Monday WRites141

IN GLORIOUS SUNSHINE
For sake of fun
Out came Sun
Shining in splendor
Young smiles render
Treasured aplomb to pomp
Happy feet stomp
To pertinent music brand
Signature of our Land
Always the mothers add
Last minute glad
And the fathers too
Fix intricate headpiece or two

BREAKFAST
They are: Hat and Scarf
Putting heads together,
For a small view, of a larger world

Very much like, Ham and Eggs
Scrambled into a tasty mush;
The shells had to be broken first

Breakfast, is really a metaphor
That has brought them together
As sweet repast after the fast

A STRANGER ASKING
Walk along the Main Road,
The doubles vendors are crowded in
By eager feasters;
Some having breakfast,
Some having a bite after all night hangovers.

The seller umbrellas spread like roofs
Over cozy little huts,
Where there is family to be fed;
The measure of hot sauce to be added:
Slight pepper, or heavy.

Doubles vendors are male, female, or,
Whole families plying their fast tasty wares;
Some queues are long and winding,
Some, arcs upon arcs of circles,
Jostling for this street delight.

But what of the young man,
Carrying a backpack,
At ten in the morning, in the Season of Carnival,
Standing, right there in the Doubles vendor's spot;
Asking.

Where could he buy doubles;
Clearly, a stranger to the culture of buyers;
They come out early in the morning,
Buy, eat-up the doubles,
Then the vendors pack up, and leave for the day.

MOST LIKELY THE MOON
In those days when love chilled me
like a winter's dream,
I should have stolen kisses from the moon
Instead of penning blues like harpist or bassist

Then i could have plucked my hoarded booty
like Cherry petals,
Wafting then in a zephyr of diaphanous delight
Rather than sulking in nadir of doubting

When love refuses to bounce a reciprocal
like unbalanced boomerang,
Look to moon her face malleable but firm her core
Given freely naught to drill or steal her sap

NOTES
May tonight's Blue Moon find you with a heart full of love
Super Blue Blood Moon 2018 January
The last Blue Moon occurred in July 2015 and in 2018, we'll experience two of them, a phenomena that won't happen for another 19 years. The second Blue Moon is slated to occur in late March.
A Blue Moon does appear blue in colour.

Monday WRites 140

BRAVE HEARTS
Brave hearts
Stamp frenzy where
Bird whistles string colour
Azure skies cuddle cumulus

RHYTHM
Rhythm
Swirls like sea waves
Hungry to lap seashells
Still holding ocean voices in
Caverns

SEASON CARNIVAL
These Carnival alive days, words prompt: whine,
Waist hip and bum[per]
Stickers, tag pace of revellers to
Word of rhythm. Airwaves
Allure eardrums. Perchance, street stepping
Does not your appeal hold. Of course one
Can always steal away to
Beach resorts from city munitions.

THE VIBE
There is in reflection, sweet solace
Keyboard tapping days past, to legacy

Words trace a hisory of rthymn spent
Costumed in street-parade's thematic scheme

Each pause thinking deeper going further
Way back to Blue Devil Jab Jab Mondays

And clouds smudged in rainbow Tuesdays
Ah but now, that Carnival vibe is over.
