Sonnet 07/06/04                        CMXVI

To see my muse removes clouds from my sky,
And fills my heart with longing. Is her glance
For my soft words, or does the reason why
She gives me smile reflect a longed-for chance?
To read words from my muse gives me a touch
Of what she thinks, and how she views this plane.
I want far more: I want to know how much
My verse might reach to soul., to hopes explain.
To hold her in arms would be to hold all
That dream might find in vision of desires.
How can I hoped for care less than love call
When she is source of dreams that hope inspires?
I worry about muse, because I fear
I cannot hold angel forever here.

Sonnet 10/06/04                        CMXVII

A kitten finds my angel, and crawls in
To warmth and comfort in her arms. How much
I envy him! To know her caring touch
Would be to dreamed-of future hope to win.
What thoughts might kitten have, as tiny claws
Respond to gentle rubs? Does he realize
Who rescued him from rain and chill, and tries
To give him home? Does he touch heart with paws?
How might I join him, and hope to receive
That touch, and smile, and look of such concern?
What must I do, to hope of caring earn?
Should I all of my dreams of muse believe?
The more I know of her, the more I see
The reasons she gives such dear dreams to me.

But you're not forgotten, my erstwhile cohorts in keeping this thread alive and well.

From Allan Sherman... the ultimate comfort foods song ( yes, I know there is a thread, but I feel like putting it here!)

Hungarian Goulash No. 5
(Parody of "Hungarian Dance No. 5" by Johannes Brahms)

If you like Hungarian food,
They have a goulash which is very good.
Or if you wish a dish that's Chinese,
Somewhere down in Column B there's lobster Cantonese.

Enchiladas, that's what people eat in Mexico.
Shish kebab is skewered, in Armenia you know.
Then there's blubber, the favorite of the frigid Eskimo.
Such delicious dishes, no matter where you go.

Chicken cacciatore is Italian.
Kangaroo souffle must be Australian.
Mutton chops are definitely British.
Chicken soup undoubtedly is Yiddish.

Pumpernickel comes from Lithuania.
Hassenpfeffer comes from Pennsylvania.
Wiener schnitzel's Austrian or German.
Kindly pass the sauerbraten, Herman.

Borscht is what they're eating in the Soviet.
Wait, I think we've got some on the stove yet.
See the Mau Maus underneath the jungle sky.
Jolly Mau Maus, eating missionary pie.

Frenchmen eat a lot of bouillabaisse there.
Dutchmen eat a sauce called Hollandaise there.
Smorgasbord in Swedish is the winner.
In America it's TV dinner.

So there you have one food from each land.
Each one delicious, each one simply grand.
Mix them all up, in one big mish mash.
And what have you got? Hungarian goulash!

Junk Food Junkie
Larry Groce
Written by Larry Groce


You know I love that organic cooking
I always ask for more
And they call me Mr. Natural
On down to the health food store
I only eat good sea salt
White sugar don't touch my lips
And my friends is always
Begging me to take them
On macrobiotic trips
Yes, they are

Oh, but at night I stake out my strongbox
That I keep under lock and key
And I take it off to my closet
Where nobody else can see
I open that door so slowly
Take a peek up north and south
Then I pull out a Hostess Twinkie
And I pop it in my mouth

Yeah, in the daytime I'm Mr. Natural
Just as healthy as I can be
But at night I'm a junk food junkie
Good lord have pity on me

Well, at lunchtime
You can always find me
At the Whole Earth Vitamin Bar
Just sucking on my plain white yogurt
From my hand thrown pottery jar
And sippin' a little hand pressed cider
With a carrot stick for dessert
And wiping my face
In a natural way
On the sleeve of my peasant shirt
Oh yeah

Ah, but when that clock strikes midnight
And I'm all by myself
I work that combination
On my secret hideaway shelf
And I pull out some Fritos corn chips
Dr. Pepper and an Ole Moon Pie
Then I sit back in glorious expectation
Of a genuine junk food high

Oh yeah, in the daytime I'm Mr. Natural
Just as healthy as I can be
But at night I'm a junk food junkie
Good lord have pity on me

My friends down at the commune
They think I'm pretty neat
Oh, I don't know nothing about arts and crafts
But I give 'em all something to eat
I'm a friend to old Euell Gibbons
And I only eat homegrown spice
I got a John Keats autographed Grecian urn
Filled up with my brown rice
Yes, I do

Oh, but folks lately I have been spotted
With a Big Mac on my breath
Stumbling into a Colonel Sanders
With a face as white as death
I'm afraid someday they'll find me
Just stretched out on my bed
With a handful of Pringles Potato Chips
And a Ding Dong by my head

In the daytime I'm Mr. Natural
Just as healthy as I can be
But at night I'm a junk food junkie
Good lord have pity on me

today's sonnet...


Sonnet 14/06/04                     CMXVIII

How can I reach to muse, to fill her night
With pleasure, and with joy? What can I give
To show how much I want to hold her tight,
And how I wish for all my dreams to live?
How can I win from muse all I desire,
To hold her in my arms, and kiss her skin?
What should I say, to tell her of the fire
That thought of her lets my emotions win?
How can I show the dreams that fill my sleep
With visions of her smile? She is the one
I want to give my soul, and let her keep
This heart, that has feelings of love begun.
She is too far to touch, but I must try:
Without dream of her kiss, my hopes would die.

Sonnet 09/07/04                      CMXXI

To rest my head on muse's lap, and see
Moonlight reflected from her eyes: I find
This dream far more than hope. But, can it be
That I will ever dreams free from just mind?
I long to give reason for smile, to win
The sight of sparkle in her caring eyes.
What might such hoped for dream hope to begin,
When all my study has not made me wise?
My muse is center of my dreams: The key
To vault of visions. Can I hope to hold
The one who holds my heart, or does my plea
Ask for more than dreams earn, to dream enfold?
I find true beauty in thought of my muse:
She is the one that my heart's desires choose

Sonnet 18/07/04                      CMXXII

I see, within my muse's eyes, the stars
To guide my dreams to heaven, and beyond,
To touch her smile. Yet, is distance what bars
My reaching out? Am I of dream too fond?
All I need is to know muse does not mind
My focus upon her, without the right
To fold her in arms, and heart try to bind:
I do not think to muse's desires fight.
I seek, in inspiration, something more
Than just reflection: I hope I will find
A truer vision, that heart might ignore
Life's loneliness, and to sorrows be blind.
No matter what might happen, know I care
For one who holds my heart, and dreams would share.

Sonnet 22/07/04                     CMXXIII

I dream, but know dream is not truly real,
That I find my heart's goal. I may desire
This beautiful muse to more than inspire,
But she is more than vision: I'll not steal
What I hope she might give. How can I feel
Other than thus? She is the one I see
When all is dark: Can I not dream to be
Within touch of her lips, to passions seal?
But I know I cannot hold her apart
From world, and reason. Dream does not give cause
To be more of a fool: I dare not seek
To offer more than dreams, and soul, and heart.
She is my muse, but all of my dreams pause,
And wait, with hope I might hear her heart speak.

Sonnet 01/08/04                                        CMXXIV

I hear my muse, though I have not heard voice
Nor gazed into those eyes: My dreams have held
To words, and thought of smile. It is not choice,
But concern keeping me away. I've spelled
Out all my longings: She need only ask,
To have more than my words. But she can be
Whatever she might want, though I'll not mask
Desire to hold her close, and her smile see.
I see her, in mind's eye, though I just dream
She holds hands out, in greeting. I would seize
All she might offer, but I cannot give
What would not bring a smile. My words might seem
Confused, but verse and dream on muse agrees:
She is the one that makes my passions live.
