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?

HE’S SWEET ON SOMEONE
–
His is emotionally
Attached to someone he sees…
Willingness per view
Is nothing new,
For years, near-automatically!
–
He doesn’t dare name names,
To much risk that doing so shames….
Him and /or her
Better, as it were,
Keep on with his excuses lame.
–
In honest reality,
He’s sweet on nearly all he sees…
That are of a mind
Both open and kind,
A give-and-take mentality.
–
Certain ones do catch his eye,
Reveal…he won’t even try…
Suffice to say
Some blow him away,
But he’d be lost without his “Di.”
(His wife’s nickname)

DEDICATED TO eh, MANY kind souls…FOXY FEMALES ALL! 😀
FAR MORE THAN DECORATION
–
Mention the woman’s name “Holly”
And folks think about Christmas jolly…
Singing DECK THE HALLS
While a snow drift calls,
In a Christmas culturally “poly”.
–
She wanted to go away,
Then decided to stay…
Our Holly found
Without her around,
A lot of folks felt dismay!
–
Her writing’s a treasure trove
Fashioned in creative love…
Greeting each guest
She does the best,
And really has nothing to prove!
–
Last of all–to put up with me–
Requires to the Nth degree…
Kindness unbounded
From a guy who’s hounded
His share toward insanity!
–
Love her romancing her–no–
But I love the rest of her so…
If I was available
She’d be assailable,
Why a guy hasn’t–I don’t know.
–
I fervently wish she can–
If she wants–to find a good man…
Whatever she needs
With my Father I plead,
That she may not leave us again.
–
Some day, of course, many will,
When blogging won’t pay bills…
Or another medium
Makes better comedians,
Then will our blog go still.

The blogging beauty !
❤ 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…!

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
DO YOU THINK I HAVE ENOUGH???
–
Finding room is getting rough,
Do you think I have enough…
One more dream
Fulfilled as schemed,
Engines that run but don’t puff.
–
Can’t run more than two at a time,
Embodying memories sublime…
Reaching the end
Of finances, friend,
Over-spending is a crime.
–Jonathan Caswell
ADDED MATERIAL
–
A friend drops off today’s paper,
Some days it’s fat–others–in taper…
All that I see
Is worth it to me,
The news about a caper.

–Jonathan Caswell
DID YOU WATCH?
–
On ME-TV, tonight, the final episode,
Of M.A.S.H.’s run, ten years old…
Listening to actors,
Writers and directors
Talk about their feelings showed?
–
I almost didn’t watch–made me sad–
Returning to feelings I had…
Something slips,
Getting hots for “Hot-Lips”
Wasn’t really, really that bad!
–
Not as innocent as then,
–
At least gthey ended with hope
Of where various characters grope…
Rebuilding lives,
Going in–surprise–
At how they managed to cope.
–
It was a complicated show,
Two and a half hours or so…
Not totally happy
At least the capping
Of that well was good to go.!
