3 Hour Tour

deserted island

I stowed away

with castaways

got lost for days

just floatin’

drifted to

a green lagoon

on pontoon

saved from boatin’

built some huts

with bamboo struts

with coconuts

for shingles

caught a sow

for dinner chow

and held luau

to mingle

of ladies three

the pedigree

the richest she

was older

while hourglass

defined the lass

(the tits and ass)

that smoldered

the girl next door

in shorty shorts

she wore

her tresses plaited

baked some pies

to please the guys

–a partner shy

of dating

(a walking check)

(an intellect)

(the boss of wreck)

(and matey)

since hull was toast

we lived on coast

composing SOS’s

the theme of show

for year or mo’

but which show,

can you guess it?

Spell it Rite

witchy

by honey comb

and brush of Sage

I smoothed a hairy tale

by breaking dams

with teardrop wand

I wendt beyond the Pale

by teaching trees

the way to be

by learning

dance from plants

by shading in

the missing Bits

between the pith

and branch

by curtain calling

shadow sHowS

by listening to night

I Paged the strangest

leaves of Change

& rectified

a rite.

witchy me

10th Life

nice kitty
 
You curl in my lap

needing my legs

waiting for me to Rise

our coldness converges

in negative warmth

my robe is yours
 
 
your claws the scythes

that divide it

you hiss

growl

and stalk

ad infinitum

but do you purr?

Chatty Kathy

chatty kathies

If you truck with gossips

it’s no toss-up how that ends

soon it’s you

to be the who

is topic to his friends

>vivisecting<

choice selections

told to him in private

skewed to

)fit)

the worldview

of chatty autopilot

it’s just a fact

that talking smack

will set a karmic table,

the dirt you dish

presents the risk

of starring in that fable.
