ample sufficiency
hunger craves its fill,
until too much makes you sick
the mind seeks advice
until over-full it spills
with space left for creation

Ample Ambrose the Artist
Ample Ambrose amplified
Artistic expression until he died
Leaving a legacy of art works galore
All of them fresh, his parents swore
He did not sell one piece when he was alive
Last week his brilliant mother sold eighty-five
How are you so successful we asked her
Easy, she replied. I am a trained marketer.
Ambrose spent his life pursuing his love.
I bet

Ample
I have had enough
Of being the example...
I think, though I lack tough,
I know I am quite ample.

Is This Ample Enough
none of the McCormicks knew which insect had made the crying sounds
odd since usually every McCormick is an expert about thirty-nine things
I know because my mother and her sixty-two sisters are all McCormicks
Some of the McCormicks do not bother to marry, cannot find ample fodder.
Is this ample enough? Cousin Lewt asked, dragging a McCormick home.
Isn’t

Ample Is the Rising Sun
Ample is the rising sun
That alights the furthest mountain –
A carmine drape upon every hill –
Exciting the birds to warble.
Ample, too, is the evening sun
That paints a nebulous curtain –
Quickly changing the palette until
Bringing the good day to shutter.

Ample Rose Bush
Silken whispers greet the blithe morning
damp mist spring tap on red oak door
joyful treat preempted faint dawning
Felicity a phase one can’t ignore
bright daffodil white and pink bloom
fragrant garden bouquet stuff of lore
Alyssum’s plump trailing mound may loom
where greyedging border might seem bare
ideal cluster wraparound March plume
Ever present awe inflames my stare
rampant green aroma gust

As the Flickering Stars Smile With Ample Delight
What in time's complex breath causes you to ask
Tacit monotony's spiral to complain so
When consciousness cuts it own wings to better bask
In the bright limelight and let the virgin girl go.
Harley's ghost sits in my catatonic hallway
Waving a banner crying out soon our defeat
But we know better, giving up is not our way
Across the white,

Ample Container of Carrot Soup
There was an ample container of orange carrot soup.
Filled to the brim, overflowing onto a warm floor.
It is tasty and delicious, with consistency of goop.
Said the excited Rabbit, who could live here forevermore.

Pimple
On her unfortunate face,
Expanding with grace;
A tyrant of a pimple,
Looking to be simple…
But with cohorts, an ample,
Intending her young skin to rumple
And her peace crumple:
All- too- overshadowed her dimple.

Alas Ample Alliteration Available
Alas ample alliteration available?!
True (terrific) title: Trump's truckling tutored troopers...;
wily word wizard worried,
where world wide web wickedly wends.
Triumphantly tenaciously (try to) trample treacly
traffickers target timid testifiers traducing,
their traitorous tractable toxic troglodyte:
today transition toward
totalitarianism tidily trends.
Quasimoto (querulously) queries, quivers, quakes:
queasiness quotient quarantine quelled qualm;
qua quacking quaffing quota quips:
quicksand quits quagmire quashing:
quintessential quarrelsome;
quintillionth queued questioner.
Numbskull noodles notorious

Ample Stains
Work wit well
Taste taut times
Tough times tell
Mood moves mime
Line by line
Take your time
Bad times brine
Due death rhymes
Apt aim asks
Watch sad show
Bright boom bust
Bad blood grows
So much pain
Cough now chokes
Sick breath stains
Dead air pokes
Seek a cure
Lost in pain
Fix heart pure
Blame hooks train
Bless and pray
Wise way comes
May bright days
Voice bold psalm
Set heart right
Bring warm touch
Meet minds bright
To

Ample Sample of An Example
Ample Sample of an Example
In my mind, thoughts made are ample,
Amount we did determine to be sample;
When measured,
Was treasured,
Of what had become an exact example.

Ample
Dare sample
Love ample
Don't ramble
Live cheery
Love truly
Don't tell me
Poise discerns
Farms concerns
Don't force terms
Give freely
Gain truly
Don't spread lies

Ample Thanks
The fork goes on the left.
The poor go on the streets.
And the plate is amply full
when the thankfulness conceits.
