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....

jamming still to the hits

jaunty and sad burst forth 
jump up~~punch in your fave...

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....

Jaunty tunes fill the room
Johnny B. Goode with Chuck
Jumpin' Jack Flash with Mick

John Lennon twists and shouts
Jitterbug all night long...

     With the wind in jaunty piles
     Of crisp rustling glee

      The wind hide in playfull soft

I say a jaunty 'Good morning, Mr. O'Leary'
    but my he-neighbor-next-door is now a she

    'Isn't America a great country?' ~ We have a choice!'...

Rustling red leaves harmonize
Nature's choir practice rocks

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...

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
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...

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?

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 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....

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....

The crocus blooms with jaunty arms
as cells launch spells to quell all harms.

Unforgiving ecologies
spark tough bark with staunch energies

undaunted by brittle terror
since life and strife fill the bearer

with pain made bold by creation
to hold such gold in elation....

in a barnyard pen sits a happy hog
bullfrogs in a blizzard bog
dense and daring grayish fog
a curious machine with a metal cog
a summertime yip from a happy dog
going on a jaunty jubilant jog
black ants sliding on a wet log
chef includes New Years eve eggnog
love to rhyme hog fog bog cog and dog...

Dutifully I sit at my dusty desk at dusk
Make magic from the musty mess I must
Fingers fidgeting fighting flight
Thoughts thinking a thousand thoughtless things
Suddenly something sublime sounds
Verily visions of verse vacillate
Jabbering joyously jaunty jumbled jargon
Sabotaging something so salacious...
