Strawberries

With strawberries, never enough for me: drippy hands, splattered ceiling, slushy the floor. Fido, my best friend, just slid out the door. Perhaps, a strawberry bush, why not a strawberry tree? -- Fido wagged, nay!~ to a Strawberry Flea.

Remembering Marvin

For my friend Marvin here is a grateful song,
Woven from the memory of shared years.
His loyalty was legend his whole life long,
And his laughter like music even provoking tears.
.
Marvin was one of extraordinary style,
And a woven tapestry of compassion.
He was a steady star all the while,
Who lead with the keenest of a champion.

Laughter -For Lucille Ball

Laughter creased my face
With the wideness of joy in a darling
Hallooing loudly, Hawaii!
Making me younger with weakly wrinkles,
It warmed my heart with a flaming ring of mirth.
And I liked it.
I watched the waves as they rose and fell,
Like the big flattered locks of a comely
Landlady combing her tresses on a windy, snoopy 
Sunday morning.
And I

I Am Green

I am green, a color serene.

Shown as light or dark, and between,

From dress to decor, I will glow-

My birth gem is green Peridot.

I feel calm and poised every day!

In Springtime, light Willow Greens sway.

By Summer, deep Sea-Green runs free,

But by Fall, Pine Green's all I see.

Come Winter, Dark Spruce fills my scene.

I am green, a

Betty Boop!

 
     High praise for Talkartoon Betty Boop
     Her Jazzy theme song Poop poopy doop!
     Many have thought of her  a sexpot
     She’s innocence and sass, shy she’s not!    

PoPeYe!

Popeye

The Sailor Man comic strip Popeye
Superstrength from a can, Aye! Aye!
Mumbling’s —I’m strong to the finish
Toots his hornpipe— ‘cus I eats my Spinach!

Reciprocated An American Sonnet Rambo Tribute

All I wanted was something to eat,
what you gave me was disrespect. 
This fight in me belongs to each of you,
we all live under the American flag. 

I put on the uniform I held up a rifle 
to protect all of you from harm’s way. 
You think that would warrant a smile.
At the very least?

Milady’s Love

Milady, you were always loved
For twenty-five years, the people honoured you
They believed you were one of them
Not either royalty  or nobility
Just the same as they were
But you had someone loving you who you did not know 
No one knows anything about it
Just that it arrived on the day you were buried
Milady, it must have

JACK ELLISON IS NINETY YEARS OLD TODAY

August the eleventh is a very special day
Because happy Jack Ellison is ninety today
A talented musician he used to play the banjo
With the Canadiana singers, many years ago

A ladies' man with a keen eye for the fillies
Makes us all laugh with his limerick sillies
But Jack he can write serious poetry too
He's a proud Canadian through

A Special Place

Here's account of pleasure past,
As through it we are taken,
Not our eye but by our souls
Our memories past awaken,
Untouched, unchanged, vaults of time,
Will always remain unshaken,
For if it is that moment nears
To make a choice and change the years,
Defining who you are in here
The answer's never, ever, fear.
Lost in woe for thee we mourn,
We do

Reunited

In crescendos and surges of light,
Beneath the somber, crimson sky,
Beyond the shadow's line,
He stretched his wings in haste
He found and swept an angels heart;
They shine and struck embrace
And onward flew the angels,
By crimson flame and flash
We simply stood and stared a while,
And heard the trumpets blast.
We saw it singed and scorched in light
And in the

tribute to Ostira Goddess of Spring

she breezes in with the April winds
a lovely lass pure and romantically inclined
baby animals frolic with her in the meadow
the tulips struggle toward the sun to whisper hello
she is Ostira, Goddess of Spring

Refreshing grasses wave in wonderment at the princess
Iris stand proudly, hoping to be noticed by their monarch.
zinnias sit back and relax, confident in

Sinking Summer

Pastel flowers and velvet greens

quickly matured through July days;

refining fullness, but alas

surrendering to August's phase.

Too soon, this time will quickly pass

unveiling hints of Autumn's blaze.
