DEAR TOMATO
Yellow or red,
You are ripe, eaten
fried when green,
Tomato dear -
So i love thee oh,
Plump and succulent,
Mushy and decadent.
#'Dear Tomato' is a palindrome poem so now read it backwards

May brings flowers after April's rain. That line i have read and heard many times. But it is not quite applicable to my clime. The truth is in May the shrubs, in the gardens may carry more blooms than they did before. They are always flowering. Then comes the June rains. The true rains of the Rainy Season. Floods in some areas with loss of roof and furniture. I feel certain in such areas residents will question the fates -For how can I be sure I shall see again the world on the first of May

EVEN
even
in May; blooming
ixoras a hedge of
pure delight, radiating in
sunshine.
sunshine
has found new joy,
her colours are varied,
but yellow will always draw hope
inward.
inward,
cherished portions -
such pleasantries banish
the dread, wanting to feast
on fear.
on fear,
put the dumb cap!
of hope, gather feathers
that flight may meander outward,
showing.
showing
how nature glows,
outside the bounds of man,
in her own peculiar way,
even.

QUESTION AT QUANTUM
20210503
Once we thought, we know not
What the future holds;
Now we think of tomorrow,
Will it ever be here to greet us?
Denial no longer befriends sorrow.
The opened eyes of new normal,
Stare like fish in aquarium,
Swimming in perpetuity,
For swim they must.

GRASPING CLARITY
In static fusion,
confusion merged colour and sound,
loud enough to mini
mize clarity, the one thing
I was trying so hard to
hold on to, in this dream.
Dreams are misunderstood
events; so there i was, petrified,
willing myself awake, from the electrostatic.

MUSIC TO SATE
Love can be the healing balm
Then again before the storm calm
Either way the heart dances
Mesmerizing beat enhances
This music feeds the silly ones
Caught in a web fixed in a sconce
Wanting to excess all that passion
Wills to unleash without compassion

I chose Twelth Night - if music be the food of love play on give me excess of it...
Challenge: Write a poem based on the theme of your chosen play
Celebrating Shakespeare who was baptised on this date in 1564,

ROUSING DAYLIGHT
Here in tropical Trinidad, there are natural clocks to rouse the sleepy heads back to an alive realm. Roosters - while the cobalt covering of night cuddles the dawn, dwindling into first light. Then later the whistlers and songsters fill in the news of wake up time. Weather be Rainy or Sunny, they perform their tasks well.
grey morning sky
a choir of birdsongs to
colour new day
