So powerful, yet graceful
Lifeguards of the sea...

In one labor of Star-nosed Moles
Traveled a slower toothless cow
The last in line, all that she sees
Is sore gums and molasses now!...

A Great, Red-Nosed Elf howled a Laugh,
That split the Zoo's Christmas in half!
 the Reindeer got tangled
 (he too steeply angled)
...they got strung up on a Giraffe!...

Poor Rudolph his nose has turned brown
His antics have made Santa frown
For no one supposes
That folks with brown noses
Are trouble and let others down

Witches are wizened hags
With long nose and loose hair
Wart nosed ugly spirits
Wicked ramblers of night
Who ride on bristly brooms
Wielders of black magic
Weird sisters in Macbeth...

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer
helped Santa out one year.
To keep his nose lit steady,
he used an Everready!

A love story too  
 
We are making love
But in your eyes I see
You think of someone else.
At climax
You shout out the name
“Rudolf.”
Who the hell is he?
I resentfully ask.
The red-nosed reindeer 
You say and smile....

Christmas was only a few hours away.
Santa and elves were coming on the sleigh.
The night was filled with fair sights,
'Til the clash with festive lights.
Soon flashing, bright nosed Rudolph, led the way!

Romping air flying runs
Rule space for Christmas fun.
Rare deer perform roof sails.
Ready female and males
Roam earth on sledding rails.
Rudolph no zero, but
Red nosed and loved hero.

Winter Skin/ Summer Skin


Winter Skin

cap on head
Rudolph-nosed; my cheeks
rosy red


Summer Skin

my suntan lotion
like rivulets of warm butter
drips from me

You see old Jake was no prude
For he always slept in the nude
T’was late one night, when just on a whim
He arose from his bed, bent down low 
Way down near the floor
T’was certainly a fright
He nearly leapt out of sight
When his old dog Blue cold nosed him...

Here we have Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer
     His nasal affliction caused by his liking for  beer
     The deer doctor recommended switching to tea
     Now Santa's  p.o.'d cause the route he can't see….

Headlights cleave
Thin vapoured weave
Hotblack top
Cooked and stopped

Slice through air
Tendrilled hair
Steamy swirling
Ballroom whirling
Sweaty, surged, pressed
Hard-nosed crest

Closing behind
All but forgotten
Red-light gleam
Dimming, dimming
Weather’s dream...

VAMPIRE


              Vampire is mythical.
              Violent to attack.
              Valorous to suck blood.
              Vindictive attitude.
              Vicious activity.
              Ventures to bite, sip blood.
               Vampire bats are leaf- nosed.....

Rudolph the red-nosed




Rudolph the red-nosed,
when for pic with Santa posed,
Slipped off the sleigh, down he rolled,
yet nose in dark, illuminated manifold !

near death experiences 
compel us to relook
at our beliefs

take the case
of Eben Alexander
hard nosed neuro surgeon

with his cortex fully severed
he yet returned healed 
speaking of angels

love alone is real
is the message echoed
hello! is humanity listening...

In my back yard
Mr. Bunny
sprinted past me, 
as if to say, 
“Look how fast I am!”

The day before Easter
I spied him
beside my forsythia.
All twitchy-nosed and
watching my house.

Perhaps there is 
a real Easter Bunny!
I must check my yard for eggs.

Santa Claus is coming
To all the girls and boys
Upon His shiny sleigh
Bringing sacks of toys
With his red nosed reindeers
Magic dust to make them fly
So to all you beautiful children
Don't forget He likes mince pies

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Lights up Santa’s path to steer.
For his nose to last through the night,
He sunbathes to charge up his light!

Now Rudolph the red-nosed caribou
 
has a task that only he can do

his job on Christmas Eve

though you may disbelieve

is to guide Santa's sleigh straight to you.

The footprint that goes back to deep in life,
He carries countless long breaths.
He has tulip fever,
The aroma of tulip sticks to her nose 
as long as she lives;
The flower is cut off  
the odor is just nosed. 
She now lives in the air, on the street, 
near the river 
And in the story of human love....

Rudolph's In Charge


Dear Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
lights up Santa’s path to help steer.
To last through the night,
he must charge his light...
with nose raised to sun, sits on rear!

The Way of Tyrants  (Tanka)

Red nosed circus clowns 
Behind mad grins… hate the laugher 
As with dictators 
In absurd fantasy uniforms
We hoot only when they fall.


Tyrant in his cave
Resentfully reflects on life
 Western big shots came 
Ate roasted lambs in his tent  
How could he be so gullible?...
