To slash and parry your blade
And into the battle you wade
Feint, strike and advance
Though you may death chance
Your foe will still say: Well played!...

There are some people with hats galore.
That is not the case with me.
I have just one hat, and I don’t need more.
It’s the only one I like, you see.
My favorite hat is a black suede derby....

You could knock him down, step on his face,
and besmirch him all over the place;
but his shoes—the blue suede—
which were faves, custom-made,
never step on, thus bringing disgrace

Coffee maker, 
Toaster, blender,
Dish rack: black. 
Peplum suit, black 
Suede shoes at
Fifties' wedding, 

Black lace nightie
For nuptial bedding,
Closet full of midnight 
Dresses. Why does 
She love black? is  

Anybody's guesses....

Dark murky in color, worn down.
Twisted pump, no heels.
Suede black uneven shine.
Bumpy not smooth.
No brush to bring back luster.
No light shines its cluster.
Just dull and grey, like
a rain filled day....

She wore blue velvet

And he had the blue suede shoes

Hes blue cause their through

This little boy blew his horn

What ever happened to pink?

Black suede.
Elevating laughter.
Closing in on the prey.
Kindling for the weak.
Obtrusive against the youth's will.
Naked to only his eyes.

Tragic.
Outcome.

Hindering the passion.
Instincts tell you otherwise.
Succumb to the will of the beast.

Proud
And
Intelligent
Nature....

there once was a gal named Sue
her boyfriend loved wearing  suede shoes
they had a big fight one day
and needless to say
Sue threw his suede shoes away
they made up  thereafter
that was a disaster
he tried to get violent with Sue
that was a mistake
his arm she did break
and now the poor guy's black and blue...

Nature is tinkering
And timber
Leaning on the rope
To the law of gravity
While breaking branches
Sharpen the storylines 
I am using this saw
To divide infinite numbers
So that my suede shoes
Are merely muddy moccasins 
So, the sticks are stacked
And she’s dragging her own limbs
To the heaving heap...

The snow is falling down the moonlit bay,
the wind rushing on the gorge.
Your cold head rested on the sand with mine,
with passion, facing the veiled skies.
Suede scorched suit of winter dreams
filled the years passed. And now, 
we search through our sacrificial eyes,
speaking with the falling drops of  tears....

When the color blue
Comes over you
A feeling of sadness
will ensue

But on those days
when skies are blue
The sun comes brightly
Shining through

Tune in your radio
for some rhythm and blues
And rock and roll
with blue suede shoes

Or you could go sailing
on the ocean blue
Ride the waves to blue horizons
You may even see a distant  star
Or a blue moon sailing by Mars...

Those red suede boots came splashing in
With the pride of elephants, dangling fringe
I got out of the way, my mouth to my chin
Others were terrified, some did a cringe.

Nancy Sinatra could not have done any better.
Those boots were prancing up like an Irish setter.
I backed up toward the wall, and let them pass by.
Too terrified to squeak out the teensiest “hi”....

Happy Birthday Elvis!

You're  74.

The King of rock

Missed evermore.

Your shoes of suede 

And eyes of blue.

Your songs so sweet

And rocky to.

Amazing grace and

Hound dog tunes.

Will live forever in

Graceland's tomb.

If you cannot go

Help celebrate.

Come visit with me.

It's not too late.

I can't find Elvis
I have been looking everywhere for Elvis.
I told his ma'am that it would be alright.
I found his teddy bear and returned it to sender.
His blue suede shoes are in his bedroom.
And the pink car is located in the driveway.
The jailhouse isn't rocking
So don't get all shook up.
He 'll be home for Christmas 
But right now i'm a hound dog 
That can't find Elvis....

Despite Rainy Weather!
Rain serpentine,
May give a bleak fume,
But Barbara & Chaim measure,
Out clever the uneven,
Together make room,
One for the other,
Surely not squeaky clean,
Nor, smothering “Unum”,
Breathing smooth as suede leather,
Soft width awe, we dream,
Making “Boo Boos” numb,
19! Gematria Ahuvah!

Unum as in one E Pluribus Unum
Ahuvah is Beloved in Hebrew

Dark as the night of 
the soul, 
That's seen a thousand
black holes 
You wait on all fours 
ready to kiss my ass-whole. 

You're hard, 
Coated in Sweet bliss
Crystalliss
That twinkles in the 
Tea Light. 

The dark horse 
Amongst a herd of
Leather suede and hide, 

I choose you
My perfect throne,
Regal and subdued
You're the perfect 
prelude
To one's raging 
Side....

In the 60’s, I would binge
On anything that sported fringe.
My leather jacket decked with beads
Had fringe that such a jacket needs.

My brown suede belt I wore down low
To hug my hips (the status quo)
Had fringe that anyone would crave.
(I wish that one I’d thought to save!)

I have one fringe-y sweater now.
Designers seem to disavow
This style, but if I’m on the fringes,
Joy in me this fringe unhinges....
