FEATHERED CHOREOGRAPHY
There they stood
She in her white lace and he
In his suit of endless eyes
Both had their beauty tamed
Tucked away as they pecked
At bowls of feed
We glanced at them
Waiting for arrogant displays
But we got none of that
They were hungry so it seemed
Or maybe in a peckish mood
So we lost interest in them
But further along the path
Under a big shady tree
Another male he alone
Would fill our request for awe
This peacock fanned out
His endless eyed feathered display
And we stood rivited and watched him

SHE MEANT TO KEEP IT
A single red rose, he had not even the good sense to have it dethorned before delivery. This was his apology?
She had it sliced away leaving a scar deep within her heart. That was a scar she earned for her foolish trust. She meant to keep it.

To read is to travel through pages
Discover wonderlands and winter worlds
Leaving a sunny Caribbean in stages
Tip toe or walk through place or time
Wend and wade you travel through pages
Long long ago or far far into the future
Choose your pace breaking all cages
The universe gets smaller fitted to eye span
You can sing though the storm rages
A cup of tea will soothes your aches
And wonderings as you travel through pages

Rainy season; there is the thunder. the lightning. the flooding. The overcast clouds eventually give way to brighter skies.
Some mornings a red sky will morph into grey into mild blue. Activity never ceasing always wonderous. Who can control the weather.
rainbow fading -
awesome enough to make me
stand still and watch

“All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain” - Roy Batty, Blade Runner
What the rain does
It washes sky
Lashes leaves at the nodes
Leaving like tears drops on blades
What the rain does
Is empty of clouds
Groaning in thunder
Sparking in lightning
What the rain does
Is tug at the heartstrings
Knowing that the flood
Of tears will not heal only soothe
But life continues
To the auger of the rains
Even if it be forty day or nights
When a sprig in a beak hails
A new form
Then all the moments
Will be lost in time,
Like tears in rain

AND
ALL EXCEPT SHE
Ready for the spelling bee
Her wings stuck tight
Her eyes bright
Her mind clear
Oh Dear
Where can her words be
Her team mates not nervous
They need be verbous
The contest starts now
All except...
Oh where
Oh where
Can she be
