Short Locales Poems

here we are this morning, in Australia
God plays no favourites, we see
the same magnetism pervades the air here

realms, domains, locales change
ephemeral phenomena is but smoke 
the unchanging noumena eternal...

I grew this big thing to impress the gals
I knew that it would get back to my pals,
saw the jealousy coming
but I just keep on humming...
finding Narwhal love in many locales.

'My thoughts are with you'
      What does that mean
   Can we send our mind's notions
      to locales we've not been

   Yet I feel we can

octave of forty words

Forty years - man and wife
long time friends celebrate life
on holiday, pure pleasure bound

river bends and mountain peaks,

Why can't I write a poem
    'bout every shade of color
   kaleidoscope sunsets and brilliant blooms 
     Why's my imagery so much duller ... 

  Why can't I write a poem 
    'bout steamy love affairs
  where breathless paramours explore
    locales no eagle dares ...

during our yesteryears
we made no appointment 
to catch up our close friends
their doors were always open
friendly warm smiles greeted us
whenever we walked into their home

when plans are made
mostly at outside locales
the conversations guarded
idle banter, wit but less warmth 
leaving heart feeling hollow inside

now there’s no such thing
as a 3am trusty friend
life as we knew it
has collapsed
