Worthy Work
Do the best in all you do
With all your strenght and skill
Let your work be clean and true
Giving your heart and will
Using your time wisely too
With none leftover to kill
So at the end of your working day
Your work is worth your pay...

Night Show
Wind on strings
whistles
Thunder beats
on drums
Wolf solo sings
Rainfall hums
Owls hoot low
Striking lightning
glows
In gentle murmur
a spring
sings lullaby
to sleeping flowers

Ottava Rima
A lady named Ottava Rima
who hailed from Peruvian Lima
would write down her verse
then bellow and curse
All the structure just made her Scream-a!

Bingo
Jasper Johns saw the number eight,
And he was illuminated,
Then he started to speculate:
A lonely number should be mated,
I need something with more weight,
And the obvious he deliberated:
Paint with numbers my good man,
I’ll draw them from the colours in my can!...

Spring's Victory
Blue butterflies dancing with me,
Old stars come down to kiss the earth,
The happy birds are flying free,
A time for perfume, endless mirth
New silver bells ring… Victory!
Snowdrops announce the new Spring birth.
Cherry blossom rise in splendor,
As the winter slow surrender!...

Sunburn Is No Fun
Slipping slowly across the sky,
Summer sun in hot sizzling bliss
Permits no hasty alibi,
Neither offers a gentle kiss,
While ample creams will justify
Protective lotions we dismiss,
So, lest we blister, we must care,
Protective shirts and sunscreen wear.

Perfume
PERFUME
Baby knows mother’s scent,
Find her in the dark, need be.
Mama’s strength’s all but spent
But baby nestles on her knee,
Head to breast well-content,
Imbibes perfume of famiy tree,
Loving there her essence, fragrance -
World’s best perfume in abundance....

Just a Thought
Went to the orchestra tonight,
All had tails, and gowns to floor,
Distinctive sounds, sounded right.
Came the end, conductor on guard,
Lady’s cleavage focused on;
Conductor’s baton now quite hard
All’s well that bends well, saintly true,
While conductor’s trousers? Steadily grew....

Reducing Knowledge
Insisting one might was well be dead
Feasting upon dark emotional words
This is how the young have been led
Magnetic this compass for the birds
Signal sent be that of infrared
Drawing them all in by the herds
This be part of their pseudoscience
By misusing the cognitive science...

Intrusion
"Gosh!,by heaven who is this again?"
He flew holding unto the wall as it's aid.
It leaped higher,when the light i on again.
He retrieved as the shadow fled.
My fist strucked the wall,
To have it on the tile fall.
But the more i hunt it,
The cockroach escapes it.

An Evil Eye
Hurricanes twirl like a kaleidoscope,
chaotic fragments crash in pewter sky,
perpetual unstable isotopes
create apocalypse on land once dry.
Cacophony of wind does shear the hope
to quell hysteria in waters high.
The spiraled carnage in the wind does fly
outside the hollow of an evil eye....

Deep Degradation
By a slender thread hangs my sanity.
I am dangling just above an abyss.
At any moment, I can fall freely
Into the clutches of a nemesis.
Short moments seem like an eternity.
I have never been in a place like this.
I will fall into deep degradation.
Please let it be my imagination.

Empty Handed
Your fabrications are all that ring true;
You do what you do holding a motive;
That bawdy neon sign reads ‘Ballyhoo’.
Why am I attracted to corrosive?
Patchwork display of broken art you drew,
complete picture is the gift that I give;
I can’t do artificially flavored
unable to stomach empty handed....

Serendipity
When serendipity ignites,
A fire burns within the mind.
Attesting to one’s new insight.
The soul with joy does quickly bind.
Then, leads a man to great delight.
Approaching widsom’s glow refined.
When providence is thus amused,
Intelligence becomes infused.

Winter
WINTER
When icicles hang by the wall
And Dick the shepherd blows his nail,
If those frozen spears should happen to fall
And miss the solid milk in pail
And Tom bears logs into the hall,
They might the young man assail.
They could pierce him like a knife
Could be the end of poor Tom’s life...

Initiating Impulse
Specific does do be this carrier wave
It was simply completed by thought
Around the world it will be the rave
Putting to an end all that had fought
In each individual to save
The incoming blast all will be caught
Now initiating brand new rays
All that it requires is some initial forethought...

Rhyming Verse
R-hyming verse written
A-nd poetry spoken have let
Y-our heart and soul open,
N-ot minding the woes and fret,
A-s the wide blue heaven
L-ets not your memory forget,
Y-our both eyes have read first
N-othing but the rhyming verse.

Storm of Starvation
Food shortage looms again the world over;
as war in Ukraine threatens wheat supply!
Globe faces the hurricane of hunger
due to hypersonic missiles that fly!
Modern weapon’s devastating power
lets both enemies and civilians die.
The rain of bullets coming from the gun
never lets mankind eat beneath the sun!...

Dandelion Wishes In Hades
Soft dandelion wishes in Hades
sprinkling passion softly into the wind;
Longing for love not dependent on fees,
to experience this the rules I’d bend;
Just a little taste of this oasis,
when is this unquenchable thirst to end?
Two wildflowers in a field of lilac,
I will always find a way to come back.

Chivalry
If I could travel back in time I would
Return to the great age of chivalry
To meet Sir Lancelot and Robin Hood
In Merry Old England is where I'd be
I would raise my sword for all that is good
And kiss the hand of my fair lady
To scale the castle wall with the moon above
Just to spend a night in the arms of my love...

Ottava Rima #4
The television entertains my eyes,
Right before I proceed to go to bed.
The welcoming bed will tell me no lies,
And will put no illusions in my head.
I assume my place as my spirit dies.
There is nothing more that needs to be said.
As silence proceeds to sing me a song,
I simply close my eyes and sing along....

Ottava Rima #5
And so, I begin to drift off to sleep,
Creating visions of an empty face,
That occasionally prefers to creep
Up at the wrong time and in the wrong place.
This empty face makes me want to weep
About the fact that I can not keep pace.
A life, that nobody else wants to share,
Has finally become too hard to bare....

Ottava Rima #1
I awaken in a bed full of space,
Listening to the silence that greets me.
I quickly find myself in the embrace
Of a room that is as dark as can be.
I cook my single serving eggs with grace,
With my single serving toast and hot tea.
My tea is conveniently made for one,
With no left overs, when the meal is done....
