Ghost of Cleopatra ‘neath the Nile
A thousand years had haunted twice before
In hearing of fresh fame sh[ad]e knew for sure
Life witness bears to one whose peerless smile
...
Wishy Washy I
train brain, strain grey cells' refrain,
ever seeking 'why'?
...
In seduction I lack
not one whit in the sack,
make strategic attack -
maiden's tongue tied and, thwack!
...
The clouds, which mask mount Fuji from below,
Above appear a blanket of Spring snow.
Arriving by air
...
Two shivers rivered shocks down spine
as he takes stock mid rocks and pine
whose needle presence seeds a sigh,
as time spun by, as time spun by
...
To verse, or role reverse, that's in the question,
when writer's block may cause some indigestion,
[with contests tougher then the going's rougher]
Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer
...
Ocean surf dull roars
to lee of lowly cottage
where wild seagull soars.
Love, lacking cold and hotage
...
Background important
messages transmits, beyond sight
to readers distant.
...
Alas! What hope remains? The Welfare State,
Wrought through the years of blood, sweat, toil and tears,
Of suffering and strife, to some appears
Refuted by f[r]ee enterprise whose weight
...
Eternity in sand grain signed
spans time in rhyme that, here, needs bind
through more than ten score lines assigned
to blossom fair [h]our prose aligned.
