calme-toi cherie
you don't have to begin again
it has been a life time of
over and over again
ca suffit
too many times already
you've made it into old age
miraculous
don't push your luck
enjoy the time you have left
qui sait ce qui peut arriver

he met her at reess
he lost all balance
fell head over heels
for her beauty
nothing could compare
love is blind
you can 't buy love
he changed
turned over a new leaf
donated all his wealth to charity
then naturally she ditched him
there you go
another sad tale
lonely times
a young traveller starting out
knew no one
visited you almost daily
in the national gallery
derived some solace
from your lovely gentle face
left and went elsewhere
forgot all about you
until years later when
i saw you in that hong kong bar
Portrait of Man With A Quilted Sleeve....Titian. 1510... National Gallery London
A CINQUAIN FOR DODO
you say
you don't know why
the little bird visits
every day he sees your kind heart
your soul
he knows
a good person
our birds are prescient
they instinctively sense kindness
and love
front, foremost, fierce, fiery, fussy, first, finest, find, foot, faint, feel, flimsy
JOB INTERVIEW
you're in front
first and foremost
if you don't come across as fierce
fiery flimsy or fussy
find a way to
appear terribly interested
put on your finest performance
even though you feel faint
try not to put your foot in it
pity
humans destroy
a planet so gorgeous
so beautiful so magical
it's sad
it's our
god given gift
so we pollute it our
senseless greed destroying it for
us all
optical
illusion methinks
or perhaps
it is real
or it could be too much booze
after a night out
guilty pleasure
3 am
eating an ice cream cone or two
topped with walnuts and chocolate
in bed without fear
of being caught
breaking the rules
one of the good things
about being a grown up
CINQUAIN
calling
the shots is great
being in charge is good
you can break your own rules without
censure
chocolates
cup cakes and tea
great comfort food
enjoyed
by wicked old ladies
so many went to her wake
meaningless words
tributes wafting about
like scrap paper
blowing in the wind
no one was there for her at the end
it's the age old story
sad but true
spoilt for choice
red one had appeal
an apple
adam's doom
eve's beauty was convincing
a promise of bliss
on balance
he got off scot free
eve was blamed
a temptress
and ever since women have
copped the brunt of it
SHADORMA
slice of life
you wouldn't want mine
lots of woe
a bad time
dogged by ill health and worries
doing it alone
creeps can ruin
an entire nation
does not take
very long
happened before happening now
GOD SAVE AMERICA
so true
happening now
satan's spawn is winning
overriding democracy
once more
danger
for everyone
oz stood up canada
stood up- good election results
thank God
let's hope
sanity reigns
tyrants will lose the fight
we will rise up against evil
and win
no
longer
young
she can
still dream of
dancing
with
a sweet
handsome prince
not fleet of foot
anymore
tip toes
nor
spritely
she recalls
the good
years
being
young
Waltz Wave Form
1–2–1–2–3–2–1–2–3–4–3–2–1–2–3–2–1–2–1;
her mother
told her that she was
born in a
cabbage patch
guess that is the reason she
has always been green
CINQUAIN
librans
like harmony
get on well together
match made in heaven if you can
find one
coughing and sneezing
flu season is upon us
raining day after day
the sky an army blanket of grey
frogs are having a field day
croaking in jubilant harmony
time to bring out the fur rugs
autumn leaves not drifting by
my rain splattered window
lie in soaked heaps
a paradise for mosquitoes
time to make chicken broth
grandmother's penicillin cure all
the supermarket symphony
plays its seasonal overture of
coughing and sneezing
