My heart is broken today with news that's rocked the world on death of this beautiful angel
D olly you were earth’s beautiful angel
O h today you’ll be leading heavens choir
L oved you ~ always will love you

Y ou ~ are a legend beyond other legends, your memory lives on
P lease Lord give Dolly a hug from me
A lways will be the poet your music inspired me to be
R eally the world mourns your loss today
T hank you for the music from your poetic heart

Ending with my message from my heart on this sad day
“ Forever loved ~ forever in this Scottish heart of mine “
Your Quote Dolly “ Pour yourself a cup of ambition “ by Dolly Parton
I’m doing that today ~ I’m dreaming big thank you
R.I.P. Beautiful Soul fly high Dolly Parton

Fourteen minutes from Independence Hall
You'll find Hell on Kensington Street
Its a zombie apocalypse, American fall
The worst decay you'll ever meet.
People inject each other with heroin and tranq.
You wonder how the survival instinct warps
Ben Shapiro went there, and his heart sank
He described each loser as a living corpse
He was aghast, he saw people without feet
Rotted away because of the tranq they ingest
Festering bodies, was this once a stately street?
Our founders pledged sacred honor, but did they fail this test?
Prostitutes fill the streets by kids walking to school
The kids walk by the dead, by addicts shooting a last vein
Anyone who advocated for this would be a fool
But we elected one as mayor, isn't that insane?
The DSA platform once said all drugs should legalize
I hope Mamdani gave this up now
But whores on your doorstep, he'll give that prize
Does he know what he's doing, what this will allow?
Plenty of people stoned in New York
But more chaos can be made, does anyone care?
Genie out of the bottle, can't find the cork
Remember Kensington Street, Philadelphia, and despair.
An American legendary comedian and actress
Now smiles on new stamp of USPS
A long-lived fellow born in Illinois
With perpetual charm and glamor, oh boy!
Betty Marion Ludden-- her real name
Her screen role and contributions brought her fame
First woman who produced the American national TV show
A sitcom star with various awards, still to mention below.
For almost seven decades on vast screen appearances
Brought world-wide entertainment, great happiness
From radio, starred on TV productions and variety shows
Game show host icon and on Emmys--winning awards snow!
Considered as Guinness World Record Holder
For Longest Career on Female TV Entertainer
An author of six books, some with audio, a talented writer
Her charity works advocated animal rights, so remarkable!
The wild wind plays its part.
Orchids on my Lord's yard
Blown and thrown apart.
They were meant to fall?
Before coming of age?
The suspects were to be summoned at once.
"No such intentions I carry, oh Lord...."
Wild wind presents, an alibi persuading.
"I was hurled by these towering trees."
The court, bewildered.
Yet, advocated his statement.
"It was not just me, a whole bunch of us.
I? Merely a pawn swayed by an arrogant king, Sire?
I take no part in this massacre...."
Not even a warlord made my king sweat.
Apprehension of injustice it is.
Suppressing the murmurs, my King speaks.
"Oh mighty wind, brutal nature force,
Why assist destruction of the old man's blossom?
Tell me, oh lofty tree.
You bear children of your own,
Why kill mine? "
"Why flowers bloom?
When destined to wither only.
We relish and embrace them,
Refer- beauty, innocence and sanctity.
Why gather them here?
A corpse lying on a pyre...."
Vermont's phlosopher/teacher John Dewey

Frank Mceachran a Cambridge don

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived
Cesna son painter,Matteo Zaccolini
advocated the colour theory
In mirrorscript he wrote his treatise
read backwards in a glass,with ease
Some call you dictator; others think you are a hero
I have no idea; but love it that you rose from the ranks
Some say you are squelching them, others are impressed by you.
I have no idea, but know you have been peasant, soldier, scholar.
You watched the exiting president for five years.
Waiting your turn, causing no undue stress.
You have advocated free trade with Japan, Europe and Africa.
These are admirable qualities, President Xi.
Some hate you for things you have done or not done.
Others relish your wise practices and tout your wisdom.
You have seen much in your almost sixty-seven years.
Your accomplishments are well known.
Many follow your lead, praising your practices.
Others think you are self-serving and feel censored.
You are progressive, experienced, powerful.
You have been through much; your mind is keen.
Your economic and social reforms are just.
In contrast, what is the purpose of massive surveillance?
If you do not trust your people, will they continue to respect you?
You have much to think about President Xi. Some call you dictator.

The Interview
Written: by Miracle Man
5-4-2020
A topic of late being hotly debated,
brings questions and answers, both, unrelated.
Before responding to a question, he hesitated,
then implied that question should be restated.
Now slurring his speech as if half sedated,
he requested, into English, it be translated.
For the rights of women I’ve always advocated,
so I demand these accusations now be vacated.
My body of work has been most decorated,
and these accusations find me devastated.
I hold to the statement I’ve previously stated,
I deny, deny, though witnesses were located.
This story is something the media created,
and tends to leave me quite frustrated.
By bringing up these things far belated,
you’ve made Innocent things seem x-rated.
The charges against me have been inflated,
and should have never been promulgated.
Before I totally lose it and become agitated,
I think this interview should be truncated.
If I die today
Let me leave one thing
In my loved ones’ hearts
She had character
Love was her mantra
Integrity
Stood up often
Stood up alone
Always stood up
Advocated
Character
Truthfulness
Honest
Beacon
Love
