HAOKU on the Paris attacks

Ronald Jones Nov 2015
a pleasant anticipation they give to your chafing taste buds
for that taste once sampled is forever craved

their shapes beckon visually to
keen designer minds

and their ancient blessings go back to 2000 B.C.
much later, their nutrients American Indians praised

they give veggie hugs to those most in need
of a psychological boost or a tooth's soft sink

when you sit down to dinner and before you gleams their pale green
a smile might open your mouth for the tasty taste of a ....  ....

Sprightly songs I hum to keep me sane
These lonely afternoons as I
Loll in broken shoes, ripped pants
Once bespoke by Cardin
O much changed am I!
But my sad smiles
Artists love,
Nymphets
Kiss

APHRODITE'S SONG OF FREEDOM
Ronald Jones Oct 2015
One time I dreamed Aphrodite rose from the sea...
All naked and glistening was she...
"Why all the clothes?" she asked of me. "This earth and sea are made for the free."
So I shed my shirt and trunks and into the waters blue I sunk...
Then felt an arm embrace my waist as she led me o'er the dunes in haste...
Toward an island of leafy trees and greenery where naked men and women frolicked through the scenery...
A land without cries of war...
Just a lovely waterfall's roar...
Quickly she took both my hands and we danced to nature's gentle band...
The merry breezes whistled and birds were brightly singing...
Yes, one time I dreamed Aphrodite rose from the sea and showed me in naked splendor how to be free!
for a waltz in gentle sway

MARS IS A WOMAN
Ronald Jones Sep 2015
And pretty
**** too.
Those soft
folds
those fancy
rocks
bejeweling her--
Who painted
this desert peace,
this smile
of a ******

hiding her
moisture within?
On seeing first photos of Mars  from NASA'S Spirit Rover 2004; this month, September 2015 we learned that Mars has water.

DANCER AFRIQUE

Her black body in motion
Chromatic vistas giving artistic delights
Hands with palms glowing soft moonlight
Feet with soles glowing same soft light
Black body in motion
Beautifully twirling
And so forthright!

CRAZY ALICE
Ronald Jones Sep 2015
She loves to shake her humongus caboose
while she chews with one side of her face
on a plump *** of tobacco...

and spits the juice
at any kindly folk who
dare walk up to this wacko.
Ronald Jones Sep 2015
Some women serve up their ******* in coyness
under blouse, purposely delineated.
Others serve them up in boldness
rolling them out and hoisted to
their lips or ours for pleasure.
Still others serve them on the half-shell--
a teasing delicacy, but are they FAKE OR NATURAL?
Alas! Sometimes it's a ****** tough job to tell!

Is much maligned for his own terrible ruse

BILL COSBY POEM
Ronald Jones Jul 2015
Quaalude Bill I'm called
'cause to many hot ladies
I slipped a pill or two
then each lady
I shamelessly balled

I loved every one of them
in my own way
but deeply regret how
I went off the track
with my mad zest
for ***** crack

Oh, they did flash  me a bit
egged me on
but that's no excuse
for my despicable ruse

I don't ask the ladies' forgiveness
What's done is done
I rub my tired eyes and try to calm
my uncalm  heart, ask
might we not walk a little again
under the ancient blessings of the healing sun?

DANCING SHOES
Ronald Jones Jul 2015
when they have become
all but non-existent
flaky leather fastly flaking
into ungraspable dust

one day you might
notice on a path or
piece of land how an
errant playful wind
is whirling some dust
round and round
now imagine a jovial tune
hands clapping in accompaniment
as your feet cut a step to
the whirling whirling whirling
of the lonely dust dancing

O dancing dust!
O dancing shoes
In whirling dust incarnate!

TREMOLO
Ronald Jones Jun 2015
Professor Borden ("wacky") said
he hit a note he never heard before
and was having trouble blending in the
surrounding sounds...
"It's weird," he said.

"Like 'Blake's Apocalypse' ?", I ventured,
showing him the title of a paperback
I just happened to be holding in my hand.

He gave a cornered guffaw, then quickly turned tail
back to teaching his songwriting class.
70-years-old and hurt like a boy by a girl.
But I wasn't being wholly sarcastic.

Just trying to be a little helpful, I think,
dangling there in the cobweb of our mutual failures.

the butler
brought in
the tray of libations
and it seemed
her ******* were
thinking me as
I thanked him
and wondered if
I must choose
between his
unfamiliar hug
            or
her gaudy ****
so I moseyed
over to a
corner and
tried to
explicate the
dinner gong
tolling across
the mansion's
badlands like
strident
smacks
ringing
out of a
*******'s dungeon--
I could almost
hear the ****
Piper getting
paid or asking
to be--
Well, I guess,
after all,
she was holding
my tray,
wasn't he?
Satirizing a great poet and bon vivant.

Short Measure
Ronald Jones Jun 2015
The gentle Indian man disliked flyswatters
He would let an imprisoned fly find an outside exit
Helping it escape on his mantra which
seemed almost holy,  "Dear Fly , Fly!"
Ronald Jones Jun 2015
Sometimes a disturbance
feeling like a runaway chariot
rumbles round and round
and down and down
and up and up
through the deep valleys of his belly...
causing him to expel
a  half-digested sugary pastry
and a couple garlicky olives...

while failure soon attends  
the muffling of explosive
rearward cries ...
often in distinguished company

Miss Hope loves to stand on her head
Even though it flushes her face so red
A dog lover who couldn't be merrier
She lives only for her toy terrier
And on her head greets this tiny purebred
Ronald Jones Jun 2015
The rim of the earth glows crimson in the
gathering dusk as
an unseasonably warm breeze churns the air
Soon all the earth's places will be in
dark ruling covenant
Like us, my dear love,
our blood aflame,
our lips and hands extinguishing each bright spot
of burning desire
