A picture perfect
Heaven beheld modestly
Grass and sky alike...

When Jesus turned water to wine
it tasted modestly divine
there was no witnessed waste
but there's no accounting for taste
pharisee spirit's complain all the time...

Sweet
Primrose 
Modestly 
Presents herself 
At a midwinter
Cotillion, opening
Herself to the enchantment 
Of warm Spring's coming arrival.
She calls sisters: Daffodil, Tulip 
And shy Buttercup, to come join the dance.

Motherly making modestly comforting comes to me
Orderly onslaught of ordinary endearing caresses
Maintaining assurances endearing a masterful heart

O evening's air! Go  ...And modestly kiss her princes-brow,                  Blow her long hair away and harass her,                        And come again tomorow...                 I shall be seeing your way, patiently and anxiously, at here, my lonely window....

I slip
into my robe
to boil water
toast my bread
and butter the morning sky

The color of sunrise
is very beautiful
perfectly clear
clouds in straight line

This contact with God
the friend of silence
I have just spent modestly
my times for today......

Until yesterday
collected stars
in the sky...
catch auroras
in the mornings ....

disputed
with the sun,
the love of the moon ...
Swallowed a lot
dust from the
roads ...

Today,
modestly
what I do best:
is to catch poetic 
birds with
the hands...!...

Her eyes light up when I enter her view
a radiance reflecting
off the mirrors of our soul
a deep penetration of mind
our love language unique
a rarity to find
she mouths her intentions modestly
feeling drawing us inside
just two in the wind coming together
I am hers, she is mine...

      ‘Let a little water be brought
       I’ll bring a piece of bread’
          Avraham modestly said…

       Each of his guests was served
       a whole tongue, the choicest of meats 
          loaves of fresh bread, delicacies sweet



            ~ Genesis, Chapter 18

So here we are in the new year
Throw confetti wishes and cheer
January opened its doors nicely
Merry old me entered modestly
Shook the monkey off my back
Took his banana in place of a snack
How losing a few pounds inspires
Now I can climb the tree of desires...

There  was once a young Madam from Paris 
Who liked to sun herself on the terrace
Her legs covered modestly
But not from hypocrisy, 
From her varices, she wanted to spare us.

She tells it like it is
And it cracks me up
She lives modestly but
Her laugh is like big bucks

Her truth is like mine
But I don't have the courage
To say it

She doesn't give a heck
And she doesn't understand her
Wit

We talk and laugh for hours
On end because that's my girl
She's a dear friend...

Maternal maidens modestly make miracles
Incubating infants into incarnation
Loyally loving laundering life
Completing consciousness crowns, circulating
Fortuitous freedom, forgiving
Enlarged egocentric expulsions
Boundlessly boiling beseeching brothers
Preventing planetary peace
Wisely Worship women with wholeness......

When she asks about your scar
she doesn't want to hear it's there
because fibroblasts grow quicker
than normal cells and form thick layers.

She wants to hear an exotic story
of daredevil adventure on the final frontier,
and to hear you exclaim modestly,
"It's just a scratch, really!"


Note: Inspired by a story by Allen Pace...

A butterfly lights from flower to flower
with golden wings, he whiles away each sunny hour. 
A moth comes out at night, while the world dreams,
guided by the light of silvery moonbeams. 
An ant toils away, working hard for the pack, 
dressing modestly, he's attired only in black.
I try not to judge, as I consider each bug. 
They all have different ways of feeding their mug....

Did you know
At the community hall
The janitor cleans
For no pay at all

Quietly cleaning
Day and night 
Crumbs and wrappers 
In his sight 

He never complains 
He just gets on 
Busily cleaning 
Til all is gone 

Modestly staying 
Out of view 
He seeks no praise 
From me or you 

Even leaving behind 
Gifts for us all
Droppings aplenty 
From the rat at the hall...

Egg
Milk
Some bread
Add butter
In a frying pan
Heat your frying pan modestly.
Beat the egg, add the milk, dip the bread in that mixture.
Each slice of dipped bread is added to the pan, and cooked gently until both sides are browned.
It may be known as “French Toast” today, but did you know that before the First World War, nearly everybody referred to it as “German Toast”?

Apples, She’ll Be!

Despite Down Under date blunder,
Summer ‘tis Winter, go ponder,
Go on a date, a Burl,
Whirl your girl,
No Drama, Sheila thunder!

A Wazoo Woo,
Is a Ripsnorter Two,
Warm winter sunbake,
Warren’s Birthday Cake,
Pash modestly or HooRoo!

Take Mary on a Bonzer Date,
Good Onya Heaps Mate,
May yer Matilda be Moolah
Cold Beer in yer Coolah
Corker You Day!

Her heart is heavy with despair, her soul abandoned
Unruly tangled locks modestly shroud her face and flesh,
Yet her naked rawness, a voyeur’s ideal conception
Yielding to a drab empty room mirroring a bereft mood
Bedding ladened with dead weight heavily sinking  
A young woman in grave distress shedding copious tears
A bohemian girl sequestered, hiding, drowning in sorrows 
Her flowing streams fall warm, healing and abiding...

Paranormal peasants of a pathetic and patient percentile
                 perpetrate peace from perjury..
    A patriarch, parallel to a peaceful partisan passage..

Meditation maliciously masks my mighty monogamous minx.
Modestly managing my machismo, mastering my maturity.

Decisions and opportunities
a view of life in flux
but too pragmatic, too understated
not quite capturing the
subtlety and ignobility
of created existence
for in the indecision
one faces the kind of fleeting
knowledge that can only be
described as a lack
and in the opportunity
the appearance of control
has naught but disaster for
a consequence
rather convert the way of
kings, viewing life as a
stillframe, to a modestly
measured pace colored by
moments of vain creativity...

Whirling flakes of fantasy softly tango,
cheek to cheek, or modestly waltzing strangers.
Blizzard whiteout buffaloes moon and starlight,
   cloaking the lovers.

Frozen fountain, brazenly fetching, catching
coins of ice, those stupefied flattened pennies.
Queen of snow and fairies do bluster shavings.
   Breathless the statue.

Snowmen slurry tottering, wayward listing.
Melting, baring, chattering cherub crystals.
Water flowing merrily whistles sport at
   winter’s undressing....
