Limerick : Once this Wily Woman from Franco’s Spain – 5

Now this Wily Woman from Franco’s Spain
Pumped hard to become Free-Maisons’ Main Drain.
Only thing left to win :
Marianne* in dung-bin –
National Assembly long lock-jawed – slain !

ENGLAND
     evergreen
     temperate
shore washed,gulf stream

     changeable
     daily,song
four seasons long

that never last...
     traditions
     of the past,
its global stage
     a language...
     mongrel bred

      left unsaid,
     with reserve,
in bonded word

when I buy pictures,
     or better yet
     from a book,
or see upon the internet

imagery is all to me,
     colour maybe
     all,that I see
         frequently;undone

     by impressions
     abstractions eye
         extract expressions..

Limerick : Then this Wily Woman from Franco’s Spain – 4

Then this Wily Woman from Franco’s Spain
Married a divorcee and put Church in chain
There, she said : « Me ? Married ! »
Here, she said : « Me ? Curried ! »
Free-Maisons dubbed her : Saint Marianne* Brain !

people say
"She is very beautiful"
"She is very sincere and honest"
"She is very trustworthy and
                    loving and
                    and never loses hope"
"she doesn't love money, but
she is good at saving money"
but I have never
                        like everyone else
my love, her, Marianne, like that
like other people....

My Angel is a woman with red hair and beautiful green eyes.
 With a smile brighter then the starry skies.

My Angel gave me a great surprise.

When I found out that she's the devil in disguise.

But see, I like it and that's the good part.

Cause see, My Angel has stolen my heart.

I've fallen for her, but I'm only a man.

For I'm a sucker for a girl named Marianne!...

Marianne's Poem

Marianne, I want you to know, you'll always be in my heart.

You had my heart right from the very start, and, through our ups and downs, my heart was always yours.

I love you more then words could ever express, and, I hope you can feel my love all the way up in heaven.

Marianne, you are, and, always will be my best friend, and, I hope to be able to see you again, someday...

In a bleak mid-winter
just twenty-five years ago
       a stranger I came to know,
       this peace began to show.
In a bleak mid-winter       
       Jesus I came to know,
some twenty-five years ago,
shalom began to glow.
        Free to be,the real me
        sensitivity to show,
mid-winter, twenty-five years ago     

My favourite carol (by Christina Rossetti),personalised,inspired by Debbie's contest, and after syllabic style of Marianne Moore...

Silence
Light is speech.    the mind
an enchanting thing
picking and choosing.
Our past becomes present
consequences.
Modesty may,might nay must
overcome envy.
Retreat propriety,
rescued by the disposition of angels
in pedantic literalism.
A distrust of merits, style &connoisseurs.
prisnmatic colours,hyphens &lines.
Nonchalance,in lieu
efforts of affection ,interacting with
apparations of splendour.
Sleep

Inspired by the works of Marianne Moore...

My Heart, My Soul

You rescued me 
Adrift with no center, 
No anchor for my heart
No shelter for my soul

You embrace me
Love’s warm blanket 
So caressing my heart 
So caressing my soul

You encourage me
As lover, partner, friend
So uplifting my heart 
So uplifting my soul

You love me
Like no other has
So much love in my heart 
So much love in my soul

You are truly My heart, My soul

For my Love Marianne

without a rocking-chair in sight
ol' Tam or Tom rules the roost
guarding henhouse since the fox lit out
and the door fell off its hinges

'n' all the hens cackle nervously about
wondering what tale to tell will
Felis catus softly howl tonight
to lull them nestling to defenseless

Marianne (werefkin)
a self portrait
to look back on-
from days long gone
Croupier (de la tour)
bonne chance
in love perchance
Georgia
on my mind
in close-up art
of abstract flower parts
Cookmaid
Bacon's simple scullery maid
with all her beauty displayed
Shrimp girl
another arrow to  his quiver
hogarth's lass near the river
Flora (kaulbach)
here+there,flowers everywhere
except,in her hair

Love story in 25 words
By Moonbeam 

Note: This is not a poem by WinkofHeart (aka Brett Somers) 
I'm posting this poem for a friend of mine, Marianne Walther aka Moonbeam to help her share her voice with the world.  Please comment on this poem encouraging her to open her own PoetrySoup account. 


We talked for hours.
your eyes 
turned my brain
into hot pudding.

you left me only
your voice by telephone.

then nothing......

only hot pudding....
