...for love. (sonnet #MMMMMDXXXIX) He jested that he'd write a book whose tale Was "I forgot to cry" as twas mine thence For his love drying the endless tears' vain sense Oer losing Mum, my best friend, and prevail As bashert where I've never known to hail Aught soulmate; loved me more than life, to fence The twinkling hours with him in sheer defense, And aye, eclipsed my grief oer her, t'avail. Thus where Death called his lease, or ours as twere, His last speech mine, he prayed another'd do That for his Baby.  Yet aught else is poor. I weep sans comfort, maddened while I rue Whatever sin brought our demise, or fer What took his life.  Cuz I'll e'er love him too. 22Mar16b He said in closing [giving his full name]that he is mine affectionately forever in love for eternity.

I Swear I'm NEVER Good Enough
birches and tastsy jerky wood.  resin in the immediate shubbary.... and dust and cobwwebs growing adjacent to the jerky wood.  Myraid of birds, ranging from small birch-types to crows.  A lingering dominant hawk.  A giant possum crossing between borders carrying unborn infants.  Dusty walls with abandonded spiderwebs- insect carcassases dangling, still.  Pool motors revving in every direction lets of a subtle hum that compliments the planes descending and ascending oer-head the water is grainy yet cool and healing.  the sprinklers function at midnight and sometimes on the weekend.  Maintinance trucks, expensive commuter vehicals, modest vehicls, unmanned vehicles, arrowhead trucks, macdonalds trucks, safeway trucks.... the earth is still wheaty and chalky adjacent the jerky trees, the jerky trees have little hairs and appetizing off red color, the bark saddles off with grace and with a satisfying tare.

LANDSCAPE JULY 18th, 2018- SANTA CLARA COUNTY
One tiny water droplet dances, On a river of rushing air. She races 'oer  cumulus cliffs. She tumbles down the nimbus stair, And as she whirls mid the frozen flow, Her body begins to turn to snow. Relinquishing her liquid status, Spreading forth her crystaline lattice, She leaps from the cloud tops of her birth, Forsakes the sky and drifts to earth. Now me...                ...I come... Grumping down the stony street, Back turned to the sky, eyes glued to my feet, And lurking in my furrowed head, Myriad troubles, worry and dread. No time to look round, no time to see, No time for laughter, no time to be. Suddenly, a glint, flashing, captivates my eye, Causing me to look upon a small speck drifting by. One perfect snowflake, like a musical note, Piroettes, hovers and lands upon my coat. At once, the black veil distorting my sight, Dissolves to reveal the truth and the light. I look up, breathless, for now I can see, The whole world is dancing and smiling at me, And my cares, so tremendous a moment before, Now seem quite tiny and sort of a bore. I must thank this lovely creature who has perched upon my sleeve, But all I found was a water droplet, slipped down into the weave. And on that winter afternoon as I stood beneath a tree, A small voice whispered on the wind and sighed...                                                                                ..."Remember me." Later on, the moment past, now back my daily trials, And I, caught up in deadlines met, far from thoughts of smiles, Reached for a pen to make a list of certain things to get, Looked down my arm at the sleeve of my coat,                        ...and saw it was still wet.

Once upon a time we had the hymnal propped by the kitchen sink so's I could learn; years later Mum would sing along with me, and now...I like never but once in a blue moon dare to sing aloud, for missing her to tears. (sonnet #MMMMMMCCXLVII) What's happened to--me?  Rainy hours detail Thet eye with silver's touch while green lawns fence The minutes fog obscures by vague suspense With softest carpets rolled out to avail, And I'm not erm, my own in sheer betrayl; Erst naked trees lost to mists' whitish sense Of yonder, I could shiver, and do hence, Cuz in a blink I'm his upon that scale. One comment like my wont five days ere, poor As what?  now he distracts aught hours 'til through Suggestion I am giggling, sober, tour His deepest sorrows, and maunt say he'd woo?! Of course, I'm better searching violets, fer All that.  Let purple wink low, saying we knew. 05Apr17b

