Revised sonnet #32

That Cupid cued the arrow could I guess

Its burning head had hit and pierced the chest

Id woken screaming under deep duress

Id heard how he assaulted played the pest

Then into lake I leapt that waters quell

The fire I suffered far inside the ribs

I sensed the ruptured skin turn cool and well

The scars that formed I feared as large as squibs

I surfaced soon and broke the arrow off

The buried barb then served the lungs as plug

I drained in reputation rather smug

I spat out water while in midst of cough

Aswim I wished Id gotten wounded worse

And melted down to dolphin cuter curse

Chorus worse erger pire

Revised sonnet #31

A mass of curly hair upon young Kate

Yet facial symmetries a beauty state

You catch the sudden smiles that elevate

Yes she is after all your ardent mate

You know the funny mix of luck and fate

You deem your pals in need of double date

Your list of ladies isnt long or great

You ask your Kate to solve the singles strait

The girl is modest down to mincing gait

The girl is nearly nineteen no jail bait

The girl is buxom brink of overweight

The girl is social sort to cooperate

You pride yourself its proof youll delegate

Upon the double date youll celebrate

Chorus delegate commission entrust

Revised sonnet #13

The sheltered smoke of roman frankincense

Turned ash I smeared upon myself till paste

I posed upon the balcony at vents

The rain erased the muck as water waste

I dried and dressed in scythian hemp in haste

I puffed on lumberjack true pixie dust

You were the next to shower and came off chaste

The rain if cool and clear occluded lust

The baffled balustrade inhales a gust

I look across concrete canals to west

There barges bob and glide and locks adjust

Our castle water reservoirs invest

The balcony is niche to pots of lant

Atlantean then the world wide water plant

Chorus lant lant lant

Revised sonnet #30

Ten big blue biro blips across the map

Of use to us itinerary nodes

You squirmed the dig of shoulder strap

I valued little known old rustic roads

A priest at steering wheel went where we went

The bikes then we eased flat on black truck deck

The cozido thats broiled in crater vent

Of which youd heard he had at call and beck

At Tlimmoh Nodjeim Island got his game

His fingers freely waddled up your leg

As fancied puffins what a powder keg

The lofty monastery rather lame

I paid him off in copper coins in sort

And we took off on bikes of no import

Chorus sort kind type

Revised sonnet #29

Yes Julies husbands bumbling brings a grope

In deficit of harm you keep it hush

In benefit of doubt you blank to cope

In company theirs next you cringe and blush

Yes Julies walls away on sofa plush

As he assaults inside your moment weak

You caught in corridor alone and flush

Against the wall youre bustled by the sneak

This tortuous episode you feel youll freak

You lever him away yank blouse and skirt

You writhe it rough you know youre not unique

If Julies last to know youre hardly hurt

That pampered individual versed in guile

Yes Julies husbands bumbling brings up bile

Chorus guile artifice slyness

Revised sonnet #28

She sleeps serene in coma void of guile

Ive got an office lover little vain

Its dozy dalliance done around the dial

Till things turn true to normal once again

I must admit in past Id been a pain

Id shoot her down in sneers Id undermine

The jaws of life beneath the tow truck crane

Had cut her from the car crash cut it fine

I wondered was it otherworldly sign

Id wished a crash upon her meddling mum

The meme induced a shiver down the spine

Evoked a vibe that made me more than glum

Shes so subservient what youd want in life

I waiver just estranged in range of wife

Chorus life lewe liv

Revised sonnet #27

Manslaughter sort of how he hacked his end

His face angelic neither sweet or sour

He was in fact a loyal ebullient friend

Wed done the deed unhinged in public bower

We hugged the priest in sudden hail and shower

Mist cloaked us next in grey much like a gauze

On straps the coffin lowered I flung one flower

We studied sombrely effect and cause

The episode to end abruptly draws

Old friends they were at first the sort ideal

To thoughts that he expressed I gave applause

The fling in circumstance I can conceal

I wont whitewash woe neither will I sulk

The black tar vulgar was free from fake bulk

Chorus sulk brood grouse

Revised sonnet #26

Ill suffer since Im smug nod null known cure

Ill slouch upon a sofa suck in stalest air

Ill wear a wife whos warm and pretty pure

And blonde as banister upon the stair

I mustnt bitch as life is more than fair

I live off notes and bonds via interest

At conferences pass as folding chair

I parrot corny jokes to join in jest

Of harmony at home I keep abreast

The wife in cloaking drape and carpet reds

In paint of sunset scenes she sees ooze west

The lipstick shawl skirt socks and shoes embeds

A set of furniture in open sight

A couple camouflaged at bourgeois height

Chorus sight look view
