Boys Dance

Ghouls Prance!...

Crisp leaves gaily dance
As red and gold parchment gowns
Swirl on Autumn winds

Dress in your purples, your pinks and your whites
To swirl a soiree of foliage brights.
June beams balmy moon gazing nights
And sun stacked sweetened strawberry bites....

  Mathematics is sure not my forte
  Nor are chemistry or physics ok
    I'd really like to roam free
    To study astronomy
  So I can 'star' in 'An Evening Soiree'...

A tussle
A fray
A skirmish
A soiree

A fracas
A fight
A scuffle
A blight

A scrap
A brawl
A melee
A free for all

A quarrel
A clash
A donnybrook
A birthday bash...

Going for a jog in the park today
Who am I kidding, what a silly thing to say
Walking is a chore
And furthermore
Broke my cane last week during a drunken soiree...

Going to see the beloved Nutcracker Ballet
Tchaikovsky's music, has enchanted us to this day
So familiar to all
Both big and small
A masterpiece for the ages, a magical soiree...

Lady Alice Hamilton from Nambucca,
Was a large lady that enjoyed her tucker,
            At any posh soiree
     She'd seat herself by the buffet,
Eating so much she would sometimes splutter....

Can anyone tell me what a blooper is anyway
Is it like a goofy unplanned accident at someone's soiree
Like a dark patch
A wee bit damp
While being filmed at daughter's graduation day...

Cheetahs reach speeds of 75 miles an hour
Takes 4 seconds, to reach max, other animals cower
Anticipating a soiree
Chasing a cheetah fillay
After the said encounter, they really need a shower...

mystique of Winter-white wings - soiree of doves
          long string of pearls dangling over décolletage
     ample hat covers her eyes with doveyness
intricate lace, feathers, flower, flowing, sensual, sensational

graceful dusk dancers
in step with the summer breeze
an evening soiree

fragrant bouncing blooms
along with green nighttime trees
undulate wildly

tall grasses quiver
birds dip while immersed in song
in firefly spotlights...

Read More

Dusk birds in clover
the purple fields of rich song
Gold day was so long
Flying in fragrance, darkly
mingling at evening's soiree

Through sweet green, dimly
on the summer night of nights
as red Mars wanders
Nebulous shapes flit moon hours
Avian verve in flowers...

The ability 
the agility
to cause your humility
you lose stability
as I show no civility
It is the will of me
Its like a pill to me
a hypnotic narcotic
you become neurotic
my lyrics they frolic
dancing ballet
your ears my valet 
to my poem soiree
you expected fast food
I fed you gourmet....

in the early month of May
sunsets pink & orange in Santa Fe
in a top down purple Chevrolet
radio rhythm songs do play

~^~

car club cruise is underway
Impalas, Novas, Chevys on display
route 66 rockin' in the U.S.A.
at The End Of Spring Soiree

freedom
skipping through colored leaves...
October pleasure

glimmering shadow
iris reflects autumn's leaves..
window of the soul

bucks' 
soiree...
mating season

golden morning sun
dances upon cold lake..
red maples undress 

autumn's blessings
color, comfort, harvest, rest..
respite from summer ...

  "Sunset Soiree"

Sunset sleeps gently
embracing creamsicle clouds
golden eyes weave dreams.

Yellow horizon
Heaven's shadowed silhouette
twilight canopy.

Potpourri of light
Earthly umbrella sundown
magical painting.

Sheer magnificence
silky cornucopia
flame glows God's sweet breath.

August, thou art not so kind
As the sweet soiree of May or June
You lack the patience that I find
In September’s hearty harvest moon

August, how you burn me so
While December’s embers play it cool
July can’t even spurn me so
And April’s yet a showered, flowered fool

August, thou art not so harsh
As the icy jaws of January
Warmer still than windy March
Or the frosty fangs of February....

The Seagull Soiree
Is underway
At least a thousand of them
Fill the sky
In seemingly haphazard
Flight
Stopping and starting
As they’re darting in the air

But perhaps they are really doing
Their farewell dance to summer
Swirling whirling
Laughing and squawking
Their avian talking
As they head off 
To parts unknown

So long, Summer Seagulls
Until we meet again

Dust laden window grilles, 
Lime scales on the shower door.
Detritus below the fragmented doors,
Commiserating the saudade and furor. 

Blackened cushions besmirched with dirt,
dusty sheath peeping thru sleek curtain pleats.
Scalloped valance swaying and bewailing in silent grief. 
Scattered around are the pages of the brief.

Culaccino marks on the table,
Shriveled up and dried plants silently standing in a row,
A zestful soiree, which took away all the glow long ago!
