at sixes and sevens
on a crow's nest...

Roll the dice now...
hope for six, not a seven.
Crapped out, snake eyes!...

I have lost my way to you
Moving with new finger
My days are at sixes and sevens
Yet I am enjoying the waves....

My eyes ache searching the Heavens
      so many stars clustered in Sevens

Belonging to heavens ,
Only for the gifted sevens,
Overflowing with love for knowledge,
Keen are their eyes that
Say,books form my sight...

The Rugby World Cup Sevens girls
Made Marmite ladies lose their curls
Vegemite bossed
So England lost
Australia went home with the pearls...

When one meets one
Two is made
Three is company
Fours got it made
Fives in the middle
Six hot on the trail
Sevens just there
Eight don’t care
Nine with its tail
Ten there for fun
All this when one meets one...

ETERNAL SEVENS

A post...a wandering beagle
how old? I count my fingers
...tapping out eternal sevens
forever ago it seems…
is way too long 
...but my heart jolted
upon reading this post…
an old dog found

I saw her beauty standing there
In her cherry brick made house..
Strolling up as asking for a light
Arranging my blouse amid hope
She might like,  what she finds ?
Thirty-sevens adjusting my skirt
Swaying my hips wetting my lips....

Comfort and bright light
Never shading the obscure
Blind to love awakening
Listening to truth
Keeping my eyes on over
Being concerned with brightness

Good times roll
             like the dice
             roll sevens

             Lights, sound, souls
              moving free
             food court near

            Slot money rings
            elves mouth sing
            walk out broke...

It can be managed
wisely or wasted spent on
worthy or wicked pursuits.
It cannot be bought
sold ordered to stand still or
saved for another day—time.

My true loves asleep
Beneath a blanket of clouds 
And I but his lullaby
Dancing a lament
Raining tears of sorrows grief
Lightly I float by your grave

foggy somber day
looking out over the pier
for maybe something someone
semblance of echo
deep inside to convince me
somehow i am not alone

I have bared it time and again
with the innocence of a child,
and showed you all my grief and pain
a bleeding heart that smiles,
now show me once your concealed heart
to find what lies there
fragments of this numb heart,do you still share.

Rip-rap for the sides of highways
Surge is for the smaller byways
Twos and threes, a nice good base
Twenty-fours, a French drain, place
Fifty-sevens to dress a road,
Sixty-sevens, for better flow.
Crusher run is best on top
And that is where my knowledge stops…

The passage of time

moves forward with no delays.

No luck altering its path-

set fast in its ways,

it rules the highway of life

embracing lanes- to and from

Came home early and what do I see
but two bad kitties in a knocked over tree!

Looking so innocent off they run
and now the clean-up has begun.

I can't stay mad at them for long
but the broken ornaments-that's just wrong!

an old alarm clock 
on the road, rusty ten past 
ten, mountains ahead, fine art
america in
the lower right-hand corner,
a wasteland, two yellow lines.

raspberry pink sky
flat-topped mountain ridge beneath. . . .
chocolate crust pie

clouds coalescing
trimming twilight’s slice of sky. . . .
dollops of whipped cream

Deal it down
aces high.
Give me something
or pass me by.
Need a flush now,
Royal if you please.
Triple sevens 
triple squeeze.
If your full house
puts me out
I'll find a game
to make me shout,
take me to my knees!
Hit me, hit me.
Hand is burning
after the flop
no money to drop
out
now....

tales told in the wind
          anecdotes of seashell bliss-
          echoes of blue in the sky
fictional sailing
          fleeing beyond eventide-
          ivory silk shades parchment

on our wedding day
huge dark clouds won’t bring me down
I’m simply walking on air
my large umbrella
stops my tresses getting wet
let the love rain down on me

Get off of our roads!
You're obsolete, an antique
Go back to Nineteen-fifty

You're blocking traffic!
What's that? Ha ha. You said that
-- You're a symbol of gridlock?
