DARKNESS ALLOWED TO SHINE-
DARKNESS ALLOWED TO SHINE
It was a solace of night
Darkness fled at pin drop
Days light needed a rest
It allowed darkness to shine

The Sit Down No Juckerspeil allowed
The game of chance karnolfell
the trickster deal the threats
by passing the little Carnes
folk crawling into a Volkswagen
chanting cackling mud wrestling
spooning the Joker finally faced down
calls in a favour from a Tudor
Ford parked who in his old age
forgot how to play and sends a

I will never allowed them to break my spirit
Running Alone
Within a crowded world, I lived my life alone.
Some dreams were fulfilled in unexpected ways.
Often, I believed I’d found my true calling,
yet reality unfolded differently.
I existed in the sheltered confines of my truth—
the road, the pain, the silent games of survival
in a sometimes hateful America.
Disappointment etched on faces,
three years to secure a decent job,
odds

mandrake was not allowed to have fuzzy balls
Mandrake’s sisters had fuzzy balls
Green fuzzy balls on their roller skates
Red fuzzy balls on their ice skates
Purple and pink fuzzy balls on their backpacks
You cannot have fuzzy balls they told him
You are a boy
It would be silly for a boy to have fuzzy balls
So he grew up and made himself a fuzzy ball chair
He also

Please don't be late for this world's greatest escape part five
Fortunately, their musical video of It's just my destiny's, backfired very badly against
all of them! It was rightfully branded and labeled 'as anti-Semitic and hate speech.
Thus because Sunrise musical recording studio didn't want a major lawsuit filed
against them, they not only deleted their heinous most recent video but also
effective immediately, canceled their recording

How would they know?
I mean, this could be AI.

Soul? Is it

Look at it,
Bit lonely there

Be his own mind

Not Allowed
Motorbikes are not allowed
Out here where people stroll.
Smoking’s not permitted, either;
Fresh air is the goal.
Blasting music’s also banned
So peace can be enjoyed,
Which is why, right here and now,
I’m feeling so annoyed.
A motorcycle zipped on past
And stopped one bench away.
Two guys got off and took a seat;
There’s nothing I can say.
Their music’s loud, their reefer

God Has Allowed This That I May-
May I touch you as the Father does
May I embrace you ever so

Do so touch it as my Father does

Merrys Land
Candescence
Auburn plains spread before me while the sun dips in curtsy to the moon.
Violet hued reds against pastel periwinkles radiate out in a cloud of color amongst the obscuring fog, becoming spirits.
The weeping willow bows in its lonesome and waits for autumn's death driving gaze.
The warm grasp of steaming apples and the cool whisper of

No Bad Energy Allowed
No bad energy
Feel life and let go of your
sorrows and agony
You can only live once
You can never die twice
So forget the past and move ahead
The problems in life never end
So don't die young in your challenges
Instead go through the process of life
And become a man with integrity
Remember what is impossible

Endowed Crowd We Allowed Horn Haiku
should see starter home
seemed so small but just enough
which they still live in
apartments for poor
all of them had slate sliding
which they still live in
fight for a union
discriminate against them
sad state of affairs
feel deeply about
God who we all believe in
will show us the way
we were with a crowd
encountered being endowed
which we had allowed
This kind of is
