Decisions made on a whim
Is crucially done

Ten tickets
score one ferris-ride
two corn dogs
three guesses
and four freak shows.  It lasts 'til
the fat lady sings....

PRACTICAL    LOVE



He caresses her tress

She presses her dress

He guesses her stress

She addresses his lustiness...

My arms branch out wide
    
                     to reach over regrets

                                         and reservations......

Charades is a game where one guesses
The favourite things that she blesses
A flower to see?
Simply pee on knee
And the hostess cleans up the messes?...

My twin and I
New vocabulary
Bit too big for Christmas stocking
A 1950’s game for family use
Crazy guesses extremely fun
Inspired much laughter
I still love it

Which one is the impatient belly dancer? My friend hissed.
I do not like it when he gets close to my ear like this.
Look at their mouths, I told him. 
He made about six guesses.
No wonder he has had six wives....

What will I write next, I'll give you a few guesses
Problem is, none of 'em count, may you cause distresses
This guy don't know either
What if I give you a fiver
Will that do the trick or will this quiz mess your tresses ...

The Tinsil

Tinsil,
I will.

Deeply,
Brightly.

Colours,
Flowers.

Strands meshed,
Refreshed.

Sizes,
Guises.

Splashed on,
Neurone.

Happy,
Sparkly.

Whole house,
Fast mouse.

Dresses,
Guesses.

Repost,
The toast....

Rocket ship boogie.
Earth dwellers watch
Through unwashed beards.

What are they doing? One asks.
Bees? Another guesses.

No one dances around like this
Without a bee down their shirt,
Right?

It is always fun to watch
Rocket ship boogie....

i wonder if the silence feels ever lonely,
if it guesses the lost of the irreversible,
if unsaid words are hurting it...
darling, what are you thinking about?
- let me guess:
you dance around an alien thought.
you miss that 'being' of a single heart beating
that stole us from the seconds...

Just sing along, resting thought flow
Let go of lower mind
Truth known, in tranquil stillness slow
Free of fetters that bind

We are here now, alive
To music divine, jive
Ceasing to weigh and size

Guesses are wrong
Just sing along

What does he want? Pierre asks Jacques.
A taste of wine?
A bit of brie?
A tiny croissant perhaps?
Jacques guesses come as fast as abc.
This phantom monster of New York opens up his teeth.
The champagne pops, and the cork goes up, and down, and now beneath.
T-rex gulps, satisfied, and waddles away, with a swish and a glide....

Have you ever put sums monies 
in a wishing well 
I have a couple of times and
Then I thought well 
instead of wavering and dropping guesses wishes
arising the spells
 I would rather just fall on my knees
 and just pray
Alas no-more-wishing no more throwing panties away I just try to fall on my knees and always PRAY ...

You see the sunlight amongst the scree
There was a man 
who couldn't tell me anything
Where there was once the comfort
of the evenings telegraph line
he runs wild amongst shops turned into flatlets
Keep on a straight line
he has changed his mind
where once basson roamed
he guesses himself unfree
fortitude follows the wind

O, woe is us
  we need a wizard
to extract us
  from the blizzard

of issues that
  divide our nation
race, abortion, crime
  and immigration

not to mention COVID and taxes
  China, Russia, and the 'Evil Axis'

Wait! Stop! Hold the presses!
  We don't want magic guesses

A wizard's just not the right guy
  What we need is ~ 'Executive AI'...

echoed voices, thoughts, perceptions,
of everyone elses logical guesses,
God's love speaking word filters the heart,
and places us in spirit, we're never truly apart,
faith can stand strong without perception to see,
because HIS love overpowers what our eyes think we see,
in a world where sometimes opposites can truly look the same,
just journeyed through the heart in a different way....

The life light shimmers in the air
Love and delights

Death and pain
Drowsy in numbness

The leaves have never known
Embalmed darkness with grief

Cold winter is coming soon
Silver bells and white snow

Stardust, northern lights and moonlight
While wonder and guesses

World surrounding the small wonder
Dreams of innocent presents
Careless life of childhood
Little socks spread fun

Precious socks treasured all
Hope speaking every second
Expectations in eyes
Love so pure of child

Stockings woven pure pleasure
Guesses diving deep and high
As if world is enclosed
Ecstasy forever

puzzles puzzles
they write in rhyme 
encrypted messages
poisoned in hate
guesses in the dark
surmising
unable to say the truth
denying
hiding
play nice
yet still
there is the knife
Friendship taken for more
what awful gore
innuendos galore

the truth is out
read the encryptions
read the lines
following suit
following suit
this message
will self destruct

Celtic through and through
Irish from her tip to her toe
Ginger haired with verdent eyes
Her face is the map of Ireland

She must be from Dublin one guesses.
Another thinks she walked out of a rainbow.
She’s reputed to have lived with leprechauns.
The girl smiles to herself.

Being British and German, she feels smug
Because she has pulled a trick
on a shamrock maker
and the governor of Cork....

Lions, dolphins, hummingbirds and kangaroos
They have lots of things in common 
Guesses please….
They are all animals. Yes.
They are alive. We hope.
They are all mobile. Uh-huh.
They have two eyes.  Good.
Long pause….
They are…
Um…
They….
Anything else?
I give up.
They are all on money somewhere.
Lions in South Africa,
Dolphins in Iceland.
Hummingbirds in Brazil,
and kangaroos in Australia....