So I Sang Loudly Oer the Dinner Dishes
Being fatigued has its benefits: I don't give a hoot. (sonnet #MMMMMMCCCCLXXXVI) Talk to the silence as a train growls thence Through wooded stretches, 'neath the bridge detail, Sans more than rumbling deeply on that scale, And think of how wee cricket voices fence These ghastly plains with fiddling oer suspense, Nor listen cuz--those days are gone and fail, At least my solace in their joys does, pale Expanses washed in moonlight not mine hence. Or not the maple's knobby roots as twere, Its canopy of shadow lace I knew Last year, that freedom of the lake in tour Gone, I remember, as tinnitus to Effect half waltzes with the clock's demure Tread, ticking, whilst...what is't that no man woo? 09Jul17b

Write...Til the Moon Ascends Too High
(sonnet #MMMMMCDXXXII) How rain's nigh ghastly light haunts vague suspense Ere darkness yield to after. In the pale Note follwing, whiter morsels chase th'exhale Which moves atwixt these firs as if pretense Could not decide oer snowbanks' worn intents And newer puddles thinking of betrayl, This fragile romance in surreal tones' bail Lost in the flurry of just whither hence. I want to ask you what you're doing fer All we have overnight made me and you Erm, us and we. And scared but driving, you're Not one bit daunted either. What'd we do? I've heard of whirlwind stories. Aren't such poor? You'd kiss my tear-washed face, and say we knew? 03Feb16

Everyone Swears I Need More Sleep
See my spiral for how she rendered it (sonnet #MMMMMMCCXXXVI) Ya. Lean upon the porch rail as night's dense Black--does it twinkle with ah, stars? nor hail The mirk none pass through, just my brother. Pale As Au Revoir where all else sleep from hence, Lo, how--what ist? Hark! For the train calls thence, Its whistle breaking this cold silence' tale, And think now, of how I'll lose all ist? frail Against the metal lacework, sans defense. Turn back indoors to clean the mess we'd stir In babysitting. Wooden tracks a crew Of Brio traincars clattered oer in tour Half like what deeply rumbles past, aye to A fault, my brother saying "a real train--" Were I numb too long oer Mum? Or swear I knew? 01Apr17b

I Feel Like My Niece Wanting Her Bottle
...and I'll give you half an ear.   [L9:  Robert.  And sent a pic when returned.  And yes, I loved him, shame to say.] (sonnet #MMMMMCMXCI) Where gloaming filters out in greyish thence And fading halflight, children's voices trail Some barking canine as no birds detail Calm whispers whose soft breath tugs at me hence Likeas to stay my footfalls with that sense Tis now, and here.  Ne stars yet in blue's veil Except the evening star alone oer pale Dead houses, and how sunset burns low.  Whence? Indeed.  He's gone to Burning Man as twere Or some take off that, romance forfeit too, Else I'll wish for a date with each in poor Excuse, how's that?  The problem is...that you Are not here.  What are cool winds' murmurs?  You're Who gives dusk romance.  Tell me that you knew. 23Oct16c

You Can Lecture Me...Later, How's That?
Yes, I am prolly the only fan of old, cold, coffee.  Over antique sonnets, too. (sonnet #MMMMMMMCLXXX) Soft blue heavn's arid eye ne clouds 'non fence Though ah, how ghostly shadows haunt and trail Across the rippling fields of grass detail Below! look sweetly as in years gone--sense Of all we'd known within their cast, til hence The soul yields to is't childhood's carefree scale As twere of hope? vain dreams' perspective hale If we'd but 'llow ourselves to breathe, fr'intents. And Maples' shaggy boughs nod; leaves astir To aerie whispers, as the voice of who? Some distant motorcyclist passing through Upon these emptyer country roads in tour, Lends 'scuse for placid calm, where Sunday fer All that's excuse, the hol'day 'pon us too. 27May18b

Read Shakespeare, Oer OLD Coffee Too...
(sonnet #MMMMMCCCLXVIII) Lo, poor man's tea in dawn's first light, whose pale Eye shifts vague shadows 'cross dead houses thence, Ere twinkling with an orange splash' warming sense Upon that silence, and no coffee's bail In morning's fog as rosy lee's detail. Snow's bitter whiteness waits sans aught suspense While sparrows gaily answer for two pence, And I wash up the dishes on that scale. We fix a mean cup of ole joe as twere, Yet where the Brits swear by tea's mincing cue I oddly know what tis to waken, poor As such assertions oer the second brew. Discuss caffeine, and I sleep well nor stir 'Til ah, forget it.  What I need is you. 05Jan16d

