Revised sonnet #24

And so she stands you up the date a clue

You call to double check yet all in vain

Youve gotten brush off big time nothing new

Your numbers blocked the tactics self explain

You seek success of which the price is pain

You wonder whether stalking counts as work

You gather agony transmutes to gain

You need to grow a spine as now you shirk 

Young once I was you wont to wilt then irk

I knotted noose to hasten my own end

I pondered such a soul a decent jerk

I put on cotton clothes that least offend

I roll on punches clip the jab on chin

You need a spliff or shot of Bombay gin

Chorus chin barbilla hake

Revised sonnet #23

My dear Im daunted by your etiquette

I push a safety valve its overflow

You hide your feelings deep you block and vet

I show my feelings flat I cuss and crow

You find a silver lining stuck in woe

I rate a woe as harbinger of more

You find a fault amended chance to grow

I rate a fault as sign of rotten core

Your hesitation hangs you half a bore

My spontaneity mounts me much a wreck

To everyone else were a constant chore

You yoke your yielding arms around my neck

If back to back if front to front two one

Unpopular and linked to nearly none

Chorus one een une

Revised sonnet #25

When Cupid picked up Psyche full of groans

And over orange trees those tight two flew

Annoyed at him and not the broken bones

Of nosiness her anger greatly grew

Next Cupid carried her far from folks view

The broken ankles put in plaster cast

To soporific remedies the skew

And Psyche cried in silence mind in past

The candle burns on him if less than blast

Off clumsy her diminished lovely looks

Apollo promised her a monster vast

On either side cool calculating crooks

If Zeus turned her to goddess loving zest

Then Cupid married more than second best

Chorus zest gusto relish

Revised sonnet #20

If glad or critical your eyes just cry

If high or humorous your hollers hush

If wise or ignorant your smiles sign shy

If mad or mesmerised your cheeks take blush

If hurt or bellicose your locks look lush

If late or energised your gait is brisk

If slim or corpulent your frocks fit flush

If free or ratified your bets ooze risk

If kind or paranoid your fingers frisk

If naive or arrogant your questions nip

If wild or whimsical your gestures whisk

If pure or polarized your numbers dip

To spirituality Ill swear the oath

If it is it Im baffled by your growth

Chorus oath pledge vow

This is a bingo laugh track for interactive comedy. Get a line and the Punters' Union sends you a pay cheque.

