Tropical Creme Drizzle

Aloha Poets,
Tropical creme drizzle inspires today's poem. Enjoy!

Perky Superstitious and Waterfalls

The mutuality of exchange flows for awhile but not away
Brief pleasantries try the patience as if a pastry gone astray
Points of appreciation rankle at the ankles in perky superstition
Thank you notes smooth naive invitations beyond imposition

So small an offer of brevity to try to put your thoughts best
A reflection of discourse in camaraderie holds close the life vest
How appropriate the act wanders lonely down a water trail beside
Beneficiary calls of wilderness, in those caves you can't hide

Dust off heartfelt reciprocation that's the least opportune
Desires for a future alleviates whistling at least a poor tune
Purposeful design gets the smile that gets the gas
Specificities called by name see no blame and lets you pass

Sincerity flowered produces the opposite of effect
Tactless efforts misread instead flash to misdirect
Compliments abound to the giver, a new friend found
On further cue examples examine purposes raft-bound

Personality written timely scopes a sincere landscape
Kindness overbooked renders useless its tired close scrape
The overlooked cooks up schemes as if on a rapids ride
Combinations of acceptance and refusal hide fears inside

Hand write to me your first thought of reserved reprieve
Appreciation remembers itself if you don't get up and leave
Personal feelings of thanks splash formalities onto snow
Insights ignite in a sunny supple supply all aglow

Being touched by an angel bearing gifts of usual self
Remembering in attendance that glittering ballroom elf
Generosity reigns pieces of love on the crazy brave
Thoughtfulness streams inevitable extremes into a cave

Prompt the pleasure of courtesies to curtsy beyond cute
A look forward enhances the urge to bring a parachute
Dedication ices sweet cake in swarms and drizzles
A perky face supersedes the fake as superstition fizzles

Keep yourself informed of progressions and dress parades
Work to rework the successions of advances and accolades
Be true to wonder in the thunder as watery greed stalls
Costs of water falls the closer you close in on waterfalls

Catcher in the Rise

Aloha Poets,
The apartment building in Hawaii where John Lennon's killer worked as a night security guard in late 1980
before he murdered John at the Dakota apartment building in New York City December 8, 1980.
The killer by his own admission was inspired by reading JD Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye" in his time before the murder.
JD Salinger recently died of natural causes after living as a recluse in a small house in New Hampshire, a far cry from a former Hawaii night security guard's identity with "The Catcher in the Rye" and John Lennon's Dakota apartment building in New York City.
JD Salinger only wrote one novel, John Lennon only had one life.

Housing for a Rotor

Well I guess its about time the plot thickens
Rules of thumb for a sum of a number of chickens
The oncoming carry the bones in town;s parade
Into the cauldron where church bells are made

After the silence will the blade finally hold?
The impact is incalculable or so I'm told
As they callously cull all calls to arms
And come up to play from down on the farms

Such a small parade from small remote houses
Each alone at their hone as if small mouses
To scorn a future life in a place so scary
Parents encourage their children to marry

Extra reclusivity guns for the unshunned
As wind turbines fan the flames from the sun
Solar panels come along for a silky ride
Obsessively articulated as if positioning a new bride

How to wear this heartache of paradox
That irresistible ship of rotors in a box
Love crazed boys show off in those planes
From her window only wind turbines on plains

Answers lie somewhere in cloud spattered skies
A heartache fits all, out there its all one size
Belle of the ball and ball bearings of jet stream
Get your bearings as expectation reigns supreme
