Bred and more

 Galapagos Island turtles

Breed in Zurich wow

Biden’s number 100 day

Breeds more change

So turtles and presidents 

Are both being bred 

Bored cookies

 Uninspired by an April weather day

Even the scones refused to sparkle

And their taste seemed totally bland

But the recipe called for naught sugar 

it mixed itself with the blueberries 

Yawn they seemed to scream - alas

YOLO

 Acronyms and shortened names

Never liked them

Know they are needed - practical 

On occasion- I come across one

YOLO

not quitting at pension’s age

Works for some - what else is there

Or is enamored by the profession

Just keeps them eternally young

YOLO

Here is my own conundrum 

But in the end I have to agree 

That every day is precious &

Shit could hit any time

YOLO 

After dinner thoughts

 Exciting times seeing friends 

For the first time after being shot

... against Covid-19 - agreeing

That the pandemic is not the worst

That could happen if you sailed

Through the Strait of Messina

unscathed-untouched-healthy

With your friends and family

Your boat ride only to end surely

When you expired and drifted away

But this feeling of chatting freely

Without fear of dying from air particles 

Gave in to some weird thoughts

Of true freedom in body or mind

A spirit of je ne sais quoi initially 

Evolving into a joyful patter

Above all or nothing important 

Sense of true belonging though

We are all on the same journey 

But how we rock the boat is

In many ways a question of luck

Time era - genes and maybe

The nurture  which slipped 

Just a tad during this period 

Without a vaccine or hope thereof.

Joys of spring haiku

 Beauty is reborn 

Flowering mosquitoes now

Bite tenaciously 

Sofa’s corner

A sofa stood on a lawn

Used  - a little forelorn

Its pillows were torn

Free and clean the sign read

Spring was out and about

It was glorious and stout

Anything but  a phaseout

second chance homestead ?

Limp along the way

Sleeping limb felled me

I fell and broke a finger

again today the drowsiness

of  my foot alerted me

Imperative to keep score

of your body's twists and turns

give your blood vessels

the time to undo the snoring

Alas I am not young anymore 

Slægter

Slægter du slægten på eller af?

Ved du nok om din egen familie?

Er der skjulte ting i klædeskabet

er man sikker på at der ikke er halv-

helsøskende et eller andet skjult sted?

Har en eller anden bror/søster/onkel

doneret spermacetter til en sædbank?

Ligner din fætter din onkel?

Eller ligner han måske din far?

Kan genforskningen virkeligt

få mysterierne til at stoppe eller

bliver de værre - fordoblet?

Kan svulmende barme være

et træk hos alle i kvindelinien?

Vikingetommelfingre hos drenge?

Sygdomme og genetiske tendenser

er naturen stærkere end viljen?

 

Hvorfra hvorfra hvorfra?

 

Column hunting

To want a simple Greek column

For our yard or inside our house

Is a cat’s hunt for a wild mouse

Or a downhill trip doing slalom 

One would think it would be easy

With all the gadgets and things 

To buy an item  not fit for a king

But it seems difficult not breezy 

The locals stores both big and small

Have got nothing of a simple kind

Doric or Ionic sample on my mind

Not an acanthus  or a weird oddball

So I turn to the net the great beyond

Looking for my “granite” caryatid 

Too many weirdly shaped  monoliths

Could I find it mayhap at “Amazon”?

Alas, the biggest mall in the world 

Returns something semi- satisfactory 

Not really a desired item calefactory

But my search is the history purled!

Orlanda furiosa's lost way

Angry - angry - vile disease

the randomness - a sleaze

of an astrophysicist I know

the going downhill grows

he no longer can do a thing

life stinks with a bitter zing

Too many battle this combat

couldn't we the brain reformat

so that everyone would win

over this brain demise' kin

Alzheimer's or dementia alas

the numbers grow I'm aghast

So Orlanda furiosa's great quest

help her friend's with a life vest

continue to learn - never stop

to read question walk  and up

the ante of exercise - eat soundly

just live more profoundly

The info is out there cool and clear

numbers talk  even this year

one in three seniors will die

from these two diseases - a pie

with cancers breast/dick combined

train your blasted frame of mind

Today I am truly sad and mad

at the friggin' illness to be had

maybe it is Gaia's true revenge

that she is building a stone henge

to show that humans are curiosa

You are nothing, Orlanda furiosa

Intimate refuge

On this day Aussie friend

You appeared in the sphere

my personal poet muse

Gone already more than ten

Intimacy and earnest - dear

My quiet go to refuge