We Argue Tea Like's Going Outta Style
Layered. Say you didn't know these were complex. (sonnet #MMMMMMCCXXXVII) Blue skies peer thinly twixt the whiter tale Of clouds whose stringy webs mask what, from hence? The warming golden light half bleak, a sense I maunt put down stalks through all that'd avail. Ne shadows nor a flirting breath t'exhale By even halves and I am jumpy, whence What daffodils might nod can own intents While folk tell April Fools jokes like we've bail. Did I complain oer...jonquils' yellow tour Of frilly heads and purple hy'cinth too? Yes. I said even ******* laundry's...poor, Sith Mum is buried. Taen from me now, who Shall pity? Sparrows e'en too distant fer Aught smiles, I wonder if a man'd now woo. 01Apr17c

And "Flesh and Blood Can NOT Inherit--"
My Journey With The Lord My journey with the Lord I'm completely satisfied, For he's always with me daily; walks side by side. The Lord is my leader my guide and my friend, He'll travel my journey with me until the very end. I'll go wherever he leads, For he'll supply my needs. I have become so so excited My journey he's enlightened With him leading I'll stay on the right track, No wasted years and I'm not turning back! My journey with Jesus; Gods only Son, Will soon be Oer' ; The victory will be won! My journey with The Lord is more that words can convey, My calling and gift of poetry he's given to me in life's way! At the end of life when I'm dying No more writing poetry; No more rhyming.

My Journey With The Lord
...like, "if you must remain nobly a ****** unto death in lieu of marrying divorced or ungodly men, buck up and be thankful." or something like that.   (sonnet #MMMMMMCMVI) If butterflies were dancing gaily hence Across these wastes, likeas in sheer betrayl Pink 'non embroidered ones do whilst flutes scale Soft notes and trip too merr'ly for intents Now through the minutes I work pinning thence An ancient zipper to this skirt, we'd hail Sweet joy no, aye?  But thin white clouds 'gain veil Blue skies til shadows' ghosts fade, and's pretense. Did I complain too much ere, that as twere I'm punished with ne best friend?  No man'd woo Affections then, but he was toying in poor Excuse with me, or was divorced.  None do Ha, ha now either, flutes in lieu what stir Fond visions as I bend oer sewing's cue. 25Jan18b

They Counsel Me: Accept Your Fate
'Twas March of 1958 A babe arrived, a heavyweight As babies go he was first-rate Really worth the nine months wait A child so fair, so good, so bonnie Our fourth born child, we named him Ronnie Oer the years we watched him grow A loving child, we loved him so So strong, so sweet, unlike any other A loving son, a loyal brother he's grown from such a special lad to a quite extraordinary dad. It's been apparent from the start he has an extra roomy heart Full of giving, always sharing towards others he is more than caring So raise your glasses and give some cheers to celebrate his forty years.

Michar Oer'len ( Undefiled reward of God)
...the Word of God. (sonnet #MMMMMCMLXXII) Oh yes.  I wimper still oer Mum.  Care thence In silence as ne words assuage nor bail My soul, except the LORD's in sheer betrayl. Orange kisses treetops, yellow nestles hence In sidewalk cracks and dips, vines paint a sense Of scarlet through the copse no phlox detail Now, and lo, I submit a sonnet they'll Not choose, remembring Mum last year--and whence? I swear, the Word of God my home as twere, Replies as through a parched land we ensue. Grey hours rain drips oer, deep blue heavns we were So fond of seeing twixt yellow Maples--do Not have my ticket anymore.  In poor Scuse I watch Pride and Prejdice.  Where are you? 16Oct16b

White feathers on dark water.
Ya, weeds. (sonnet #MMMMMMCMLXXXI) Now April dogs our sunny minutes, pale Blue skies with nary cloud to mar that sense As orange 'non splashes buildings in defense Of rosy sunset just where dinner's bail, The biscuits cut ere that eye cease t'avail, And curtains drawn while steamy soup fr'intents Give us cause to reflect, black night what'd fence Dessert as we talk oer the future's tale. I roll the first words 'cross my tongue as't stir 'Fore butter gives flour cause to be anew Sheer dough, that haunting sense light rouses fer Auld memries of lost days what winks unto My soul, though's but March first.  Is it sae poor To feel it in our bones likeas twould woo? 01Mar18e

