WILD TIMES

(crossword puzzle: 11-05-08)

not far from the suds on the Arno
where the dry land is grand
wild times burn hot
nomads trickle across Keanu’s river
in search of the blue herb

above Swan Lake the eagle is steel
watchful in its dynasty of splendor
Tchaikovsky has his airs for this ballet
all the birds forming a medley in trees
hooked on an historic broadcast of songs

spawned by the eagle’s skimming flight
across the quivering waters ocean wide
mariners sail the seven seas for the Grand Slam
the dancer meets the matador thrust into a tryst of fire
time broadcasts itself in the pursuit of Parisian love
