Good 'N Wild
Good ‘n Wild with Bad ‘n Tame went awondering
On whimsical wings spinning together a tornado
Only exhaustion rested their reality of much ado
Don’t debated do, as wildly a passion conquered…
‘Never take on the wild for it leaves all forsaken’
When good looked at bad, bad saw, as it knew
Into a tame, fierce winds air-force-filled alveoli
Lust inhaled, filling balloons, lifting up to aerial
Depleted heights, gave a bird’s eye, ‘n taunted…
“Does good turn bad or does the wild get tamed?
Death’s by slow suffocation or resounding crash!”

PS - To my readers and fave commenters – I’m off for four months (maxing the visa) tomorrow to go visit with my elderly father and give my younger sister a bit of a break from worrying about him. I may get some connection to the www every now and then but not guaranteed. Hope to be back with more to write and to catch on yours...read and talk with you again at the end of May :)
