Poems

Brinkman
Sonnet CDIV
Alderman’s red floating Tie causing friction
Cold Chain of late Lord Mayor under Moss
Vigorously in agreement Aurora Borealis loss
Large dark eyes white silk Scarf addiction
Hither known Flying Dutchman lying affliction
Labor saving apparatuses for the boss
Mutual hobgoblin poor man monster’s gloss
Venetian Mass May Poles chiefly benediction
Moe regal Lodge with my pal’s opal direr
Elbow length Ivory Gloves Ball Dress adventure
Tortoise shell quizzing dun sink hirer
Getting glasses from inside her huge Opossum Muff venture
Grill of the waste pine held up by bailing wire
Sleety day objectionable person always indenture
Sonnet CDIII
Five Gunnies bet on a King and an Ace
Bells toll slowly she exhales on the nest Acre
Coen earnestly dachshund baker
I once was in the employ playing Base
How it is she is bearing her Knee Brace
Bottle of Sherry before the heart-breaker
Burial docket number pray for the maker
Cat and mouse in the great cheese chase
Dear Devil Salmon leap in the actual
Icky lackey mickey sticky farmer Actor
Fate worst breast bone serine slip contractual
Gazelles leaping cedar groves factor
Rose draws apart shame of factual
Workman’s corduroy overalls under the tractor
Sonnet CDII
Play solitaire until dawn missing an Ace
Sunburst appears in the northwest Acre
Interplanetary transmitter’s baker
She is wearing frog green socks fishing for Bass
Toilet tank of life refilling hereditary brace
Alabaster light horse a heart-breaker
Cannon-shot strikes down ice-cream maker
Dawn of a Christian dog caught the chase
Powerful enemies or lovers actual
Penny dinner on stage with frog actor
Readymade sealed envelopes not contractual
Mercy on your soul Black Skull-cap factor
Rich rolling utterance scout caps factual
Sinister knobbed ridding knuckle-buster tractor
Sonnet CDI
Puffing and blowing peacefully absurd
Raga muffins meadow of murmuring to accept
Phenomenologist tar barrels and bone-fire crept
Lamppost telegraph pole window sills sitting Blackbird
Sunburst appears in the northwest a classic Bluebird
Keep back the crowd as she slept
Hey-pots rainspouts whistling well silent kept
Drum band head in the distance from Ladybird
Trailing banners and waving palms archery
Primate train bands honorary baker
Plutocratic order of precedence cork flakey
Honor of the world’s greatest faker
The cloth of the estate chapter of the shaky
Tears appear in the final dress of the dressmaker
Downsizing
Coolest thing about you
Downsizing can mean challenges
An event New York
The way you like it
It’s an exciting time
After three years at home
The way you like it
Don’t forget Elephant appreciation day
Pick the right Rosemary stalk
You never outgrow your smile
Any supplement plan
Tune in turn on
Are you Okay?
Extended risk free
Sonnet CDXXXXII
Man reappeared elsewhere glimmer of the Baroness
Lapse of four minutes to meet the Brunette
Semi-transparent semi-circular glass Corvette
Woman reappeared without her cat to play Chess
Entering softly lighted candle’s eeriness
Running down a turning staircase with a burning Marionette
Five songs in dark crevice with Ronda’s Quartet
Drew two spoon seats spinning chairs dizziness
Obey signs on the floor to follow master Yoga
Crate a Payne knelt on one knee nodal
Crosland sticks twenty one shillings a ton at Saratoga
Carbon and hydrogen of the modal
Similar apparition free union Toga
Kneeling on one of two to yodel
Sonnet D
Mucking up old sloppy eyes went blank
Storm tossed hearts of man on tap
Her dressing gown is missing the cap
Star of the sea curly-headed crank
Cherry ripe red lips slightly altercation in the bank
Left Skiing in Switzerland to take a nap
Emblems frozen in stereo-scope sap
Scented urine’s faintly yank
Running across the sweep of the sand is the task
Message of salivation in taxes
Molten pewter cask
Pale silent turtle-hide Whale’s waxes
Breeches of paradise of pretenders mask
Hand maid of the moon laying in a sack
Sonnet CDIL
Red Stone White Clay Brick
Beckoning whispered by the wind’s album
Lonely silence day for a bum
Blinding Zig Zag of lightning tick
Deep velvet Azure fragrance in her click
Vague loneliness when she is planting a Mum
Star thrown shadows of night’s total sum
She’s playing bass with a broken Pick
Meadows of murmuring Henchmen’s flint
Vast caverns deep canyons climb
Limp as a wet rag for a hint
Penny Diamonds for a Dime
Pine fringed plateau of mint
Incrustations of time
Sonnet CDLXXXXVII
Shattered glass toss
Her nightfall hand touch
Hobbling with the shadows of Dutch
England to France she swims across
Looking back Motley Ocean’s gloss
Hypostasis tickled her brain in as much
Medieval ads roes as such
Toppling masonry covered in moss
Lace fringed of her toast
Stranger ads rites scorch
Faintly sent of urine yet to boast
Misty English morning Tea on the porch
Spiritual conditional of her ghost
Weak wasting hand holding the torch
