Poem
(randomly drawn years gone by
without gifted with pipe dream pot of gold)

Paradise visage and eyes 
   a bulge with dollar signs
   whetted imagination 
   PowerBall ticket bought

expected usual outcome 
   after next drawing 
   to yield monetary naught
temptation for instant millions 

   human foible to reach 
   elusive pot of gold 
   streak of universal desire  
   potential riches 
   overtook rational self
   delusions of grandeur caught

aloud, enabled and provided flirtation 
   illusory fate to experience rich draught
envisioned emancipation 
   nondenominational penury 
   distant battle fought
attacking hard scrapple existence wrought!

At core
 precious legal tender chronically 
   short supply within 
   this (then) family of four
though hard times, eye desired at least 

   another son or daughter 
urge (long silenced this ram 
   ewe who) vehemently didst roar
boot budding young girls 

   I whole-heartedly loved and adored,
who rushed into opened arms, 
   whenever back from trivial pursuits 
   nearly squeezing out digested gore,
when casually and nonchalantly 
   turned key to open front door
akin to finest crafted clock work 
   sounding time of day
   they danced and frolicked 
   like kittens or puppies 
   bringing newspaper and/or 
   dem golden (ha) slippers 
   sharing silly concocted faux pa lore

inviting me to play 
   make believe games on floor
enjoying revelry 
   without keeping score
yet…creating memories 
   I forever store!  

Financial straits 
   made unsettled existence hand to mouth
   fantastically generated grandiose aspirations 
   successful life frequently headed south.

Creative endeavors 
   found excitement and linguistic pleasure
   thru attempt to pry poem 
   or prose from mind
deliberated semblance to communicate 

   and extract idea from cranial rind
words synchronized suitably 
   in poetic third eye bind
readers may espy hidden puns 
   within rhyme lined
 with challenges or commiserate 

   and complement 
   via words of positive kind
although large sum of money 
   would be dog send
   delivered by one 

   blessed angel in disguise
   redemption and salvation 
   rued bing considerate regarding 
   thankful escape out thumb poverty dust grind.

Much rather be cursed 
   with excess wealth
deliverance to life, 
   liberty and mental health
depravity foreign concept 
   never to rue by stealth,
nor can money buy spiritual wealth!
