P-Pacifying storms with a soothing balm
E-Ever subduing the tempest's hod of harm
A-Allaying our minds of the raging alarm
C-Ceasing thunderous sounds with a palm
E-Earth dwellers seek a road to tranquil calm

D-Directing is what this guy is exceptional at
E-Ever the master poet of the acrostic format
N-Not many can do it like this super cool cat
I-Inspiring others is what he's so very good at
S-Sighting his terrific work flips one's top hat

B-Brightly his star shines in the vast night sky
A-Always making this day dreamer want to try  
R-Really got to work hard at his precise format
T-Time must be spent to be like a super cool cat
E-Elated one shall feel if this poem is of appeal
R-Reckon it may get the master's approval seal

the heart
cannot repair
the heart
in much despair
the heart
missing these pair
the heart
feels the unfair

exiled from the venue
our writing brothers
their words expelled
by unseen smothers

swift the extradition
of a movement quick
the removal done
with a rapidness of click

no more seeing the
works they did ably create
our kinsmen vanishing
off the forum's slate

the heart languishing
without our kindred
being around
the heart so dispirited
their expression fell
silent of sound

SUMMER

stinking hot weather
no respite from the scorcher
toasting everything

AUTUMN/FALL

the Maple branches
dressed in copper tones
during those March days

WINTER

bitter cold winds blow
o'er the mountain landscape
cruelly they do bite

SPRING

lambkins by the score
born in spring a time of year
where new life begins

This weekend the NRL final will be played
South Sydney and Canterbury Banks-town
Shall do battle on the hallowed footy ground
The match up will be a ripper for sure
There is little love lost between these teams
A sell out crowd is primed and ready to cheer
The fans in the stands will be rooting hard
As those twenty six men give it their all on the field
Up for grabs is the coveted victor's trophy
There is a lot of anticipation building
Across the state of New South Wales
We can't wait for the final to get here
The big day of league holds us intrigued

yesterday's afternoon tea party was a hit
there were some rather tasty tid bits
cream cakes chocolate slice and ginger biscuits
they were well received in my stomach's pit

my tea was served in a large crockery mug
in which a little sugar cube did sit so snug
I sipped on it slowly with a grin rather smug
twas such a delight partaking of an Earl Gray slug

afternoon tea parties are my cup of tea
and I so enjoy their wonderful spree
I'm planning another one with much glee
for my cousin Fay and her friend Mrs Bentley

On an evening of bleak winter chill
A lone knight rode to Bartonleigh Hill

Stationed there was his maiden cute
Plucking the strings of an out of tune lute

As she plucked the rats did cry
Never had they heard such a rumpus lullaby

Upon her door a knocker knocked
It was the lone knight minus his left sock

Oh! she said your foot looks blue
Come warm it in the embers shoe

He did as she requested him to do
Whereupon a marriage proposal ensued

said the lawyer to his client...

you'll be locked away
for all the misdeeds
you've done
ripping off your business partner
has bough you undone

said the client to his lawyer...

you've mounted the best defense
that you could
now it is time for me
to be incarcerated at Dartwood

said the lawyer to his client...

there is no chance of an appeal
a ten year sentence is your deal
this is what you get
for being such a heel

said the client to his lawyer...

have you no criminal stains
upon your wig and gown
I've been told that you're
one of the shiftiest lawyer in town

said the lawyer to his client...

the judiciary hasn't caught
me out yet
but in the future
it may find something on me
that's a good odds on bet

said the client to his lawyer...

none of us are above the law
and one day you'll be locked
behind a set of cast iron doors

said the lawyer to his client...

yes! I must admit
that over the past twenty years
I've been involved
in some shady ****

said the client to his lawyer...

