    Punching the moon

    There are delving days when the ink blue sea whispers to me
    in a sexy voice, “Come over here boy, and give me a kiss.”

    “Hell no girl! I am not easy like that! Anyway, I have

    too much to do.”



    I want to get cashy and swagger with America,

    drunk with England on cool draft lager,

    dine with France on her clean white linens with shining silver,

    then turn to Italy, her eyes of tawny pools, and say,

    “You and I are going dancing with Brazil.

    We’ll splash across the Atlantic and

    samba all night!”



    Some days I feel like punching the moon out of sight,

    swatting down the stars,

    pouring the oceans down the drain,

    and switching off the sun.



    There are nights when the skies thunder with revelry and streak

    with disco lightning and the rain drinks champagne

    and mother nature, with her thousand Arabic pleasures,

    sways over to me slow thighed….



    But I’ve got to finish the laundry now – I’ve got a ton of it to do.

    The whole poem is a fun read, like this...

    "then turn to Italy, her eyes of tawny pools, and say,

    You and I are going dancing with Brazil."
    Live in the sunshine. Swim in the sea. Drink the wild air ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

    Poetically, you have nailed it, Tony.
    This poem swims with beauty and I loved it very much.
    Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty

    Nobody I know more American than you Tony Walt

    For those who believe,
    no explanation is necessary.
    For those who do not,
    none will suffice.
