Snow and ice:
slipping down
isn't nice.

Party time,
on the town,
pantomime.

Manger scene,
bishop's gown,
Santa's been!

a pantomime of love
a song that doesn't play
a memory marked in time
a song from yesterday

guitar with a broken string
a chord you couldn't get
no lyrics anyway to
this song that I forget...

My wife and I had words but I never got to use mine
Her verbal diarrhea supersedes mine every time
An incessant stream
I wanted to scream
It was like starring in my own pantomime...

My life has been confined by rhyme
Not in my prime as each limb I climb
On rhyme I fixate all of the time
A penny a word, maybe a dime
When the word won’t come, I pantomime

Kayaks

Kailua Beach, sandy shores
keep paddlers at bay view,
kissing turquoise surface,
keenly riding the lips,
knocking on pantomime,
kid like, with seaman dreams, 
kayaking reefs of bay.

Our world is such a ludicrous stage  
artistes perform a pantomime
For blind folks comfortably seated 
Anxious to to have a good time

oh
Sal saw sea
beyond the seesaw

but
did her fish suit swimming
in a flashy swimsuit

Doug, her dog 
at the pantomime
groans a panting moan

then 
Sal, fish and Doug
did a selfie on her phone

Master of rendition
My volition not to compromise
Synthesize the power
Never willing just to pantomime

Know it when you see
The genius pouring forward cracking time
None can touch this ice-cold wording
Humble master patron mine...

I'm in love with a pantomime horse
In my mind it wo'nt go away
Over jumps or on a flat course
I grow more in love everyday

I can see when it raises its' lips
Its' smiling and laughing white teeth
And I know, with a flick of its' hips
It will show me its' zip underneath...

Some memories are a pantomime in a dolls house.
A slide-show in a small theater.
Audience of one.

The spectacle is painted in sunny colors,
some skillful child chose fairy-tale smiles.

A head heavy with sarcasm bares its teeth.

The watcher arises
stretches an ancient story-line.
Starts again....

How lowly do the heavens hang?
This great Earth begins at your feet.
The sound of church bells that just rang.
Falling in love when eyes first meet!

The pantomime of that one love.
A born aspect of your being.
Like the mating dance of the dove.
You're the mirror that love's seeing!

There once was a young chap from Guggenheim
Just loved summertime rhyme and pantomime 
Hat out for nickels and dimes
Exchanged for just a few rhymes
Attracting crowds on through till closing time

Meet misty miles,
Yell yes you yoke.
Pink poignant pile,
Intuit invoke;
Nurture nice niche,
Keep keeper kind.
Etch each enrich,
Live laughing lines;
Elephant each,
Pantomime play;
Hurl heavy hitch,
Apt aim arrays;
Now notice near,
Touch trickles tears.

The light bulb absolved its flickering duty

Bayonet stuck in the depth of despair

‘Screw you’ but the mismatch prevailed


Life takes a psychic but the medium is fraught

The planet a stroboscope for fits of illusion

She severed the cord and turned on the gas


Shadow play and the pantomime was over...

Sublime moments could be the last, 
Pantomime parades like it’s infinite; 
Crime to not explore a perfect kiss 
time to taste every single minute;  

Aggressive in my pursuit to explore 
give no energy to melancholy lamenting;  
Provocative, come undone and savor you; 
Live for love, if the world was ending....

MY NEMIISIS…MY SAVING GRACE

poetry 
captured
my hate
changed 
my fate

I had no choice
it chose me
as a rescue
remedy

I play with words
with people’s
minds

I 

love to tease
and 
fantasize

an addiction
affliction
pre-
disposition?

or just
a
pantomime

My spiritual umber a-rose
Full in bloom, as in an erupt!
There was the a sweet scent of flora
Too… the frisk, of spring feeling fauna”
I viewed through that verdant screen
From my bough brushed tranquil dene
As all on the Easter time 
golden daffodils silent bell  ringing did,
in innocent pantomime."

Night sky entourage shining
intermittent singing, chiming.
Misty clouds are dancing by
the solitary moon up high.

Distant stars ebb and flow
players in a theatre show.
The moon and its soliloquy
shrouded clouded mystery.

Pantomime in fading glory
indicates its silent story
to distant planets audience
seems a time to reminisce....

The time has come to put away the tree.
Her Christmas charm has faded over time.
A month ago she greeted all with glee.
Now she appears the victim of a crime!
Disheveled lights and ornaments agree,
the tree tells us she’s tired in pantomime.
Because we’re sure to miss her tinseled glow,
I say this year we keep the mistletoe!
