Simply 6 Minutes – Master of Flamboyance

Raven gives us an Australian Sonnet

Jezzie G

Inspired by and written for Simply 6 Minutes – my thanks to Christine for the prompt.

The flamingo, I believe, is as romantic as the swan in that it has an elaborate ritual to invite a mate, and they pair up for life. That’s Nat Geo for backing that up. Perfect then for a little song of love – the sonnet, the Aussie this time.

Master of Flamboyance
Form: Australian Sonnet

The day has come at last; he’s waited so long
He’s practiced his moves in the shady glades
Alone he danced to move as if on blades
Learning his rhythm without any song
Every step he’s learned deep in his heart
And now she’s watching with his love to perform
Letting his soul show; taking her by storm
Each graceful movement his own lover’s art
It’s too late now to play it coy…

A Real Health Problem: Compilation 08/31/2022

When I look in the mirror and look at my legs
I glimpse limbs that are swollen like hardboiled eggs
This Hypostasis was brought to the light
It isn’t a joke, it’s a sad, lethal plight
Its like a bad prank of the lower body
Responsive to fluid under skin you can’t see.
I head to the doctor on a bus ride to town
to get me the update likely making me frown
I’m the underdog here, I had no clear choice
Antics of real organs that haven’t a voice
In a world like a mansion with places to hide
The fluids stay put on the body’s insides
I ask you to tell loved ones, “With your body have stealth“
and remind them to keep a good eye on their health.

The Memory of All That

Jim gives us music this week!

A Unique Title For Me

The way you move your legs
The way you prance on the sand
The memory of all that
No, no, they can’t take that away from me
The way you flap your wings
The way you honk and grunt
The way you haunt my dreams
No, no, they can’t take that away from me
The way you lay your eggs
The way you dance to attract a mate
The way you changed my life
No, no, they can’t take that away from me
No, they can’t take that away from me
The way you dine on shrimp
The way feathers turn pink
The way you changed my life
No, no, they can’t take that away from me
No, they can’t take that away
Can’t take that away
Can’t take that away from me
