Premium Member you are exquisite

voluptuous Virginia
what a quintessential Rubenesque figure
no one has the right to look this gorgeous
in jaunty hat and bridal gown, you, dear, are exquisite


Frosty the Snowman

Frosty the Snowman wore a jaunty hat,
He danced on the lawn and tipped his old cat.
He said, “I will melt, but not today!”
Then he slid down the hill, or so they say.

turquoise tambourine tingling around
a sassy scintillating silvery sexy sound
jaunty jubilant dancer leaping from the ground
queen of the jazz festival, she is quickly crowned

Premium Member Jester

Jaunty little fellow,
Joker for kings and queens.
Jolly bells on hat, shoes,
Jingle with his movements:
Jumping, dancing, bowing.
Jabs fun at all he can,
Jovial trickster man.

Roadrunner, desert sprite so fleet,
left Wile E. Coyote in perpetual defeat.
No trap could catch that blur of speed ~
he just zipped past shouting his jaunty beep, beep.

Sparrows

A jaunty flutter leaps from a precipice of air. An ounce of bliss and fear fixed upon a needful moment. Common little sight, sparrow bright, sparrow blinking in and out.

Premium Member Betty and her Burly Bear

Buxomly bright Betty and her beige burly bear
Bounced through their days with nary a care
Expecting no special treatment, but it was there
Because they both were enjoyable with a jaunty air.

Fallen Star and Bad Penny

The fallen star
She lay sad and forlorn
Missing her home
In the vault of heaven
Never to be able to return

The bad penny
Came rolling down
Jaunty in his gait
To his same old station
Ever to be able to return

Premium Member dancy prancy burly bear

dancy prancy burly bear
shaking his booty in the air
playing bluesy jazz music fit for a king
thank goodness he did not whistle or sing
the crowd was clapping hard in over time
humming a jaunty tune, a perfect rhyme.

Premium Member youngest leprechaun intern

Youngest leprechaun intern was a mere boy of eleven
He was tiny though, did not look much older than seven.
Had a wide smile, and a jaunty way about him, was fun too.
He will do, the leprechauns of old said, Oh, yes, he will do!

My Special Someone

My special someone
Throws kisses to the wind's sweet song
And rides life's jaunty waves
My adored one
Oh, how I his sweet kiss crave
In longing for him I sing lone nights long
My ever devoted one
He says our love will never 'er go wrong

Premium Member Reincarnated Blue Tulip--

The blue tulip has died- -
Jaunty jealousy
a blue murder mystery
something has dried up?
It’s not done this way
after the burial done
coming back as a flower?

On the Beat of Your Voice

Do you have an idea ..
How on the beat of your voice,
The morning become tender 
And extend over and over Here ..?!
And how  the horizon  extend,  
And the spikes bend ..
On the beat of your voice..
And the rain..
Flaking , shy, sedate, jaunty ..?!

The Dik-Dik's Dilemma

The Dik-Dik is an antelope
Who longs to be a misanthrope

But since he “pronks”, instead of lopes,
He doesn’t really have a hope …





* “Pronk” is the name of the dik-dik’s jaunty little bounce when he runs.
 It is an Afrikaans description.

Losers' Lament

Swallowing hard the slain,
Gritting teeth like  gnats;
Toss your card nonchalantly and move.
Even if your ears ring like bells;
Don’t get the hernia over it,
Frothing wont smoothen the slit.
The bait has died out;
For neon thighs come with a jaunty cough.
