FLIGHT INTO AZURE
A babe at the feet of Majesty,
Looks up to the sky seeing,
Only layers of chameleon clouds.
Now a giraffe, now a poodle,
An angel, a dragon, waves.
Sharp ears pick up the sound,
Of a jetplane going somewhere,
Overhead in a strait line, between
air and azure.
Who am i, just a flight into azure,
So easily awed.

Monday WRites 157

A MOUSE IS A MOUSE
There once was a mouse who scurried
Back and forth in and out he hurried
Till his tail in a spin
Caught in a sinister trap there sullied
Nevermore to be worn in style he worried

Monday WRites 156

these are hot hot days
before the rains tumble in

they are back again

having their fill
of caterpillar delights
from the Plumeria

STORY OF HUNGARY CATERPILLARS
in my backyard

the feeding frenzy again
day and night

striped caterpillars
chomping through
the Plumerias

❧✿❧

tubular bellies filling

of leaves green
and flowers white

and after a while
there's none in sight
leaves, flowers, caterpillars

he hears "hello,
how are you today?"

boy-turtle-Karan;

stretches his neck out,
and rolls his eyes,
which means: "good to see you Granma"

Two Pals Wait

Monday WRites 155

SCORCHING HOT
By midday the sun’s scorching might
Penetrates the hapless
Tiniest worth of life in sight
Sustaining nonetheless

A desire for the shaded
Those hydrated places
Where of a thirst you can be rid
Noon time treasured spaces

Under the shaded umbrella
Of the side walk seller
The ices are from that fella
Just right for the weather

Mini skirts and strapless dresses
And bared and sandaled legs
Test of sunny paradoxes
Present day traits which begs

Of whimsy and discerning ease
A daring compromise
Hot colorist browning the leaves
Till they fall in demise

To a comforting ready earth
Willing to nourish life
Under a discerning sun’s worth
Of torrid heated strife

Hot hot hot penetrating rays
Slice season and cycle
The shadow and fraction of days
Measured in mere degrees

PANTHER BLACK
A rightful king, son, brother, lover.
All of this is Tchalla.
He must fight for what is rightfully his.
Seems a shame.
He fights. and falls asleep.
Only love can bring his back.
One who loves is he. So love
In turn heals.
Tchalla rules!!! Tchalla reigns!!!
Love returns to Wakanda.
