[ NaPo 2021 ] [ OPAR ] Tongue Like A Worm
Takes his time entering the parlor;
snakes oily from shadows
Alone, his cold, stone palor
enough to steal one's breath
His venomous words
the spear in your side
Day upon night
night upon day
nowhere to hide
Hisses through
crooked tombstone teeth
only those things you
want to hear
or fear
Haunting is the prospect of death
without valor
Always at your feet
slithering beneath
when not offering council
to the fatherly King...

[ NaPo ] Terminatrix April
thumbs her titanium alloy nose
through the chain link fence
reminding us of our limitations
says we are nothing
but imitations of life
It's an irony that leaves
a metallic aftertaste
in my mouth
while hers is razorwired
---a smile long in between such
clenched jaw sound bites as,
Get with the programming
and
Poets are challenged enough
without attempting to write
a poem per day
meant for...

odessa waits
with wide spread arms
baby boom
wild fauna finds new mates
spring flora pollinates
bursts of rich colours bump and grind
to serenade the wind
every bloom
its own transcendent song
spills forth the whole day long
lilacs and dandelions dance
the unborn takes last chance
in the womb
odessa waits with wide spread arms
to welcome brand new april charms

odessa rules
her vernal equinox
equinox
a time of equal days
when in earth’s vernal phase
diurnal and nocturnal scales
align on april trails
paradox
as new day swallows night
so darkness drinks daylight
the tilt of earth no preference knows
until the east wind blows
parallax
odessa trims her languid sleep
more vigilant our dreams to keep

the rule of love
odessa shares with me
in the cool
of springtime’s april stream
she listens to a dream
that bubbles fresh from silver spray
for love has gone away
not a fool
she waits for his return
tho pale the embers burn
one day, perhaps, when night is dead
she’ll cease to be unwed
for the rule
of love odessa shares with me
will never breed ignominy

odessa pieces brings
of april
april love
before sharp summer heat
sweeps dreamers off their feet
tangled in mango blossom rhyme
piqued oft by lemon lime
way above
where glance soft roving eyes
new romance fills the skies
the hopes and passions that they share
will last the livelong year
every move
odessa makes, she pieces brings
of april in the heart of spring

fruit of the womb,
odessa comes
papayas
sweet mid spring tropic fruit
so mild from pulp to shoot
with peppered seed, gut flora kind
bright orange clad its rind
bananas—
ripe finger berry rows
cavendish, apple, gros
michel, robuster, lakatan
—share dna with man’s
hosanna
fruit of the womb, odessa comes
kiss nectarred by peach, pear, and plums

odessa's dance blooms in the night
april rites
birdiest day dance of spring’s
ornithologian wings
owl, duck, ostrich, finch, cardinal
uniquely ordinal
black on white
bright orange, green, dusk brown
some don red evening gown—
for relevé et grande plié
—whose plumes the wind gives sway-
appetite
odessa‘s dance blooms in the night
when wingéd birds cease fast their flight

odessa sets my world on fire
april nights
gateway to summer eves
sprouting grass moon that cleaves
where supermoons alone can rule
comet atlas at school
what a sight!
bright fireballs that fly
across the eastern sky
as meteor show’rs luminescent
the darkness circumvent
in their plight
odessa sets my world on fire
she is the fruit of my desire

odessa's arms peace lend my brow
sentiments
like looming sentinels
cleave where my heart excels
though april winds might press me down
i settle for no frown
prevalent
the battles that i fight
nor will i yield my rights
my angst to vent, lest deep inside
opposing worlds collide
virulent
odessa’s arms peace lend my brow
she’s my soul sweet jamaican frau

each time i touch odessa’s face
aprilis
the bud burst of fresh blooms
spills forth its sweet perfumes
each time I touch odessa's face
she dares my lips embrace
with her kiss
flute tunes thrill her blest heart
whose strains with joy impart
to every bird on every branch
orchestral elegance
kinesis
nocturns on fresh blown evening breeze
odessa’s soul and mine doth please

odessa’s sweet refrain’ll bloom again
new quatrains
make april blooms at night
scented by candlelight
sweet late eve primrose, datura,
night phlox, brugsmansia
avril rains
that tall tales tell of spring
the Father's grace to bring
still wait i for the last wet train
odessa's sweet refrain'll
bloom again
spring equinox brings pink red blooms
new pregnancies fill heavn’s lithe wombs
