Revised sonnet #1281

So she stares glumly glance I gilt in guilt
As even dormant pupils plant appeal
The feint eye bags and circles dark done deal
Im overjoyed that shes too tired to jilt
If dewy eyed shes on brink of sad tears spilt
Those batting lashes stall slick qualms conceal
At least I can say shes someone real
In grief absolved in pity built and built
The grooming gothic cool in blackest best
A pillbox bow brimmed hat and cocktail dress
A peekaboo veil signal self obsessed
I love this flawless femme fatale no less
I sense her sun shy skin smooth specially
I hold my breath mind awed especially
Chorus specially particularly uniquely

Revised sonnet #1282

The moment here to give up dashing men
To drain emotions off and dig around
To clinically filter plumb and sound
To peel off antibodies pathogen
If only simple telltale tag or wen
Afforded clue to heart yes none Ive found
Id purge the urge to merge its pubic mound
Their beautiful eyes speak of yin yang yen
I shouldnt overlook a wuss or sook
The bad is mine Ill mosey up to nark
To quirky chemistry of gluon and quark
A friend of friend a captivating crook
To superficial chitchat self conceit
The brain jerks back to its eye candy fleet
Chorus conceit regard exaltation

Revised sonnet #1283

Giver first is surely some soul sworn saint
Surface scratched thats me Im self revealing
Karma might hint otherwise a wheeling
Varnish might matte murk upon pure pink paint
Ladylike in manners folk conclude quaint
Last to learn youll shiver double dealing
Otherwise youd come across concealing
Virtue signaling you do escapes taint
Mustnt cringe in caper mug as spendthrift
When Ive done you first a little favour
When Ive dealt you first a little lilt lift
Loved ones smiles upon receipt Ill savour
Mustnt worry when youre self same since old
When you lend at length reciprocate tolled
Chorus old past yore

Revised sonnet #1284

Just time to time I teeter thoughts at loss
I crave adrenalin its surly surge
I want to prove Im born to be the boss
Theres more to me than comic carnal urge
I mostly measure words I overgloss
The strong opinions die or darent emerge
Youre critical Id rather never cross
I feel your endless smoulder from the verge
Id like to live the superficial life
Accept you fate forfeit the luck to fore
Your idiosyncrasy the keeping score
Id like to laugh at human folly rife
You wont acknowledge casual compliment
It swells your head though early evident
Chorus compliment accolade plaudit

Revised sonnet #1285

If were odd we yet make a brilliant match
Theres complement alliance and overlap
Though critics sometimes say its perfect crap
And champion compromise those born in batch
Yet others say she strikes as cutest catch
They wait in wings they want to plug a gap
Theyve weighed the words I utter worthy slap
Await apology too late to patch
Apologise I shall in phoniness
I rate a clever kiss above its girl
Im motivated by just loneliness
As even pleasure pans exotic pearl
And so Ill put to pity my ordeal
As loneliness once she too swore quite real
Chorus ordeal suffering tribulation

Revised sonnet #1286

I partnered Cupid up the mountain peak
To pools of steaming water engineered
There paddled nymphs au naturel I leered
I worried whether nude Id fathom freak
I judged their folk tale framed in proto Greek
To civil disobedience values veered
The hero Lunar warrior Wax they cheered
The Lunars long established now unique
Then Cupid pricked us dope to heighten haze
Embrace of nymph enjoyed I kicks and bobs
The honey hair concealed curvaceous knobs
Their pointed ears implied their alien ways
The words of war the Earth against the moon
Explained in full the cuneiform and rune
Chorus moon maan masina

(I left out Atlantis in revision because the sonnet refers to an even earlier civilization.
At global

Is building
The etymology suggests a global sewage recycling site.)
