flick of
a brush
in time&
space
to bring
a symphony
of tones
the art
of allegory
with
minimum of paint
maximum
of reality
with
tradition traduced
timeless truths
&
sighs
evoked
in
meaningfilled eyes

One-word contest begged participation.
Putting my mind in acceleration,
I entered with the word - celebration.
Ordinary days need jump starts. I see
each day as an excuse for a party.
Salute relationships hot and hearty.
It takes some effort, commemoration -
sharing food, fellowship, fabulous fun.
Stay six feet apart and keep your mask on.
What did we celebrate September 5th?
Derby's Velazquez, Authentic's horsesmith
and National Cheese Pizza Day, forthwith.
September 5, 2020
** celebration **
Bobby May's One Word Contest.
My one word originally won a second place
however one word is not enough
to qualify as poetry.

Love, an atom,
destroys our life.
Love, a poison,
carries our death.
Love, a storm,
uproots our peace.
Yet I am ready
to die for love.
What a tragedy,
I die for love!
------------------
Spanish Version
Amor
Amor, un atomo,
Destruye nuestra vida.
Amor, un veneno,
nos conduce a la muerte.
Amor, una tormenta,
Desarraiga nuestra paz.
Sin embargo estoy listo
para morir por amor.
Que tragedia,
Morir por amor
