Revised sonnet #52

A mountain fellfield find to us appeals

Its screes slice savagely at sandstone slides

He estimates the gallons deluge deals

Then we invade a cave that creeper rides

Tohunga bones abandoned compost bides

He kisses red hair mine his fingers catch

The raking rain as suddenly subsides

It rills upon fern fronds fanned flat as hatch

The kamahi and mafoe sway and snatch

In path of boots and shins and boughs yield moss

As we vault past a mould and lichen patch

And splash the waterway in scum and dross

The both of us trekked wet thats nearly nude

His kit uncannily tight muscles hewed

Chorus nude bare stark

 

Revised sonnet #51

Rangi teao rere drawn to strife once rife

Renowned himself in melee martial drill

He made of noble wahine a wife

Huritini just blessed in looks to kill

His violent views invested such a chill

That she stayed scarce soul letting silence rule

He wanted war its bloody overspill

Then she drowned drawn down a steaming pool

He fluffs up red hair mine and calls it cool

And we slip slide steam stained stark basalt rocks

A tightened tummy feel I glimpsing ghoul

Or foggy furl of face it melts and mocks

I smile upon his smile and fudge a blush

The menstrual strike I feel a facial flush

Chorus blush bloos blozen

 Revised sonnet #50

Impulsively Ill blurt the dormant deed

Invade your meditative private space

The context wrong though phrases rightly read

Our lives are separate they interlace

And so a fluke it is Im granted grace

In gentle gaze yours sense I patient heed

The errors stack up grit and never seed

It dies a story set on saving face

I find it hard to quit effect and cause

I worship Saturns maw and origin

Alleged golden age of kith and kin

Thats Saturns period versus seguing pause

On all else we agree to disagree

I love to love you love to love just me

Chorus disagree counter oppose

Revised sonnet #49 

My squeeze and I trekked over foaming sand

Of Ninety Mile Beach not as long as claimed

Though beautiful and colorfully named

The Reinga ridge thinned down to ocean grand

A Maori mister toted tuatua stuck in sack

A plastic tiki hung on his thick neck

In bushy beard a salt and pepper fleck

In surfer shorts a shadowy builders crack

Two tuatua cost us seven roll your owns

They cooked in crackling curls of jetsam wood

In circle made of rounded rocks and stones

The sunset streaked our hair in hat and hood

Our dawdling feet indented zero marks

On soaking sand in flowing and ebbing arcs

Chorus mark prints scores

Revised sonnet #48

My squeeze and I assaulted rough Lion Rock 

The summit conquered from the safest side

The breeze in blusters knocked us weak and wide

Old Whakaari pa panned prize braking chock

Lion Rock joined sea and sky around its block

Our kisses witnessed none nought here to hide

The gently gliding gulls in concert cried

The grounded gannets grew to silent flock

The sunset sees us walk down steps to base

As change of guard of insect life occurs

The cricket chirps cicada chirps displace

The surf explosive over sharp edged spurs

At one oclock walked we wet arm in arm

Through low tide cave of pebbles pit of calm

Chorus arm arm arm
