Maitre’ Poet Walk in and ask for the poem de’jour, and who shall greet you at table high? Woman, spike your heel behind this spine Of tallest care, Man, sit high and quiet, oh ye soul so lost, Speak quiet debonair… For food, it can be a lost soul’s dream, to Slip life’s tongue into poet’s sweetest cream Then fall into the quagmire deep Where love and laughter could fall asleep… To land into Alice’s dream where teacups, And questions, and Red Queens Reign! All that might be lost is found in our Maitre’ Poet, A figment’s imagine of lost status quo-et’s, Don’t say I’m wrong, for who could explain Those who say po-em, and those who pome, Can they be exactly song’s same? I smile and wink, and look back at you, For a poet’s mind simply leaves no clue For where we would wander and where we would stay A poet’s transference is ours, in mislay How like the maitre’d we are, we sit in quiet Then wait upon stars, Who would our fortune so portend To exude to us our habits, lives, then when… We listen so close, with the most gracious ear, As we layer our poems with cream, sauce or beer, We roast and we flame our feelings that stake Our individual souls, that we might make A Poet’s Medallion, that we might be test'd To kick up our notch, n'oblige, but blessed….

I'd say this poem hits the bullseye, but for you the center of the target is so perforated that your arrows go right through without even slowing down..... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Smiling large at this one, Karilea... what I do see through my poet's eyes. Too bad recent cloudings have left me both far and near sighted...perhaps blinded for a bit. Time to wipe the clouds and tears away for I have indeed wandered to far astray. This is just beautiful. Patricia |

Ahhh Karilea, you make me smile with so much clever m'dear. my fav lines..... For food, it can be a lost soul’s dream, to Slip life’s tongue into poet’s sweetest cream To land into Alice’s dream where teacups, And questions, and Red Queens Reign! How like the maitre’d we are, we sit in quiet Then wait upon stars,. Keeping this btw  Maree. fate is not just |
