A TV drones on
Background noise
Riffing on a trash can
Moments
Without moment
Motionless predators
Devouring their prey
Popcorn
Stuck between the teeth
A reminder of joy’s
Transient cheese flavored
Fingertips
Searching the remote
For the present
Deleting the detritus
Of a black and white past
The doorbell
Announces
An unsolicited solicitation
Breaking the mood
Of an endless
……moment
Mail comes
politicians beg
for money
I wish if I have to be part of the deal wish also a wish
of patriotism like never to betray here or near or
whatever rumors?, do you know how wide is the border
or bother?,
Do you know moon before the earth vampire's solicitation
or backyard?, imagine the political whims of nationalism
in peace or flower or blossom, very much we'll is such
cartering or caring to life and love.
I can't so joke or play or waste much time until I know
whether the english man is dealing magic
or pun the mustang horse
or mushroom rice or beans or moon
or even sometimes absorb her whims
or whether yesterday things were both nationalism
and patriotism and hope of many, many, many peaceful
world or astang-
Or what do you think is solicitation in fantasy and mystery
except sometimes the woods is a glimpse nightmare
leaning skeleton of some of our whims?, or glass
or something in the mustang horse?, I can count how
many times the moon is a reign is an english rumour
or whisper, tis neither too blue or old or black, yes
astang?.
The mind creates forewarnings
That the heart chooses to ignore
Just to have the feeling of being adored
The butterflies in the belly
Has the ambience that is exceptional
But doesn’t make you qualified
For the journey straight ahead
Don’t you see the caution signs
That are blinking blood-red
There is a threat
Can’t you smell the scent of death
Solicitation of a place that is bare
Certainly there is no hope
An invitation of anxiety
When the other has files
Marked confidential
The information is essential
One should know their partner’s credentials
Love is a mirage
Love is hazardous
Beware with caution
Money
The most preferred content of a bulging envelope
For those with a project to develop!
A solicitation by the poor,
With sometimes bent knees on a floor.
Tempter of twenty – first century thieves
Hoping to receive the accolades of Chiefs;
Motivator of wildfire ambitions!
Rooms widening for intuitions!
A guarantor of treasured privileges,
Has had people plucked from stagnant villages;
Money is a capital concern to all bursars,
As much, the singular obsession of grabbing misers
To whom making it is pretty hard,
Once with little, turns its fierce guard!
Not itself an edible
But makes each one saleable.
The reward to tune-singing piper,
His beads of perspiration, best wiper;
The trusted charmer of a woman
To nearly all her man says “Amen”
10,
Hot wax drips, honeysuckle lips
lavender scent, mind held waft
slow dancing
with a body so so soft
sexy sweet in blood red stelletos
picture perfect mirrored off the wall
but it's more that seduces my mind
than the way your enter my eye
a sapiosexual solicitation of surrender
surrounding my constant inner thought
trusting of wit
caressing each and every bit
and byte/bite
of my attention
a love drunk intervention of must
I lust
your spoken word
and your lighted soul
burning brightly inside
my yearning heart rises
to your harp~like voice
and leaps like a Wolf
at the whisper of your name
etched on the body of life
Solicitation
We cross the bridge of life as two.
The path goes on, no end in sight-
just that fine line 'tween sky and sea,
warm sunny rays or cold dark waves.
Our hands held tight, blindly we walk
not knowing when- or what will come.
We pray, as two, we'll cross that line-
still holding hands- into the light.

