Each of them has grown
in editing their rondeaux
making them their own
Their images are aglow
Judging will be hard, you know

Judging will be hard
with their Rondeaux of the Fall
but the real reward
is they all answered the call
and through them, we had a ball.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

We threw them the ball
and with rondeaux they threw back
expressing the fall
I think we've gotten the knack
for giving them good feedback

Feedback’s good for them
when the rhymes and metrics err
but chances are slim
if gaffes are left where they were.
Perfection’s spoon needs to stir.

For your lips giving
a taste of friendship and love
you’ve kept me living
as if I’m blessed from above
though your soul flew like a dove

Explore nurse’s feet
like podiatrists might do
when shifts are complete.
Fashion is never their cue;
they wear a sensible shoe.

All medications
have many a side effect
so expectations
foreshadow what we expect
from drug company’s neglect

If balance matters,
eyes, ears and limbs must be used
or else one splatters.
Pratfalls may keep some amused
but you could need some bones fused

refuse bone-break falls
is therapist's main advice
in healing process
I can hear her words ringing,
just don't fall; simply don't fall!

A simple bone-break
is a misnomer at best.
for what is at stake
in my advanced age would test
the patience with which I’m blessed.

lest they be found drugged
out of the room unconscious
from over-exercising

Over exercise
and you will tear down muscle
in your arms and thighs
but folks without some hustle
appear to wear a bustle.

hustling your bustle
quickly emphasizes rear
but slowing it down
could well keep your waist abreast
with the rest of your body

Resting your body
after some exercising
may cause some hottie
to think she’ll be surprising
someone who’s compromising

The mores they keep
should be considered a sin.
Sow and they will reap
shared rewards and we’ll begin
to improve the world we’re in.
