the dog like me appeals to her—
the easy grin, the tail that never quits,
a kind of dumb loyalty she can pet.
i dont talk much, i just watch her move,
eyes soft, like i'm reading a prayer.
i don't chase fame,
just the smell of her perfume in the hallway.
she feeds me scraps,
and I think it’s dinner for a king.
I lick her hand like it’s gospel.
men like me never bite unless cornered,
and even then, I hesitate—
remembering the warmth of her lap,
the sound of her shoes by the door,
the leash that looks like love.
i curl up, dreaming,
thinking obedience and affection are the same thing.
I must confess
I want to just lose these high heels;
I must confess,
I’m confined by this satin dress;
Hear you ignore all these appeals,
I’ve got to know just how that feels;
I must confess …
I used to spend an average of sixty dollars a day at a store.
It did not matter what I bought, as long as I purchased something.
I would leave the clerks cheering, I was their job security.
Unsure when I outgrew this habit, probably when I began working.
When you are at a job eight hours a day, you want to be home.
I could not wait to put on my nightgown and relax.
Thus, working not only gave me money.
But it saved me money.
I realized that now.
And to my vast astonishment,
I no longer have a shopping fixation.
what used to appeal to me is not appealing in the least now.
I spend all of my money on dogs, their treats and their toys.
Steals and Deals Which Aways Appeals
we have heard that steals
even fruit that off skin peals
which do make great deals
years of waiting bring
a father’s desperate cry…

Appeals
In winter the dry field
ask the rain to be soaked ...
In the cold the bare land
strangely asks the snow
to be wrapped up ...
In summer the hot beach
asks the wind to
cool it down ...
In spring, the rose bush
asks the station to
flourish ...
In every season with
my hunger and thirst,
I only ask my lover
to supply me love ...!
Does What Reveals Appeals
There may be many things this reveals,
When more things to you always appeals;
From Trump receive;
We will never believe;
Sounds like some more of what Trump spiels.
With or without Glackens.

An Appeals Court
What appeals to circuit
Court up they need to perk it,
Now and never quit.
Watching news and writing poems
from observations is always interesting.

Dear mother nature you're supposed
to make the world a good place to be in
Today the sky had hues of orange
Life begins every day when the sun arises
Mixed with the fire's toast
drinking of daylight
Nature's wonderful respect for darkness
A moon shared the sky
And you will never feel disappointed
To be born again off you
with the sun setting
Dipping down golden over mountains
Like a soul lost awaiting to be found
A slim narrow smile pearly shines
Awaiting with anticipation
Night closing in as twilight holds a dream
The master's at work
the divinity of a deity
Whispers of a breeze through fir trees
Rusting branches sway dancing freely
Surely created a deep impression inside me
Life begins every day
when the sun takes center stage
A sharp cutting breath hits home
Diamond cutting thoughts invade
Sailing away into another world
The moon and the stars come out in full force
Sharing a daydream as the night closes in
Your eyes carry the sun peaking through the clouds
Destiny living and breathing the same air
Until bliss becomes your daily drink

A Collaborated Poem
My love
I felt sympathy of winds
With my love
To you
And is founded the virtue
Of my love
In rains
In sole heart how in mellowness
Heaven kisses the earth
Desire
With passion
Of love
Divine depicted love
In rainbow lips
But might some in doubt
Still in love
But nature love in songs
And in scenes
in hues splashed butterflies
And roses
Blessing is love- appeals
The nature
To love you
In all's
