for PATTAYA TRADER 234 (D)

THE-ARTHURIAN-ROMANCE
It was by Carlton Towers
and the huge fishpond
with its waterlily-flowers -
as white as the wild swans -
a pen-sword I would spy
in my budding poet's eye.

RED-RUBY
"Ruby's a strawberry-blonde."
"A cherry-blonde," another said.
But you were to obscond
with the name "Ruby red."

Men did not own you.
They thought you their possession.
Rebel, girl, you had to.
Dodgy was their obsession.

"Ruby's a strawberry-blonde."
"A cherry-blonde," another said.
But you were to obscond
with the name "Ruby Red."

MEDIUM
The spirit of wisdom
is without duress,
it has learnt the lessons
of excess.

RED-AND-GOLD
On Red materialism
I am not sold,
as they'd sell out
for fairy gold !

A-TESTING-TIME-TO-ALL
Are you the fox?
Are you the hound?
Are you insecure?
Are you feeling sound?
Here on this earth
you're in the test-ground.

Are you up on high?
Are you low down?
What is going around
will come back around.
Here on this globe
you're in the test-ground.

IT'S-GREEN-TRUTH-TESTS-
THE-YOUNG-GAWAIN?
The Green Knight,
giant of a man,
under the spell
of witch-fairy Morgan?
He Merlin in disguise,
or the god Bran?
As green as nature,
as green as truth,
the woods wild-man
tests Gawain the youth?
