Poems

Sonnet CDIV

 

Alderman’s red floating Tie causing friction

Cold Chain of late Lord Mayor under Moss

Vigorously in agreement Aurora Borealis loss

Large dark eyes white silk Scarf addiction

Hither known Flying Dutchman lying affliction

Labor saving apparatuses for the boss

Mutual hobgoblin poor man monster’s gloss

Venetian Mass May Poles chiefly benediction

Moe regal Lodge with my pal’s opal direr

Elbow length Ivory Gloves Ball Dress adventure

Tortoise shell quizzing dun sink hirer

Getting glasses from inside her huge Opossum Muff venture

Grill of the waste pine held up by bailing wire

Sleety day objectionable person always indenture

 

 

 

 

 

Sonnet CDIII

 

Five Gunnies bet on a King and an Ace

Bells toll slowly she exhales on the nest Acre

Coen earnestly dachshund baker

I once was in the employ playing Base

How it is she is bearing her Knee Brace

Bottle of Sherry before the heart-breaker

Burial docket number pray for the maker

Cat and mouse in the great cheese chase

Dear Devil Salmon leap in the actual

Icky lackey mickey sticky farmer Actor

Fate worst breast bone serine slip contractual

Gazelles leaping cedar groves factor

Rose draws apart shame of factual

Workman’s corduroy overalls under the tractor

 

 

 

 

 

Sonnet CDII

 

Play solitaire until dawn missing an Ace

Sunburst appears in the northwest Acre

Interplanetary transmitter’s baker

She is wearing frog green socks fishing for Bass

Toilet tank of life refilling hereditary brace

Alabaster light horse a heart-breaker

Cannon-shot strikes down ice-cream maker

Dawn of a Christian dog caught the chase

Powerful enemies or lovers actual

Penny dinner on stage with frog actor

Readymade sealed envelopes not contractual

Mercy on your soul Black Skull-cap factor

Rich rolling utterance scout caps factual

Sinister knobbed ridding knuckle-buster tractor

 

 

 

 

 

Sonnet CDI

 

Puffing and blowing peacefully absurd

Raga muffins meadow of murmuring to accept

Phenomenologist tar barrels and bone-fire crept

Lamppost telegraph pole window sills sitting Blackbird

Sunburst appears in the northwest a classic Bluebird

Keep back the crowd as she slept

Hey-pots rainspouts whistling well silent kept

Drum band head in the distance from Ladybird

Trailing banners and waving palms archery

Primate train bands honorary baker

Plutocratic order of precedence cork flakey

Honor of the world’s greatest faker

The cloth of the estate chapter of the shaky

Tears appear in the final dress of the dressmaker

 

 

 

 

 

Downsizing

 

Coolest thing about you

Downsizing can mean challenges

An event New York

The way you like it

It’s an exciting time

After three years at home

The way you like it

Don’t forget Elephant appreciation day

Pick the right Rosemary stalk

You never outgrow your smile

Any supplement plan

Tune in turn on

Are you Okay?

Extended risk free

 

 

 

 

 

Sonnet CDXXXXII

 

Man reappeared elsewhere glimmer of the Baroness

Lapse of four minutes to meet the Brunette

Semi-transparent semi-circular glass Corvette

Woman reappeared without her cat to play Chess

Entering softly lighted candle’s eeriness

Running down a turning staircase with a burning Marionette

Five songs in dark crevice with Ronda’s Quartet

Drew two spoon seats spinning chairs dizziness

Obey signs on the floor to follow master Yoga

Crate a Payne knelt on one knee nodal

Crosland sticks twenty one shillings a ton at Saratoga

Carbon and hydrogen of the modal

Similar apparition free union Toga

Kneeling on one of two to yodel

 

 

 

 

 

Sonnet D

 

Mucking up old sloppy eyes went blank

Storm tossed hearts of man on tap

Her dressing gown is missing the cap

Star of the sea curly-headed crank

Cherry ripe red lips slightly altercation in the bank

Left Skiing in Switzerland to take a nap

Emblems frozen in stereo-scope sap

Scented urine’s faintly yank

Running across the sweep of the sand is the task

Message of salivation in taxes

Molten pewter cask

Pale silent turtle-hide Whale’s waxes

Breeches of paradise of pretenders mask

Hand maid of the moon laying in a sack

 

 

 

 

 

Sonnet CDIL

 

Red Stone White Clay Brick

Beckoning whispered by the wind’s album

Lonely silence day for a bum

Blinding Zig Zag of lightning tick

Deep velvet Azure fragrance in her click

Vague loneliness when she is planting a Mum

Star thrown shadows of night’s total sum

She’s playing bass with a broken Pick

Meadows of murmuring Henchmen’s flint

Vast caverns deep canyons climb

Limp as a wet rag for a hint

Penny Diamonds for a Dime

Pine fringed plateau of mint

Incrustations of time

 

 

 

 

 

Sonnet CDLXXXXVII

 

Shattered glass toss

Her nightfall hand touch

Hobbling with the shadows of Dutch

England to France she swims across

Looking back Motley Ocean’s gloss

Hypostasis tickled her brain in as much

Medieval ads roes as such

Toppling masonry covered in moss

Lace fringed of her toast

Stranger ads rites scorch

Faintly sent of urine yet to boast

Misty English morning Tea on the porch

Spiritual conditional of her ghost

Weak wasting hand holding the torch
