Black-Eyed Susans

I’m ordering a pack of seeds
For planting near my house.
Some flowers near a home is
An idea that I espouse.

If I plant black-eyed Susans
And, with luck, they really sprout,
I’ll surely smile each time
I’m coming home or going out.

Their color pops with happiness
And with their middle dot,
Or so-called “eye,” they paint a picture
I like quite a lot.

My thumb’s the opposite of green
So I won’t be surprised
If the seeds I plant don’t give me
Blooms the packets advertised.

Still, it’s not a big investment
To procure and plant some seeds,
For a dash or rain and sun and hope
Is all somebody needs.

Many and first as witness to Presidential crimes

Your experience in today 
Change is not to be brought forth
Journal and starvation are framed
One mustn't and must speak 
Afforded 
The free press is after force of entry
Into location as advertised

"presidential crimes"
Can't is military discipline 
Poverty is defined as can't
The United States can't unite
A document of a dollar in the poverty 
The war is lost

Lure Of Liberty

Aside from its indigenous natives
when those there United States
(home of the braves)
were first settled by white colonists and pioneers
it was advertised with a carrot
(not a torch)
held by copper-sheathed Lady Liberty
with book candle 
(no bell)
française est elle
with the slogan 'Land of the Free'
propaganda of the day it's enough to make one sick
as today there's far less carrot and way too much more stick
haves and have nots will always be there
(the tired poor huddled wretched masses)
but we you and me can make a difference if we really care

Scattered Package

If depression came in a package
it might have the prettiest outer layer.
If depression came in a package
it might have the brightest red bow.

If depression came in a package
it would be advertised by a forked tongue.
Don't be fooled by the paper
it lies over top of danger.

If the package should unravel
and scatter where you stand,
you will soon see the demons.
Don't let them take your hand.

If the package should unravel
and scatter where you stand,
you will feel thousands of blades
cutting your spirit, heart, and hands.

So don't let it unravel;
the package deserves the hottest of flames,
because the dangers it holds inside
are death of the soul, by name.

So don't let it unravel;
the package deserves the hottest of flames,
because the dangers it holds inside
are anything but a good game.

If depression came in a package
it won't at first expose itself by name,
but the sooner it scatters like ashes in the wind
the less you suffer from shame.

Damage control for a politician is the response to bad press. It often takes the form of a press conference or news release that rebuts or provides a positive spin regarding the original bad press. It can be a significant part of a political staff and is often referred to as the Crisis Management Team. Damage control is also we a politician is playing defence in the political arena

from a non profitable transaction being a representative in government and out front of a church in tax certification of tax shelter
these crimes are pivot points from a non free speech

all of this investigative journalism finds this pattern of corruption in time

Must Be A Carnival

I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.
—Groucho Marx

Adventure is just bad planning.
—Roald Amundsen

Must Be A Carnival

Lady, what did you see
advertised? Boat leaves the dock.
Your apparel, a shock. 

Going cruis’n…cruis’n you say.
No time
to be lose’n.

Lady, did you pack light? …for
romantic nights. Take a peek
out the window. It’s after dark.

Tourists, look a bit screwy,
you’re near. Must be a Carnival,
it’s not.

This ship is a swing’n.
Everyone’s going out
for some drink’n.

You weren’t expecting
hot chocolate. Your Summer dress
blow’n in Alaskan winds.

The cold wrapping your legs
sans warmers. Your sandals
flopping upon the deck.

Lady, people are staring.
Have you beamed aboard?
Did someone blindfold you?

Were you buffaloed? Petunia,
are you dense? Pretense,
that you are at ease.

“I meant to dress this way.”
or perhaps it was a dare.
Daring for sure.

Lady, the ship looks a bit
lopsided,
with you.

As Advertised

As Advertised                                                                     ~ Haibun                                                                                            

Obviously out of uniform, the only soldier not wearing his field jacket 
is easily spotted in my morning formation to ensure proper fit and wear 
of the newly issued 1984 Battle Dress Uniform prior to the commander’s
inspection this afternoon.

The Army BDU camouflage pattern of green, brown, tan and black replaces 
the solid colored olive drab green work fatigue uniform worn since 1952.  

“Where's your jacket, Private?” 

