IXORAS NEAR THE WALL

Morning prayer,

A withered indigo sky

Backdrops my breath.

To spruce up my vision,

I exclaim "a deer?"

Mists shadow imagination.

Disowning fetish

Of juniper berries,

Ixoras acclaimed

Near the wall.

Bright yellow, even before

Midmorning sunshine.

QUADRILLE - WINGED

Turning the corner,

Into the dusty lift of

Pigeons winging up,

Pink feet tucked under,

Loud flapping sounds,

What a nusiance

To people with bare faces!

Now that masks

Are casual wear. 

Do they care?

Those pigeons do

As they may.

They are pigeons.

THAT MOON 

Shining through, the lonely lady of night

Like a cyclops, sees

Every indecent proposal

Posted to a disgusted face.

Under the cherry moon, one bright

Spring night, she tossed a rose

To the heap awaiting garbage disposal.

You see it was a case

Of unrequited love; how wrong so right,

There the meaningless token,

Awakening no arousal

Of appreciation for a vase,

Was cast away out of her sight.

Cocktail breathed a sigh of relief,

The color of night was lethal,

An assault of sensitivities at base.

Fifty shades of grey just might

Be, the perfect hue of that moon global.

Stars never it seems stay still. All their twinkling are for nursery rhymes and astronauts

She liked the months of October and November. The brilliant reds oranges and yellows and then the decaying browns

All of this was to her a statement of skeletons; the caw of blackbirds and the future of red cardinals against snow

Colour held its theater of life and death by the throat and its choreography of light and darkness in  nimble piroettes

LOVE LOST

The rain that sat upon a leaf

Stayed there till morning came

When daylight sat in sky so high

I heard them sing a song of love 

Tis not for sorrow nor for grief

The shoeless man was lame

He lost his money in a gamble

And kept one side of her glove

Calypso singers in their lief

Sing words of unfair game

Tis said he had shed the tear

For she was his lovey dove

Ne'er to look back in disbelief

He knew he was fool all the same

A SCARE FOR THE CROWS

Aren't you scared 

Afraid maybe

But scared i'm not

Whose afraid of 

Unworthy crows

Dont be a scaredy cat

Well then lets face this 

Scarecrow come alive

Scaremonger 

Scaring is the pasttime

Of

The unafraid 

Lets scare the living daylights

Out of those crows.

HAIR PRETTY  

Wanting to get a good shampoo

Make her hair real pretty

So bid

She did

Make her hair real pretty

Seated there wrote she a ditty

To calm her nerves moreso

So glad

She had

To calm her nerves moreso

The trip back to her bunglow

In traffic jam with fret

Stopping

Starting

In traffic jam with fret

Without bandana her regret

Wild to wanton it grew

Chutney

Cut me

Wild to wanton it grew
