        At the haberdashery and milliner’s
            insouciance on display

        Models’ eyes as cold as ice
            about to ruin your day

Premium Member Feisty Fall

Crisp metamorphosis of color
Tempestuous leaves tap dance on
Tangled wind's insouciance
Wayward sun's scarlet wink
Feckless orange flirts
Fey cinnamon
Coyly bold
Feisty
Fall.

Screaming til my face collapsed, broken arrow’s here called 
     Dear God she’s so beautiful, a cascading insouciance befalls 
             Forensics yeah they’ll differ, no doubt say, it was inhumane
     I don’t give a fig leaf, as the daisy cutter obliterates my pain

teetering the streets early morning dawn
as I left the swagger at the bar guzzling beers
I encountered the devil

the butt of a gun stopped the fun of insouciance
as for ever four metal plates in the face
not deter day or night the walk of evil

for the what not of few dollars in a pocket
an attempt at a slot to produce more
and the debit keeping its pin from you I smile still

SOMEWHERE IN-BETWEEN

sliced strawberries in fridge
crisp reminder of delicious spring ~
somewhere in-between
winter and summer.

Georgia peaches camouflage red -
southern belle,
can’t make up her mind.
she’s filling up her dance card
a different season each 24/7.

our winter’s in deep freeze,
solid cube of in-between
sweaters shrug
with insouciance.

I Fret the Holiday Season

I Fret the Holiday Season

I invited it in:
insipid, insidious 
holiday hoopla;
and now rue 
my indolent heart
As time escapes
I inveigh aloud 
a tirade of syllables 
that berate my 
immutable, 
irascible self

I pine for insouciance,
iniquitously doled 
to some
not to others,
and wear the  ignominious 
crown, self-bestowed 
upon my head:
“Intransigent Queen.” 

I’ve only myself to blame.

No Supper

No Supper

Round as a planet, dark as the galaxy
the interior looked like the last battle in Verdun
the early spring of 1914.
It had been a healthy preparation of carrots, beans
turnips, potatoes and meat.
Scorched earth tactic nothing was salvageable.
There had been warnings but human insouciance
ignored the smell emitting filling rooms 
with the bitterness of a failed supper.
The last question is, can the frying pan be saved?
