Someone gave me some Panama-Red 
I smoked it and it put me to bed 
Couldn't get any higher 
So I lost my desire 
I was comatose...thought I was dead...

She Pirate Thatch 3


She had a map tattooed on her torso
Of places I've desired to go
North America looked fine
And Her Brazil was divine
But, Panama I liked even more so...

Her leg swings beside hammock
fingers twine above her hair
but her book flies at my jump 
when coati sniffs within brush.

Cindy Cinnamon was a working gal
Lavender Lucy her very best pal
one night they tag teamed Mr. Ed
smoked a pound of panama red
Stormy Daniels did shots from a pail

A surly old codger in Panama City
Said of the annual tourists "What a pity!"
Groused at the snow birds
With crudest curse words
While chanting a mariner's naughty sea ditty.

shorts,white socks
sandals and panama-
winter-white legs

no wind,blue skies
dozing in a deckchair-
my afternoon tea stews

hottest day of summer
flying ants on high-
a swallows' drive by

summer-days ever-lasting
moments so tender-tasting...

Rain water drifts
The sun escapes to the sea of Panama
Nail of soft infant
Hard aluminum
Pattern of butterfly
Islands floating in Oceania
Crowd of the city
Escape to the ego from the ego
Suddenly I see the sky
Cloud lily stalk sticks into my throat...

RIVER LINE TOURIST

National Geographic frame:
pleasure of plum water lilies,
under potent panama sky.
A dugout canoe rows us through.

Embera with beaded skirt, our rudder.
Caiman perched on edge of Chagris River.

As waves of sea water wash over me
On the white sand beach of Panama City,
I am carried away by the sound of the sea
As waves of sea water wash over me
I can even ignore the annoying sand flea
Nothing makes me so exuberantly happy
As waves of sea water wash over me
On the white sand beach of Panama City.

What a curtain Bisbee has
   That keeps Mexico subdued
And influences the lands
   From which the Sierra was hewn.

What purple folds keep Oaxaca
   As a fortress in the sky
Breaking only in Panama
   To let a vessel dredge by.

No courier have I on hand
   Except the initial breezes that blow
So a whisper I channel into it:
   Give to Colombia my hello....

Epitome of fashion, elegance, class!
Perched atop the young head of that lass,
Exudes style, with floral forms,
Protects from heat swarms,
straw woven
charms,
cash driven,
Labour of poor farms,
by peasants with hunger qualms,
fills money pockets of top brass,
Epitome of fashion, elegance, class!

The form is not in the list. This form is  Ae Freislighe 


Calliope tutelage
“There be tales from times not told,
brought back through your lineage,
dreams dredged from dark days of old”

Animate lost Anima
place a new thinking cap on
hang up hero’s panama
parlay phrases till past dawn

Here sit I, laptop clicking
chickens chiding privilege
wrapped in writing, clock ticking
Calliope tutelage....

There are a lot of different breeds.

A dog is a very common
four legged-animal
 often kept by people,
used to guard or hunt  
but this female is compare
 with Einstein and other genius
mix with doberman
was used in Panama
as founder of Noriega mass graves.

When  ferocious barking
 up the wrong tree
is reward by her mon (a woman).
This forensic dog
 is a great holiday spender,
eats lot´s of pizzas
and can replace
men in his job....

The feeder's full; the hummingbirds
Have likely flown away
To find a better climate
For their wintering foray.

I've read that they fly solo,
Not like others, in a swarm,
To Mexico or Panama
In search of someplace warm.

I wonder how they fare in flight,
Their frenzied wings a'blur
And what they do if storms or winds
Or hurricanes occur.

I'll take my feeder down and dump
The sugar water out 
And hope next summer once again
I'll see them flit about....
