Short Tahiti Poems

Did ever I tell you, sweetie,
About my grandpa Tweety?
See how you feel
In a cage, you heel,
While I'm off in Tahiti!...

Night
Sailing
To
Tahiti
I
Wish
You
Could
Hear
What
I
Hear

The
Sounds
Of
Angels
Sand grains
On
A
Hill
I
Am
God
And
I
Declaim
All
Roll
Down
Sand hill
End
Up
As
One

Noah, drying out
It is raining again
Oh, my god...

(Dedicated to Toni Marie Labadie.)

A little Tahiti
in our hearts abides
where you and I
love through the tides

Wherever we go
it's always there
under weeping willow
above solar flare

Yes, life is simpler
when I keep this in view:
My troubles aren't insular
My peace is from you...

TAHITI



If you leave, the island
Rests a sad face on its paws
And longs for your return,
Harkening for the oar-splash
Of your approaching boat.

If you never return,
It remembers your face
All  life  long.

Historical Note

Mutineers on the BOUNTY  had to leave the island and never return, but it stayed in their consciousness forever....

If a bomb goes off on a train or bus,
I guarantee the aftermath will not be too fabulous.
If I found myself in Haifa, Jerusalem, or Tel Aviv,
the first thing I would want to do is leave.
I can name so many other places for a vacation.
In the Middle East, staunch hostility surrounds this nation.
They are not shooting at each other in Tahiti.
How many terrorists are roaming in Hawaii?

She had a craving for something sweet
    So she got herself a sugar daddy
      He gave her all her desired treats
         And put them in a caddie
 She was his favorite candy

     He called her his Sweetie
         And  bought her diamonds and pearls
  They vacationed in Tahiti
      Where turqouise waves would swirl
 And she would rock his world
                            ~~
