Short Toast Of Poems

Toast of the country
from coast to coast
drinking in the adulation
  the songstress drowned 
  in her peregrinations...

Then

There was a time
we lit up a room.
Toast of the town,
roses' full bloom.
Now we watch it
from a quiet tomb....

He thought he’d be the toast of town,
Though most just see him as a clown,
Wasn’t invited to royal wedding ball,
Now not even to McCain’s funeral....

in this small village,
we have but one diner
I've sampled their menu before
and have but one complaint
the toast they serve with breakfast
seems like it came from bread
baked at the time of Ramses II...

Chartreuse with envy

In your shadow I walk

You're the toast of the town 

The whole world will talk 

Fame and fortune bound

And well on your way 

Your star will shine on 

While I waste away...

The advent candle is lit again
The Christmas cards are writ again
Beneath the tree gifts sit again
We’ve overspent a bit again

The Christmas table is set again
Our loved ones are met again
We drink a toast of wet again
And say merry Christmas yet again...

It's the New Year's boom
with colored fireworks lauding,
the toast of the town.
The proud, old guard has vanished,
with its dreams, yet unvanquished.

Hues light the plum night;
'midst crash and bang in the skies.
Starry-eyed moon glows.
The past's still following me,
but only in memory....

Lawn furniture flavored ice cream
	served in moxa cups
Candied eyes of freshwater bream
	pickled bushdog pups.

Pig pizzle wrapped around a stick
	grilled upon the deck
Woven rope with cat head and brick
	hung about your neck.

Marzipan violin bowed by a stoat
	badminton played widdershins
A toast of poison without antidote
	barefoot on needles and pins....

Your good love strengthens bones like sunshine 
My nose, a rose, a toast of red wine 
The great flames of passion licking hot
though evenings grow, firsts sometimes forgot 

Forgot that tender morn our eyes met 
Hot with extraordinary sweat, wet
Wine, a blush cabernet, sparkling smiles 
Sunshine spotless, a wonderful while 

Would I forget Heaven's first advent...

one lovely morning

                    warm smile,fresh air

                           light talks,

                         day dreaming.

                         A toast of love,

                        a scent of aroma

                 soothing in my membrane
                     
                      creamy and sweet,
 
                  a perfect moment indeed....

Christmas tree you smell so fine
lovely essence of the pine
decorations hung onyour  limbs
delicate ornaments as your trim
lights are strung with careful hands
tossing tinsel makes it grand
holidays smells of sugar "n" spice
children sneaking a tasty bite
holidays come just once a year
friends "n" family happily here
giving everyone a toast of cheer
all in  merriment we hold dear....

Only Leaves

Their numbers are overwhelming
golden and brown transversing my path.
I abandon every one in each step forward.

Green lives, lived,finally 
fallen to the battlefield of my morning walk,
some burning red, the last fire extinguished.

Others are dry and crisp,
burnt toast of maples,
drifting and rolling as Mariah scoots them.

Is it the wind;
or are these pointy little corpses
positioning for Halloween tricks?...

As a girl in my teen I did stray
to the circus I did run away
I wanted to fly
high in the sky
But, Mother wanted me to dance ballet!

Yes Debbie-Do flew upon a trapeze
in sequined tights with a rod 'tween her knees
her hair in a tail
her cleavage unveiled
I was the toast of the town if you please!

As I preened on the platform up high
and powdered my two hands and my thighs
one fine reporter
said I really aughta
Try out for the circus in Shanghai....

Rude but sweet 

You break the pipe of ice cream 
With the smile of cheese I saw
 the cartoon of rolling clever sweet 
little girl for the fight of atracting the 
 image below the house of heart  
without a word you said I am still in
 the part of my life and don't worry 
about my feelings because it's rude
 but sweet for you......
 I finish the sense of your word
  which is pure and simple like your 
rude but sweet toast of kissi cakes 



With love all 
Jagdish bajantri...
