New Years Resolution

3WW ...demolish resolution transform


my new years resolution is
to demolish my over imaginative
emotive embellished strident searing
vibrant aura and transform myself
into a beige taupe saccharine sweet
serene sanitized simpering mouse
and see what happens

Christmas Day

don't complain of snow
you could be here in white heat
baking festive frazzling hot
looking for a quiet spot
in the belief of penning
a poem for Christmas
among the crackled eucalypts
sand in your toes
salt in your eye lashes
blow flies floating in the drinks
rumple in your crumple
ants in your pants
MERRY CHRISTMAS

Risk

Should I jump or not?
Seems a shame to turn back now
Leave teddy behind

Give it one more shot
If you fall you are finished
If not,you're home free

Go for it they said
over and over again
encouraging her

She listened to them
but suspected their motives
and prepared for death

Doggerel

Rusty and Goosey (my favourite Sydney neighbours) and me wish everyone
A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR

For The Weekend

3WW...proximity retribution immobile

CHRISTMAS

es ist ein ros entsprungen
the sweetest season of the Lord
a proximity to wunderschon

salvator mundi
renders us immobile with awe
thoughts of retribution
slide away
with the falling snow

Christus vincit
Christus regnat
Christus imperat

Mon Amie La Rose

mon amie la rose
is no substitute for you
cuts thorns warts and all

TALLY HO

So there was a horse
behind your wardrobe and now
it has disappeared

Is Blondel hiding
in your wardrobe with Richard
le coeur du lion?

Richard the 3rd said
"My kingdom for a horse" bet
he regrets it now

Blondel hates horses
he would rather play the lute
for court sycophants

I have never liked
horses in the house it is
not acceptable

Richard has never liked
horses in the house either
he is civilised

What kind of people
keep horses behind wardrobes
strange ones that's for sure

Friends

i'm screwing your spouse
i know you don't really care
have mine, if you like

Christmas

at this time of year
i wish i was there again
alas i am not

For The Weekend

la voix de bon dieu
la voix de mon ame merci

Deo Gratias

The dark angel
visited me yesterday
showed me the movie
can't say
if it was in colour
or black and white

I have been warned
and shown the fire
Who do I give thanks to
God?
My ancestors?
J S Bach?

I give gratitude
love and thanks
to all of you
for my salvation
from the flames
yet again

I rejoice
in the truth
and only the truth

My soul soars
floating in the
celestial spheres
Leave it there

Deo Gratias

Non je ne regrette rien

I do have a few
but not too many thank God
time is very short

Cute Alain Chabat
is not much of a flautist
so what, he is hot

Sweeties all come out
on the town during yule tide
Christmas is special

I am addicted
to haiku of all strange things
this must cease at once

recovery is
not an option down under
it's a haiku place

packs several hits
in a few well chosen words
and Bob's your uncle

Go Genghis

3WW...flag might passive

for too many years
she sat passive
with the door mat flag
flying from her mast
until she decided
to join genghis
in an exhiliration episode
a fight with all her might

Gunnedah

Dorothea McKellar
Miranda Kerr
Erica Baxter
Gunnedah gels
beautiful blooms
from the plains
We grow 'em good here

Talk To Me

it's been a whole day
my mind is racing with thoughts
are you leaving me?

she fell deep into
the purple morning glory
and refused to budge

he took my red van
he's an uncaring bastard
am getting it back

it's raining and cold
i'm staying in bed all day
never getting up

i'm talking to you
i'm not a piece of dead wood
why not talk to me?

Comic Romance

at first it was snowy
that caught my eye
next it was your beige trench coat
and chocolate brown accent

hmmm a gumshoe adventurer
and definitely my style
it was fun for a while
then it wasn't

it's all about french
and trench coats i think

Balloons

Balloons always burst
Mine is flatter than pancake
I should never have returned
Another mistake

Family

The family that prays
together stays together
May God bless them all

For The Weekend

every ache and hurt
you have must be mine as well
let me take your pain