“I took it out of my wall locker, First Sergeant, laid it on the bunk, looked
 away for only a minute while putting on my boots and then couldn't find 
my jacket anywhere.”

Unable to stop laughing, I dismiss the formation.
 
Lost: 
Camouflaged Jacket
No distinguishing characteristics

Reckon So

A conglumalate of comapnies gathered together to Unite
under one banner. The sorted the talents, and ranked : reranked
several Pro Grapplers.both in Kayfade and for-reallie-dough!
They excluded the Juggernaut.
The one the World might envy.
But the saw fit to advertise in markets where they are sucluded and often riciculded.
A straight forward Sports Genred Event.
Was advertsied. The Caption said on this date from now and forever all the world shall speak of _______________ As World Champion! They advertised it like they were from the year. 2033 which is a big deal in some wrestling areas. The Guilds and The Guilded are to compete before an "awaiting " Hungery World!
I think this is a novel concept.
Bravo!
Bravo!

Hanks Celebration of Life

Hank’s celebration of life
advertised by kids and wife
hootenanny tonight
flyer says it is out of sight

it was a blast and went until two
refusing to leave were twenty-two
jokes, laughter, stories and such
Hank would have loved this very much!

Humpty Dumpty Gives Us an Update

Long years ago, you heard I fell,
just tumbled from a wall and—SPLAT!
I’d not be whole again, all said.
I’m here to follow up on that.

The King’s men scraped my pieces up.
It seemed they’d better things to do
than put me back together right.
I think they used Gorilla Glue.*

Now here I am, a messed-up sight,
a monster much like Frankenstein.
My body parts are all askew.
Not even my eyeballs align.

I'm feared, avoided, ridiculed.
I've no place in society.
Made a pariah by my looks,
though not in prison, I'm not free.

I hoped corrective surgeries
would fix me; so I filed a claim.
It was denied. It seems that for
my brokenness, I was to blame. 

Here's what the agent said. I quote:
"Foolhardy eggs that perch on walls
should know that someday they'll get hurt.
They've asked for whatever befalls."


*popular product advertised as “the
toughest adhesive on the planet”

FROMAGE BADINAGE

FROMAGE BADINAGE

Some cheeses improve with age
But, in danger of being verbose 
Just serve me plain and mature
Yellow, without that thick rind
And tastier on the tongue, I find
Not fancy, with that false allure
As some blue veins are varicose
But wait, there is a war to wage

Never the plastic American kind
But calling it sharp, it’s still bland
Some made backwards, as Edam
There’s French ones, some smelly
I’ve seen them advertised on telly
As cheese, Philadelphia is a sham
And yet so few dairies understand
Please keep it natural, not refined

A few odd cheeses can squeeze by
As Greek Feta or Cyprus Halloumi
From Italy, there is Mozzarella too
For pasta, it is Parmesan, of course
With a true origin one can endorse
All should be entitled to their view
I report what I taste, so just sue me
And crumbly cheese makes me sigh

Ran it up the flagpole

               ‘Intimate gathering’
                  advertised
               Curiosity piqued...

                  poked my head in
               ~ cozy canoodling  



               __________________
               'Ran it up the flagpole'
               (to see if it would fly)
               was an overused ploy
               from the advertising 
               world of the 1950's 
               and 60's.

realizing she was pretty

The silk sarong arrived more gorgeous than advertised.
Emerald green with gold stitching; Annabeth was thrilled.
As she wrapped herself, she caught her reflection in the mirror.
She gasped. I am pretty! She looked away quickly, feeling vain.
Her husband was watching, admiring his beautiful wife.
Not realizing her awakening.

Treasure Hunting

In realms of cyberspace, I fly
searching out treasures in disguise
skirting advertised merchandise
the ordinary, the overemphasized
to anatomize the marginalized
values overlooked otherwise
on the dusty, neglected, virtual aisles
of small sites not over-commercialized
or google ranked and over-publicized
some unexpected payoffs materialize
glittering swag, patiences prize
“Oh, my God - Look!” I vocalize
My girlfriends can’t believe their eyes
“You can find anything,” they surmise.

Surprise -- Not Quite As Advertised

For Mayor, Chicago voted for a former teacher
       What'd they get ~ a revival preacher

     As advertised Brandon Johnson's socialistic
       Turns out, he's also spiritualistic
