Scottish
A sexy chef indeed
Pans are flung around the kitchen
And obscenities not listed
Dream rejection of me...

Peter, Paul & Mary
Songs as sweet as sherry
   
   But their off-the-stage activities
   Surprising sexual proclivities...

Low-cut dress
Jeweled excess
You inspire

Wine this eve
Let’s conceive
Our desire

Cordon bleu
Dancing, too
Hearts afire 

My lament
Time’s descent
Night’s expired

Carnival
Two brothers save coins
Look forward
Excitement
Read, reread poster, pictures
Talk about strange sights

Main big tent
Brothers find a seat
Excitement
Mountain high
Someone in main tent screams,"Fire"
Boys run, bam, brick wall

I have looked in vain,
but my name is not listed
among the “great” names of history.

My heart skips when I learn
a distant relative was
a name that others will recognize.

But the generations between
are all forgotten names and
long forgotten people.

What a cold, sad thought
that not a person in the world
thought about them once today,
except me....

African Spring  

The rain has settled
liquidy soil
ingested to wait
the blessing of Spring
nature renewed

mystical blooms
surround the veldt
in Africa
endeared by Sun

Clivia
yellow strength
likens Sun

waits for
its kin

Moon

She committed an act
Suicide its hushed name
Speaking out from the grave
Susurrations impede
Sucking, pulling like quick-
Sand, her family left 
Suffering in her wake  


Susurration/susurrations-whisper/whispers
Wake relates to the waves made by a boat, or as to arise or come to life as waking in the morning

Pleiades form but this form is not listed here...

When the sun cast pastel colors
On the far eastern horizon
Like kisses exchanged between lovers
Drawing me as the scent of spring
Lures the honeybee to come taste
Notebook, pen, dictionary bring
To porch, ears tuned, eyes gaze__no haste

 INVOLUTION

playing peaceful music provides a
pointless painted pleasure
trapped in the why, time passes by
pointless painted pleasure

blotting vast hazy vague impressions
of painful involution
time passes by, trapped in the why
of painful of involution

preservation turning inside out
defence against invasion
trapped in the why, time passes by
defence against invasion

(FORMAT= not listed above called ZaniLa )

ALPHABETH POEM: A FOR APPLE

An Apple a day
Keeps the doctor away,
Giving fiber in each bite
Protecting against the mites.

Everyday eating apples
Or drinking some snapples,
All well and fruity
As though its your duty.

That red, green or yellow apple
The choice being subtle,
The pectin in the skin
Makes "going" a win.
