a huge sombrero
his visage in dark shadow
lying eyes hidden

Inspired by picture!

There once was a smooth caballero
Whose back was as straight as an arrow
The women all swoon
By the light of the moon
And love his decorated sombrero...

Sombrero Mice

There’s a family of tiny Town mice,

Living in a Sombrero Hat.

They’ve been in there since Tuesday

Well, what do you think of that!...

Mexican rooster with a sombrero so blue
Played a ukulele with his thumb on his shoe
We stood by and watched, ate taco pie too.
Loving the ambiance as we ate up our goo....

A lively young man from sunny Mexico,
With a giant sombrero was on the go,
Celebrating every kind of fiesta,
Wouldn't sleep when time for siesta,
Must be jumping beans making him flow....

Trump Spread Out

Trump would some spread out like a  sparrow;
Then he had covered it up with his  sombrero;
Found on file;
Monkey  trial;
Does believe he is related to Clarence Darrow.

He was a goofy kid 
wearing a velvet sombrero. 
The only reason I 
ever hung around him was 
the laughs, 
and the contrast between 
he and I. 
He didn't listen to music 
and I was 
okay with that....

Sombrero acentuado
Nuez gravitacional
Medio puntero cenital

Seriedad cuadrilátera
Olímpico vertical
En camino a contactar

Sutil contradicción polar
Magnetismo englobado
Suspende la relación
Obra clave incidental:
Estática explosión

She lived in a giant sombrero.
West of the precious Rio Grande so narrow.
She certainly never did care-oh,
That others made fun of her lair-oh.

House built into an enormous sombrero,
Was laid out as straight as an arrow.
Outside was her sweet red Camaro.
She was my cute cousin, La’Dareo....

spring wakens my tree -
a bejeweled perfumed bride. . . .
love birds make their nest

summer’s yellowed lawn
beneath my tree’s sombrero. . . . 
grass breathes sweet relief

fall’s quick change artist -
from green to gold to crimson. . . . 
disrobed, my tree naps...

I don’t know where you came from
Could not even take a guess
Did you jump off of a train car?
Are you from the Wild West?

You’re wearing a sombrero
And a pair of running shoes
You’re dancing the bolero
And reading local news

You brought me homemade cookies
And some milk to wash them down
Of course I’ll have some hard candies
You’re the coolest granny in town!...

You're wearing a  Sombrero
though you're not on holiday
Do your children wash
behind their ears?
An aladdin's  cave is awaiting you
Its down Croydon
with a topical Sunday Market

The Autumn crocuses 
hypnotize you like unwritten sentences
We fled in grief
drawn to dark stained sands
Why not scorn the passing centuries
with the spat mouth of roots and berries...

When does a dog turn into a hog?
Ask auto correct
When does a story turn into morning glory?
Ask auto correct

I actually call it auto incorrect
after my  1975 Camaro
Turned into a  look less than alive sombrero
When I text my sister
She gets angry ‘cause she thinks 
I have called her a mister

Thank you auto incorrect
I will get on my dog now
and cruise with my motorcycle gang.
Wait a second!
Dog…..no!  Hog. Yes!...

I wanted a larger sombrero, the spoiled child said.
Weird since she had a ten-gallon hat on her head
That’s all you are getting, her mother said sternly.
But she kept grousing and griping, this child named Hernly.

Her grandmother said “Fine, I will take the hat as my own.”
Hernly had such a fit, she was soon all alone
Except for her old-school grandmother who had a flyswatter.
What are you doing? Asked the naïve spoiled granddaughter....

Mariachi beats are unmistakably Mexican, sassy as salsa
Hot and spicy, the sombrero on the floor hops up and down
Carnival dance battle begins with the traditional janabe tapatio
Crowd marvels at the precision of the couple’s moves

Courtship unveiled as the dance progresses, he is pursuing
His efforts refused at first, her China Poblana dress flaring
Female dancer finally accepts his advances, her handsome man
He gives the crowd a happy wave, showing off his charro suit....

I will mourn for you today,
and ache for the comfort
of when I used to lay my head
across that Buddha belly of yours,
and you used to sing me 
your drunken lullabies
(though I knew no difference
at the time). 

And I will listen
to this song:
mariachis' high-pitched gritos
accompanying the blaring
brass-tasting trumpet players.

This time, when I see you
dancing to it, sombrero atop
your silver strands,
you won't reek
of that amber-colored
death
anymore....

Se queres empreender

Se queres empreender
[...] se queres 
empreender
Seja homem ou mulher 
Não crie falas grandiosas  
Mesmo que as grunhas escondidas
Gostem muito e riam! 

Não ponhas 
O acessório idiota 
Nem o sombrero 
do México 
Não ponhas 
O perfume escaldante 
Nem o batom 
Exótico. 

Põe flores 
E alguns beijos...
Ternamente depostos 
Nos seus lábios 
Põe notas 
Em bonito ramo 
E depois canta-as
Começando 
No teu coração 
Cante Alto e para toda a gente...

Burst of brandished flaming arrow,
Thump of bunnies against my chest,
Cupid’s straight pointer did narrow,
Continue my family crest.

Squawking souls of birds in my nest,
Potent from moonstruck bolero,
Crescendo of lust’s citrus zest —
Cock-a-hoop’s sunstruck sombrero.
