Dalton Ogletree Poet Rhyme

During the Eve

2/14/17


At similar and different degrees
Animals, humans, and objects proceed
At lower and higher speeds
By the land and sea
Near many trees
Bearing fruit, or mainly leaves

Far too many display greed
Being naive, with intentions that deceive
And mislead

I believe
Indeed
I'll succeed
And achieve
While following through on deeds
As I aim to exceed

Burned, dug and pulled weeds
Some of which got cleaved
And eventually heaved
Into a orderly pile before, after or during the eve

Pollen in the breeze
Causing those allergic to sneeze
Near and far from hives of bees

Some pray on their knees
In the midst of Summer heat or Winters freeze

Evidence and other items getting seized
Some but not all could be got back through paying fees

What was difficult for many, may have been done by others with ease
Regardless of if they have prestige

A vast amount of cuisines
With greens
And or meats, some of which considered lean

Either following or breaking the creed
In the midst of, or behind the scenes

Handmade crafts and figurines
And others created by machines

Instead of charging in with a head full of steam
Better think and heed
While trying to grasp what it means

Do you agree or disagree
That is not all that it seems?

Areas with weather considered extreme
Occasionally turning things into smithereens

Another night where I didn't dream
Whether I did or didn't fall asleep in front of a screen

Can the soul be redeemed
Despite there being no guarantee

Finished tasks solo or in a team
Above and below terrain having ravines

Dirtied up, scuffed and cut my jeans
The same could be said for my sleeves

Not yet have I had mead
Or paid for a limousine

Close and beyond places known for the occasional stampede

Could it have been preventable with vaccines
For afflictions and disease
Above and below streams
As well as submarines

However this all may be deemed
There is no hidden strings or schemes

It is good to read
Brain, body, soul and spirit need to feed

Intervene
Got to switch up the same old routines
And reign supreme
