poetry is ;
pulling a velveteen rabbit
out of a moth-eaten top hat
to the oohs and awws
of a wide-eyed children’s crowd
words flowing faster
than tongues wagging
from pursed dry lips
begging for a bit of water
poetry is;
flowering in the middle
of some nameless desert’s
shimmering heat precisely
at high noon
the sparkle of moisture
an illusion pure
without any slight
of human hand
poetry is pure magic
word imagery
without compare
thematic
musicality,
undulating
harmony
of vocal lines
in
lavish mood:
a nascent
cachet
of
wit
& elegance,
spring
forth
in sophistication
to furnish
reputation
propelled
to the pinnacle
of
popular
preference
reverberations of the conscious mind
in measures of strees and pause

As the spoken word of God resounds
It fueled our faculties with might
As rainbow shades and shapes abounds
There came a song of joy delight
Like waves, it swelled in pools of plenty
The voice of God had reached new heights
It soothes and warms our hearts once empty
We are elated; another realm is school of light
Poetry and light, and life preserved
Such lessons we learn, in doing what's right
Believe on these gifts so many observes
Give thanks! pure poetry equals life.

A stimulus proposal that should only take six months
Give every representative including the president one year's paid holiday
Allow the courts ,police,and firemen to stay at their posts.
Every other government office with the possible exception of the Secret Service and all the armed forces can do
as they see fit to keep us safe for this brief period of freedom. At the end of this holiday we should hold an
election to decide what to do with obviously useless politicians
