Traffic

We drive on the left
park in the driveway
and walk on the pavement
over here in the good old U.K.
They drive on the right
and on the parkway
also the pavement
over there in the U.S. of A.
It could be confusing to motorist
and pedestrian alike,
so where should we go
when riding a bike?

Take two to tango

2025.04.28
It takes two to tango.
It is very true, if you believe otherwise,
You are naive and a simple minded soul.
It applied to all the keeping promises too.
I made so many on my own will,
Devotedly to someone I loved, adored or idolatry
Ended up breaking my promises frivolously and painfully.
That was because I wanted the very best,
Of the

Other Days, But None Alike
Miracle Man
11/19/2024

Yesterday is a storage bin for all my past adventures,
there recorded is wins and losses of all my past ventures.

Today is that brief span of time stuffed in between,
and when it quickly passes, no more will it be seen.

Tomorrow never comes yet I may experience more.
I oft pause and wonder

Premium MemberWe Are All More Alike Than We Know

I will stay till the end 
I am that kind of friend
Your dark bitter days
where you navigate the maze

Life gives everyone strife
and the lumps and the bruises
and the causes we take up
and at times joyous cruises

But it's the friends that can bandage us up
as we accidentally open a vein
and inadvertently cause ourselves pain
We struggle against

Steven Grant : “ Every idea is a juxtaposition of existing concepts.”

Wilson Mizner : “ If you steal from one author, it’s plagiarism, if you steal
                       from many, it’s research.”

American and African Women Not Alike

For bold references
Are the fat differences
Between Women of America
And The Sun-Blackened of Africa
Who in torrents sweat
But over this not fret
In no hurry to involve air-conditioners
Rather through prayers to God Petitioners …

The Jilted-By-Her-Lover cries her head off
While The American could The Idiot’s head blow off,
Knee-low skirts only for a nice story,
The American sure in Mini as

Fight Putin Alike Churchill Fought Hitler

We’ve all been young dumb 
and unaware so has everyone, 
we too were the first generation 
growing up with tech others hadn’t 

I was born last century so to kids I’m old 
Born the same year as Back To The Future 
predicting widescreen television, video calls, 
audio control, using fax but not computer 

Fax and

Look Alike

look-alike

my look-alike
was a book-keeper
I was one too
But got bored,
Joined the navy
I have not seen my look-alike
For forty years. 
There is a mirror
In the hall
Tell me of times gone.
He has sent me a thousand email 
But it feels like
I have sent them myself.
I want to be free of him
He occupies
Too much space in my head
But, the

My Eyes and Heart Are Falling Alike So

My eyes and heart are falling alike so 
The stars tonight may even fall like leaves
Sprinkles of raindrops are falling
The sunset fell and darkness falls 
A waterfall falls so sparkling t'was clear
Petals off a rose bush dramatically fall
Feathers fall from a bird ready to fly
The sun watches the moon fall and rise
That butterfly looks as if its

Premium MemberWe Are More Alike Than Different

We are more alike than different; don’t judge us on our packaging.
Let us find each other on a soul level; do not mess us up with stereotypes.
Music finds us in barns, bars, cars, boats; beside campfires with strangers.
Just people we have not understood yet; let us play it out, listening.

If we all wore blindfolds, would

Premium MemberNot All Butterflies Alike

i have it here for safekeeping
the epitome of your life’s work
the crown jewel
the holy grail

a little butterfly

barely a teenager
the first workshop project
held in your hands
sanded
caressed
polished
for hours and hours

dedication
focus and determination
you had a vision
to transform a lifeless piece of wood
into the silky smooth finish
with
devotion
drive
ambition
passion

it’s only a butterfly
i think not
you gave it life
it’s got soul
a flavor of

There's never been two snowflakes alike
Whoever came up with this one can go fly a kite
Of the trillions since
Saw at least a couple of twins
With these astronomical odds, a few might see the light
