AYE THERE BE HOPE
All you paragraphs, sentences, phrases abide with me.
For within your clauses are the causes you see.
So voiced are the words written
Into silence on pages, paper and eletronic being.
Fitted to sorrow, to joy, to
Pandemic depressions to 
Poems and to hope.

 GLASS STILLETOS 2018

He wears his tux so handsomely. And she just meeting his sholders, in her glass stilletos. They pledge their love with romantic songs, now that the church binding part is done. 

Games, speechs, dinner. The clink of glasses to toast the Mr and Mrs. Meeting the guests, all RSVP. And the wedding waltz.

We leave the wedding hall well pleased. A long line of traffic is expected  for a public holiday. Its been an awesome day surely

Monday WRites 272

Saturday 14th here in T&T was a holiday. Divali The Festival of Lights observed by the Hindu community. Divali is well embraced into our society so that non Hindus as well participate in the celebration by way of greetings, and in simple ways such as cusine, clothing and going out to see the lights. On the street where i live, this has been a large as life neighbourhood event in pre Covid years embracing persons from other parts of the country and as well foreigners to the event. This year 2020, sadly because of The Covid 19 protocols there was no visible signs of the Festival, street lighting, or visits to our street.

Quadrille #116: Poem Those Possibles

POSSIBILITIES
POSSIBILITIES
The possibility of making a poem possible
Strikes me as not impossible
Largely susceptible to whims and wordiness 
Additionally likely to colour and moodiness
A muse stir into such accord will possibly
Allude to tantrum tongue twisters  audibly
Possible peacocks pruned to pretty plummage?

Of Houses, Walls and Whistling Winds
Prompted to include the line in a bit of prose  
"there is nothing behind the wall
except a space where the wind whistles" 
from “Drawings By Children” by Lisel Mueller

WIND SPEAK
What a September this was, with winds speaking in angry tongues. 
I listened but could not comprehend  this wind-speak. Not only was there the language but also the angry action of ripping off bits of my roof and rearranging to it angry wind order.
You might think there is nothing behind the wall
except a space where the wind whistles ah but not so there is the bougainvillea shrub with its white blossoms coddled by bold radiant bracts.
We all need a bit of comfort from the storms of life, yes indeed.  There is the bougainvillea shrub behind the wall

SPRING IS FICKLE
The colour of bird song is silver
Like morning light clambering over
Huge monuments of lukewarm cloud
In a sky museum unseemingly loud
Yet all the raindrops mauve down
From this ethereal exhibition to drown
Sorrows of earthly disappointment
A greening  mountain  appointment 
Then flowers with butterfly friezes
Send nasal wonderings to sneezes
Should Springtime arrive on time

BABY GIRL

Earlier, I kept watching the poui pink and pretty

Blossoms giving life to skeleton branches wise and witty

So much so I smiled without knowing the reason why

And cradled my baby still in my belly in a way so shy

My first time becoming a mother

How would I know i was carrying a daughter

A child I think who knew me from long ago

Then came November, our first meeting, love aglow


Cradled there in my arms

Suckling so sweetly exuding her charms

She, with her hearty appetite

That was a November love at first sight.

In need of a happiness project - quadrille


A SONG OF RAINDROPS
Sing a song of raindrops, falling on flower petals, some refusing to leave, cause happiness is not a roll off task.
If you got hold of it and can't drink it, still, hold it, and keep it like precious pearls, for as long as.