Revised sonnet #22

You say to me the words I want to hear

You echo what I say above and beyond

You bulk it up to notes that engineer

Or boil it down to points that correspond

You fit on me the mode of which Im fond

You mirror what I do at heavens hurled

You work it down to depths of demimonde

Or winch it up to links of underworld

I like to heap your hair if waved if curled

I like to lightly stroke your solid hips

I like to pitch your parasol if furled

I like to paint a pink along your lips

True were alike I weigh you little less

Youre bubbly fun apart you effervesce

Chorus less reduced skimpier

Revised sonnet #21

She slurps some ouzo out of crystal glass

Then ice cubes clinks on strike of swizzle stick

The captain shows in Greek a brassy sass

In orders called to crew those followed quick

She senses instantly that they two click

Theyre down to their togs due to summer heat

Then wonders what it would taste like to lick

Tattoo of turtle over his tight seat

The shallow waters serve as honest cheat

Their snorkel dive eschews the reap of sponge

Its pilots log unopened plonked quite neat

The sunken aeroplane is met on plunge

The petty problems since she slinked off home

A captivating captain wreck theyd comb

Chorus home dwelling residence

Revised sonnet #19

The arguments initiate mutual hurt

Id rather sulk unheard than force a fact

The silence leads you onto high alert

Id rather feign the double cataract

Quite unalike thats opposites exact

You stand your ground and see I shy away

You set in stone and learn I ply a pact

You rule a roost and hear I but obey

You double down and know I often sway

You spend in spree and bet I save in bank

You know it all and sense I muse astray

You favour file and get I rise in rank

Twixt them the tolerance that matters most

If mans a virus woman has to host

Chorus most greatest principally

Revised sonnet #18

Closed circuit cameras are closely eyed

A juvenile delinquent chooses crime

The tester perfume spray on wrist applied

Its ambergris and bermagot in mime

As balm of Gildead from equator clime

Ends dropped in cleavage business is brisk

You only pilfer product peers view prime

Then more inside your skirt you flick and whisk

A shame in law Im not allowed to frisk

The lack of conscience makes me mad till blush

I wonder why you would take low yield risk

Ill catch you next time total tracking hush

Youre not that marvellous you melt in crowd

If caught in it Id guess youll cuss aloud

Chorus crowd horde throng

Revised sonnet #17

You criticize your husbands every move

Theres nothing left that he enlists as right

The fragile chauvinism a fact you prove

You stand your ground you guarantee one fight

Your status lower than his the social plight

Your weekly salary the stingier sum

Of feisty feminism youre an acolyte

Youre last to know the nanny has it rum

The nannys gestures meek and easygoing

Elusive prize appear to him in stress

Ive seen them pashing any stage of dress

You live a lie on brink of never knowing

A caring soul if shes in birth third world

The dab at spooning him on sofa curled

Chorus world globe sphere

Revised sonnet #16

You sly shortsellers who adore the plunge

In shares your profits paying off money owed

You squeeze till penny stock you dry your sponge

Your faith in failure silver lining lode

Yet female beauty boosts in lovers ode

An everlasting emphasis on health

And gifts that certified cash cant corrode

Ill list the certainties of cyber wealth

The amethyst eyes bringing blue to light

The pearl teeth signaling a subtle smile

The ruby lips of pout in blossom bright

The copper hair heaped high in coil and pile

Our currencies are calories and watts

Through motor mounted neural nano bots

Chorus watts watts watts

Revised sonnet #15

A stranded soul I queasily enquire

Cocquettes concerned in clique of peer to peer

To catalogue and catwalk will aspire

Is any modest underneath veneer?

