pleasant jaunt
the invisible line I cross
and lose an hour
           ~
symmetry of curve
the face of beauty...

I skip and jaunt so
across the pond tippy-toe
wetted I be soaked

A by-the-whim jaunt, chance 
journey – overmuch, unplanned, 
halfwitted? – spontaneous electrifying 
possibilities overblossoming ultrathundering
magnabravissimos!...

Once was thunderbox in the yard,
Night time trips were really hard,
Scary jaunt to our exterior loo,
It had spiders in there too,
Now there are indoor ablutions,
Praise God for sewer evolution....

At times love making is like an avalaunch
But I say it's like a day at the park for a jaunt
Who's this guy kidding
As bits of flesh I'd be nipping
At the slightest glimpse of bits you do flaunt...

Journeys

Juicy kisses goodbye, 
joyful hugs say “Hi.” A
jaunt for just a day or
junket for far away.
Jets above us fly to
join friends by and by as
jovial times are nigh.

Jeer, farcical cheer
Jive, cheer to sneer
Jest, barb to test
Pun, jest for fun
Joke, fun to poke
Jab, poke to grab
Joust, jabs that roust
Jibe, taunting vibe
Josh, vibe to squash 
Jolt, tingling volt
Jaunt, volting flaunt...

All birds can’t drink everything flamingoes gulp. 
Hawks inconsequentially jaunt kilometers.
 Loutish macaws never oblige parrots. 
Quail run several trails under vines. 
White xerophytes yield zenithal albatrosses.

Join together in packs
Journey in Africa
Jaunt as prowling wolves and
jabber like little dogs
Jaws grip prey like a vice
Jugular bites will kill
Jolting Willis movie

if time travel 
was possible  
if someone 
invented a time machine
would steal it to 
take a quick jaunt
into the past 
three years ago to be exact 
to a time before 
the estrangement 
to forewarn my past self 
of the emotional danger to come...

Books are
Good company
A rainy day's refuge
Filled with the brave bold and craven
Landscapes and seascapes imbued with drama
A blithe jaunt with a thousand laughs
A blissful excursion
My best of friends
Books are

            This jaunt
       me myself and I
        did experience

        the fire works
 the dancing we did for 
     five straight days
             daze

    the food and red
the exotic women filled
        mine bed 

The smile on my face
        this jaunt

   in the poets head...

 I am at the midst;
A the way she so insist;
Adrift your sarcasms;
This jaunt reaction;
I’m sorely displeased;
On how you verbally abuse me;

Alas you’re not raising a baby;
I’m a grown man,  I know what I am;

Tonight 

I rediscovered 

Boulevard of Broken 

Dreams on a jaunt through 

Glasgow’s October-lit streets. Rain 

drippin’ off chin. Momentarily wishing 

I was more like I was back then. Funny how 

I’m now bolder to touch. This strange & honeyed  

melancholia…. how it grins already for each tomorrow....

Jump into your car or hop aboard a plane or train.
Allow yourself some fun! Even one weekend will do.
Unburden yourself of stress. Life can feel brand new
Near the ocean, inside the city or around unusual terrain.
Tell me though that I will be the one to tag along with you!...

[winked the passerby
  kissing a ghost only
  seen by jaunt eyes]

below
Soul to Soul in heaven
body to body in mud
teens teaming furnace
creating new suns
ate the worm-word
killing the mind
of a poet/became a
butterfly of indescribable
color\kissing for the first
time is bigger than the
nuclear bomb.

Red as the sunset is to behold
And as the moon eerily illuminates a dark night
In that moment all thoughts fall asunder
Never was ever beauty thus lived
Days and nights then seem to halt
Roses blossom and flowers crane to glimpse
Of the masterpiece of Gods creation
Passing by with that awesome jaunt
So me, so us, of your elegance we behold...

My eyes tear up
As the frigid wind blows
encrusting my cheeks
and my snotcicle nose

Hands in my pockets
Strait legged jaunt
Skin touching pant leg
Is not what I want

Each morning like night time
The sun must be stuck
I curse at the climate 
As I pre start my truck

My neck hairs all dancing
To chattering molars
I understand winter
But this crap is polar...

Nonchalant so Debonair that I do not care;
If I barter if I dare;
Well I've got what I've shared;
Nonchalant it's what I've got;
And went to the table and sat;
As if nothing has went on here;
I just don't care...
It's what I want;
Thus , my reaction my reasoning jaunt;
Just for acting nonchalant;

Do we really want  that patriarchy,
or all that malarkey with matriarchy?
What we need are guys and gals, 
gals and gals and guys and guys,
who share the task of daily love,
the loving struggle, the daily shove:

But the world’s so foolish, not just a stage,
to jaunt and play on night and day,
whatever “archy” mal, or pat, or  mat
we choose, let’s not loose our loving crews....

There’s a line of flapping, red-starred flags,
they wag their rags, as dogs wag their tails,
when the master’s home;

and the summer wind  taunts their linen
crease;  then takes them on a merry jaunt,
a widow’s pooch, in heat.

And up above the red-devilled street, a
dipping, flipping, swift-filled, livid high;

counts flags, dogs and masters, sighing 
swifts and bleeding sky....

PEARLS OF PERPETUITY 

Memorable jaunt, one never to daunt.
Returned very gaunt, yet pearls she doth vaunt.
Pallor didn’t want. Now spectre doth haunt.

Calligraphy font of eccentric aunt.
Executor chaunt - ridiculous flaunt.
Niece struts pearls to taunt - doppelgänger wont.

A night endows in poetic lull of waxing moon
A nightingale tunes in cool of summer June
Flickering good-bye in midst of shrubs' shadow,
Fireflies scramble off filling open-air jaunt tow
Through scarlet gauzy of light and odor of myrrh
One lone firefly gracefulness, a beacon of glamour
upon steeple leaf as it appears in utter darkness
Each blink of light adrift    then gone in the blackness
