LASH BACK
see him, scourged so lowly
see him, crowned with thorns
see his cross, now holy

see me, under The Blood
see me, in my life of mercy
see me, praising joyfully

dare you look, can you see?

blinding are shafts;
of despair and defeat

early blooms daub in pink

an azure sky is witness
to this a lovely scene

forecast to Easter
to brightness
and new beginnings

SILLY GIGGLES
We giggled in theater halls, small stifly giggles;
giggled in church pews, sweet santified giggles;
giggled in scourching sun with sand between our toes;
beach towels large and spread , beneath sea grape trees
giggle still do we, now that we've grown old.

HAPPY CARNIVAL MONDAY T&T

HIGH FIVE
Pale blue skies, clearing into morning. Green trees and masqueraders wearing the colour: jouvert-morning-fun. Its Monday of Carnival 2017. I talk to a jouvert masquerader, happily, covered in mud and paint. Why am i not in the band? Why am i standing at the corner? Been there done that. She gives me a high five and continues dancing away to catch up with the rest of the band.

KIND AND TRUE
If Snow White's stepmother was kind and true
Who would she be talking to?

a. An oval mirror in the white room
b. A new wildflower today's bloom
c. Exoplanets circling a new bright star
d. Dwarfs and Leprechauns near and far

Out of Standard: Multiple Choice
Today Isadora has challenged us to write: a poem in the form of a multiple choice test.  The whole poem could be a test, or you could insert a multiple choice some where into the normal structure of a poem.

GOLD DUST
The crowd on Jerningham Avenue is anything but somber. You dust my bare belly with the golden dust of fun and frolic. An anointing, a passage into Tuesday play-mas. A day so much like today, with a sun, golden and scorching. Wind and dust, married in hot torrents of mesmerizing mantras. Yet my only chant, to the touch of your fingers caressing, is husband.

a throng of hips
answer to every beat -
Carnival vibe

ETERNITY SPANS A BOND
Incredibly so, i will, love you forever
Fear not, of earnest span of time
There are days, still in the mind of ever;
And sorrows, i will turn to ash on fire,
My promise bequeath, i will, love you forever;
Who dresses lilies so cleverly in fields?
Surely, such talent, such finesse can never
Diminish or pale, in the scale of eternity,
Your burdens i can carry them, however
Weighty they may be, come to me in times
Of trouble and of joy, i will, love you forever.
