For The Weekend

L'Hirondelle

Une hirondelle
fait le printemps
son coeur chante

one swallow
does make a spring
his heart is singing

Heaven

pitter patter
rain drops fall
music on a tin roof

Moon

the moon princess
drapes her kimono
over a cloud

she hides
from the twinkle star
behind blossoms

They shoot horses don't they ?

high spirited creature
they tried to break it
flogging and thrashing
drawing blood trying to
cripple it but nothing worked
some horses cannot be broken
so they lurked in the shadows
caught it unawares
shot it stone dead
buried it on all hallows eve
then talked of peace and love
and the horrors of war

Departed Souls

carpe diem

g and t
with a dash of summer
we miss you ruth

always summer
at rosie's place
two lovelies gone

One Of A KInd

 carpe diem

o for joy
our first  blossom
in the german spring
