VIG -SHOWDOWN

The hand
ticks toward noon,
main street quiets,
a voice call out -
make my day

VIGNETTE-ON THE BEACH

Prone,lying side by side
Lapped by an ebbing tide,
Together upon passion's ride-
In love's embrace enlocked
This watershed,no longer shocks.

Vignette-THE RED PRIEST

A genius,of prolific reportoire
Came to fame with an orphan choir,
Lionized then abandoned to the past-
Now his violins play breathtakingly fast
In seasonal works ,written to last

A PERTHSHIRE LAD

Grew to manhood on the river Tay,
Writing poems ,most every day;
Cinquains,epigrams,whigmaleerie-
His diary of a dying man,left
Telling observations for all to see.

ALL OF A ZITHER

Across Vienna's old town
In a sewer underground,
They tracked down..Harry Lime,
A Third Man in a crime-
To music so sublime.
