Menaced by a triumphant chanting of lament
Entrancing the soul of Hades’ kin
Missed eruptions of the sensory nerves
Onomatopoeic of hollow gongs 
Resonating, maimed through the indescribable facets of
Your  forgotten youth.

Almond cookies and French Roast,
a superb treat for a king or Queen;
a glass of Andre' to make a toast,
a torte soaked in Baccardi...cin, cin!*

Sue baked a huge cake, but it looked like coal;
it supposed to be lemon, not chocolate, lol!

Vanilla pudding
done in a few whipping strokes:
chill it, then eat it!

Onomatopoeic:
caw caw caw
the crow's on my roof
waiting for their breakfast,
chatter  chatter
the magpie's call
usually first to the table,
a shrill little tweet
go the sparrow's and their relatives
awaiting their feed 
in smaller bites
from the safety of their prickly bush;
the sounds of the morning's
for me 
are heaven sent.

I think onomatopoeic.

Fancy that.

Afterall, my generation combines words like
"emotion" and "icon".  My generation puts

society on a screen...

Ah, but I suppose the 
next will convert the universe into binary, 

and leave me behind
with my coffee, and jazz....
