movies are us?

on a movie roll
two nights in a row
gone to the cinema
to see serious
and forgettable
but
impressions
in both tricked
memories
is that not why
we go?
even the gory stuff
will set off
a remembrance
of something terrible
- a nightmare -
and the feel good
sensations are
daydreams -
alas
only few in the US
film world
are feministic
or bi-gendered.
going to the
theatre and see a film
is soon a relic past-time
so we will destroy
the joy of going out
and just stay in?

Illustrated history

A child's history of names
Was illustrated in
The classic script of frames

All Viking battles -slain
Kings and valiant knights
Of Yesteryear's fame

Stand out in an old brain
My world's concept
Is gone up in flames

Due to lack of queens - dames
I never saw the other side's
Point  I truly regret and blame

That history is  quite insane
Only to remember as a kid
The victors - what a shame.

Cancer et plus

Beaucoup des gens
cette annee
que je connais
ou connaissait
sont morts
de l'epidemie
(il me semble)
de cancer -

Seulement deux
sont morts d'une
crise cardiaque
le reste - de
ce symptome cache
mais tous
ont eu des choses
cachee ou ....

Drole d'affection
sans de me rendre
tout a fait folle
et moi je serai
la victime prochaine.
Je garderai en moi
la vivacite -
et la musique de la vie.

Technicolor life... Not

Six minutes to curtain call
Avant premiere
Surprises always come but the music
If anything detects a romantic
Mood of the fifties and sixties
Ah to dance with Fred
Or be in the arms of ... Elvis
Bye bye mr dream
Alas welcome to reality.

La vie ailleurs

Je n'ecris plus ici
il me manque - la France
terriblement sans savoir pourquoi??
Isolee dans une banlieue

Je ne parle plus ici
il me manque - l'amour fou
je sais trop bien pourquoi
Isolee dans mon lit.

Je ne vie plus ici
il me manque - la vie
presque battue de mes pensees
isolee dans mon cerveau.

sound and not

Gum chewing eschewing
bad breath but
my visage is
a facial masque
of mal-configuration.
.

Inverted bridal haiku

A wedding in October
a chill of wind blows
good omen for bride and groom.

morning surprise

Sitting working at my keyboard
I hear the front door bustle
is it an unexpexted intruder
who will my life rustle?
no it is my darling daughter
who the door buckles.

Recycling conundrum

I like to recycle
invitations to credit cards
I try to cut out
the critical numbers - shard
without a doubt
it is not a mere trifle.

wrong citation

Curiosity killed the cat
is a wrong citation
of the proverb
worrying killed it - splatt
is a revelation
that's superb!
