seeing a bee
buzzing around a tree
would make thee
feel rather jolly

for jolly me
a buzzing bee
engenders much
glee

when the blossoms
appear on the spring trees
one shall be elated greatly
hearing the buzzing of the bees

transformation happens, as a matter of course

sandstone cliffs wearing away, seas gouging their visages
sandstone cliffs wearing away, seas gouging their visages
an example of this is seen, on the Great Ocean Road

the appearance of a dial changes, with the passing of time

no formation stays static, the elements of nature ever at work

Hundreds try to cross the hostile border
They seek a better life in Northern lands
Acquiring this dream is of high order
No promise for the future in homelands
They run the gauntlet of patrolling guards
Which disallow entry into America
They want escape from their domestic yards
These people yearn for the soils of Arizona
The journey they'll take is perilous
Some manage a successful traversing
Though the road they've traced is dangerous
Yet they're willing to risk everything
Mexican people are seeking a route out
From land which has no prospective sprout

on a gentle breeze
fluffy dandelion seeds
did saunter around

me thinks a sonnet is very hard to write
putting it on paper doth require skill
one must show the ease of a carefree kite
whence applying each and every ink spill
there's no room for bad mistakes being made
the formatting should carry the right tone
as stated by Will who knew of poetic trade
penning many hundreds in iambic cone
one did dare Shakespeare's enduring trail
on attempting his fourteen line layout
oh yes the challenging road did prevail
depicting a time honoured rhyming rout
with couplet concise one shall fly away
leaving a poem of red roses in May

on soft feet the children
move on the leaves
tumbling up the color

and waste of warmer days
I wish we had
forever to cross this place

dust blue foliage fringing
the rocky edges up from the water
and air
and history

behind you quickly
the black cockatoo
plows the tight air

the Dali Lama
is a man of happy karma  
he laughs quite a lot
much like Mary Jane's ***

a mother duck piloted
her ducklings across the creek
as they were unfamiliar
with its flowing course

on the grass blades
tiny glass dewdrops closely clung
to reflect rainbows

where is the rest of the world at this stage
its help needed in a strife broken land
the destruction there is well out of hand
fighting described on newspaper page  
the United Nations seemingly asleep
Syrian men women and children killed
in fear of much red blood being spilled
a country where eyes do endlessly weep
resolution to these woes can't be found
continuation of conflict is far from good
chemical weapons with callousness
employed by mindless men most unsound
where is our planet's caring brotherhood
we've failed in supporting the helpless

the satirical poet's violin
was remarkably played
by our Beryl's fabulous bow
so gifted its string

thundering trumpets
thundered through the township
tooting thunderously

we've had an assortment of
weather
four seasons converging
together
whence I awoke there
was a coolish
nip
with associated cloud
like winter's
grip
by noon I dressed
in a light
blouse
for the air felt similar
to a summer
rouse
late eve bought
an autumn
feel
south east winds
blew upon my worn
keel
as night approaches
the true spring
lilt
is dancing around
my trunk's
silt

will be interesting to see
what's on tomorrow's
isotherms
as the climes vary in their
statement of
terms

his
desire
welled up
in crescendo
as she displayed
her appealing features  
he so wanted to dandle
with them by the open fire hearth
there they could make some steamy music
as the flames flared up on that night

a friend of mine popped in the other day
to have a chat
we got to talking about the town's past history
and more especially about one of the Church of England vicars
she had a litany of information
relating to his many female conquests
he'd been playing around
quite a lot during his period
as the local rector
one day he was caught inside the church
with his pants down
he was administering
to one of his female parishioners
behind the altar
the fellow who used to do the light maintenance
was most astound at seeing such close contact between
the vicar and a member of his flock
a few days after this occurred
the Bishop of the diocese informed the vicar
that he was going to be sacked
for his indecent conduct within the walls
of a place of God
the female parishioner
was given her marching orders
by her infuriated husband
my friend and I like talking about our town's past history
as there are some events
which are truly worth recalling  
to memory

why don't we all do the primal thing
take off our clothes and reveal everything
not a stitch of clothing did Neanderthal folk ware
they allowed their naked bodies to breath the air

nudist colonies are the last bastion of bare skin
the people at these places never fail to grin
without dresses and pants they are a happy crew
all of them putting their kit out on view

it is a norm for us to take in the sunshine whilst bare
and a law should be passed to permit this fair
we've been overly wrapped in fabric for years
no wonder we've been without any cheer

the straight laced may not be too keen on ******
but may I remind them it is such a liberty
shedding the coats and petticoats wont do any harm
and showing a little of our bodies isn't cause for alarm

our forebears of a by gone era were not glad
they ran around in the buff and never did anything bad
those who wish to be in a state of undress
take off your attire and don't feel any stress

the precious moments
they share online
are so exquisitely divine
tethering together
in cyber space
making a connection
like the linking loops
in a piece of lace
a romantic fusion
of love birds
logging in
to dispense
their devotional words

dry weather causing much despair
distress written on farmer's faces
distraught cattle can hardly walk
dead pastures will mean no income
during the hot summer the mood is low
disaster is assured if rain doesn't fall
dire outcomes affecting the whole community

florid blooms adorning avenues and streets
floral petals unfurling to the sun's rays
fragrances sweet they prettily emanate
flourishes of splendid color so varied of hue
fabulous in a bouquet tied with lace or a ribbon
freshly cut daisies on restaurant tables
filling one's eyes in a most pleasant way
