Mon Rayon de Soleil
That multi prism kitchen chandelier,
Had we not met, I would have never seen,
And I would now be no one's Sonneteer;
Pursuivant to a nuptial beauty queen
Of splendor by likewise endless facet
And all unparalleled surface between
Where heaven itself would not surpass it
With angel dazzle and gold halo sheen
Beyond all manner of spectral treasure
Or heavenly exaltation extreme...
Or any astronomical measure
In the rarest phantasmagoric dream
Daring to depict that sparkle I see
When your rainbow love...scintillates on me!
Had we not met, I would have never seen,

Beyond all manner of spectral treasure
Or heavenly exaltation extreme...
Or any astronomical measure

Snow Moon
There's ice on the moon, astronomers say,
In some multi billion year old shade;
A shadow free from any solar ray
With nary a photon with which to trade
A Terran twilight or cloud filtered glow
To soften the look of a crater's rim
Or reflect the shooting star pit below
By lumens even hauntingly dim.
So therein lay a primordial snow
Unable to cheer Tellurion nights
Or provide some kind of a glacial flow
Where it might freshen Olympic delights!
But such a Snow Moon would be far too bright
And snow blind...
In some multi billion year old shade;

Full Measure
A late moonrise will always harmonize
With eyes lost in midnight admiration
For the mainspring spin in almanac skies
Above the churn of cloud vaporation
No horologist may exactly know
With any tic or clockwork toc precise.
How may we measure each vortical blow
When chaos is the governing device?
We need not measure too precisely once
The moonbeam throws its mesmerizing spell
Where the heart trains the brain into a dunce
Ruled by the gold where the moonbeams fell
And by the wild air through which it gleamed, ...
With eyes lost in midnight admiration
For the mainspring spin in almanac skies
Above the churn of cloud vaporation
No horologist may exactly know
With any tic or clockwork toc precise.
How may we measure each vortical blow
When chaos is the governing device?
We need not measure too precisely once
The moonbeam throws its mesmerizing spell
Where the heart trains the brain into a dunce
Ruled by the gold where the moonbeams fell
And by the wild air through which it gleamed, ...

Boris Badenov
True chivalry is socialist
As all for one and one for all
Renders the internationalist
The antidote for folderol...
Which tells a man he must come first,
Before the hapless maids and brats,
Prescribing him vainglory versed;
The premier ass of all ass hats!
Of value is his ego most,
The Sol in a Solar system,
Rotating just to hear his boast
To toadies who will not resist him...
And bought his friends the biggest boats
With cowardly unanimous votes!
As all for one and one for all
Renders the internationalist
The antidote for folderol...
Which tells a man he must come first,
Before the hapless maids and brats,
Prescribing him vainglory versed;
The premier ass of all ass hats!
Of value is his ego most,
The Sol in a Solar system,
Rotating just to hear his boast
To toadies who will not resist him...
And bought his friends the biggest boats
With cowardly unanimous votes!

Skull and Crossbones
The ages haunt the bookworm brain
With letters in a torrent blast
No concentration might sustain
Into a resurrected past;
No measure of nostalgia dust
To which some water we might add
Like magically reversing rust
For glory once more to be had
Among all sorts of ancient things
That once upon a time were grand
Where now only ruination sings
To cover pride in heaping sand...
Taming ambition's eager dare
Into extinction's stale air.
With letters in a torrent blast
No concentration might sustain
Into a resurrected past;
No measure of nostalgia dust
To which some water we might add
Like magically reversing rust
For glory once more to be had
Among all sorts of ancient things
That once upon a time were grand
Where now only ruination sings
To cover pride in heaping sand...
Taming ambition's eager dare
Into extinction's stale air.

