Weary whist of blight
Tenacious tines of winter
Stabbing my slumber...

Listen to poem:

When claims are questioned?
Don't try to explain!
Or admit you're wrong!
Double up, Go All-In, Misère !...

At the house of grief ..
On the beat of groaning night,
 I continued to dance.
....
Everything inside me cry
Oh sadness flakes, whist....

empathy
moistens eyes
whilst compassion
wingless flies 

wisdom bereft
heart can only feel
whist divine entwined 
our touch can heal...

His teacher said he was a ‘shining wit’
Little Jimmy was SO pleased
But when he told his mum and dad…
They could not be appeased!

Somersault, flips and swings like an oar
Cup of salt, flings and stings on floor
Powder of talc, smoothens all
Slides and glides over all
Skip, stretch, turn or twist
Huff, puff like whist
Heart and soul
Fly high
Hop...

Snogging memories

              whist dreaming of love’s embrace...

in Monday morning’s morass

              reality gets stuck,

as clanging bells ring the alarm.

Said touch, was warm as gentle
Behind shaded eyes, lips upon lip
In gestures there was an innocence subtle
No underlying desires or evil thoughts aspires
In their moment angel wings whist
And thus placed, a boy upon a girl kiss
Noses smudged and breaths
Like a dove's feather tickled...

To travel to another land
Perhaps those touched by sand?  
Maybe to the snowy peaks
Ti's adventure that I seek
To travel the world round and wide
With new friends by my side
Writing what I see for bliss
Maybe I'll play a round of whist
A poor wayfaring stranger am I
And I plan to be til I die...

afternoons Sunday
windows waddles so quiet
enjoying the door

moving back and forth
as the wind laughs blowing forth
a breeze mountains breath

out the window scene
so quiet window waddles
as I peer outside


moving back and forth
thus I witness all of this
whist I peek more

The sun and sand invites
Come and rest, bring your poetry notebook, find your calm place
See the sights

Write poetry fine
Stay, clear your thoughts in this whist space
Align

Bird calls
Waves, their paces
Drawl

The sun and sand invites
Stay, clear your thoughts in this whist space
Drawl

feeling the trigger points
of bliss electricity within
the aspect of us in form
delights at the offering
whist the aspect formless
witnesses the play in stillness 

the flame is an exultation
of ignition renewal continual 
as such egoless and genderless
being simply divine energy
expressing itself in body-mind
transmuting dust as living light...

April, you fetch flowers of spring to rise; 
Lacing in verdant green and fruit to reap. 
Gardens seed bloom, whist bees and butterflies 
Saunter by tippling passion nectar deep. 
Renew daytime length increase leaden skies 
Whist nighttime length decreasing; fitful sleep.

Professor Pipi was an ornithologist
                    He kissed a girl with a curl and named her Just kissed
                                     She was a bard of Lepidoptera
                                    Wrote an epic on Zeus and Hera

lingering in love's mist
in faint lines of brilliant light
an essence of love whist
as I return home to reunite
eternity's gift reign glorious sight

Take me away,
o rainy day
as your gentle waters
pass my way

Sweetly kissed
by foggy mist
my troubled thoughts
have fallen whist

What soothing sound
the droplets found
as on my roof
they dance around

The nearness of
the clouds above
has left the mountains
bathed in love

Purples, pinks
do cast their winks
and woodlands thrive
as Nature drinks

O rainy day
take me away
upon your wings
through skies of gray...
