  • 20060703-Air Wish

    There on a bridge stood three cousins,
    of Laguna Bay, Philippines
    on summer ninety-six with kin
    and happy grins, and happy grins.

    I brushed my long locks one fine day
    to toss my hair into the bay.
    I held out my hand as I pray
    to clean the way, to clean the way.

    My hair suddenly disappeared
    and suspected something quite weird.
    There was no slight breeze as I feared
    in the revered, in the revered.

    One night my new inspiration
    met a stopped online frustration
    and this showed more confirmation
    in creation, in creation.

  • 20060702-Back Scratchers

    Back Scratcher
    My photo of my wooden backscratcher, which was given to me by ‘Paw’ as a gift originally by one of his friends.

    Whenever my back starts to itch,
    the dryness prompts my skin to twitch.
    When finger nails don’t work, I mused
    a wooden back scratcher is used.

    Cross shaped colors of pink and red
    are etched on my back while in bed.
    Where creamy lotion does not soothe
    a wooden back scratcher is used.

    An itchy back means sprouting wings
    whenever His helping hand brings.
    How each other’s back is not smooth
    a wooden back scratcher is used.

    Whenever my back starts to itch,
    a wooden back scratcher is used.

    First attempt at kyrielle sonnet…

  • 20060702-Tax ‘n Tea

    Tax Time:

    Deadline tax excuses.
    Word of tax confuses.

    Money is grand illusion.
    Greedy is vile delusion.

    Old standard taxation.
    Gold standard salvation.

    Testing who cares, grand schemes.
    Earthly shares, baseless dreams.

    Tea Time:
    Drink tea and enjoy food.
    Work free and employ good.

    Take time off to enjoy tea.
    Let’s go golf to feel free.

    A pinkie tucked under
    and sip tea; no blunder.

    Sweet delight: delicious.
    Snacking light: nutritious.

  • 20060702-Oh Yeller!

    Hexameter:
    As blatant coverings
    developed everywhere,
    futile gases hovered.
    Impossible justice –
    kindhearted lost mankind.
    Need of preventing quack
    recurring sighted trails.
    Unfurling veins within
    x-tra Yahweh zooming.

    Pentameter:
    A blue cloudless day
    encourages faith.
    Godly hearts implore
    justice, kindness, love.
    May noone offer
    polluting question.
    Request strengthened truth.
    Unleash voices with
    x-tra Yahweh zeal.

  • 20060702-Middle Ground

    I float on rippled tides above.
    I sink to endless depths below.
    My hopes sail to a distant shore.
    My fears drown to a stormy lore.

    I toss a coin of heads and win.
    I toss a coin of tails and lose.
    I am secured from outside threat.
    I drown within from piles of debt.

    A success is to spring forward.
    A failure is to fall backward.
    Go in blessed evolution.
    Back to godlike retribution.

  • 20060702-Sweet Life

    Life is so cool
    by the pool where
    the rule is love.

    A quiet life
    has no strife and
    is rife with love.

    A life of Light
    shines as bright as
    a white jewel.

    Life is so sweet
    when we meet here
    to greet with love.

  • 20060702-Midnight Snack

    Frozen thoughts in eggshell head
    warmed by heater to my right.
    Ice cold drink from an ice box
    stilled the sleepy mind.

    Half closed eyes in blessed state
    brought stillness and quietness.
    Bright red apples aroused
    nectar of old days.

    Inner egos in prayerful state
    washed over from energy.
    Golden apples awakened
    nectar of small world.

    White igloos against snow white
    encased roundness at midnight.
    An apple said to an ice:
    I’m alive! Alive!

    First attempt at dodoitsu (with four progressive examples)…

  • 20060701-Parakeets Poem

    Parakeets are smaller
    parrots with smaller hearts:
    Playful in everyway,
    persistently talking,
    perfectly at home and
    providing hours of
    pleasant fun with people.

    First attempt at Pleiades poem…

  • 20060701-Flynn Face

    Oh blessed frown, turned upside down!
    Forceps clamped on my nerves at birth.
    Big head a cause, my strong wide jaws.
    Rosy cheeks and its winter mirth.

    Round, full face of Asian’ race.
    Dark brown eyes wide open and round.
    Sweet, sad smile of a lonely isle.
    Head full of black hair all around.

    Tongue sticking out, born of the South.
    Destined with curiosity.
    Blessing bestowed, a lonely road.
    Unite with generosity.

    First attempt at triquatrain…

  • 20060701-Forever Loved

    Forever Loved in human form;
    Diligent purpose to perform.
    Existing outside time and space;
    Evolving of the human race;
    Conscious but live under the norm;

    Think with the power to transform;
    Death to those who do not conform;
    Peace to those who put love in place;
    Forever Loved!

    Take time to live, learn and inform;
    Show the whole world how to reform;
    Holding to loving hands of grace;
    Keeping true love in an embrace;
    Feel love burn eternally warm;
    Forever Loved!

  • 20060701-Sweet Dreams

    Poetry is hard and fun.
    How are my poems?
    Are they good?

    Cake is very sweet to eat.
    Where is my toothbrush?
    Is it lost?

    Water hydrates the body.
    Why am I thirsty?
    Did I drink?

    Working too hard is not good.
    Am I tired yet?
    Have I slept?

    A good memory serves well.
    What did I forget?
    Did I come?

    First attempt at quinzaine (with five suggestive examples)…
