WALKING ON THIN ICE

Poetry Month Poems – Lady – #2

 

Novelty of the humid
the nag champa haven of your dreams
kettuvallams sleep in peaceful Alleppey backwaters,
green sloppy sleep to rhythmic drink of wet
to feral babble of ring-necked parakeets
to drooping eyelashes of palms

It’s just another day of business
for someone

~ Lady

 

April Poetry Month Poems – #1

 

Sunlight plays serenade
wealth of land cries mead song
like Starland Vocal Band Afternoon Delight,
honeybirds on powerflowers, acanthus leaf
on corinthian column, splay of lay like spread
of Andrés Segovia Kama Sutra my thumb toe
peeking from bloom of rust dress like Psyche
and you Cupid come of age fat arms
plush in calligraphic detail

~ Lady
