All the world awaits....

Verona's Paulo Veronese
loved to paint pageantry
He claimed pictorial licence
relying on innate common sense...

Hibiscus the hues
Beautiful breathlessness 
Floral  agony
Bright full colors hurts my eyes 
The Hibiscus  pageantry...

fairies weave a silk necklace

                  droplet pearls of pure finesse

                                      nature's pageantry of dress

terrain walks toward ocean streams
aqua spaces dream

pageantry image
brown, orange yellow off green 
autumn scene lovely

Elusive moon beckons dark currents,
     sand's sparkling pageantry  
             drifts out amidst frothing tide,
submerging lover's imprints 'neath
     realms of alluring seascape illusions...

If you were to love me;
How could this ever be;
Such a radiance of pageantry;
It would ever be;
If you were to love me;

Colors arrive with pageantry
On canvas represents artistry
But outside make up existence 
Although can become meandering 
Literally murmured of course
The controversy with cerulean hues

color pageantry 
constant radiant rainbows
 colors cascading
~
reds, yellow, greens beams
across aqua purple- blues
cascaling colors

Sukkot's a holiday seven days long
    supplies to buy, a home to build
  No one's inside in our neighborhood

  The fragrance of myrtle
    the esrog's beauty
  Cornucopia of pageantry
    harvest's heavenly booty...

Like a bevy of swallows released from a fountain
    the pageantry of a balloon race set in the mountains

  A throng of graduates hurling blue caps in the air 
    ~ so, too, passion's first kiss in a fairy-tale affair...

fast 
throttling 
in a pageantry
of eternal beauty

my little pigeons
perform’ng
a ministry
like some goddesses
of my deep-delv’d niger

come, throttle, dance
like some mbari dancers
smil’ng before this moon
the happy queen
of my clan!...

The month of March is a sunshine 
pouring as effervescent vanilla
on through the floral pageantry
of tangerine ever glowing--
sun-kissed a golden yellow,
and dashes of the whispering rain
that spice a chilly earth
to waft springtime's minty aroma....

light the butterfly
silken wings fluttering by
rainbow chattering
~
aerodynamic 
soothing to the eye brilliance
color canopy
~
reigns in majesty
pageantry flying around
lights the butterfly

Your page now short on substance,
yet colorful the rhyme

The words used in abundance,
where lesser might define

Intention slave to beauty,
all meaning zero sum

Pageantry lost in the wind
  —your blood left still to run

I remember the grand parades
  Memorial and Independence Day
All their pomp and pageantry
  Many faded jeans ago, so far away

Our boys in uniform we'd be saluting
  For the good ole USA we'd be rooting
Now it's political rancor at barbeques
  ~ From either end we're tooting...

The controlled pageantry
The longing; natural, pure
She waits, wondering
When will he know?
Maybe, on his own
The truth revealed as he lay, breathless
Undeniable fear
He remains sickened by her truth
Wanting purity, hes a glimmer
Engorged, filthy she sighs
In the end, bella......

Maples splash paint in yellows and reds:
rivals competing on game day.
Southern woods in November:
color and pageantry
in glorious waves.
Ultimately,
winter wins.
So goes
fall.

Reciting in within myself 
A  kiss my outward breath
Happy day thank God for being alive

And with all holy pageantry

paisley hues
Ebony skin so shines
And pageantry it it just do
Chocolate delight
I taste her variance
I embrace her spirit
Her face so shines as the daylight
I am intertwined
So caught up in her soul
I confess I never want to let her go

every day
all times
me with mi
Musa DIOSA

she is
not my ego
or even altra
ego for she is

realities' pageantry
though not here
in an amusing
sort of way

she stays
in a computer
age where one 
that i would've

given
she can't
give what
needs to be

gave 
so let's
say it's a given
so unto you i give

my love
my, love...

The colour of Saturday,
Everywhere is aglow,
Scintillating and enchanting,
Exotic and pleasant aroma,
Noise and music,
Cars and chauffeurs,
Lights and paparazzi, 
Style and glamour,
Pomp and pageantry,
Hugs and kisses,
Saturday rides on the freeway,
Saturday spreads its wings,
It lets no reservations,
The beautiful mess.
