To ever grace a show biz locale

   For which voters 'fall' by the swarm...

I experienced an epiphany while gazing at the domain, 
That how verdant looks a cold snowy mountain. 

My eyes were popped out ,
for such an enthusing whereabout! 

The locale kept me rousing,
and surprisingly, 
I was thrilled to bits and tickled pink....

We drove to our house 
In a dusting of snow,
Surprising us all
With its sudden swift show.

We got out the shovels 
And cranked up the heat,
Then covered the deck chairs
To make things complete.

But meanwhile my sister,
A Florida gal,
Was about to go swim
In her too-hot locale....

The hearts of youth long to wander
Through streets of a foreign locale.
Pass the gates of Chinese temples
And row down Venetian canals. 

An unrelenting urge pulses through 
The Veins of youth who quickly move;
Place to place seeking distracting solace
From pressures they feel the need to prove....

She tried to outguess me. Thought she knew me.
She was an irritant like a tsetse fly.
I ran from her.
Glad I only see her every five years.
Finally realized I am not obligated to attend class reunions.
With a roomful of people I do not recognize
And have nothing in common with except for former locale....

Herkimer diamonds
Amethyst, rose, agate,
One of the most well known
Minerals on earth, occurring in every locale
Quartz countertops
Quartz crystals

Glorifying our rock hunting adventures
Coloring our world with beauty
Quartz, fantastic gift from God...

A rainy afternoon of television
But soon the change
will come
The wings of a jet 
   will bring me 
to a new locale
    Clouds will be my home
for several hours
Do you think that rainbows are something
to toy with?
A change is coming 
  Come, drink from the river with me. 
Our eyes meet 
   A couple of thousand milles away - I won't forget you...

written in an Indian form, abhanga

Lil Bo Peep found her sheep
in a lovely locale
singing Luther’s chorale -
Mighty Fortress.

She’d trailed their tails through town,
but sheep had found a church.
There she ended her search
musical rest.

Left - no longer bereft
refrains raised her morale;
this church, a cool corral
for shepherdess.

Boasting in perigee, this moon we seek to capture
Making love to lunar light	 
Basking in its generous rapture
Reach to touch a full moon so bright
Bestowing rare shadows to the night

Artistic endeavors inspired    
By a celestial rarity
Brightest of orbs admired
In each rural locale or city
Before its fickle glow fades without pity...

Spirit aglow
A Jew is Nobility
A King in a Castle
From his merry beard
 To each ritual tassel

In Sabbath regalia
Blessing sparkling wine
Of learned Discourse enamored,
 In delicacies enshrined

His Wife by his side
Beaming Approbation
His Children tender shoots  
 Bright sprouts of Creation

No matter the locale
The era, the clime
The Jew is the Master
 Of Sabbath's unfettered Time...

The child is the father
of the man, a motto
of the world at a time
a love of it before
and even since a time
past and immemorial
one thing to be recalled
a memory of how
such life went through the row
witting and changing as
if enough is the locale 
whose glowing light is it
recall that there were echoes
that nothing is strange but
perhaps, a new way or
if it is let well through
sound of sweet melody....
