WINDING
To the mouse with four tiny feet
The stairway is its eternity.
Not to be encumbered of numbers
Nor to be absorbed of time

The stairway; is an existence
Not of direction
Nor of inclination
The stairway is just that

Elegant and winding to human feet
Treading through the history of an era

Or the challenge of an ancient
Dulled by mutation of anatomy

The stairway remains the cliche
With its creaks and winding ways.

GLUM PYJAMAS SHED
Like today, some mornings i awake, wearing my glum as if designer pyjamas, one should revel in with class. Ah but my heart cries out for solace. For is not joy, now my inheritance? I turn my heart in prayer to the One True God, who has given His Son in ransom for my life of grace and mercy.
Leaving the curtains drawn, in early morning dimness, with its timpani of raindrops, I light a candle, pick up my rosary and head out to sit in the gallery. The feel of the beads against my skin is enlivening, lifting my spirits as i chant my meditation, nonchalant about sky.
Oh but a magical, majestic pull lifts my eyes.

a rainbow arcs
its set pattern of colour
before my eyes

I continue in my rosary meditation, now with eyes peeled skyward, multitasking concentration.

the rainbow wanes
from right to left vanishing
to azure sky

My day is now set to the rhythm of poetry, to the majesty of nature's bounty, glum pyjamas prayerfully shed. I choose the garment of gratitude to revel with in joyfulness instead.

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.

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

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