Starry Starry-Eyed Night

homophones again, same theme as last week.


Starry Starry-Eyed Night

I'll just suppose
I'll juxtapose
Mundane ice teas for
Monday niceties, four
Half-festive hours with you
Have fast devoured, with you
By a door, expectant
My adored, expect ten
Wishes on a star
Which is on austere
Schedules of winking
Schedule us, when can
I find time to breathe?
Dizzyingly alive
On this starry eve

Summer Love

homophones.

Summer Love

Sum her?
Summer
Sun-swept dresses
Sun's wept tresses
Portraying golden
Portraits in gold and
Cherries, it's endless smiles
Chariots and less miles
Dividing this splendor
Divining this, planned our
Time together
Thyme to heather
Lovely smelling
Love leads melding
Heart to heart
Hearth to hearth
To altar
To alter
The name of you
We, once single,
Now one, we two

My Dear Hurricane,

bw/fw.  by "August," I did not mean the month.


My Dear Hurricane,

August
Lips smitten with
Wailing sirens'
Speech of love
Drowning out
Sputtering words
(once spoken rain)
Like falling devotion
A gathering lake gathering a
Devotion
Falling like rain
Spoken once
Words sputtering out
Drowning love of speech
Sirens wailing
With smitten lips
A gust

Crossroad Tavern

homophonic.

Crossroad Tavern

In the
Inn the
Worlds apart
Whirled a part
As parked
A spark
Beside the stereo
B-side, the stereo
Bellows of lame warnings
Billows of flame warming
A smog-brimmed cell
As mugs' brimmed cel-
-ebration, unknowing in-
-ebriation ongoing in
This place, disjointed
Displaced, this joint, it
Hears the inferno
Here's the inn for no
Reason now aflame
