Fantasy.  Take a second look.  This is literally one angle on the only fiance I've ever had.  No joke.  Mebbe see the sonnet titled "why did you hafta die?" next? (sonnet # DCCCXXV) We skidded round the corner and the p'lice Were in our face.  "Oh boy, we're out of space Babe--just be brave, we're gonna win.  Disgrace Will keep them on our case 'til we decrease Those ********  'Til they skulk and beg for peace. Now hang on tight"--(shifts in reverse)--"and brace Yourself"--(tires squealing loudly)--"we'll retrace-- It might be hard--hold on--don't drop your piece!" We ducked our heads, careening blythely through A blockade, sending cars flying everywhere. Out on the open road 'gain finally, too Alert to miss a beat--"Get ready!  Ere You see them--fire!  This is our rendezvous--" We won at six.  He's now their head.  Take care. 05May12 D185c

6AM...the Wilder Version.
Yes, I teasingly told him "I might even write you a sonnet," never yet informing him I'd already been doing so since the day we met. (sonnet #MMMMMMCCCCXIII) O Thou whose eyes perplex me from th'all hail When you cut into conversation, whence "Hi!"--and--"I'm Joe." did more than simply hence Just intro you, but left me in betrayl In arms oer what that look you gave'd avail, Yes, who when I was sassy cut that sense Short with again, a look I'd puzzle thence, Today--what?! kiss my hand likeas tis bail?! Call me, "my lady," with a flowr plucked fer Th'occasion yes, in tow.  I fell for't too. Or rather, sweetly thanked you like in poor 'Scuse that was perfect.  O what did I do?! If any saw they'd know we were what? your Late project?  Shall I be yours now, think you? 15Jun17a

See, I Told You I Might Write YOU a Sonnet
....mebbe cuz I have no lover. [Wait, Dad oddly did too.] (sonnet #MMMMMMCCCCXC) Soft mists down in the valley ere dawn thence But twinkle oer these massy treetops, pale White's fragile ghost waits thinly like a veil Which masks the greener figures waiting hence, Whileas we shovel on our ways, that sense Of romance waltzing off ere I avail Me of more than sheer notice on that scale, And ah, who listens for those songs? or whence? How maple boughs wait sans aught whisper too, Leaves shifting or half murmring as it were. You're not allowed to say the flowrs look poor, Cuz daffodils yet nod where planted to Be sunshine through July. I'm losing fer All that what was it? what few joys I knew? 11Jul17a

Why'd I Remember Today Mum Died on a Tuesday?
Dream on, Baby. Waking up won't be fun, but whatever. (sonnet #MMMMMMCCCCLXI) Those bubbles on my tea, as kisses' pale Touch augur that according to the sense Of ist tradition? and both cuppas thence Wear crowns of...what Joe gives me--in betrayl? I'd rather his dear lips than froth's detail, And we're off to a start, for all intents. Ist funny now I"m his these bubbles fence Dawn's waking note as breakfast 'non avail? Or how we've jumped from playful to as twere The thing itself, 'til Dad knows what we do, To say "you think you've got a boyfriend fer All that, eh?" Ya, which part is odd. He'd woo. It's been well-nigh two months since Joe would stir My sheer complaisance. And I'd love him too. 29Jun17c

Of Old Wives' Fables and the Thing Itself
(Well, I was sitting in the car that time.) (sonnet #MMMMMMCCCCLIX) Orange Tiger Lilies in a cluster, frail Yet nodding to soft whispers' vagrant sense Wink as we slowly gain on whither hence, Some tractor's clearing space for which detail? Along the field thet prairie grasses hail From, and when Joe has time, he calls me thence A "doll," to net "I love you" fr'intents, To say he'll try to call this weekend: bail. It's so--yes, what? For now he'd notice fer Whatever what I'm wearing--"is it new?" No, what I'd worn the day he 'gan to stir My heart with that petunia's purple. To That lo, he must go pick another. Were Fun ah, passe, I'm loving all he'd do. 29Jun17a