THE MEERKAT
Meerkats are delightful beasts,
Arousing warm affection
They stand in groups discrete
Looking in the same direction
COW
How now brown cow
A bestowal to the world art thou
Miracle of God's construction
Four stomachs in mass production
THE PIG
Our blessings upon you abound
In our hearts you did awaken
A sense of gratitude profound
For bringing home the bacon
CHICKENS
In these days of Genetic modification
There is a question that begs
Should we yield to the great temptation
To get a chickens with four wings and six legs
THE URBAN PIGEON
I've nothing against the urban pigeon
But could it not maintain a smidgeon
Of caution when it makes its flyway
In the middle of a six lane highway
THE ANT
The ant delights to frolic
In Formic acid vitriolic
But on the tongue of the Ant Eater
There is nothing could be sweeter
THE BULL
His spontaneous emanation
Given without solicitation
Should encouraged him on a mission
To be a salesman or politician
'Hello', I said on my cell phone.
And after hearing only silence,
I said, ‘one moment please,
I would like a chance
To feel a cool breeze
I need to clear my mind
From a constant sneeze’
‘Oh, I’m ready, who is calling?’, I ask,
‘Fine meats from Kansas City?’
“Yes” he said in such a lively tone.
“The best meats one could ever own.”
‘Not for me sir, no matter how good
As I am living and just making it alone.’
‘You’re selling on the phone
My yes answer is the key
But when my brain’s full
I need to set my advice free
Patience is a great virtue
You’re a patient man indeed
But trying to sell to a poor man
Is no way to ever succeed.’

rosy cheeks looked at him from the Corner of her
eyes, beckOning him oVer to her solicitation of lovE
and sexual desire. She kept winking those big eyes,
determined to Reel him like an easy fish, baiTing him
in with her youth and beauty, a race course Of curves,
no man would not want to speed his Car in. Her track
gorgeous. Her Oval better. A haven to challenge quest,
beVy of love and thE climax of adrenaline. She kept

notes-acoustic reading book; message cover to cover-solicitor read her mark like a book, cover to cover, under the guise thereof
You walk around,
felling like you're above the law
Shielded by family immunity
Get disorderly when you paint the town,
brawling, hitting people in the jaw
Yet you're called a pillar of the community
You lack basic people skills,
heredity always handed everything to you
A silver spoon fed spoiled brat
Never had to pay your own bills,
you said that's what little people like us do
Society traps don't catch aristocratic rats
Tapped into the trust fund
when you turned twenty one
Such is the privileged life of a senator's son
Picked up three DUI's,
and a couple of solicitation violations
Even got caught with an unregistered gun
No charges ever stuck with you,
a Teflon man through and through
Parlayed your inheritance into racketeering too
But you don't care, you're ruthless like your pa ...
taking other people's money is what excites you
Extorting at every opportunity
You sneer at judges with impunity,
'cause you own more suits and uniforms colored blue
And you love being called Big Daddy's little outlaw
Out into the garden I would go,
To smell the perfumed daffodil,
When I would begin to throw,
My feelings in full intent and will.
Thy delicacy evades description,
But I know that it does not,
Since thou art nature’s solicitation,
Evolution’s prime living pot.
So bold a plane will surface me,
Tender me until I cannot hide,
Playfully withdraw my sobriety,
Until I am able to myself abide.
With thee, I know humankind’s bleeds,
And from Wordsworth, king and pundit,
And my gratitude to him intercedes,
The bitterness of god’s gambit.
Sweet daffodils, thou givest memory,
As the master nobly concluded,
Because that moment thou didst vivify,
Is brought back whenever regarded.
Limerick: Once Cute Pute in Gay Paris called Miel
Once Cute Pute* in Gay Paris called Miel*
Plied her trade around a Ferris Wheel
Rode them roller coaster
Spun them on wheel later
Got lush cut on fines for police squeal!*
• Pute: stands for “prostitute” in French
• Miel: for “honey” in French
• A new French Bill, dated December 7, 2011,
proposes the fining of prostitutes’ clients. French law,
by and large, tolerates the profession, even if overt
solicitation, procuring, and prostitution of minors
IS NOT. According to French law, sexual maturity
is recognised at 15, but for prostitutes 18 is the
legitimate age. Prison sentences range from 2 to 7
for related offences, and fines can run up to €100,000.

The ring and the violet represent, love
Happiness, and careness.
Extraordinary our love shall be.
Reply to my love with a yes.
I imagine you in your beautiful dress
Nervous to death I am, by
Giving you this ring i mean nothing but respect.
Allow sometime for your response.
Never have i
Dreamed of finding anyone like you.
The meaningful flower that my lover requests.
Hoping to find the precious violet.
Eagerly i call every store to find this beauty.
Violets i have found, finally
i have finished my search, for
Only the best my
Love deserves.
Exited and nervous i am.
To finally give my love what she wants
Surprisingly happy she is to see my solicitation and with a ____ she ends my quest
