PARson, hear me
I don’t come to sPAR
I come to listen, PARtake
And hear what you imPARt.
I’m not a meek little sPARrow
To look up at your PARapet
Blindly swallowing
And dancing on your PARquet. . . .

Beginning
with something flashy
to grasp one's attention
keeping the interest
throughout.
Stanzas, maybe one or two.
A rhyme here and there,

Starched tarot-readers
Tardy avatars
Startled tarantulas
who tarry at the altar
Stark tarts
Starry-eyed starlets . . .

Hath overpowered my father’s sneer
Now allowed to court my hand
Each days’ flower is more grand
On Monday a bellflower he did send
A cupflower next . . .

Through the night haze
heat grips my neck
my hands,
with folds of the sticky sheet.
Dreams come in color;
perhaps an insight.
The bricked castle that calls me
is seconded,

I am my fathers’ daughter
I can be alone just fine.
I am my mothers’ daughter
Her tears and laughter are mine.
I am my grandma’s joy

Remember
one winter
my Irish Setter led me
to a quiet creek I would never have known
was there.
In the Spring I visited
with blossoms and boughs
of green; happy lacy branches
that stream . . .

And dishonestly crooned
An onerous poisoner
With crossbones festooned
You pardoned your prisoner briefly
And teased and postponed
But you’re a seasoned practitioner; . . .

Putting me in jeopardy
A parade of parties and faces
Happy parents, bouncing babies
I’ll wrap this away
Because I’m paranoid you see
I’m unprepared for the . . .

With young cap rice

Love Promises that you made
Fell short when they were weighed
In one direction then a next;
Your forked tongue left me vexed.

Feathery kisses of snow
on my cheeks and hair
coming down so very soft
can I stay outside; do I dare?
Fireplace beckoning with fiery heat
warming me through to my toes . . .

My friend Elsie, she wrote a nice poem
About her album, a very large tome
This album of her heart I could be jealous of
Because it tells so much of her, and so much love
My own heart album I’ll gladly . . .
