melting terminal wind!
a toad journeys not at noon in vain, 
a tortoise was not made a sage in vain;
keep those flames of your laughters; 
keep your tears from me
& that load of rude flamboyance:
your tankers of majesty; 
keep them from my forge 
in keeping yourself safe! 
I am of the two worlds?...

Notes: 
Beta-carotenes make flamingos pink. Their diet largely consists of crustaceans and algae, which are rich in carotenoids. This pigment gives flamingos the hot pink or reddish coloration they are known for. (FACTS.net)
