He calls himself “fashion poet”,
One or two others know it…
In pursuits
Avoiding lawsuits,
He certainly doesn’t want to blow it!
–
Him being man and all,
Must carefully judge his call…
With less passion
Than stereotypical fashion,
Not being the Beast at the ball.
–
Gender matters to him,
Especially if women…
They’re the kind
He most has in mind,
Do they mind if he tiptoes in?

The Poet could be shot,
Will be, likely as not…
Suggesting bras
Have their flaws,
For the well-endowed are healthy and hot!
–
Those “bouncing” videos
Combined with torn muscle throes…
Unless contained
Could cause real pain,
Suff’ring of which somebody knows.
–
Foreigners complain that we,
Over-emphasize effacey…
Of the bra
For every flaw,
It shapes “them” daintily.
–
“Lift and separate”…*
Room to breathe is great,
Constricting–yes–
But look at the “bless”,
With others you comiserate!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
*A motto of PLAYTEX bras, if I remember!
A lass’ tartan skirts as lifted,
Demonstrates her gifted…
Sense of style
And joyful smile,
Aye, lassie, you’re more than just gifted!

❤ MY LOVE FOR LADY BLOGGERS ❤
–
Avowed love of lady bloggers,
Hard-working creative bloggers…
I love thee all
For me you stand tall,
Driving us romantics bonkers! 🙂
–
Some of you are very fetching,
Appearance not all that’s catching…
The mind and heart–
Thy very art–
Draweth me to your fine meshings!
–
By word and artistic guile,
You make this creative man smile…
Cry and laugh
On your behalf,
Each in a wonderful style.
–
Long distance hugs the rule
In this community cool….
Cool in attitude
To not be rude,
Suggesting of anything cruel.
–
Group hugs all around,
My love to all of you found….
In likes and raves
From this former knave,
Who likes in whose company he’s found!
😀

❤ JOANNE ❤
–
Putting it very succinctly,
Joanne in our eyes is distinctly…
A treasure to see
While we happily,
Visit her office meekly.
–
In fashion that’s the best,
In professional confidence rests…
Her cheery manner
With not a complainer,
Or any of which we’ll attest!
–
Blessed by her children dear,
We’re blessed by her presence here…
Those of us taken,
Loyalties unshaken
Would make our affection of her clear!
–
We hope this Valentine will do,
We sure do appreciate you…!

WANTED CLOSE COMMUNICATING!
–
The problem was both had hurts,
Committed by trousers and skirts…
Commitment to trust
Gathered rust,
Both thought the other curt.
–
Walls and grudges build
Despite commitments to yield…
Many a marriage
Is disparaged,
By combat in the field.
–
Obvious one doesn’t understand,
The other’s health demands…
One bends over,
The other takes over
And pushes one into badlands.
–
The verbose one wonders why
The silent one won’t try
to open
As they’re hoping,
To fill them in bye-and-bye.
–
The silent one’s thoughts run sarcastic,
The other one listens to drastic…
And half the time
Is not so inclined,
They both fall into that basket!

CHANGING TREE TANKA
–
Colors start to pop,
Trees shut down their leaves’ supply…
Green leaves turn colors:
Morphology is working
Just the same in ev’ry year!
–J.E.C.
–
People come from far
And near…”peeping” foliage…
Brighter is better:
Bus loads come en mass to shop.
Local business harvests crops!
–J.E.C.
–
A final push all
Benefit from folderol…
Festivals light skies:
Candied apples and brown bread
Folks ready for winter dead.
–J.E.C.
–
Railroad excursions,
Northeast woodland incursions…
Train cars filled with joy:
Steam or diesel pull the trains,
Nostalgic commerce makes gains!
–Jonathan Caswell
RAMADAN ON OUR STREET
–
From June seventeenth thereon,
To July seventeenth there upon…
Fasting days
After dark, feast and praise
Both joyfully and solomn.
–
The mosque just up the street
Have lights on the front–very neat–
That blink in waves
On certain days,
Kids must see this treat!
–
We’ve had little trouble starting,
Just drivers looking for parking…
Some worshipers may
Come from far away
Need to find where the party’s starting.
–Jonathan Caswell