Mariupol
Oh how fiendish is a late winter night
With only detonations in the news
From willy nilly missiles taking flight,
In a fitful rush, or a gentle cruise
Of rocket dragon termination breath
Into a no man's thermobaric land
Of plunder thunderation Megadeath
By every brand at hellacious command;
And masses roll into a common grave
When people in the attacking nation
Cannot say no to a single knave
Of Napoleonic ego inflation...
Before good people everywhere see...
The critical need for democracy!
With only detonations in the news
From willy nilly missiles taking flight,
In a fitful rush, or a gentle cruise
Of rocket dragon termination breath

And masses roll into a common grave
When people in the attacking nation

Anthropology 101
There's no point to the great debate
When the opposition only gives a shit
About cheap gas and a low tax rate
And fury backed by judicial writ...
Which is the damnedest thing I ever saw,
Those policies of the weenie right,
As if to codify hell into law...
To transmute the good life into blight
Where books are banned and diversity spurned
And Christian charity fades away
With all the script of enlightenment burned
By an exponential...right wing decay...
Where liberties die, after they wrecked'em,
In the ass end of the civic...

The MAGA Way
Bro culture married a cult of death
In the team sport ghetto locker room
Where they took their next recreative breath
And forged it into more doom and gloom.
Then they traded some racist vows of hate
To make white Jesus votaries cross
And have his worst Caucasian trait
Endear him to his ancient Wall Street boss...
Who knows HIS bros are the critical race
And not no slickster Hollywood Jew
Assisting folks who try to replace
Crackers and their grotty mouths of chew!
But who doesn't love a trigger happy dude,
With a cooler...
In the team sport ghetto locker room
Where they took their next recreative breath
And forged it into more doom and gloom.

Who knows HIS bros are the critical race
And not no slickster Hollywood Jew

But who doesn't love a trigger happy dude,

Quiescence
That midnight blend of cloud, fog, and sky
Is selective about the stars we see
And campfire smoke underscores why
With embers in starlit harmony
When the smoke with the sky begins to blend
As the flames release their solar rage
In the heat of their last entropic spend
To try and push past that final page;
That page where the universe story...stops,
And mankind has been a long time dead,
After the planet through a black hole drops,
Forever muting whatever crap we said.
Maybe then the silence will be golden...

Sir Topp'im Hat
A brand new topper for the toff
was revealed on Christmas Eve
and though deplorables may scoff
It's all because they preconceive
that anyone who wears a hat
must look as though they drive a truck.
But, of rural fashion format,
a dandy does not give a fuck
since men in redneck uniforms,
and the bigotry that they sell,
are some of the required norms
for old confederates in hell.
No, a top hat is not as cheap
as what crackers and rappers wear
but under it esteem will keep...

Poniard Love!
The lunar orb swings low tonight
To silhouette the clouds and trees
Beyond the camp and fire light
Beneath an oceanic breeze.
An onshore flow is in command,
But as a courtier leads a dance,
For it's the orb who's truly grand
At illuminating romance!
Likewise a lady is in charge
Of every stuffy lovelorn poet
Who would his ego soon enlarge...
Though his codpiece will not show it!
And thusly Cupid Keeps from view
His shish kebab from barbecue!
To silhouette the clouds and trees
Beyond the camp and fire light
Beneath an oceanic breeze.
An onshore flow is in command,
But as a courtier leads a dance,
For it's the orb who's truly grand
At illuminating romance!
Likewise a lady is in charge
Of every stuffy lovelorn poet
Who would his ego soon enlarge...
Though his codpiece will not show it!
And thusly Cupid Keeps from view
His shish kebab from barbecue!

Magically Delicious!
The moon gave me some lucky charm light
Through Saint Patrick's earliest clouds
Making the night a fine Celtic sight
Of zenith vapors in gossamer crowds
Muting the beams on plumtrees in bloom,
Trying their best to mimic the sky,
Like an upbeat white popcorn broom
Sweeping some fresh from the dew on high
And packing it into late summer fruit
Along with the taste of moonbeam gold
Which, of course, is a vernal cahoot
Beginning when winter starts to get old
When the madness march of the shamrock green
Proves chlorophyll...the best...