And now, .... (sonnet #MMMMMMMDCCX) As if twere not enough that for intents This valentines Dad gave me Starbucks' scale Of romance: cherry mocha to avail Where I'd not dreamed of aught, how blue skies fence These minutes I warm soup with pink for sense Light golden with an eye late April's hale Last hours know as I set the table, frail Sweet gloaming when we should dine, like what hence? I don't konw. Caught in memries as it were, Three years ere was it? Febry's cold as due, And Valentines Day only halfway through, Yet I feel in my bones that May'd bestir, Ere violets have a chance to shift in tour Mats of dead leaves, for what is't that'd um, woo? 14Feb19b

Shall I Quip "My Cup--" Tears Spill Oer
Hi. waves with a happy smile (sonnet #MMMMMMCCLXVII) "Your Jenny." And these blank skies thinly pale, The baby leaves 'non shiver to winds' sense Of sheer caprice, their soft chartreuse lit thence As if translucent while birds wing oer, hail With voices my heart knows from June's detail, Like summer's breath flirts 'cross green lawns more dense And ruffled carpets, daffodils bright hence In deepest yellows smiling to avail. Oh, Andrew! Song of Songs talks of what fer Effect seems mine, though we're but friends--yet ooh! That's how she knows him, yes. Warmth's waltzing tour With singing lightly on the air and dew What twinkles in morn's eye is ours as twere, Whiles I want violets as I wait for you. 14Apr17b

Wonder which of my favourite kites I am? (sonnet #MMMMMMCCLV) Read antique sonnets, yet don't hear them, frail As voicing David Grey oer coffee thence Is, lost to western beaches' surf from hence And which I almost listen to in pale Excuse, while Illinois' blue skies detail These moors and wasted prairies winds pass whence I canna say oer, whispers in a sense Where Or'gon's ist? tore up auld trees to scale. Our houses wink to golden light as twere, Whiles Andrew's feel the hurr'cane damage to Effect. Suppose I don't know what I stir In asking, he swears I shan't know 'til through What ist? the ache's root we unearth in tour: All. And I love each minute lost to you. 09Apr17a

I'm Only Scared of Trying to Fly--
sigh a day later, when Saturday's mad pile of work was a memory, it literally tasted like water.  Now, how did that happen?   (sonnet #MMMMDCXLIV) Mists waft with curious fragrance' odd detail Upon the creamy surface of those scents' Brown claim of coffee in my mug, to fence Thin hope with old chagrin as morning's pale Light watches from its cloudy vantage' scale Of truth, where ghostly layers shift oer pretense And grey asks white to call it blue from thence, My breakfast:  ***** dishes 'hind th'exhale. It's nat'nal cereal day, so in a poor Excuse I added Malt-O-Meal to do The favours with our wonted pancakes, fer A whopping stack of edibles.  Yes, two Eggs, bacon, and a touch of fruit.  If you're Still hungry, there's no coffee.  I love you. 07Mar15a

Why I seem to be fair prey for men my father's age and his friends to boot, I cannot guess. But how do you be friendly while hating their interest intensely? He said, "I saw that look!" and I'm not really sorry he did, either. (sonnet #MMMMMCMLXX) Thin blue skies peer twixt greyish clouds a sense Of bitter air wafts from, as if the pale Eye of uncertain warmth's half golden scale Of light is fragile and must tiptoe thence In fear across these rasping fields 'til hence Called off, whileas how leaves just whisper, frail Breaths passing through oer naked boughs' detail, The maples green yet as orange paints suspense. He pops his head in at my bedroom door in tour, And I assure him that, "Oh, I know you--" While classcal music plays, rehearse in poor 'Scuse memries, 'til oer one say that we do Not hafta lie: "I'm not availble fer Whomever--" and he bows...is that adieu? 15Oct16

Of Older Men and Warm Fall Hours
(sonnet #MMMMMMMCCXLIII) So, if I wait until the morrow, pale As aught excuse, we might continue thence This theme: I meant to scribble--for intents. Espresso. With sweet conversation, bail For many years, passe, lost in betrayl Since April was't? This morning likeas hence We'd never ceased, I sip with Dad, a sense Of sweeter hours in tow as if t'avail. And Wordsworth oer last bits of coffee, to Effect where Sunday afternoon in tour Could don a sense of happier years we knew When Mum was still with us. O tis a poor Suggestion. I cooked lunch with mishaps fer Reminders of the LORD's great mercies: new. 24Jun18
