Short Trios Poems

Dizzying alcohol
What is the sense
I believe
So….
Une, deux, trios
What’s your problem
Business my friend – business...

Parades of parades-
Couples and trios
A Sun present,
Sand rises to a projected
   screen in reflected flash-
Smells mixed in sights....

jazz cannibals
reign over new orleans
good weather or bad

smooth blues trios play
for those who savor flavor
and eat musics meat

They're pagans on ice with wood sticks
And maximum pain each inflicts
But Saint Patrick knows
God prefers trios
Like three-leaf shamrocks and hat tricks...

Autumn Menage A Trois


A Menage a trois of
Cascading leaves flow gently
on the pumpkin lawn

Dance happily free
In harvest gold festival
Autumn leaves serene

Illusions of scenes
fire flaming scarlet leaves
withering on stairs.

I made a faux pas – c’est la vie!
And asked for butter on my bread,
The other diners stared at me.
I made a faux pas – c’est la vie!
And then I wanted Earl Grey tea…
‘Il est Anglais,’ the waiter said.
I made a faux pas – c’est la vie!
And asked for butter on my bread.

For Cyndi’s Un, Deux, Trios contest...

A room of colours,
Hanging balls in varying shades,
Tapestry and artistry,
Drapes and balloons,
Hue and beauty,
Balloons floating in the atmosphere, 
Children running with them in pairs and trios,
Elastic bags pumped with air,
Elastic bags pumped with helium,
An aura of colours.

Oh, to sway in a hammock of palm
     Glistening in sunlight from our nearest star
Surrounded by trios of succulent mango
     Heeding the beat of a jungle psalm 

Oh, to rock in a cradle of cotton
     Tinted by prism of rainbow delight
Regaled by the whispers of breezy blue rivers
     Bedeviled by nothing, all troubles forgotten...

Behind the strong trunks of evening gloom
endless leaves sifting at toes
away and beyond in the low light fog
universal laws lead us home
trios of students examine life
inversely inspecting ideas and worms
fall lives adrift in the warmth
unkindled by muting life to death
leaven for life bread.

Fluttering winds, hair, friends
all swirled like a muffler taken to air
let us climb high toward heaven
let us swan dive into mulch with flair....

Saving a memory
because laughter splatters
across the room
rolling, clinking,
splashed smiles savored
like wine-mellow
with bursts of flavors
rolled along the tongue

Learning takes place
better when there is 
laughter and smiles
invite learners

Giggles, gurgling
eyes and teeth participating
who what questions
answers accents, soliloquies, duets
trios and groupwork

Sets of co-operative
silly making 
blessing the room
where we learn...

Lofty crafts of sensational creations, 
Oily traits dripping affections
Vulnerable hearts somersaulting
Evisaging allusive hyperbole. 

Damped dance, complex steps
Elating destruction with a breath
Acreage littered with confetti of gloom
Tainted trails, dainty doom
Hood hoisted, deep-six in hell. 

Track embroidered with bramble brier 
Innuendos of choices chunk at men
Mid-way mediator of the turbulent twain
End of love, beginning of death.

He gave me three books,
	such a gift,
those clean leaves of poems,
	that trio.

I rarely read books,
	though given
three prizes, that trio:
	cherished gems.

They sit on the shelf,
	not handled,
a gift from a friend,
	that trio.

They hold such a place,
	just right there,
the top of that trio's
	loved bookcase.

Those poems span centuries,
	so many.
A measure of treasure -
	and pleasure.

I do wish he'd call
	to see me,
ask me to savour
	this trio.
