Clowns woes
sure blues

Loud woos
they loose

Foul play
makes day 

All shout
get out...

we ask for his word 
although he is wayward
it matters not to us
if his actions are untoward

the play is enacted 
in as is ordained
love woos love
till love is ingrained...

He woos her with his smile.
Time coos mile after mile.

The moon is mild
like a child's charm,
yet wild; she woos.

The Sun-ray sings,
with her wings' weight,
and rings to rouse.

The wind whispers...
light lingers on
dreamers at dusk....

Moments before lower mind drifts into sleep, 
awareness self-aware, in the vast bardo,
sans identity, as pristine soul presence,
woos the universe to infuse magnetism
within our childlike heart, yearning for God’s touch....

Listen to poem:

Ooze, a squirt with perfect onomatopoeia
A slow leak, exudation or seepage
A slow plunge into thick mud sucked
An outflow all over, a disseminated discharge
That cannot be held back or stopped
A slow steady ooze seeps spews woos...

Quatrain #796:
ZEST


Zest woos the best if you but see,
Etch a sure fest so joy may be;
Savour bold quest with beauty bright,
Taste wit and jest with soul set free.

Meet moments meek where wonder woos,
Opt what you seek from within you;
Reach for sure peaks in challenge bold,
Expect to tweak the acts you do.

Woman
Vain, visceral,
Temptress, shrewish, fickle, 
beguiling, bewitching, winsome
Woos man.

Last light
Nude night


Deep dark
Apt ark


Proud poise
Vet voice


Sense strange
Crisp change


Niche now
Haste how


Wit woos
Dare do


Frame fate
Draw date


Sweet sighs
Hug highs

What’s that my love;
As such so alone;
Blood runs cold hearted;
Publicly shunned;

Heart bleeds love;
Pumping blood;
Sadden woos;
Spiritual blows;
Publicly shunned;

Heart bleeds love;

embrace of space 
caress of silence
woos us to awake
from deep trance
that we sing a verse
inspired by the universe
to do so requires
that ego identity shorn
we become twice born 
becoming the flow of life
mindfully inking with joy
the screen of awareness 

which we are...

Wise wonder woos
Treats trouble too


Feel fond fancy
Work words wisely


Dream dance dwelling
Touch time telling


Blessings beam bright
Sense sacred sights


Rich rhymes ringing
Boost bright being


Vouch vivid voice
Prime piquant poise

My heart has stopped, beating;
An yet it has not ever been frozen, before;
My mind is clouded impressed by her woos;
Never guarded in my entrustment of her scorn;
Oft, in times my love for her is worn;
Stopped heart beating not;

I hear the wild wind whistling
through the willows,
a wily, wanton wind with wicked ways,

    It wails 
        and writhes 
            and wrestles 
        with the windows,
        
And woos the trees 
    with its wild, wicked gaze,
    
But when it's done, 
    it disappears 
        without a trace....

Cryptic metaphors
Extinct dinosaurs


Rancid meaning squeezed
Fleeting as stray breeze


Moments in full blaze
Fiery that old maze


So much voice to bare
Swirling with grim stare


Not much more to do
Unfurls lore that woos


Then fall short of breath
Accept poise in death

Quietly, feathered soles steal across fields
soft as Choctaw spirits' slipping shadows;
frescoed frost glazes summer remnants of pumpkin and persimmon.
The blackberry moon bends low,
pursed lips lingering and slow above Earth's alabaster face.
Past and present blend in one short span
when winter woos the autumn moon.

Apt as the word,
Prosper your day;
Live and be heard,
Expound grand play;
Note good feelings,
Touch a fond reach,
Yield warm being.
See thoughts most rich,
Use mind and heart,
Charm woos sure grace;
Choice helps to start,
Expect fine trace;
Sense cheer fund joy;
See faith firm ploy.

Easy floats breezy
Crudely taints comely


Blindly knows vainly
Moody fakes jazzy


Folly feels jolly
Picky pokes messy


Silly slots pouty
Loudly drums petty


Empty words plenty
Greedy falls madly


Calmly woos happy
Sporty knows sexy


Pretty prompts sweetly
Happy charms wisely

Meet a new form,
Urge woos a feel;
Sounds that feed norm;
Instincts that seal;
Charm in sure range.
Sense in clear pitch;
One swirl most strange,
Notes that flood rich;
Glimpse of bliss sown.
Deed in brisk tact;
Apt grace now known,
Niche in swift fact;
Cheer knows no fear,
Escape endears.

   My intricate interlacing strokes
           mirror the swaying
               interweaving 
          of her skillful dance

          She divests playfully
                  just a bit

   She woos me with importunity
            yet needs me not
             I close in tightly
            yet need her not

       How faithfully we dance...
