STORM

We had a storm this afternoon

Bellowing thunder, lighting too.

It galloped in, blocked out the sun,

Threw things around, refilled the pool.

Played with the power,

Shushed Tay mid song,

Mucked up the WIFI,

Domotics too.

Watered the garden,

Grounded the birds,

Scared my poor bunny,

He ran to hide.

Tomorrow’s better

Or so they say,

I’d like some sunshine for my friend,

Who’s only here ‘til Saturday!

 

GARDENER

There’s a young dude who does my grass

With quite big ears and a cute ass

He has some friends who come and help,

They’re very efficient, work really well.

They’re fun to watch working away,

Out in my garden everyday.

They pull the weeds, turn them to mulch

And then eject them from their bums!

It’s quite ingenious, don’t you think?

I just sit watching with my drink.

I’m most impressed by these young dudes,

They do great work, keep me amused.

 

MIDNIGHT SKY

 

The Catalunya midnight sky

Flaunts a black dévoré velvet cloak,

Trimmed with notes of nightingale.

 

La Balca Frog Symphony accompanies.

CHANTILLY SHIVERS

Catalunya afternoon sky

Models strapless celestial poplin shift,

Embellished with Chantilly shivers.

 

Chimes caressed by northwesterly wind.

 

WEATHER FORECAST

Indecisive, the sky today wears

Faded baby-blue gossamer

Layered with variegated-grey silk charmeuse,

Accessorized with a bunny clutch.

Umbrellas recommended

 

YLANG-YLANGLAND

Twinkle me to Ylang-Ylangland,

Away from this celestial aqua-spectacular.

Treat me to mojito sunsets

Twirled in sarong-wrapped glamour,

While dolphins yabba-daba-doo.

 

Are we astral planning yet?

 

BADASS

BADASS

 

Did you practice your giggle to get it just right?

Not too daft, not too posh,

Beguiling yet polite.

Gorgeous hair, such big curls!

Natural, not uptight.

 

You’re convincing and charming, you know just what to say.

With that crisp elocution you lean into your prey,

Add a dash of flirtation, pass the pen with a smile,

Men never know quite what hit them,

And the deal’s always signed.

 

Your green eyes are like radars; you have everything sussed.

You’re funny, delightful, generous, always kind,

You get what you want, you have street-smarts and class.

I’ve always admired you,

You’re my friend, the badass!

 

COO

He believes I am a magpie to his sparkle,

Distracted by his seductive chatter.

He sees me as a pigeon,

Yet I am master of the coo.

 

Who rules the roost?

 

SIZZLE

You cannot contain the flames

Beneath my glacier-blue gaze.

Prepare to sizzle.

 

My mascara never runs.

 

CUSTODIAN

Her heart’s custodian

Emerged with delicious punctuality,

Through dreams as vivid as the faded album cover

Guarding scratched love songs,

Played on repeat.

Oh, how she loved knowing

Their hearts skipped the same beat!
