20171228 poem for New Year's Eve Masque

I'm at a loss as to what to compose for NYE.

I'm invited to an "Unmasque" - and invitees are encouraged to write a poem about what they will "unmask for 2018).

Ode to Ken

To Ken

A token of resolve
for the new year
To live
Even more than before
In the moment.

Last year
Drank beer
Big cheer
High gear
Next year
Still queer.


THE GAY LONE RANGER

OK, the GAY part, I buy.
But LONE??
<snort>
What do you think Tonto and I
Were doing
Between shoots,
Out on the range,
Late at night.
<chuckle>
Ahhhh, those starry nights!
Kemosabe.......

We rode backward in the saddle,
A little sore,
But what a sight
for queer eyes.

The Northern Lights
Have seen queer sights,
but the queerest they ever did see
Was the star=lit night


We were a queer sight, some folks say


Here's what I wish for you   for me for 2018 for our country for friends:

2017 2018 odd times, odd years.

I wish you likes and maybe even love

Live in the moment, don't look back and don't look forward
