Fury with a smoky tail
Eddies of destruction
Deceitful beauty, enchanting danger
Death sporting a makeover...

The true beauty 
Of the butterfly lies not
In the iridescence of its wondrous wings
But in the sheer fact that it survived
Its extreme makeover....

He stole a new dress from a shop
And wig that was like an old mop,
As his make up was bad,
He resembled the mad -
This ‘miss’ was a bit of a flop.

shifts baton of awareness to the heart,

whereupon we feel bliss ignition start,

The magic gem of curly hair,
Procures itself in sodden downpour.
Frizz retracts and curls define,
Revitalised by heaven's moisture.
No brolly required.
No wind-swept locks.
A long-awaited makeover,
Of the most natural kind.

We're glad the baseball season is over.
For Mariner fans, no fields of clover.
Won half as many as we lost.
Tickets too high at half the cost.
Next season look for a big makeover.

FIELDS

Ploughed and turned over, the field respects the annual makeover. Not just to support another season of growth, but to remain fertile and welcoming, come rain or shine. It shows its face to the sky and smiles.

The earth tries to breathe
Deep soil moves ever slowly
Yielding more new life

moonlit shadows springs
   eternal flame loves desire
   unquenched forever

   3/ 4/ 2015.      Haiku.

   Springtimes moon shadows dreams inspire.
   Eternal flight flames loves desire.
   Unquenched divine forever bright.
   Starlight enchants, beams with delight.

Making new clothes
Sewing chilies
Ironing out problems today
Tonight washing tears away
Cooking up a quarrel
Fomenting confusion
And building discord

Come and see how
Things can change
In a moment 
When you concentrate 
Bake up goodness
Except use goodwill
Strengthen your resolve
To love your brother
Still....

Look, Springtime has come! 
Oh! Hear the bees hum
And the cool breeze thrum! 
The birds are singing, 
Back to life bringing
colourful flowers, 
blooming with powers, 
How Spring empowers! 

Squirrels are jumping, 
My blood is pumping, 
watching them bumping, 
Winter is over, 
I see the clover, 
Nature's makeover! 
No more snow clinging, 
New life is Springing!!

heaven knows we need more competition
I say we move to hell and give it a makeover

we kick out the devil 
and hang up our “new management under” sign

we replace fire and brimstone
with never ending happy hour

we invite all the angels and saints
to our nightly hell raising celebrity kickoff party

finally, we put little green bouncers at the gates 
and make everyone wait a lifetime...

Have you had enough of childish lies
and incompetent response?
Have you bathed in toxic manhood
until you long for nuance?
Are we going to save this planet?
Or will we all move somewhere else?

Will we turn our eyes toward justice
or become a failed police state?
I propose a national "makeover"
a new "US" to change our fate.
You adults will have to do this -
I only hope it's not too late....

hostile takeover;
corporate makeover...
ain't it funny 
how you slave 
for money; 
somebody
help me!
i'm struggling; 
blind and barefoot
in a dog sh!t 
mine field... 
it's like that 
lottery ticket 
that you lost... damn. 
million dollar napkin
blowing in the wind;
like the answer my friend;
breathe revolution; 
re-invent institution; 
over throw old people; 
do you remember democracy?
before it met hypocrisy... 
you'd have to be older then me...

On Thursday you're a valued employee
  on Friday you're shown the door

Last week you worked for a company
  that today exists no more

It's a corporate takeover
  a brutal, hostile makeover

Your heart tosses, turns and aches over
  the coals your efforts get raked over

A voice deep within gnaws at your skin
  The pit of your stomach a knot of chagrin 

  ~ Why is it always like this, for God's sake,
                       quake over 
             earth-shattering quake-over?...
