fading
at sunset
cooler breezes
evoke slight goose bumps
or perhaps they are caused
by the spectral reflection
of sky colors kissing the sea
overwhelmed by many sensations
dusk evolves slowly in the April sky
I shiver, knowing Holy Saturday
pulls curtains of anguish to a close
remaining awake to see dawn
tapping Resurrection’s hope
wrapping my weary heart
sensing salvation
as Christ rises
Easter morn
love brings
joy

spring,
White chevron squadrons usher in spring
With squawking and honking and flapping of wings.
Their return brings a weekend to revel in fun.
The locals all love it, and hundreds more come!
But the poor migrant snow goose must be sorely perplexed;
Revered on one weekend, then slaughtered the next!

love, wifeheart, heart, life,
For you’re my heart and my life’s chosen muse.
Without you, my life would be so confused.
You’re the one my heart chose on that sweet day,
You’re the one who brightened my lonely life.
When you looked at me in that charming way,
I knew then, I had to make you my wife.
The way you walk and the way you move, girl.
Gives my body goose-bumps the size of pearls.
You set my life free from its loneliness,
Alongside you is my best company.
You filled my cup; there’s no more emptiness,
And you are my muse to write poetry.
I say we’ve had the loveliest embark,
That’s why I wrote a sonnet for my heart.

Goose Fair
I really do love Goose Fair
It’s such a great feeling just to be there
Carousels going round and round
With your feet not even touching the ground
Or Dodgems bumping into one another
Leaving your heart all of a flutter
Candy floss, sticking all over your face
Tucking into hot mushy peas, while round you race
Some rides just too scary to go on
If like me, you are getting on
But that does not stop you having the time of your life
Especially when you have had, Countless years of Agoraphobia and strife.

funny love, husband,
There was an old woman called Hattie
whose hubby's name for her was fattie.
So she cooked his goose
hung him from a noose
then buried him in a cow pattie!

Unexpectedly
his miniature hand
bathed my arm
Attached to it
the query
“Pops”
“Yes son
I love you too”
And his giggles raced on

Goose pimpled cold

Steely seldom blinked
Poker eyes
Wrinkled straight mouth
Smile

Voiceless response

Romantic impressionism
Give me love

Our eyes meet and then shy
His breath draws closer to mine
Tingling currents
Down my spine
Lips caress and glide
Soft pecks move on to slide
Hands lock into mine
Warm rays of sunshine
May I?
A virgin canvas am I
Slow brush
A stroking touch
Short peck
Colour my neck
Oscillating heart beat
No feeling below my feet
Whispers of heat
Crawling goose bumps
Peppermint sweet
The clocks have stopped
The world is still
Tongues intertwine
Slow sips of wine
I cling onto my lifeline
It’s pure
It’s perfect
This
The butterfly effect

There was this teal duck and Canada goose,
That 'neath a cloistered Colorado spruce,
Enjoyed a lusty-ful tryst,
Ending up in a quaint twist!
Their offspring sported feathers of chartreuse!

A dog and a goose
For some unknown reason,
Fell hopelessly in love
Last Spring season.
He serenaded her
With his barking voice,
She wobbled at the wings
With his barking choice.
Next he started plucking
His country guitar,
He pawed out a tune,
She fell in love so far.
Then they sailed on
A river boat cruise,
He howled at the moon,
Then sung her the blues.
Now both have returned
To their rustic farm,
Goose still swooning
At his doggy charm.
They moved in together
In a haystack barn,
He tends to sheep
While she knits their yarn.

Limericks crochetés: Once a cardsharp comic called Don Dump
Once a cardsharp comic called Don Dump
Made father’s money jump during slump
Dreamed of ruling this earth
Joined campaign (in) stand-up mirth
Made people laugh without using trump.
He played to the gallery hirsute
Soon his jokes turned sauerkraut through soot
Before long they cried : Heil !
Jackboots clicked, people wail
In goose-step, give : Sieg ! Heil ! salute.
Moral : « Listen not to funny man Dump !
Migrants all know how to scale wall jump.
Ten million there love US
Minus some (who) think like louse !
Live not solipsistic world on rump ! »

god, inspirational,
I feel a shiver run down through me
From my head goose bumps to my toes
The Holy Ghost burns my body sweet
As throughout the Lord’s words echo love
And recognition unto remembrance
Of repentance and all those sins that have past
Gathered would have been heaped upon me
A pile of coal blackened black
But, it was my Savior
Who gave all the love that He hath
Forgave one as weak as I
As He atoned for my lack
And loved me more, than…
Unconditional, than could a mere man

