He told me he loved me.
It was winter and snowing.
We walked on the street.

In a suburb, what a treat.
Houses aglow, Rudolph outside.
I wanted Santa there to go
for a sky ride.

Mom had her pink flocked
tree in our bay window glowing.
He kissed me then, I hoped
my blushing...

The Merry Minstrel of Mickleover

I strike this chord without a sword
For I am not so brave
Whence came a knight with armour bright
Who vowed princess to save

The wicked sire of the shire
Had seen well to kidnap
The daughter of the king and bring
Much wealth into his lap

Handsome...

Sue and I had lost contact when we left school and the Dominican Convent,
Met up ten years later, admitted both of us foolish, each nodded consent,
Had coffee, agreed to meet often, lived in Cape Town, merely a suburb apart,
Both happy with our villas, loved our...

Lovely

In deep woods, so verdant, quiet and still,
below the sun where bravely hawks do fly,
you’ll find a county spot called Owings Mills,
a suburb born beneath the Maryland sky.

Sweet doe pop their big eyes in headlights glare,
and maybe a huge stag will grace your path.
Escape from...

In a California suburb she sits,
Pondering to go on with her writs!
All seem pointless to her now.
Even though~to her family she 
made a vow!

To leave them a heritage of her life.
The happiness, sorrow, pain and strife.
Perhaps major surgery in November,
Made this vow, to her poetry...

Words,
too many words,
superfluous and useless.
They bind you in a swirling vortex,
drown you in inconsequential thoughtlessness.
 
Oh for a few moments of supreme silence,
in some secluded space, 
where you might not even hear 
the wayward wind comes and goes.
A quiet nook, devoid of insane noise,
You then...

“There is no death! What seems so is transition;
this life of mortal breath is but a suburb of the life elysian,
whose portal we call Death.”

I hail each  bronze, red, and blue coloured dawn,

as pulsing heart  mould torch flame of bliss,

to gaze across some awestruck mint sprig lawn,

that golden birthright never goes amiss


Eye beam urban verve one duly savours,

coruscating joie de vivre street life,

bursts of swift dash coffee’s...

In the depth of night, we gathered as one,
With eyes akin to a tiger, fierce and undone
The night itself, a canvas, poetry unbound,
Diction, akin to skyscrapers, soar as sound.

The moon and stars danced in verse.
A cosmos in every window spells obverse.
We gazed...

You can feel it spinning
                                fast
the Chinese, Japanese, American and European junk
orbiting at several...

If you are not from the area, you probably don’t know
about this town which is a suburb of Chicago.
It is located to the southwest of the Windy City.
With Morgan Park, it shares its northern boundary.
Blue Island thrives in the heart of  Cook County.
The people...

He's an urban redneck
Likes his George and Madflex
He's country and what's next
Metropolis with crops

From barn to the city
Farming in the nitty-gritty
He's surrounded by concrete
Too many suburb plots

Sticking to dirt past
Agricultural for the future
He's certain who are unsure
Aware of hidden costs

Plowing his own stake
And modern, make...