You say youre not a psychic soul or seer

You havent seen a frozen pose and pout

A clever cut of clothes yes nothing queer

The code of decency they couldnt flout

A gambling man I am Im linked to luck

To quirky coincidence I look to muse

Upon expedient deeds in name of ruse

I frown I wince at ways to pass the buck

Ill meet the babe the way its ever meant

In circumstance of dozy accident

Chorus meant deemed ordained

Revised sonnet #14

I swipe a strand upon your crinkling nose

In waking dream I see our stars align

Youre mine alone I sigh in sleep repose

I please you after none else do I pine

Your fingers samba length of my arched spine

Your curls above the pillowcase emerge

Your blurred eyes next initiate blurred eyes mine

Inside soft satin sheets I sense an urge

I feel Ive eaten pounds of candy floss

Ill go aloof a little bit this week

Enough to puzzle not enough to pique

Youd have to read my mind made up at loss

Ill roll away thats nothing nice teeth gnash

And draw the pash to stymie sugar crash

Chorus gnash rasp scrape

Revised sonnet #12

Old friend I nod those faults you find in her

Youd never utter words as nasty liar 

Yet height of faults in her is where you err

As shes annoying in nuance and nothing dire

Of state of feeling shell too quick enquire

The steady gaze of hers is sort of rude

One gesture made to manners shell admire

The cut of cloth thats hers embodies crude

And what you see in her is nothing new

As shes owned up to faults in wit aware

Of kooky farce its creaky custom snare

Of habit overhaul years overdue

And shes aware of stuff that widely riles

Aside self centre she admires your smiles

Chorus riles angers infuriates

Revised sonnet #10

Across that crowd I look eyes mine inquire

The beautiful young face I feel is fazed

I wonder what proposed provokes to ire

In din of chat and music sense erased

A moment earlier when our gazes grazed

I had a hunch that her Id hug and squire

I sipped at brandy glass and longer lazed

I felt the liquor light in lungs its fire

As her young face affords a fleeting smile

I burn to touch those tresses long and lank

Id like to do it not a party prank

Im paralysed yet passionate the while

I was then startled from a fugue I dwelt

She sashayed over sexy strong and svelte

Chorus dwelt lodged resided

Revised sonnet #11

Inside that rusted grate

I faced a cherubs plight

They fried the crumbs I ate

To clip me small and slight

In yoke I dream of flight

Then Cerberus odd glower

His growls adorn the night

In cupboard bunk I cower

Head binders wield all power

It squeezes out relief

Ill bide a golden shower 

Their bottom growth the brief

Theyll clip in weighted wings

An older cherub brings

Chorus wings fins pinions

Revised sonnet #9

The finer fingers hers to hold invite

The fatter fingers mine in hers expand

The veins are violet next to knuckles white

They link like loops of skinny rubber band

Once her eyes moisten soft they understand

I sometimes struggle much and see self sook

Ill minimise a friend the fight at hand

In backtrack feeble fresh opponents brook

Yet she insists Im loyal alone on hook

And she agrees to mosey by abyss

And she exerts a sympathetic look

And she imparts a captivating kiss

I thought that true love excluded pain

A wary man I was way wrong again

Chorus pain ache twinge

Revised sonnet #7

I smile as shes cute

And wears a wimple

I listen lulled mute

Her singsong simple

Her balanced brow knits

At overdone clap

A new idea flits

I turn to toe tap

From excellent eyes

I wouldnt dare part

Her eloquent art

Oppresses raw sighs

Her words are airy

Her passions vary

Chorus airy breezy draughty

Revised sonnet #8

I found the jellyfish across the beach

As dead as dodos after hurricane

Immortal otherwise inside your reach

To polyps never shall they shrink again

Above tide mark in sun scorched sandy leach

I further found anemones thus slain

I touched those toxic tendrils dried out each

A nod to metal chicken weather vane

You seem a painted statue retro grand

You suffer skin tags often stay in sick

Id clone you body parts except those ick

I love you lots and lots you understand

Across the dead dry driftwood will I cut

Your name you validate a daily rut

Chorus cut nick slice

Revised sonnet #4

A dreary dolour dolled up gush of glee

A nuanced esteem on criminal mislaid

A negative alliance when granted lee

A legal loophole slavishly obeyed

A bullys victim broken forced to flee

A slip through crack and into darkest shade

A natural end based on pent up pee

A rubberneck of accident and aid

A never was in wastrel humblebrag

A leaking pipe to bucket echoed plop

A public park that pongs of bovine dag

A virtue signalled by the stingiest sop

The world is full of silly stuff I fear

I moan its ruin as others oddly swear

Chorus fear cringe dread

Revised sonnet #2

Old pal own up to dirty deeds youve done

Blackberries prick and river deltas silt

The game of lost and found is never fun

Id rather not affect the judge and jilt

Ive known you ages flatting on or off

You covet all the clothes in which I dress

I cast you hint the artificial cough

I wouldnt want a copycat excess

Your life I view as fun and beautiful

Though different if gauged against that mine

In other zones I find you dutiful

You like your cooking chores to soups incline

The borrowed blouses creased and full of lint

Affordable are when youre scarcely skint

Chorus lint fluff pile

Revised sonnet #3

The plight of gorgeous people who arrest

The public eye is leisurely decline

From drop dead doll to pretty cute at best

In sugared vase of water flowers fare fine

Youre such a person from that chichi class

Your potty patter people overgloss

It drags you down to general morass

I reckon rude or start of hearing loss

And since you havent spawned a single heir

Your great inheritance is up for grabs

Your nihilism if naughty does endear

You reccommend a novel cure for crabs

Yet theres that threat too terminal disease

Yes look at parenthood it wont displease

Chorus disease illness malaise

Revised sonnet #6

In rendezvous park

Lank platinum hairs

Against old root bark

The voyeur in me rears

Her puzzling eyes spark

Her phlegmy throat clears

Her cleavage tilt squares

Her studious brows arc

