He swallowed vanity whole,
spit up rhododendrons,
gasped at greasepaint fingerprints—
his own—
finally saw himself:
Clown.
Till the other day
As it seems rhododendrons
Walked with me, alas
Now superannuated
stupidity after rhymes

'Kinetic conundrums,' such a finely turned phrase, or
perchance 'effervescent rhododendrons' -- their glories ablaze
The Beatles' walrus cu-cu-ca-chu'd
Frankie boy scooby-dooby-dooed
I'd finish this poem, but it might come unglued
Ravishing Rarities
ranunculus reigns
rhododendrons resplendent
roses radiate
Some Socialize
swifts soar, swans swagger
swallows / sparrows socialize
sandpipers scatter
Tasty Tree Types
tamarillo treats
tropical tamarind trees
tasty tangerines

Sitting in cold sunshine
Looking up at white and grey
As empty limbs sway in icy wind
Here and there a touch of blue hope
Shadows add contrast to bright winter
The odd bird flutters by in need to feed
So much grey waits to spread its gloom
As leaves rustle on defiant rhododendrons
In yet another dizzy turn
of orbit season swing
A rolling drum of thunder resonated
outside lightning twisted across the grey
expanse of sky simply inundating.
Trees began to tango, swirl and jive
while sheets of rain plummeted from clouds
pummeling our startled lawn,
emboldening the rhododendrons to bloom,
liberating the Clematis to sprout,
invigorating and exciting the whole garden
and all before the first day of spring.
My bowl is soiled or clean
Friends don't bother about that
They keep dropping
Rhododendrons reassuring
A torch against the night
Raindrops in the summer
A lamp to read the needs
Walking side by side
In the poetry soup he
Never fails me cognitively
Holding the impartial candle
From silence towards eloquence

In translucent silence
sapphire-capped minarets
stand like ardent rose buds
under glint of a firefly moon.
Gone are birds of day
like ruby breasted dawn
spilling ashes of roses
on a saffron horizon,
rhododendrons and azaleas floating
up high to burnish
the mosque's ghosted towers.
Through night's brisk lapis
the hushed teal dome bides
wafting apple breezes
as walls and turrets lumber,
shielding the tiled plaza
until morning steeps the landscape
in the aura of peacocks.
