Short Segues Poems

Estrela

Diretora,
no palco 
do sábado
estrelado, 
a dança das
decisões
é o teu fado: 
as estrelas guiam 
com sua luz divina, 
e sábia, tu segues 
e guia
a rota que
 se destina
para fazer
do pouco,
mais e mais....

Diametric …
art and commerce
Twining symbols
colors adverse
 Yin & Yang
divergent segues 
Each stigmatic
 bloddy payday
Fraternal image
Louvre / Montmartre
Black tie bidding
cobbled heart
A poor man sings
a rich man vies 
On bartered canvas
 —truth defies

There is a collective revving
of chutzpah and pluck.
The flock takes flight.
One robin jumps late,
takes off alone
behind the bunch.
It struggles to catch up,
then segues in mid-air,
as if to say: ...k it.
The bird lands alone
on a bare branch.
It doesn’t care;
robins are not starlings....

A day that segues into smooth
From bumpy at its start
Is like a prize awarded
For not crumbling apart.

The smiles are that much sweeter;
The vibes all silk and satin.
The energy as upbeat
As the best parts of Manhattan.

Without a little snag or two
To bring about disfavor,
The smoothness wouldn’t be the same
We’d write about or savor....

There is a collective revving
of chutzpah and pluck.
It's known, it's time,
bird-brains do not ask.

The flock takes flight.
One robin jumps late,
takes off alone.
It has an instinctual drive,
it should have left
with the others.
However, birds don't know -

regret.

It struggles to catch up,
then segues in mid-air,
as if to say: 

fork it.

The robin lands alone
on a bare branch.
It doesn’t care anymore.

Robins are not starlings....
