Sijo On A Wet Saturday Afternoon

Sijo ..A Korean Poetic Form

Let me ask you, butterfly, do you remember your cocoon?
Perhaps you recall spinning thread, a caterpillar's ungainly crawl?
If you can jog your memory ,maybe there is hope for me.

my ears ring with joy as i whisk eggs and chop onions
you cast your magic , who knew slicing red peppers was euphoric
i flip the omelettes con brio, to your seductive gigue

Knowledge

 to acquire knowledge
 reading is the secret
books are best friends

I believe
praying to a Higher Power
gives me strength

the love of god a gift
enriching an earthly life
concluding in the hereafter
much more than ashes for  
the urn on the mantelpiece

levitate heat passion helitrope ballet legs
latch inseperable media iridescence harmony flashover



the two were inseperable
the iridescence of her heliotrope eyes
locked him into overwhelming heated passion
with a giant latch embrace
legs levitating
flailing in all directions
in their swan lake ballet
a poetic tango
a flashover
a harmony between them
twas a media sensation

a life time of scars
from the slings and arrows

 canopy harm held irreversible billow
 pear simmer chew infest ashen

a canopy of pears
held up by tree branches
billowing in the wind
infested with  grubs
chewing away 
the rot irreversible
the harm already done
you simmering with anger
ashen face'd with rage
