Short Urbane Poems

Listening to the winter rain
Sit we sombre wolves urbane
To the mountains, long to go
Where we listen to the snow...

Dr. Jekyll
smart, urbane
nurturing, dreaming, scheming
inventive, anxious, lustful, violent
carousing, raping, murdering
drunken, debauched
Mr. Hyde...

New York's a city

  still inhabited by man

She spoke of urbane gentlemen
and friendly squalls of rain
yet thanked Christ
for her baked scones
and well rotted manure
and gratitude for not being a Lioness,
a cause celebre never in the making
mopping the Freemasons floor...

*VIDEO of Hawaii 2023

Hawaii Explodes

A calendar marking succeeds
Absence time textures
Epic life, episodic love, eulogized loss
Enigma nailed to vacancy
The urbane explodes
Hark ambitions, "Carpe Diem"

Watching the descent
without god
in an intelligent design.

Come have a look at
our adversary.
The template offers an open hand.

The culture of hunger
in this urbane obscenity
sitting on the payment making a motif.

The giant strode into
the hut to blame the poor
who would not eat his words.

Many attempts made to alienate the biochemist, 
made a scapegoat by transitory in-urbane comments 
about his obesity, which did not flatter one bit.

But his capricious finding of what made malignant cancer cells 
dissipate and gravitate was so perspicuous and far-reaching,
he had been nominated for a Nobel Prize....

~~~~~  *-*  ~~~~~  *-*  ~~~~~
exquisite arc of spectral hues
come-hither, urbane grand milieus
sculpt in hands of God

sun, heaven and earth - equipoise
soothing beauty - effloresced rose
make sense ... go forth - trod.

Zoom Zoom went the organ grinder
As the panda bear bore delight
in its urbane mind set
Burning marigolds over wrought
only tell half the story as was
Jupiter jumping 
Nostrums for the retraining
A thousand dandelions heads
If they could only scatter mile high
Joking leprechauns come out laughing
in black dustbin liners
by the dug notre jardin...

Jensen plays to the skinless drum
Ten chocolate soldiers melt down
by the campside
Platitudes of the night
crimson altar affairs preside

I have forgotten your face
wish i was a pram
under full moon
grateful to be the new born
like a newly hatched larvae

An urbane man chased by 
bedraggled beagles
Forget the rest
cruelty at its own behest
treads to grey

URBANE DISDAIN

Rapier wit, persiflage and banter
In repartee, an eloquent out-flanker
Faced with insult, virulence and rancour
His response could not be ‘insoucianter’

When attacked or critiqued
He will not be piqued 
Smooth as whisky antique:
These - his words cool and sleek

“You’ve a face like a snapper,
 Your sister’s a slapper,
 Your mother is built like a tanker”

Listen to poem:

A Summer Vale

     Hints hailed she raised her ocher veils,
          Expose those enlightened from shade,
               Spun tales of yesterdays reveals,
                    Golden treasures anoint the blessed,
               The abandon of buttered skins,
          Urbane exodus blooms on roads,
     As summer vale blows saffron breaths.

FAREWELL, SUMMER

Housemothers twain, swaddled in sorrel fur

And bustled skirts, walking ‘tween the parklands.

Brilliant cobalt sky, above cawing birds,

Who demand substance, with their harangue?

So the fostering queens proffer their alms.

 

The badelynge of ducks, on polished ice,

Lambently advance with feral affray.

As morsels of cardinal fare, entice.

The attending dames in their tender, urbane way,

Have rescued these birds from another wintry day....
