venture past steep clay hills to situate the honeycombed vale
with hands swaying beneath green satin cloaks in our banana patch
fingers yellow varnished by a tropical sun will set sail
bunches bound for markets in towns we've known, before monkey gangs snatch
Where you are
From that far,
Becomes near,
By what we share.
In love web,
I meet this deb,
Give her my name,
Without any shame.
Where i am
Gives exam,
To your heart,
Mind and soul apart....
In love web,
I change this deb:
Lady to woman,
As a boy to man.
Where we used to be,
Seems too real to flee...
For uncertain quests work brings,
To lock our fingers in shining rings.
In love web
I search a deb,
So pretty cool...
Like a clean pool.
Where we are now,
Keeps people off how
The journey ended in praise,
Off all jokes the start displays...
In love web,
I situate this deb-
In the trap of words
Unlike promises of birds.
It seems too unreal,
Yet we do have a deal:
That journey to forever,
Will always be an endeavor!
In love web,
I find this deb;
For peace and care-
To bring lasting cheer...
Dear Soul,
If you sought the owl,
You would know
each Hour greets you,
You would find perfect gifts
in short days are the same with long kinds
Then you would wake, in a hail of their infinite awes.
Dear Soul,
If you sought out the Sun,
to teach you You,
You would know the bloom
and luminance will situate in you
You would mirror their travels through your pulse,
Then you would yearn for yourself.
Dear Soul,
If you sought out the moon,
to sing you love
You would see love sprout,
in all ticking Earth’s core as one earth,
You would see Sky’s eyes testify to this,
by their winks each night,
Then you would love to bloom
In textures, you have termed opaque daily.
Dear soul,
If you sought Sky’s Twinkies
in their birth,
You would hearken hymns they chant,
You would hold their sacred scrolls,
Then
you would discern yours.

surely would be great
while walking should stand up straight
to do educate
up straight way we stood
be able to and we could

a straight body enactor
like a protractor
had been disgusted
body broken and busted
so was adjusted
what we should select
chiropractor who is correct
best one did detect
my body was bent
Chiropractor had a hint
walk crooked prevent
they should integrate
best way body situate
then must consummate
Inside I find to see
what we find is about life that
we believe to be blue skys
We see
Things .. .
We find
Everything
Lakes of great beds situate to find
Blue skys that see through us
Together
We find blue skys that find us locked within strangers
Bonded and insured as one we license life
Together
We
Find

Holosystolic murmurs work requests
Autarchies endeavor translucent

Slow gestures refer

Heaven hovers over hope horizons
Which highlight the light and flight of the confidence
Concealed and sealed in my sentiment seasons
When happiness hastens my perseverance and persistence.
Heaven hobnobs with hope habits
Which coupled and pooled with happiness
Humbles, fumbles and mumbles mercies at rabbits
Which habituate and situate my crimson coziness.
Heaven hosts posts and pots of happiness
Blessed to impress stress relievers
Spun in honey and money business
Which conveys a convoy of bliss believers.
Heaven blesses and kisses the noblesse of couples
Whose mission meets marital measures
Moulded to dignify and magnify dimples
Which accentuate the contours and detours of pristine pleasures.
Woke up and these were on my mind.
Away, stay, say, may.
Waited, adulated, emulated
Contemplated, ill-fated, denigrated.
Send, extend, bend, attend.
Console, extol, sole, troll.
There, care, share, where.
Utmost, perfect host, boast, ghost.
Talented, prevented, consented.
Situate, hesitate, wait.
Obstacle, ridicule, mule.
Your limerick challenge for the day.

He tries again to situate his grosbeak
nose beneath his spectacles.
He twists the silver toothpick in his teeth
and hunches now a little more toward her,
saying “Listen, dear, I’ve said all this before,
and now I'll say it all again.
Perhaps this time you'll listen:
“You’re slovenly and gross. Your jowls
swing beneath your jaws like testicles.
Your mammoth breasts need tweezing.
Your freckled calves are carved of lard.
These things are true, my dear.
They’re not some crazed
vision of conjecture.”
The lady belches as she reaches for
a pickle spear, a slice of cervelat,
and begins to comb her yellow hair.
She hunches now a little more toward him,
saying “Listen, dear, I’ve heard all this before.
What’s happened here is eminently clear.
You no longer love me.”
Donal Mahoney
Balance is the soul of existence
Such consciousness sure liberates
For in the attainment of balance
The being is complete and whole
As all aspects situate appropriately
In every challenge the imbalance is obvious
For the keen eye sees opposites at play
Each battling to outwit and subdue the other
And so it can only remain as they oppose
Until a balance arrives to quell and calm
One gets opposed by two, creating flux
Until three, calm is elusive, instability sure
Since three wedges, according to the Igbos
When three locks, it is firm and steadied
Affirming the balance of the three, ‘Ato’
Then disregard the excitement of the first
Even the temptation of the second, ignore
The opposing forces become lucid and weak
Allowing the third to emerge unhindered
Rewarding the enduring with the virtues of Ato
Communication is association
Let the garden of thought flow
Great strides are made in venting
Simply voicing images, passion grows
Dreams situate themselves unknown
Independently arising, mirages blow
The floating energy grows titanic
Ambition unleashed in heat
Soon leading to decisive action
Even in our cardboard world
Mummies of memories spring to life
A verdant pulse is culled
Party dressed sized upscale.
Music situate spade release title.
Quiet toehold clubs.
Silently, silently, behind the bed stead of night,
Without any howling of moon,
Besides, walk along the clouds.
Walk silently, melt silently.
At the half- lighted pure hours of darkness.
If sun departs, night would not come,
Evening primroses open forever.
If twilight departs, sun would not come,
Nightmares shine forever.
I wish, the night is admirable,
I wish life ending moments with you,
I am afraid of death without you,
because, I do not know,
What has happened after death?
Without you, the winds are mischievous,
They come and ask me:
Create situate for me in your heart.
Why do not you come to me like them?
Oh! Listen to me, my life:
Yesterday, I did not sleep at night,
Ask me to come to you.
Place my head in your arms,
And sing a song for me.
Silently, silently, hug me for the last time,
Behind the bed stead of night,
Without any howling of moon,
Besides, walk along the clouds,
Walk silently, melt silently,
At the half- lighted pure hours of darkness

My Super Sonnet
Multiple overwhelming thoughts trample upon me in a wild way.
Stunned as well as in awe I am compelled to rise upon my own.
So then I thought no possible way, I will have to be overthrown.
Yes, I definitely have to be thrillistically creative every single day.
Now I am living it and now I know excellence so longer I stay.
Yeah, I do have it going on and got it all nailed to a white stone.
You see, now it is on! I’m sizzling hot up on my game full-blown.
Yes, yes, yes, we are on some kind of fire would you like to play?
I am going to think about you on this full moon.
Maybe you have dug yourself into a cozy grave.
Maybe you like the way I situate myself so soon.
Maybe its resistible greed or I’m just that brave!
Look! I’m feeling you out bringing you my super sonnet, a tat for tit.
Indeed! I’m your full spread of Par-Kay or Blue Bonnet, I’m up on it!
