Indiana Kibble Kat was the kind of a professor that….
Taught us about adventure with a tip toe tat.
Regaling us with stories pulled out of his hat
Amazing us with his pet vampire bat.
We never had a better teacher than Professor Kat....

Singing trills in delightfully through my window
Perched upon my garden wall sits the little brown jacketed culprit, who
Always greets me with cheerful news
Regaling me with stories resounding from deep within his
Ruffled little chest
Often I wonder, as the years pass on
Will I always leave my window open to welcome in your good tidings?...

Pale and pasty, my face.
Disappearing into stripes - regaling no stance.
Gone - no trace.

Red hair…freckles.
Please, won’t someone ask me to dance?
…heckles.

Heart’s weak…
Is there no chance?!
Speak!

Pale and pasty, my face.
Please, won’t someone ask me to dance?
Speak!

"Murmurs" by David Hart

Al fresco
 Standing
 Attent

Now raining
Waiting 'midst murmurs

Virtuous rain
Valorous rain

Regaling
Playing
'Midst drops of rain
 'Midst drops of words

 Words heard
but not understood

Murmurs of raindrops
Murmurs of words
Thoughts of friends
Of women
Of trivial things
 
Attent
al fresco
 Standing
In the rain

If there's a world where I do not exist
I would want my memories to persist
Friends regaling stories of good deeds done
People remembering old days of fun
Silence serenading in between smiles
Familiar fighting with forgotten files
No one should shed tears that I am now gone
Rather reminisce golden days till dawn
Whene'er you think thoughts that throwback to me
Close your eyes, take a pause, then let me be

Ross, the book reader was full of ideas for more books.
Many called him elf man, I called him Crazy Crooks.
His job was to read all day and entertain the night life.
Regaling us with interesting stories so big, bold and bright.

I want that book, many other elves said to the boss.
He laughed at them, knowing they could never be as good as Ross.
Ross drank so much coffee during the day,
That his eyes never closed, as he story-told away....

Two friends converse
One idle forenoon,
About ages lost and shared
Sardonic as pantaloons.
How long has each known
The other's happenstance
Through days of sobriety,
And days of romance.
Regaling a mirthful tale
When each was young    
Not keen on life,
But the hymns they have sung.
How can we find worth
In ash and dust?
Not in our tribulations,
But each other's trust.
How long will that association last?
Only as long as regard has passed....

We sought ill love to burn the light of day,
Letting embers cool and night's fair ashes stay,
To envelop desire, virtue in a young man's eye,
Burning fire-bright in an inkwell sky,

And all to drown in holy union bow'd,
Thrice regaling whilst the lady doth allow,
To die and rise with mov'd tears,
As Lazurus waking to the spheres...

But once night became the dawn,
Acteon turneth I, and I into a fawn,
To come again perhaps another night,
When ashes steal new virgin light....
