This poem is composed by: a Nonet, a Kyrielle Sonnet, a Free verse part, a Terzanelle and another Free verse part: In a juerga there’s nothing around But voices, flamenco guitars , Dancing bodies in moonlight, Vibrant gypsy dresses, Passion, obsessions, Bullfighter’s blades, Silk shawls, Dancers, Capes. Old men have faces scorched and cracked, Flamenco women to attract, Like barks of olive trees in night. Shirts dazzle white in the moonlight. Girls have boot heels and huge roses, Men clench their teeth , step opposes, Hands clap and shout in a dance fight, Shirts dazzle white in the moonlight. Guitars are beaten at high speeds, Castanets scratch the music’s seeds, Rhythmic fingers snap air to bite, Shirts dazzle white in the moonlight. Old men have faces scorched and cracked, Shirts dazzle white in the moonlight. Hands becoming wings In their shadows on the wall, Red becoming black and Black becoming white, Motion vibrating the guitar's string, Cubic movements of colors, In their dance , Shadowy wings becoming scarfs, Flamenco woman arching her body, Showing her passion… From the soul to dissolve The dancing sounds detach From the soul to dissolve When the movement they catch, They may change all around, The dancing sounds detach. Drums and tambourines’ sound, Exotic wrists and swirls, They may change all around. The weightless grace makes girls Steal treasures from the air, Exotic wrists and swirls. With beautiful black hair, Rise like birds , fall like leaves. Steal treasures from the air, Having tricks up their sleeves, From the soul to dissolve, Rise like birds ,fall like leaves From the soul to dissolve. Spicy slippery steps Waiting for a clue, Picking up portions of pink Of hyper-femininity , Overflowing screwy sounds In heavy red chromesthesia, Morphing themselves into glamorous , Red feminine movements, Men looking like marble statues being alive, Seemingly cracking. Slowly diminishing their dancing rhythm, Steps sickling sweet sounds To hear the horn of some lost happiness.

Freeze (Terzanelle)
the neighbor has just started to mow cutting grass is his favorite pastime he manicures the lawn nice and low the sound of the mower's droning chime seems to be sweet music to his ears cutting grass is his favorite pastime his lawns kept tidy over many years the grass not allowed to get too long seems to be sweet music to his ears he's oft heard singing a barber's song as he trims the lawn with his old Rover the grass never allowed to get too long he takes pride in his patch of clover the blades of grass never look mussed as he trims the lawn with his old Rover about his yard he's meticulous and fussed the blades of grass never look mussed the neighbor has just started to mow he manicures the lawn nice and low

Mowing (Terzanelle Poem)
on the adrenalin of popularity they thrive it pumps within their veins so inflated if there were none they'd not survive an accolade won't make them feel deflated they've got to receive all the bolstering it pumps within their veins so inflated always gathering plaudits for a holstering which brings unto them that air of rise they've got to receive all the bolstering the supporter base not going into demise devotees keeping the pulse throbbing swell which brings unto them that air of rise to be the premier acts in a long spell falling out of favour they'll not easily tolerate devotees keeping the pulse throbbing swell much adulation ever liking to slate falling out of favour they'll not easily tolerate on the adrenalin of popularity they thrive if there were none they'd not survive

Mowing (Terzanelle Poem)
We celebrate him on a December day Two thousand years ago he came to Earth In a straw filled manger he lay Mary and Joseph were elated at his birth The son of God part of a trinity Two thousand years ago he came to Earth We recall the scene of the nativity Singing carols in churches and in public halls The son of God part of a trinity School children are now painting pictures on walls Bringing the story of his birth to life in colorful hues Sing carols in churches and in public halls Christmas day is but a few days away for me and you A day of reflective thought and prayer Bringing the story of his birth to life in colorful hues Over Bethlehem shone a bright star its brilliance rare A day of reflective thought and prayer We celebrate him on a December day In a straw filled manger he lay

Baby Jesus (Terzanelle Poem)
vibrant colors effervescent arrays energetically on show for the eye's window gardens ebullient with vivacious displays front and backyards brilliantly aglow hues of a rainbow a springtime glory energetically on show for the eye's window a paint box of shades telling the story streets and avenues resplendent of decoration hues of a rainbow a springtime story our towns and villages so bright in elation they bring a gaiety after winter's drear streets and avenues resplendent of decoration it does gladden the heart when they appear the floral tones of cerise purple and orange bloom they bring a gaiety after winter's drear spring displacing the cold season's gloom the floral tones of cerise purple and orange bloom vibrant colors effervescent arrays gardens ebullient with vivacious displays

wet weather events are becoming rare few of them venture to our location we seemingly get not a goodly share there is little or no precipitation copious clouds don't form in rain bands few of them venture to our location so depleted of dampness these lands yet acreages in England are sopping copious clouds don't form in rain bands we'd like lots of drops to be dropping there's none to bring a beaming smile yet acreages in England are sopping the downpour provider walks not our mile we look to the skies for some irrigation there's none to bring a beaming smile the soil's profile is lacking of saturation we look to the skies for some irrigation wet weather events are becoming rare we seemingly get not a goodly share
