It takes a snake’s forked tongue to kiss and tell

shoots
        of elder
clusters of laurel
          in leaf,
fading lilies
       slowly die:
decorative
in rustic pose
               become
the colour
            of dust...

On a Sunday in July
The meadow will sing of sage,
And laurel will rise purple
When I am strolling through the woodland.

LAUREL was a man with not much class
And HARDY was known as a pompous ass
Stan can’t keep his big mouth shut
Ollie would strike a stinging cut

Passions Flower

Hibiscus
no wall-flower you.
Nor Nosegay laurel.
Not wormwood at virgin’s-bower.
So sweet William 
seeing Venus’s looking-glass
discovers a Passion-flower....

White hair, Gray hair, even No hair at all
some call it "The Crown of Age" 
an imaginary but fixed laurel wreath for life

But, what is there actually under the "Victory Crown"?
in most lives, a sure sign of previous battles lost, 
no more....

Nebulously noble nimbus negotiating Nirvana 
Gentle, genuine, generous, giant genetic genius 
Elegant, exuberant, exquisite, ethereal ecstasy
Likable lovable laudable laurel liberty league

Glimpse

I wander in the wild-wood 
where Leap, my dog, would play; 
rest upon some grassy bank 
where I with Megan lay. 
Time you thief who stole my life, 
the years go like a day. 
Leap lies beneath the laurel, 
my Megan went away.

Laurel and Hardy

Hey LAUREL, you better stop getting me in trouble
But HARDY just trying to catch the bubbles
Stop waving your dang arms
But I can’t catch that farm
You’re getting me in double bubbles of trouble.

Other regiments regiment.
Line fighters scuffle.
Different regiments suspect.
Individual encounters intersect.
Equivalent resistances strike.
Regular troops recruit

Politicians Love Their Each Laurel

Not only do politicians love each laurel,
Their responses seem to sound choral,


And impacts on us have been immortal.

Jim Horn

Gads. It is becoming more difficult to
write poems everyday. Trump is having
quite an impact on me....