I love to hear you speak
Ever if your voice is just a squeak!
Anything is better than this quiet,
I may go out and start a riot!
Do you think I'm too fat?
Or are you just being a brat!
Do you want me to fall flat?
Sorry but I won't do that.
Some days you will never speak-
I feel like throwing you in the creek!
Are you showing a mean streak?
Or has someone tied up your beak?
I know you're just a goose-
But that is no excuse
For all this non-verbal abuse,
Come on, let me hear you break loose!
Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk!
LOL
Just a little fun with rhyme and story. Hope you enjoy.

lost love, native american
Isolated I sat.
There was a moon in the sky,
she was just as alone as I was
in a sky full of stars.
I could taste my own sorrow
The taste was thick on my tongue
like honey
but more bitter sweet the taste.
There was a cold in my limbs.
I longed for warmth,
to be held in those arms,
but no.
No longer did they hold me
I’d fallen away from them
cold and alone.
The sheets are stiff against my skin
goose bumps steal my flesh.
I watched the moon.
There is a tale somewhere
that says she too once had a lover
but they were taken from her.
Now she, like me, sits
cold and stiff in the night.
Alone, waiting.

betrayal,
Mysterious woman ran in the middle of the night
Yelling with panic the name of her dearly loved
Shaking with goose bumps at the bad feeling
Terrible event robbed his physical presence
Eluding a true that affected a third person
Rifle sound broke the peace of a small town
Yearning a forbidden love that ended in tragedy

IT AIN'T NURSERY RHYMES
(It's haiku by Shiraito)
Three little kittens
jumped over the candle stick
Mama goose is sick
peas porridge is hot
can't get to heaven on a watermelon rind
Mama goose is loose
old man Humpty Dumpt
sat in a corner on his rumpt
squashed a big spider
hear the mourning dove
got a big hole in my glove
I might be in love
one potato two potato
twenty-six potato more
Susie's a floozie
come ride on my swing
you can sit right on my lap
we'll pump to the sky

Is when the touch is felt
Without being touched
Is when the kiss is felt
Without being on the lips
It is intimacy
Is when the eyes are staring
Without being noticed
Is when the stomach has goose bumps
Without the acne
It is intimacy
Is when the heart focuses
Without distractions
Is when the feelings are in sequence
Without the control of the mind
It is intimacy
Is when the cuddle is enough
Without the expectations
Is when love is on the mind
Without the thoughts
It is intimacy

It was a gray midwinter day
Trees were bare
Frost filled the air
Blankets of snow everywhere
Yet, you were there...
The fireplace glow our hearts fill
Passion shows
Goose bump chills
Singing winds blow
Crackling wood below
Love burns even in snow...

Mushroom soft bed hears lines we read aloud
Shapely verse rhythms arc like trailing waves
Goose-fleshed words uttered, pillow talk endowed
Teasing us closer, haze of misbehave
Silver dark night, perishable, shapes love
Rhythmic movement, a glow in your round eyes
A furtive look of courtship, passion's dove
Beguiling smile, pulled harp string of loose sighs
Arms like branches wrap 'round our oasis
To set free the bending tree bark, lonely
Whispered covert charm that shifts our basis
Desire's loyal touch that smites us slowly
To kiss skin cupped about in furrows
Till summer's dawn shakes us on the 'morrow

I have met the sweetest little wonder.
I am feeling so wonderful and loose.
This little cutie comes from down under.
She’s like a golden egg laid by a goose.
I can endure the lightning and thunder.
Hold the vodka, give me plain orange juice.
Don’t stifle this feeling. Just let it grow.
To Australia is where I shall go.

earth, nature,
A lake,long,long like a rope.
It shakes lightly from the effect of the breeze.
It's seemingly peaceful like a sleeping suckling babe.
Beside it,are greenish herbs and shrubs.
Passersby stop to take a glimpse.
The goose takes a peep,
The feathery duckling never ceases to play on it.
The other bird,dove and her likes,
fly over it on their return home at dawn.
Puppy lovers long to sit by it just after noon.
It has its source from the lowly fount of the north,
to the rocky edge of the south of the village.
All love the long,long lake.
