“The man
with no
imagination
has no
wings.”
.
~ Muhammad Ali

Elfje: (Cinquain) classic: each word only one syllable
.
wings
red bird
mate for life
from here to there
fly
.
Tanka: 5-7-5, 7-7

came to play baseball
World series in the fall
the best head to head
can’t bet against the money
big market teams advantage
.
Poem:
.
remember the poem with the made up words
emulating e.e. cummings was so absurd
the story about the bird who thought he was bold
the real truth, whole truth, can now be told
the bird had wings but no imagination
we think he was influenced by a strong libation
instead of thinking, he should have flew
that night he was the main ingredient in the stew
now he is part of a real poem with words that rhyme
and the star of a story that is true some of the time
poems that take readers to an imaginary paradise
desert first is peaches and cream with sugar and spice
poetry that puts the mind into motion
the sounds of waves on the shore of the ocean
poetic license to create something new
hopefully read by more than just you

“For last year’s words
belong to
last year’s language
And next year’s words
await another voice.”
.
~ T.S. Eliot
.
Elfje: (Cinquain)
.
trash
man’s refuse
unneeded and unwanted
a treasure for nobody
garbage
.
Lune: 5 / 3 / 5
.
listen everyone
pending storm
very quiet night
.
Poem: sonnet: the weather
.
thunder rolls past every afternoon
daily showers bring humidity
gulf winds bring in the monsoon
stifling weather breeds stupidity
lightning kills more than all other storms
It never rains on a golf course
best time to dig for fishing worms
rain cannot wash away remorse
weather the topic, safe to discuss
accept what it is without making a fuss
some like it cool, some like it hot
easy, just move to your ideal spot
change is the only thing you can expect
without having to be politically correct
