it's touch chills my lips
from ice cream drips to thin mints
everything is cold...

false face ghastly garb
bellows boos by porch light halo....
no fruit or mints please...

A Prince Named Pence

Now there can be many comments,
So for bad breath must take mints;
Also do dump,
Donald Trump,
When prince happens to be Pence.

If you thought me insane, it'd be a start...

If you thought me funny, a joke...

But if you were to think simply nothing of me...

I'd eventually go up in smoke....

Winnipeg, Vancouver and old Montreal
Canada Mints, Inuits, and your lovely fall
Trudeau, Pierre and Justin
Quebecans I can trust in
with Canada Dry in hand, I toast you all!

Mexican mug.
American band.
Mint soap
Scissors in hand.
Mason jar
with hopes and mints,
planner full of 
news and prints.

Small house.
American North.
Soiled blouse.
goal, go forth....

Odd gets even
Pile pain on pain
As if given
By souls here slain

Echoes and hints
Tell our sad tale
As weary mints
Last final sale

Jacqueline was trim and lean never ran out of steam 
she ran and ran and never tired now isn't that a dream 
she did a sprint 
and won some mints  
Lifesaver ones, for her and her victorious team....

Watch for fine ease
In surge of peace


Look for a hint
Where true love mints


Seek then the sign
In peace of mind


See how love frees
What you may be

A stained teacup sits sadly in the sink
Ashes of a past fire grey the hearth
An unread newspaper, old man's spectacles
A packet of mints lay on the scratched surface
Of a beeswaxed table
Waiting for Thomas Ryan to return...

Quatrain #836:
MINT


Make up your mind to live your best,
Indulge in kind deep lovely zest;
Note what you find as stillness mints,
Touch as you sign sheer ample fest.

My heart knows a surge:
Feel a stillness call,
I feel that soft urge
As silence now falls.


My soul calls to me:
A light touch now mints,
I feel what may be
As a clear voice hints.

my body cast
in stone 
for ye

who throw
the first
i'll throw

it back
not needing
to ask why you

unto me
but an
eye

for an eye
forgotten
foreign

old texts
of testa
mints

testing
my breath
it now smells 

fresh...

Quatrain #64:
TRUE


Trust in the light that comes to show,
Reach for a sight beyond mere flow:
Urge mints sure flight to a fond dream,
Etch what feels right in pulse that grows.

Deep sighs
Such highs


Prize cry
Ask why


Why weep
Just sleep


Why cry
Just sigh


Warm hints
Bright tints


Touch mints
Soft lint


Sad sighs
Don't lie


Vain highs
Ask why

Quatrain #17:
VOICE


Be still my heart and glimpse the hint,
Know that sure start in joy that mints;
Craft your fond art that moves and glows,
Voice in swift parts true poise that tints.

Heart and soul know a posture easy
Body now grows cheer most feisty
Mind does show now thoughts breezy
Subtle tints move true fest
Bright hints flavour quest
Taste mints bold jest
Watch how time
Makes rhymes
Chime

Art talking to the sun
Warm conversation 
Like mints after meals fine
Log fire burning 
Sent moods
Creating silent stew
Calm language in process
Enjoyment stance
Write home 
Story needs to be told
Long haul knocking 
Notes of promise sum
Star performance 
Wedding Bells...

Grooms not nervous now
Brides expecting more
Fathers going broke
Mothers counting money
Frizzle frazzle day

What happened mints?
What happened cake?
What happened punch?
What happened nuts?

More more more
Everything
Bridezilla

Simple?
Lovely?
Not quite.

Fine face


Glimpse gift
Love lifts
