Means...looking
Means....hearing
Means....smelling
Means...touch

All of these things and a few more as well.
Can paint a great picture in story to tell.

The deatails are the fine brush and the
Story the big brush.

The canvas is your imagination
The paint is your mixture of senses and
Style.

Before you write just sit back for awhile.
Envision the journey and the srory comes out
From your mind to your pen to paper and then.

Poetry is is a picture.
That you share with your friends.
Written and read for my daughter's 4th grade class.

A butterfly spoke to me. First I felt the flutter.
Her wings gently,cool.
A sweet awakening whisp.
A dream gliding past.
No.a voice
Truely.

" I read your poem"
Seasons went by before
Realization. A pleasing.
Melody.
"I read your poem"


Surprized to be surprized as the
Sun rose and fell,cotton candy clouds raced by as
I turned. I swear forever almost ended.
Before.

Eye to eye now.
Smiling eyes,a bit shy?


But lovely.

The volume rises as lips emit.
Still caught like the cat burgler
Stepping from the twin windows.

Not able to hear. Eyes.

"Which one?" I summon.
"Both"
Summer.
Winter.

Spring. Oh.

I take her in. A reflex.

Obvious.but nature will out.
Sweet
Soulfull.
A good spirit.
Thank you.

Three words

Spoken with

a Cockney chop.

Riddle me the title.

Agassou will stalk and have his way
What was will be no more.                Life exists and goes it's way
Ainsi soit-il.                                        Ainsi sot-l.

Azaca withers and falls away.            Boucane drift skyward and take away
What was will be no more.                Ainsi soit-il
Ainsi soit-il .
This is a construct of a voodoo chant meaning life is for the living
And finite. (Amen)

A bit of the potion.
A drop of the brew.
Mickey Finn to me my friend
A lullaby to you.

The stone from the County Blarney
unlocks persuasives charms
If you kiss it in a certain way
The charm imparts to you.

Still today
Danang. Saigon.Tet.
Mi Lai. ** Chi min trail.
All and more on reverb
The unwinable in black body bags.
Dam.

Just like Cronkite's musdtache goimg on and on
Drafted into the  wood chipper
The buzz saw. for what.
Then the embassy buggie.
Choppers listing into the sea.

Half baked. Blood on ground.
For what.

Visit Vietnam. A travelers paradise. Half price
now with great accomodations.
Cambodia too.for the price of one.
Kamir Red.
How many dead?
For what.

Double edged sword is a pania machette
In Belizean lingo.

Conquistadors blade. Slicing on the
Downstroke. Slashing on the up.
Forked tongue.simile

Can't turn the other cheek.
Nor close the gap.

Quisling?,
Smiling mouth
Eyes of death.

Ben Arnold wasn't a bad guy just
Bad information.
Pania machette in hand, flicking blood of the end.

Reaching out with the free hand
Smiling sweet treachery.
****** and rip.
