Flying with burning flames
Pride from the East....

He rode a trail from out west.
Twas at the sawbone's behest.
As he turned southeast,
Ran into Cochise.
So, now He's Mincemeat, They said....

The Medallion



I have searched the Earth for Mankind's birth
Stumbled across some petrified wood in the southeast
Inside was a medallion carved with strange markings
An inscription that said, we came in peace

At first I wondered
who are these old guys?

Inspiration then dawned
with the unyielding force
of a new day’s reality;
they are me!

I’ve gained no special options
apart from the others,
these fourth place winners,
of the Southeast Asian Team.

In their faces I see myself
as they sit wondering:
who are these old guys?...

Muse comes and goes
But tomorrow’s flow, who will know?


Only a grand orchestra master of words, as yourself -
Crafting luscious sensations of the mind to play on
Romantic side to lean on -
Caressing words to a starburst 


Passion flows from west to southeast 
May you grab hold and release your soul
Bare all, naked words that are so full of lust
Words drips from my lips to yours in lust...

Dark, heavy, layered dreary clouds
Bisk winds whip trees and grass
Cars still here and there seeking
What each home hasn't amassed

Will each home be filled with much love
Or will love, warmth be lacking
No one knows but those there living
Children know the slacking

Dark clouds roll in from the southeast
Filled with ocean's moisture
Will they drip their cold water load
Like tears of lost lover ...

My granddaughter is the cutest girl in Texas.
Maybe even in the whole southeast of the USA.
She was the most boastful grandma we met that day.
And we are all grandmas, with our hair of gray.

If I show you a picture it will dazzle your eyes out.
Her bragging was ridiculous, took form of a shout.
We said sure we’ll take a peek, and a peek we did.
She was not wrong; her granddaughter was a really cute kid!...

Great grandfather tree was wizen and wise.
He kept to himself, southeast of where the crow flies.
We ventured toward him whenever we needed advice.
He was usually entertaining the ducks, locust and mice.

Everyone in the woods gravitated to Great grandfather tree.
His advice was sage, succinct, and as easy to follow as could be.
You almost never got to speak to him alone, he was surrounded by kin.
Sometimes they had to part to let you wander on in....

Solomon’s secretive solemn sassy sensuous servants and songbirds
Solicited serious Somalian solutions simultaneously with South African,
Southeast Asian, South Dakota, and South America.  Squiffy, squirmy
Spiny specialized swordfish sent spiraling soon soared with sticky, 
Silly starfish wearing stiletto heels.  Surfboarders supposedly stepped
Over stormy streams to strip submarginal substances from slippery surfaces.
Sadly some suspected subterfuge....

The best pineapples are grown domestically.
They come from the Aloha State of Hawaii.
However, you can't buy them locally.
The fruit in cans may come from Central America.
Some come from Southeast Asia.
So, if you live in Alaska,
or any of the states in the continental forty-eight,
I have to tell you something that won't sound great.
No, you can't find Hawaiian pineapples on the grocery shelf.
If you want the real thing, go to Hawaii and get them yourself.