we've both chosen a path
of shame
and a judge's gavel
shall always bring an end
to all illicit games

running through the countryside
rivers in full flow
rolling over rocks
rushing down the valley low
reaching the flat delta
ranging and tracing in tributaries
re-birthing as transpiration in the blue seas

love is so transient
                              this I know to be true
all the men I've ever loved
                                           have deserted my camp
to seek out blooms anew
                                        a stone barrier protects
my heart these days
                                 for I am cognizant
of a man's whimsical ways

her bitter vetch
                          is unyielding
                                                she is a spiteful girl
   
upon the landscape                                                                             ­
she spews her gall
its acrid coldness
felt on these tablelands
a reception of welcome
she'll never gain or garner
for her freezing disposition
is so cruel and biting hard
she is unrelenting in venting
her spleen of freeze
                                                                ­                                 the countryside
                                                     ­                         bears witness
                                                  to her gelid duress
                              the season of winter
is a severe mistress


                                                              ­                    oh spring's warmer climes
                                                                ­                  the hours of sunlit glee
                                                                ­                  shall lift the spirits
                                                                ­                  so mirthfully

you hold he key
to open my heart's gate
you hold the key
so wonderful of state

darling no other but
you can enter this place
for it is reserved
as your loving space

on turning the lock
an adoring did ensue
there my deepest feelings
were lasting in hue

you hold the key
to open my heart's gate
you hold the key
so wonderful of state

a nectar dream
we'll ever possess
the stream so divine
flowing through my egress

the treasure vault
yours and mine
a devotional niche
paved with sunshine

you hold the key
to open my heart's gate
you hold the key
so wonderful of state

opals
found underground
their colors well cloaked
until the miners dig them out
when they are exposed to the daylight
they reveal a number of hues
which so dazzle the eye
magnificent
opals

barking dogs did so
disturb our neighborhood
they just kept on barking
which wasn't very good

because they could bark
they barked as much as they could
they cared not that they were
disturbing our quiet neighborhood

give a thought to the nurses
they're on duty twenty four seven
they tend and care for the sick
all over the world

young men drinking
                                   young men not thinking
                                                        ­                    
this is the scene
outside the pubs on a weekend night
they pick fights with anyone
it doesn't matter who
the dutch courage is well imbued

                                                               a king-hit
                                                                ­               a cowardly
                                                                ­                                  strike
an innocent bystander
lies in the gutter
with a split open head
the pavement
stained with smatterings
of blood

                                                young men drinking
                                                                ­                    young men not thinking

of the bystander's
damaged brain

WINTER

as the heavy snow fell
the chimneys in the village
belched with dark smoke

SPRING

on that day in May
the rustic cottage garden
arrayed in blooms

SUMMER

stinging rays of sun
lashed idle sunbathers
along the shoreline

AUTUMN/FALL

copper medallions
hung from the maple branches
in Alberta's streets

Ollie had an attraction to Molly
he though she was a cute dolly
Ollie said to his sweet Molly
you really send me off my trolley

in the ambrosia of love, we'll ever combine
our melding shall sing, of an adoring boon

our endearing hearts, beating as one forever
streams of elation, speaking of this love boon

e'er embracing tightly, neath the stellar plains
that sparkling spangle, such a heavenly boon

ever we'll journey, the beloved road of sharing
honey syrup binding us, with a sublime boon

the cup of lasting love, brimming in rapture
twill be so superb, our lush evergreen boon

when I was a teenager I played basketball
my long range shots made good strikes
each one did of the spectators greatly enthrall

opposition teams would say the word yikes
after I'd place a three pointer in the hoop
my long range shots made good strikes

the coach loved having me in the troop
effective at getting an extra point for the tally
after I'd place a three pointer in the hoop

my other team members would always rally
they'd be spurred on to play a tip top game
effective at getting an extra point for the tally

our basketball team made others look lame
we gave it our all on the court to be victorious
they'd be spurred on to play a tip top game

every ******* our home team played glorious
we gave it all on the court to be victorious
when I was teenager I played basketball
each one did of the spectators greatly enthrall

this morning I found my computer had been hacker attacked
is there a way that a hacker can be tracked
my friendly computer repairer is going to have a look for me
to see what the attacker has stolen from me

golden leaf streamers
cascaded o'er the aspen's
tall majestic stem
