Revised sonnet #60

Baron Octopus in blush adopts green

Where green wall of coral camouflage acts

Billows cloud of ink then exits black scene

Eel invader robbed of visible tracts

Princess Prawn transparently treks tiptoe

Wears a fearful phony eye on her arse

Cannibals if curious lately lie low

Till tide turn if usual prawn prey prove sparse

Cropper Hermit Crab inhabits conch shell

Wishes conches coolest natural end

Hermit crabs if happy on death dont dwell

Pincher over pincer hierarchies rend

Hes so fun and far from fuddyduddy

He allows aquariums clear or muddy

Chorus fuddyduddy traditionalist square

Revised sonnet #59

We take diving masks off our own faces

Down Poor Knights tightest tunnels

We tread water wary zero paces

We tie put the boat in widest funnels

Next he wipes away the salty runnels

From jaw mine and we exchange embraces

Next he kisses me at bobbing gunnels

Pothole mazes are the strangest spaces

Moray eel ambushes cockabully

Shoal of yellow parrotfish takes plunges

Down amongst the red and orange sponges

We view fishes fascinating fully

My man muses much on sea things they thrive

Sun touched by torch lit I nod too no jive

Chorus thrive flourish prosper

Revised sonnet #58

My darling loves to clutch my fine red hair

I did tell him Id dreamt myself a blonde

Our plan out bush to biff all worldly care

Our kisses private cordoned by a frond

Our hollow where unhappy cats abscond

The Urewera treetop tuis are heard

To lone trills past a sunrise chorus bond

The kakas cackle criticism concurred

The holy winds Tawhirimatea incites

A sickly soul revives on verge of death 

The malady identified in breath

The crisp air he inhales off icy heights

The crazy diets Id do Id grow and shrink

The hair and nails Id shed a nod to skink

Chorus shrink dwindle wane

Revised sonnet #57

My hair heavy hangs so sea spray laden

We view past the promontory narrow

Mapped out myth the maiden next to maiden

Peaks that play third suitor halve to harrow

Mute volcanoes lava like a marrow

Suitors play theyre stuck on maiden mountain

Inching barrow past the others barrow

Skipping suicide show as fiery fountain

She tossed him a wad of mint unmarked cash

She asked him to shoo away the daughters

Wild teens hers and drawn to manly moustache

Nothing stronger served than bottled waters

Every second souls a boy theyre on tap

Bar tsunami strike or lightning ball zap

Chorus tap faucet valve

Revised sonnet #56

My squeeze and I talked tortuous teenage pain

My baffling bosom size its gain and loss

My blotch of skin and spots and bulge of vein

My period cramps unflinched a carried cross

His random randiness an awkward strain

His brain to consciousness a slave or boss

His clumsy arms and legs the growth quick gain

My squeeze expressed in phrases free of floss

A crafty crab on sand trap crimps its lip

The flax affords my bare calves crisscross cuts

My shins press pimpernel to sway and dip

While we weave way around the sedge tramp ruts

The shifting bars of sand their banking beach

He reckons build and blunt the breakers reach

Chorus beach coast strand

Revised sonnet #55

Te Auroa whistled high to hoist the mood

The pool reflected back to her her face

The tohitohi surfaced silver hued

A dragonfly asserted silent grace

Though chosen by excitable elite

The brains and beauty led to lonely snare

That demigoddess gifted head to feet

Then worried over girls of lesser ware

Id value him a sweet and simple soul

If low on luck that makes us deuce and deuce

A chance at happiness our common goal

A mythical trope might yet be of use

An inkling him the milk and me the cream

That octopus escapes in cloud of dream

Chorus cream crema creme

Revised sonnet #54

At Whites Beach wind bends coprosoma strands

The toitoi hold their ground on close exam

The clay track twists till sand there self disbands

Against the bluff the constant breakers slam

Hes fond of fabled felon laugh on lam

George Wilder caper clifftop altitude

In vacant cottage civil giving damn

The note he leaves in large oozed gratitude

The shags and gannets fish in foaming swells

They wriggle kahawai out from the clinging kelp

I board the basking shark and give a yelp

He ushers me off it eyes worried wells

He praises red hair mine I rise in mood

Then praise him back on baby blue eyes viewed

Chorus mood aura feel

 

Revised sonnet #53

Pohutakawa encountered looks to flee

The twisted roots exhibited tale tell

Theyre knuckle white at low tide ebbing sea

Around the rocks and stones they cup they dwell

Two kingfishers their foil a solstice frost

Abandon brilliant stonk of cloud of gnats

The flighty crowd of sandhoppers accost

They fear in landing pounce of feral cats

He guesses wrinkling waves an ozone drug

To mermaid might you melt immersed enough

Accepting kiss I so accept the cryptid stuff

As apes aquatic blubber bound we hug

He says that loves a mundane cause yet sweet

He bides the braids of hair I do till neat

Chorus sweet nice pleasant

Tower object taller than it is wide

Tower of babel a tower of words or alphabet blocks

At place

Lant stale urine

Is building

Atlantis place of the stale urine building

Lanted gentry collectors of stale urine

the natural detergent on deforested lant

You couldnt see the lant for the trees
