US poet Robert Bly
brought Neruda's verse to the public eye
His himself with poetry 'politique'

prime rib and bacon, waltzing
Nutcracker taters
Tchaikovsky suite crescendo
fork and knife tenderizing

lambast us baby!
strut your bombastic vocals!
forever..... your stage
-tribute to Freddie Mercury.....from stage-left, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 1977
Those darn ICE agents in Minnesota!
They don't have a clue! Not one iota!
For once, just take some advice:
the U.S. needs to de-ICE
and please drop your deportation quota!
Stitch ran to Minnesota to enjoy Halloween
He had heard he might find the Pumpkin Queen
She was nowhere in sight, but he got to see
A little snow, which never happens in Hawaii.
Monday night in my blue flesh
Shouldn’t complain it’s cold
Minnesota will be much crueler
and much warmer too
cozied up with the grandson crew
and their cockapoo

endless snow
is this minnesota?
makes me think of Laura Ingalls Wilders stories
of the hard winters
so I get out my books and lose myself again
in my childhood
a good winter dream

we are one people!
earth belongs to all people!
equal rights for all!
Tribute to Hubert Humphrey, from my great State of Minnesota....I shook his hand once.
(my 350th poem on the soup!)
A little girl from Minnesota.
Got filled up on chocolate soda.
She cried to her mummy.
I hurt in my tummy.
Mum said, I think you've had your quota.

Rorie the rock star mouse ordered a big electric guitar
He was in a band in Wisconsin, but was Minnesota far?
Many begged him to join them, was one band enough?
Rorie’s head exploded with pride, he felt like hot stuff.
Happy as a Songbird
days of hard rain fell
yellow tinged silence followed
birds rejoiced in song
....couple weeks ago, it rained hard for days here in Minnesota,
movement ceased for a few days...then life renewed!
Remembering the long walK of MinnesotA
Even in silence, our stEps fleed from HelL
Nothing was said, sInging just like a beE
Each loss taught me how To love without refleX
Eternally, I will listen to you Heartfelt in every step
Her pink house boat is the talk of the folks of Minnesota Bay
Some of the delighted women of Minneapolis said, “hey! hey!”
I think it might be too girly, said her brother Billie Bee Boy.
But it gives lots of us a feeling of happiness, bringing us joy
seeking warmth of blanket
and sun, Minnesota coated
with snow and ice. cockapoo
paws the window, stretches
near the door…raucous barks
at footfall on the front porch.

mixed bag of misgivings misconstrued Mrs. Mulligan’s miscomprehensions misunderstood. Miserable Mrs. M. mistrusted Minnesota moderators’ misuse of mockery and mimicry. Monkeyshine mix up, monopolized moronic mood, a monumental mortiferous mistake made by many.
Blizzard of seventy-eight
Paralyzed USA’s middle state of Indiana
Not as awful as the great blizzard of 1888
Which dropped fifty inches of snow in three days
Even blizzard alley
Minnesota, North and South Dakota
Did not suffer from these two record
Monster blizzards
I am beginning to wonder about Trump. Every candidate
should have to take the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality
Inventory (MMPI), Wechsler Bellevue, Stanford Benet,
Miller Analogies and Kuder Interest Test. This would prove
just how normal each one of the candidates are.

Two frisky kits
Enjoying each other
About the same size
Being watched by their mother
I used a telescopic lens
For I did not want to get carried away
By a super protective mother
Who might have chased me far that day
The kids had no idea
They are being photographed
I secretly named them
Minnesota and McRaft
angry inhale deep
venting smoldering tantrum
animals fleeing

Mount St. Helens in Washington erupts, causing a massive avalanche and killing 57 people on this day in 1980. Ash from the volcanic eruption fell as far away as Minnesota.
I lived only 235 miles south from Mount St. Helens when it erupted.

“Roads Closed”…… City Plows pulled off the streets! “White-Out” Blizzard! I walked ½ block
to the indoor track and it was like walking towards a runaway freight- train!
afterglow of Minnesota,
i can see
my bare toes, oh how they’ve grown;
their nails…who knew
of merriment, sickness, nibble of pup.
‘hello feet…wuzzup?’*

Bite Size Poem #31
Sponsor: Line Gauthier
*wassup (wah-zup) - Informal US exclamation meaning “what’s up”
**cold in Georgia no where near the Minnesota cold
Lightning throbs
Sending rain pelting
Through me
Joyously soaking my soul
Home now-
Clothes hanging on iron glyphs;
Soon to adorn my garden
The sun peaks out-
Bright red pinecones are forming
Like little green
Tipped clubs on the Norway Pine
Outside my window;
My heart entwined with the
Budding pinecones
Absorbing hope
The air feels different
Forgiving, even kind!
Chicadees & Robins flitting
From bushes to trees
Recon flights scouting
Proper nesting sites
A Bald Eagle flew overhead
This morning as I travelled
The motorway
Good luck!
A muddy penny, unloved, castaway
Zinc replaced copper
Time replaced need
Escape from Winter's icy womb!
Idea of profit hope for snowflake March and November rain. Are you leading back to Rapid City or Pine Ridge?
I was in the halfway house in Mitchell. Did you visit the Corn Palace or the doll shop?
I heard you are in Aberdeen. I am still your dream?
Symmetrical preponderance stopwatch courthouse cuckoo clock
Spitting on gravestones North Minnesota
