Wild is the dawn, clad in lace and slight sheen.
The deep rose taste sends a dash of sweet zeal.
The love grasp, soaked in the swell of space song.

Shine like a sky
in this world where you were put on,
filled with different shades of blue.
Sometimes, it's baby blue
like the eyes of Maria,
staring directly at you,
like wanting to devour your soul
or drown you into her fantasy.
Sometimes its midnight blue,
like your soul is trapped
between night and day.
Sometimes its blue gray
when loneliness drowns your soul
like a swimmer on an endless sea.
But at times, it's royal blue,
that tells you, you're still the king
of your own world
or Sapphire blue that makes you see,
that your world is filled with different gems
for you to treasure.
*Title inspired by the song "Different Shades of Blue*

Bitesize Poem No.55 Poetry Contest
(Deadline: Thursday, December 8, 2022)
*Line Gauthier's poem title inspired this particular verse
**Bishop Sheen's book title inspired this one
Salome just loved gingerbread
But Herod misheard what she said
Who wants a dead head
To bounce in their bed?
So she dashed to the John instead
*Title inspired by Special Character, Ilene Bauer
How do cats know what we need?
It's so chilly this morning, here in
oh so still, golden, wine country.
I'm lying here snug on the couch.
Santorini-blue quilt, iPad, coffee,
writing poetry.
Here comes my warm, calico coverlet!
Jumping up on me.
Ah, her gold eyes like a warm
fireplace glow...
Her master pieced painted body.
The magical ebb and flow of blessed
warmth on my thighs, oh!
I call her, a bit of heaven on earth.
An angel, if you will, in disguise.
My calico, Irene, feline majesty.
My sunrise wine country surprise.
Sun Spirit, painting all the houses
a bright gold.
* Title inspired by my beautiful
daughter, Maria Elena.*

(title inspired by the Justin Beiber song)
Baby, you're like pastry
Shimmering
In florescent light
I want to caress
Your creamy chocolate eyes
Grab you
Taste the sweet jelly filling
Inside folds of your skin
My hungry hand
Pressed helplessly
On this window
Between you and me
Will you be my valentine?
Where are my memories
Where have they gone
New images come
But do not last long
Fear of loss fades with each passing day
As my memories lie still in decay
My journey is unknown to me
As my past is slowly set free
I say with love this one last time
To all who have followed and follow still
To names and faces and places lost
To all that has not yet been burdened by cost
To loyal and fearful friends and love's devotion
I am neither brave nor empty of emotion
As I wave from a distant window
And smile a knowing gaze
This one last time before the smoldering haze.
(Title inspired by the film Away from Her)
Who needs a your highness or sire?
Hillary and Jeb should retire
Though them we can chuck
The needle is still stuck
As behind the curtain’s a liar!
Author's note: Title inspired by Simon and Garfunkel's song. For a dose of the 60's check it out--fun.
When she gives a cough or a sneeze
Some wee trickles down past her knees
Her knickers are damp
She smells like a tramp
Dashing home so nobody sees
TITLE INSPIRED FROM A COMMENT BY ARTHUR VASO

It must be springtime
for she lumbers by her nest
below the fig tree.
Hatchlings soon appear
to scamper into the sea.
She cries out to, "Watch
for eagles above!"
then turns away; her voice now
in praise of new life.
... title inspired by The Song of Solomon 2:12
