Ring Tones
When choosing a ring tone,
Make sure it won’t grate
On your nerves or turn into
A sound that you hate.
They vary from gentle
To jarring or shrill,
While doing the job
They’re designed to fulfill.
We snap to attention
When hearing our phone,
So its ring should be one
We accept as our own.

Drollery The Antisetic Poet
Allusion the word used
it seemed out of place
and wedged between
repetition and simile.
Her thick English sounding accent
was as attractive as her
Gorgous face and , she had
more appeal then all the Ladies here combined!
She was talking about writing and began
bragging about the day she
was in Windsor Canada and meet
Feasty Broadway ( the world renewed)
Musician and singer.
She said

An Evening in The Tones of Rothko
The last embers of a sunset
sink below a dark horizon
almost mirroring a Rothko
painting in its somber
and weighted tones.
A sadness has found
a place to settle
for the evening
and is absorbed
by the water and sky.
It seems weary, unable
to take form in a thought
and be given a name,
but is more a shade
as that which inhabits
the

Miss Malone’s Dulcet Tones
The blackboard waited stark and bare
As yet, there was no teacher there
A striding vision, took the chalk
You know… I recognised that walk
Miss Malone’s Dulcet tones
Sent a shudder through my bones
Her flowing hair with blonde highlights
Her mini skirt and fishnet tights
The way she stood with feet spread wide
And the purpose in her stride
I gave my

Star-crossed at Karaoke
Mobile ring tones at morning light,
disturb the shapes under covers,
the outlined echoes of last night,
two star-crossed microphone lovers,
drawn from opposite ends of town,
yesterday’s pub entertainers,
way on down at the Old Three Crowns,
they met singing Gloria Gaynor,
ramped and amped with emotion,
to songs that belonged in the haze,
now wake to face their commotion,
the music of separate

World Music in Dulcet Tones and Duduk Vibrations
Across the globe, music ascends—a universal zephyr,
Bridging cultures in harmonious yearning;
Chords converge from Andes to the Zangezur, xenharmonic,
Dulcet tones of a duduk—in the air, they whisper.
Every note—an echo of humanity's vibration,
From flamenco's fire to the finesse of a cello's undulation;
Gamelan's gongs—a gamut of sounds' timbre,
Harmonium's hum—hearts and spirits, it serenades.
In India where the sitar intricately

Miles Tones
You spoke a new language
of rarefied air
guided nonchalantly
through curving channels of brass
Conduits of cool
juries of jazz
floating past soulful valves
harbingers of what will come
Slender fingers
improvising storylines
magistrates of melancholy
bailiffs of bop
Miles from the mainstream
a milestone

Autumn's Tones
Just before the touch of winter’s caress
Comes a moment when my heart must confess
Peace sways eagerly in the zephyr spice
Tempting autumn brings wonders so precise
Just beyond songs of summer’s gentling kiss
Comes a season when hearts feel such sweet bliss
Autumn shakes with splendor of summer’s end
Gasp of hope rustling light who will transcend
Just beneath the sprinkling

Eternal Vibrating Tones of Grace
Eternal Vibrating Tones of Grace
Eternal dawn, nurturing womb,
Hallowed pure catacomb
Romantic heart of fragrant blooms
Sparkling splendor enthroned
Love from eternity
Sacred vitality
Hope's opportunity
A heavenly wink from mercy's face
Eternal vibrating tones of grace

~~~~Concludes the poem "Dark Angel"
Tones
Speak to me in many waters
Wash away the dirt and grime
Lay my body upon the altar.
Transform me to another time.
May I be in line _ the first.
To press your palm upon my breast.
Quench this dry unending thirst
To calm my impatient heart to rest.
Alas!, You heed my being.
Offer me of your embrace.
For
