Joe Maverick Poet Acrostic

Poor Sense

P erception, direction intention, ( lets make spiritual ) earthly..' 
O wow..' saving their strength maybe? well maybe..'
O utlaw carriage rides, in N Y C, horses would have more time; 4 T V..?
R egulation in school legislate against.. Against.?  hazards in play..?

S ave the wretched flesh from toil, ( really ?) (really?) 
E gregious intervention, yes that's it..' let people stay months in their bed
N ot to long till the muscles waste in legs, (hey why not live without living)
S ave mankind from any labour, obesity... Is just the resulting flavour
E quine mammals enjoy moderate labour, D N A I'm sure will agree..'

Funom Makama October 13, 2015 at 7:24 AM longest time friend. You've just exhibited to the highest quality exactly what I have missed in here for months. Your lines are so exciting and your words are each having that second hand of drawing me back to them again and again and again irrespective of how many times I have gone through them. Its nice to be home and you are part of the reason I have this refreshing feeling. A definite 7. Cheers!

James Peranteau January 23, 2015 at 11:45 AM Hey Joe, great Acrostic! I just want to throw my 3 cents in, in regard the plight of our equine friends who labor for our enjoyment. And please don't get me wrong here; I am from Philly, and we have carrage rides as well, yet recently my thoughts have taken a drastic turn. I just learned yesterday that three mammals suffer from,emphysema; humans, bovine and yes, you guessed it,horses ! That carbon monoxide cars produce, cause much of it in horses. They just get shot,no oxygen like us. Much love Joe Maverick January 24, 2015 at 12:28 PM Thanks for the heads up James, writing this I was thinking of the primary route being through central park, correct if I am wrong my friend.' I would also consider the Horses being valuable to the owners would have 'care' as par 'f t c' I speaking as a man of 'former' strength, enjoyed exertion and had one morning woken to 'salt grit' on my forehead and content.' from a prior days heavy exercise, so I would think the horses would also relish flexing muscles, many thanks for the visit dear friend..'

Andrea Dietrich January 10, 2015 at 5:33 PM this one is very clever. A GREAT and timely message in it. So glad to see a new post from you!!! Great job.

Sara Kendrick January 10, 2015 at 4:59 PM Cute one..Enjoyed reading this one today..Thanks for the visit to my page..I believe that some would enjoy a life without physical labor though..Sara

Maurice Yvonne January 10, 2015 at 7:14 AM Interesting piece and successful I would say. I am now interested in reading about this issue. I had not heard of it.

Daver Austin January 4, 2015 at 9:27 AM I don't understand your comment. No offense, but I don't send any but my e-mail address to anyone. Hope you had a good new year. Love, daver

Daver Austin January 3, 2015 at 9:49 AM Just a line to wish you a happy new year. Love, Dave

Daver Austin December 30, 2014 at 10:40 AM Obesity. A real modern problem - not only health wise but mind wise also. Are we a society that must be entertained, and by loud music as well. Good to hear from you Joe. Love, daver

Jack Horne December 28, 2014 at 9:32 AM Thought provoking piece, Joe - hope you had a wonderful Xmas

Harry Horsman December 28, 2014 at 5:41 AM Love your take on today Joe...Happy New Year Joe Maverick December 28, 2014 at 7:23 AM Hey there Harry thanks for the new year wish, and for the comment, I find peoples ideas of What's for the better quite misguided (sometimes) I dashed this off after seeing the plight of the horse cab owners in central park N Y C, Its a bit thrown together and I changed a few words, yet its a honest enough off the cuff appraisal..'