On terms her thoughts weigh

A pout and lip bite

A flick of page right

Then butterfly stray

A fool I was late

I found her prostrate

Chorus late overdue tardy

Revised sonnet #5

A trap to tresses

Of filigree gold

The hair net presses

Her braids her strands hold

Mens looks her way rolled

In yellow waves trawl

If mesmerised bold

Theirs lobster like crawl

Delinquent eyes mine

Again adore her

I sigh while supine

Entrapped as it were

If adulated

Shes calculated

Chorus adulated toasted worshipped

Revised sonnet #1

As winter sun her wall eyes worrisome

A mako shark concedes that chiselled chin

If cellulite engulfs her baggy bum

A muted mustache plays above her grin

Delicious ruddy apples row on row

Yet less her rosacea cheek filigree

Delirious grassy gas just after mow

Yet less her breath of spliff and slur of scree

Ive valued most her smirk and guffaw since

No better foil to my own gifts Ive found

Dont mention catwalk models how they mince

My muse must waddle earthy quake the ground

That missus mine no beauty bias to freak

In biddies boobs Ive merely sticky beak

Chorus freak oddball peculiarity

excerpt from Venus After Mars

Act 1 Scene 1

Eastern turbined tower

A pinch of pixie dust no minor thing

To sneeze at winter coming up next month

Ill sniff a decent dose of pepper too

Immunity to strength is stirred by shock

A shock in small diverts calamity

It cancels dogs of war at city gates

And pixie sawdust peacetime solid makes

The swirl of dreams the liquids into cakes

The pixies forest folk are magical

As early warning system our best pals

I wasted war dog eyes and nostrils once

In brutal war with pixie pepper puffs

They growled and leapt on me to maul to death

I puffed them on their backs and how they whined

As if invoking tummy tickle time

Instead I tickled their eyes and snouts

The pepper turning foam which set like glue

Id have done same Ive worthier battle scars

Dying like a dog is but a canine thing-

Revised sonnet #1243

You shouldnt biff good money after bad
You didnt smell at first that something stank
I said as much that hes a clever cad
The legal fees enough to break your bank
The boiler room an office dark and dank
You backed the fund of his upcoming fad
You packed the multistorey urban pad
You winced the while your solid balance sank
Youve let emotions cloud your state of mind
Youre standing stockstill on your own two feet
Youll wonder how the latest stars aligned
I know that karma will accost your cheat
I fear the fall out from your maudlin mum
Time testy like this well act deftly dumb
Chorus mum ma mom

Revised sonnet #1244

I felt alone at last then down in dumps
She sashayed over launched a sassy smile
I got a gentle vibe its female guile
I hadnt hustled off of other chumps
I rolled a gaze across adjacent rumps
I moved the variations to mental file
A beer and pretzels staved off building bile
I nodded heaped hair hers her dress and pumps
I shouted her a double whiskey drink
Ice cubes included on a coaster set
The social intercourse a brilliant bet
To greater days ahead the glasses clink
Third person problems every bit inane
I heard out her tale analysed the pain
Chorus inane absurd silly

Revised sonnet #1245

If start of spring the buds endure a gloom

Through woven woodwork lozenges they peep

Above the bay rain clouds concur and loom

I stir a cup of coffee calm I keep

The changing clouds look like lost goats or sheep

Above the harbour harbingers of doom

They blend till lightning torch till thunder boom

Rain drops roll into colonnade they seep

I puff at steam to cool the coffee cup

Youve brought to me my modest little girl

You look lots like your mum you still unfurl

I know youll blossom out and balance up

The green volcano greener nil amiss

Your mum on balcony then blows us kiss

Chorus amiss off wrong

Revised sonnet #1246

Youre right to rail I did what was way wrong
I had to satisfy such selfish needs
Yes very few of my inveigling deeds
Are free of favour sought I slink along
Ill back your drama when you taunt the throng
As queasy opportunity it reads
The loyalty shown to hugs and kisses leads
Id loll in lynch to save you from a pong
Theres nothing which I wouldnt gloss or fake
To stay inside your captivating eyes
Your singsong sayso per se picked the prize
I wonder what else would work wide awake
I kept your place in undulating queue
You chance took other brighter chores to do
Chorus queue file line

Revised sonnet #1247

The womans weathered cruellest run of luck
A mop of red and single silver hair
A bosom bulge of bit uneven pair
A beauty spot thats permanently stuck
A dental arch too full top two teeth buck
A body odour enemy to air
A spectacle enhanced unblinking stare
A monobrow that cops one constant pluck
The womans weathered cruellest run of health
The skin tags harmless harbingers to more
The skating scar a white as white eye sore
The athletes foot invasion struck in stealth
Ive not a name on wiser womens lists
Account of salty language strokes and cysts
Chorus lists indexes tallies

Revised sonnet #1248

The sculptor poured thick paste upon a splint
And fattened under fingers body part
To lifelike leaned the statue bar eye glint
The female corpse in question lacked a heart
A cemetery statue what I wanted mint
I wished to help his hands to create the art
Inhume her heme in everlasting flint
The reaggregated polymer our start
A setting heat and pressure were applied
Of death I had a monumental proof
As people postulated her aloof
The vampire bandage bagged in statue dried
A veil of flint is her immortal meme
A suit of armour mine stops sunshine stream
Chorus meme concept idea

Revised sonnet #1249

Ive sailed two storms in face of foolish fears
Ive weathered whip and surge of waves at worst
The bilge odd ballast ankles mine immersed
As every island fateful first appears
Id like to build a pontoon bridge that rears
A foot above the waves unweather cursed
Twixt isle and land theyre native bush imbursed
A dream it is I hide away from hecklers ears
Sit seaside ruins of Westfield freezing works
There ghosts of natural and gory death
The breeze abbreviates undulating breath
I bob the boat away two rudder jerks
Amongst the mangrove snorkel roots they swim
The snapper which I spear in sport on whim
Chorus swim simma swem
