Listen to poem:

Nice to see the notice
Neatly posted on board
Nuance Needs Attention!
Nurture well each notion
Netted by casting deep
Note each iota jot
Neglect no detail, none....

shining desolate 
a hungry grand lion snorts 
because of the net 
~
cheery abandoned 
a  brutish grand lion vents 
he escapes said net

"Go jogging, eat healthy!” You've often been told.
And so in a sports club with hope you enrolled.
You 'veganed'.  You sweated.
Great gains you have netted.
But your foe the mirror insists: “You're still old.” ...

   It does not grow in the ground
     in a bush, on a tree

   No animal's beheaded
     Or fish netted
   It's seldom shredded

   Makes a perfect meal
      prepared as requested

   Symbol of life in the world
     Yolk inside egg-white ~ mysteries swirl

OH HAT GAMES THEY PLAY...

What strange webs they weave
Like black widows lacing
Silk dreams of ecstasy

Wooing victims with deceit
Netted in a wicked mesh
Of woven lies

Waging war
In the name of God and Peace:

Bullets and bombs exploding
in orgasmic death....

A pillbox hat, a suit of pink,
The blood and all the tears;
That small salute, so solemn – 
Is it really fifty years?

A swearing-in, a widow’s face
Behind a netted veil;
The coffin in a hearse and then
The bugle’s lonely wail.

The anniversary today
Demands that we take note
Of innocence and what was lost
In times that seem remote....

Serendipity happened
As the dancer communed
Poet's scintillas and muse
Enchanting poetic expression
Dances like wind-tossed Dandelion
Fragrant perfume infuse
Summery, sumptuous person
Gifted poet whose poems not homespun
Whose words hearts seduce___

Old age
Threatening near
Wrinkles on forehead
Lines on corners of eye
Netted crosses on cheeks
Plumps of fat
On protruding belly
Double chins
Hanging loose
Shrivelled hands and fingers
Resemble those of a cold blooded animal
Clumsy legs 
Staggering
Sinking eyes
Dimming
Exhausted brain
Confusing
A complicated world
A bleak future
For every oldie 
And it comes only once...

YOUR LOVE INSPIRES ME TO KEEP
LOVING YOU
THRU THICK, AND THIN
EVERYDAY WE BEGEN
AND IT MAKES SENSE
TO KEEP LOVING YOU
WHEN WE GROW AND GROW
LET OUR LOVE SHOW
AND THAN WE SPEND OUR
DAYS NUTURING
PROUD AS A MAN
COULD BE
LOVE IN IT'S HONESTY
BRINGS US TOGETHER
TO BE LOVERS AND FREINDS
IF YOU ASKED ME
WOULD I
DO IT ALL AGAIN
I'D SAY TO MY FREIND
I'D GLADLY TAKE YOUR HAND
TO BE YOUR LOVER AGAIN...

Lavender shows blue flowers
Shaded by a spreading Oleander
The weedy garden, once a nursery
Still has many vibrant blooms

Dandelion, Snapdragons, heads held high
Visited by a darting Hummingbird
No second glance, to the odd deadhead
Ladybug sits lonely, on discarded beanpole

The high mesh fence casts its netted shadows
Broken red pots with busy ants below
Are there really weeds, or,
Just plants in the wrong place...

Beautiful sunrise in the east
And a powerful sunset in the west
In between nestled a cottage  in the forest, and
Free things  nature  has to offer.

Yes, bird songs!
Quicky and quirky
Bird’s tweeting
Singing at sight.
What a delight!

Bird’s language
Speak sometimes
Of truth amidst
Of the many wonders
Of life's indiscretions.

Oh, how I love 
These chirpings
Accompanying me in my nap
In a netted  swinging cradle ....

I miss you when your gone,
Like the undead miss the dawn,
I fade when your away,
Like darkness without the day,
I'm a fraying netted mesh,
Like A phantom without the flesh,
I'm a flint without the spark,
Like a nightingale without the lark,
I'm a rose without a thorn,
Like a wolfs howl...so forlorn,

And then I see your face,
And it all vanishes without a trace,
And when I'm in your arms,
Your light,my darkness,warms!
I miss you!

I love you,Tosh!
Forever and eternity!...

My passions murmured in her screams
Haunting the oceans of my dreams
Fishing with strawberries and cream
Aquatic fantasies swiftly releasing steam

As she glides netted in my sinews
Lubricated, she flings her exotic, oiled fins 
I dive eyes blazing, guiding me to her lips 
I hold my breath into the depths of her hips

Synchronising, losing all fear of drowning
Dying abreast, I owe her this yawning
She whispers to resurface and feel the sun
I take a deep gasp, back breaking dawn...
