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

an old pixie lumber jack proverb or see saw sayso 🎲🎲🎲

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

Revised sonnet #47

Your jewellery is gorgeous glass of paste

Ive clicked upon your nape its nickel clasp

The rhinoplasty no expensive waste

You made your beauty better still I grasp

Your voice I value when it offers rasp

On serious subjects far off feckless haste

Your eloquence a quirk at which I gasp

You come off charming clinically chaste

Your sister granted more of natures gifts

The envied center piece of sibling rivalry

I fear in her the flaw of ribaldry

A muddled break of balls it never lifts

You make the most of what youve got a lot

Youre not the dregs if damaged by a dot

Chorus lot mass pile

 Revised sonnet #46

Tall baby giant on hoarding fifteen feet 

Yet giants arent feared they dont in fact exist

If so big baby human granted gist

Its but a photo blown up know theyre neat

In war the humans won the giants they beat

On silver screen a propaganda mist

The human faces giant revisionist

The massive movie star an honest cheat

The giants and humans not the types to trust

To pixies who turn dreams real dunk in dust

Of saw the cream that stands against a gust

In waffle cone then build a loaf in crust

Transhuman we are we that ever were

Ours pixie dust a saw of see they blur

Chorus were vas was

Revised sonnet #45

You loomed like lovers previous nothing new

Your manners matched you seemed to imitate

You loitered looking lost milled mall milieu

Your lack of purpose plain youd intimate

You mutter mind Ill never drone adieu

Your friends and mine each other infiltrate

I can expect your championship your skew

Ill watch your back a bondage indicate

I showed you how to dodge an ex you spot

I grew a bushy beard and dipped a brim

Embarrassing encounter gauged as grim

The camouflage to cover stomach knot

You favoured me to the tee stirred unique

You grew a floppy fringe and dipped a peak

Chorus unique only singular

 

Revised sonnet #44

You dont trust me you slink as if a sleuth

Ill stop sugaring the stems of flowers

In vases since youre lately quite uncouth

I guess your inner infant looks and lours

A bloom escapes your cheeks in passing hours

I had the luck to catch your earliest kiss

Upset I stand the memory now sours

You trek through time obliterate its bliss

I wondered what you were as little girl

I wouldve liked to splice us half and half

Amend your infant portrait photograph

Appear your pal one magic finger swirl

Your eyes avail the little girl I see

Tears well your spark in water memory

Chorus see behave view

Revised sonnet #43

Stephanie de Millay I hostess am

To Isabella bride and Humphrey groom

The catapults of Saracens shots slam

Against a castles hallowed hall or room

Sir Reynard dawdles down the colonnade

And sips the serum from a silver cup

The union mine and his in heaven made

The minstrels melody is now jacked up

Knights ransom worth of madfuna and ale

Appeased that seiging sultan Saladin

To create a session neither lose or win

The wedding went ahead at smaller scale

The turreted tower south east cordoned clear

A site to wed in war if free of fear

Chorus clear distinct free

Revised sonnet #41

A stretch yet flat and fine as foil of gold

Are we as mortgagees of mammons mint

It wasnt long ago when we were skint

A spell on streets in winter left us cold

I jerked the juggling rings aside on hold

You borrowed from a random ancient bint

I sold the car to wreckers heeding hint

You flicked the magic cards aside a fold

A little flat thats baby coffins squared

In realtor jargon perched on bottom rung

Of ladder clambered quickly never sprung

The corner kitchenette unlit yet aired

In harmony two live as well as one

As priceless we view rise or set of sun

Chorus one en une
