Sparkle
sparkle is as sparkle does
breaking up the darkle
sparkle is as skykles glow
home to winged gulls
carnal prompts are throttles:
couples gentle lulls.
grovels are as vocal crawls
gentle, cruel mulls.
natural, simple rebels are
one boggled, hussled roll.

She Walks in Beauty
by Lord Byron
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow’d to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair’d the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

Ebenezer Scrooge, whom Dickens described as “a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner. Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire.
clutching robs the skin
of shine and glow and largesse:
generosity!

Orange
Which is the fungus from Halloween?
Which is the fun guy from Easter morn?
Which has the yolk as yellow as corn?
Which has the shape of sweet candy-corn?
Which has the sun’s glow orange and warm?
Which has the ruffles that fan out when born?
These are the riddles all orange and bright
Sunny and funny and scary a sight!
