hail to the cancer of the skin
you are many of a kind
you poke the people of yore
you sneak up - like a vine
you enter folks through the sun
and grow on them like blooms
if they do not pay attention
you will put them to ruin
heed to my little poem today
do not be a sun - bun like me
but be cautious and lather up
- your humble bumble bee.

Sunday Me
Sunday morning papers
mourning the world's state
mooning about
life's little peculiarities
why - whom - where
nonsensical politicians
of any denonmination
only in for their own
(if I ruled the world
it would be different)
a benevolent autocratic
with a sense of humor!
Ach - what a waste!

A start
After the winter storms
arrives the spring?
alas here in the state
all we see is drip-drip
and slushy grayish snow
away washed the white
albeit - the equinox
a month off from now
always wondering if -if?

Winter puzzle
Thunder in winter
wintry thundering
unheard of
yet I hear
dark rumblings
on a stark morn
and it is coming
closer - will I
see sparks too?

Backup
The screen on the laptop
died last night
and fear of losing
files of years gone
strangled my gut
BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP
because of course
lackadaisial as I am
I never did the crucial
BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!
now in years to come
I shall try to become
more efficient and savvy
not to be caught
in the users' conundrum

Sarah remembered
A foggy day
in London town
sounds infinitely
better than
a snowy day
in Maryland.
The kids love
the latter
Some of the adults
too - young
at heart -
but to walk
at twilight in
misty-coated
metropolis
would be
a pre - St . Valentines
come true.
To sassy Sarah's
memory on a
forced house-bound
day somewhere.

"White paper"?
"white paper"
is my computer's
empty screen;
it can mean
a government's
wishes or programs;
in between
it can be origami
and other whatnots;
an authors start of
a novel or short;
so with these
empty thoughts
I still created
out of nothing
something!

"Monumental" Men
Film of Hilterian looting
reminded me: of rooting
for anything or anyone
beware: - do not succumb
to demonic leaders or fanatics
- they are much too emphatic
they will ensnare the souls
they will the minds control;
therefore always be sceptical
of men who are dogmatical!

Rodina - all mighty
A special day
the wintry Olympic games
that start in Sochi, Russia!
The competitions harden
the Russians
because they must win -
showing the might
Rodina Excelsia
The image of
Potemkin villages
have not been
in vain!

Grandkids' future?
My grandsons and granddaughter
are so very far away
and to this very day
their smiles and their laughter
remains elusive and yet
through my "lorgnette"
running in their backyard
that is my vanguard
their future to author
they will go farther
I see valiant archers
for now: you play marauder!

6 ore weeks says the groundhog
I have had enough
of wintry stuff
why can't we have
blue skies above?
Must we have 6 more
of those snowy scores
and endure the cold?
ah - I shouldn't scold
brat - and all that
face the splat
and laugh it off -
the groundhog huff'd.

Down to earth - jetlag again
After a trip
long distance
the usual jetlag
hits
- seeking advice
to combat this!
The older you get
the more diffult
it gets
- thanks a lot
A more palpable
counsel
appears in an email
- "I hear that
orgasms help!"

Une memoire tres douce
Un matin tout pres
de Paris regrette
la memoire de la ville
reste eternelle
tres eblouissante
d'un epoque -
la jeunesse innocente-
fermant les yeux;
d'un reveil porte
l'air febrile - mon Paris -
l'eau qui coule
pour rincer aupres
du macadam -
le bruit matinal
les cafes qui s'initalisent -
les hommes balayant
le trottoir - prets
pour un autre jour
non je n'ai rien
repousse de ma vie
et cette periode
etait une trouvaille
pour la trouvere.

La traversee
Un retard de l'avion
une greve des controleurs
et voila - moi
dans un hotel aupres
d'un aeroport
autour de ma ville preferee -
et si je voulais
me rendre la
je ne pourrai pas a
cause de la distance
en bus jusqu'au RER
alors je m'amuse
sur l'internet et
n'en fais rien.
Un temps perdu -
Dommage.
Mais j'ai rencontre
un femme qui s'en
va en Inde pour
faire la ceremonie
de notre terre
convaincue de son enfance
elle se rend chaque annee
pour etre la a cette fete.
Je lui a dit -
que notre Gaia en a besoin.
Et alors j'ai pense
cyniquement
que elle a quand meme
pollue la terre en se
rendant la bas.
La traversee rend des
fois la folie.

Le clocher du village
Le clocher a dit un mot
il le dit: a l'heure;
quand il marche le jour
et il se tait la nuit
un instant - un mouvement
J'adore entendre le son
de ce clocher -
des fois la cloche se
melange dans son pourparler
et elle a une presence
formidable - car elle
dit la messe est prete
ou un marriage ou
un enterrement -
les passages importants
de la vie - tandis que
le clocher il marche
tout le temps - et
la vie passe avec lui.

Un dernier jour
Le dernier jour d'etre ici
comme d'habitude
je me suis regalee
apres un mois et demi
j'ai pratique
la solitude
aussi avec mon bien-aime
mais surtout la maison
ou je demeure
etait le coin d'amis
en partant
je pleure
esperant
qu'un autre fois
d'y revenir
entendre le clocher sonner
en portant le sautoir
de perles -
dans ma memoire.

Nuages roses
Il y avait un nuage rose
sur mon ciel bleu
une minute avant c'etait
un coeur -
une seconde apres
triangle d'un beige pale
et maintenant trois
petits animaux
blancs
de la grande mer -
disparu!

Le pretentieux
Le soleil joue avec ses rayons
sur les murs il fait semblant -
qu'il a raison de jouer aux ombres
mais il n'est pas le seul maitre
il y a Gaia qui tourne 24 sur 24
il y en a ensuite des nuages
mais tout le monde peut simuler
et pourquoi pas lui - aussi?

Irreal reality
In my little cocoon
in a small village
I sit on the top floor
looking out on day
full of sunshine and warmth
-
somwhere else, every close
to home two people and the gunman
were shot dead Saturday morn.
-
irreal reality discovered
on Facebook one
quiet Sunday -
Why?
