tracks on fresh, crisp, moonlit snow
frozen woodland sounds...

Walter Cronkite,
Waxed erudite.
For fifty-six years he reported the news,
Trusted and revered for his truthful views....

Knowing the music wouldn’t last,
  his lyrics waxed poetic

Becoming immortal beyond the sound
 —all history bowing within

I am a Father
A father of two
One an Angel,
The other an Imp (devil).

The Angel starves
And is waxed lean
But  every second, the imp fattens
Feasting on my violence....

the classic doll in woolen overcoat
her kitten heels skipping along waxed floor
her baby bobbing along in her little fist
glassy eyed and painted smile of happiness

Hair done body waxed to silk
Expensive scent soaked body
Skimpy satin nightwear draped 
Boy she will love this

Mystical Moon

Sweet Selene shines soothingly,
Waxed full, full formed,
Portends potent portents of some import
Some silent, some spoken
Some sinister, some saintly.
Mystical moon, lunatic Luna.....

Cinderella was a starry-eyed lass
Dancing at the ball in shoes made of glass
While bolting for the doors
She encountered waxed floors
And unfortunately fell on her A$$!

Dusk bedecked as bride	
Finds clouds blocking sunny pride
And then night spread blight,
Thanks to a few glow worms’ light,
Honeymoon waxed like a tide.

If I am in Luck, Heaven is near
Showered and waxed,good atmosphere
Dressed to kill or should say thrill
His libido has gone downhill
Viagra worked, gave a thankful cheer

There once was a girl named Miss Curry
Whose brows always caused quite a worry.
She went to the spa
To have them waxed raw  
And now they're not nearly so furry.

Refusing to define
Even worse to explain
On the surface descriptive
At its essence mundane
Restating excuses
Ensconcing the lie
The sage waxed poetic
  —you still asking why

Oh you Lovely, lovely fool, 
Grace has escaped your mouth.
All the words and all of the lines
that you waxed poetic, how you thought they would free you from your prison.
Instead, they exact their ransom, and hold you to memory...

There once was a bee named Betty
who waxed warm for her friend Freddy
after a smoke
she got a poke
Now Betty is married to Freddy.

PS don't smoke and don't poke and you won't get pregnant!...

Levity of content
laced with rhythm and rhyme
label the limerick.
Lear waxed nonsensical
leaving lewdness aside;
Laughter through wit preferred.
Light entertainment verse.

Cars in the seventies,
Had character, you see,
Lime green Fords with stripes GT,
Waxed on weekends, thoroughly,
Double Cam exhausts with Mag wheels,
Now bland cars are the deal,
White, black, silver or grey,
Purple or orange cars just drove away!...

Humidity’s blanket rests upon the pond
frogs draped in lurid air
idle on glazed lily pads
waxed turtles gleam
amid the dance of hazy heat
a silent duck preens
as dragonflies swim
through moistened air
the heron waits.

Geriatrics plays 
this Puzzle now. 

I dance, but stumble
into a waxed window
without anything but
nakedness. 

Coarse is your
tongue
and dry are my 
interests in you. 

Once an icon, 
I'm prepared
to pounce
onto a different
Ending. 

If luck brings
an arrival of 
sorts....

Carried by the sights and smells, he waxed quixotic,
with sounds of vendors hawking wares, quite hypnotic,
a smorgasbord from mundane to the exotic,
yet all the while, undertones verged on chaotic.

Bright Marguerites,open and ablaze,
Reflected in a sunny haze.
Lilies waxed in a summer light,
A Jasmined fragrance to fill the night.

Perfumed petals,paper-white
Intoxicate,then delight;
Speaking volumes with words un-heard
Silent,flowers upon which all senses merge....

You numb my eyes
From tippity-top
To eight count plies
Rhythmic grooves 
Crossing hard waxed floors
Bouncing orange orbs denied	
Double bass pounding, pounding
In my ears
Heart
Pride
Moving like soft water
Untethered sass
Yesterday’s child
Today a Dancer
Numbing eyes...

In sleep, 
the clear hose is a needled razors eye and it is draining!
In my dream,
it is ten feet long, black polish, it is the start of our song.

Emo steps out from, his mirror, the two alone, smiling
together, waxed hard, 
out of sight, inside the darkest part of the mirror....

all gazing there up,
't was time to drop.
the cloud shift'd beautifully.
excit'd by the show,
our boys did ignore
the lazy lark wittingly.

while larks larked festive,
Ben waxed real sportive,
n'saw no trees shaking nearby.
a vulture schemed wise,
afloat their reverse,
the Choco won a goodbye....
