Short J B Rhine Poems

Somewhere on the Rhine 
or the Rhone 
a harmonica,
Hohner,
plays a sad tune underneath a
watery moon or
is that the tears in my eyes?...

Place some fish
         on your dish,
'cause it can help your mind;
squeeze some lemon on it too;
just throw away the rhine.

mysterious Castle of Grootsinger
overseeing the sparkling Rhine
keeping dark secrets of lovers
housing rumors of mystique and espionage
I prance in gladly
caring not if I get out alive...

Wine
is fine
when I dine.
Some in the stein
can be very fine.
It is time to resign
when I can’t walk a straight line.
It comes from the Rhone or the Rhine.
The California stuff is most fine.

Feeling , sweet love, Flowing upon soul like rippling Rhine
and body is gonna pine 
I desire not to dine 
I live on her eyes, smile and wine
either to win her heart or to die and buried in her love's shrine...

Pencil thin Lenny from old Liechtenstein,
    Built a long skinny house near the Rhine,
               It was all that he need
                  Provided his feed
  Doesn't include cakes and desserts all the time....

A firkin of gherkins in brine
Were found floating along the Rhine
They, tossed from some party
For being too tarty
And spoiling the taste of the wine

Place some fish
  on your dish,
'cause it can help your mind;
squeeze some lemon on it too;
just throw away the rhine.
Now, don't postpone,
nor take too long
for a healthy meal like this,
has always been known ,
to make you very strong!

Three years of 'police action,'
Conducted according to 
The doctrine of 'limited war,'
In order to pursue 
A policy of 'containment.' 
Police action?
Containment?
Limited war?
Guess that’s why 
I don’t feel like Patton 
Pissing in the Rhine.
War is all hell.
Don't sugar coat it....

Tempted fruit too young to peel
Juicy in hormones ripe qith heat
A time has approached of the wild fruit
Farmers nourish but can't keep vines from growing
Roun' melons on high,
Bananas too long, apples intertwined between two colors
Shiny and dull, 
All over scented citrus peaks from its rhine...

I happened to see
   a reflection of me
in one of my sons
   in something he's done

Was I too so naïve?
   Does he really believe
he can change the whole world
   if he rolls up his sleeves

I yearned to tell him
   not to spend his time...
Then held my fool tongue
   ~ Let him cross his own Rhine...

GERMANY 


From Black Forest’s leafy velvet
Breathing fresh air over the land;
From the fertile earth of the sheltered Rhine,
Or where Goethe and Handel wrote their elegies;
From geest and damp marshes
Teeming rich with sea birds : 
From this ground rises a misty eulogy,
A breathy chorus of myriad murders....

Steampunk cat gentleman was dressed up at nine.
Dapper, distinguished, handsome, in every way fine.
You would make a fine date for any feline.
Said my aunt Tootsie, who lived in the Rhine.

Fifty years ago, she told him, I would have made you mine.
He jumped up and ran off, without a whimper or whine.
You scared him! Said her nieces, whose faces did shine.
Tootsie smirked at her joke, feeling happy and fine....

PORCUPINE
    
       ‘Spiny rodent Porcupine! 
        Tell me, Are you fine?’
     
     ‘Sure. Tough thorny spikes, all are mine.
      I can count from one to nine.

      I love blue sky and bright sunshine.
      With playful Porpoise, I always dine.

      I wish to go for cruise in river Rhine
      I walk free in the wood of Pine.

    I taste grapes from the yard Vine.
     Climbers are planted in a line.
