Barter has precedence
Barter of goods was before gold or paper before electronic
Transfers of the digit inflaters..How are dots and numbers
Balanced and checked? How many hyphens will i need for
A floor? How many dots to create a strong door? or a ship
Or a boat? Could i have one in gold? I've heard there are Some of timber?
Or is

November Tides
~~~~~~~~~~~
The rains have come on another Fall wind.,
nostalgia, once gone, now creeps back in.
My cornucopia overflows with things Man cannot barter or buy.
A hand to her hand, lover's sigh to wooed sigh.

Money - It's Not What You Think
Many of us are confused as to value, the convenience of money
O not long ago, GOLD was the real money, today "feelings" hold sway
No paper is wealth, except if it allows for BARTER (Covid-19 has a say!)
Every freshman ought to know: money are notes (promissory)
Your reputation backs money: see "credit" dry up when U don't

A Wanton Barter
Everyone’s life is tragic,
but who calls out the score
The Jester or the Hangman,
the Undertaker sure
Everyone’s nights are haunted,
when sleeping with the Muse
Each dream a wanton barter
—your memories to lose
(Haverford Pennsylvania: May, 2020)

Barter of a Kind
Do you wish to take a Sabbath
From this world of anguish and lie?
Go visit the cemetery
You will surely find one nearby.
There you can barter your traumas
For compassion and peace instead,
The living have learnt not this craft
It’s fine art harnessed by those dead.

Barter Town
Come and live in Barter Town...
there's nothing like it I have found.
Trade is how you buy stuff here.
You can even buy yourself a beer.
Suppose you need to fix your car...
you need not travel very far.
Joe the mechanic will help you out...
if you can help on his paper route.
Mary Joe makes tasty honey...
which she will trade

Barter For Smart
I wonder if I can barter for smart
I would only need a little to start
I’ll trade my dumb
If you need some
Lord knows I have more than plenty to part!
For Dumb and Dumber contest
I'll barter for smart with some of my dumb (my own quote)

Flora's Barter
Flora’s Barter
Behold the girl
Reciting in the gardens
Emily Grace
Poetic voice to sharpen
Enhaling scents
From flowers freely lent
Lyrical verses
Flora’s barter well spent
Behold the rose
Growing on the arbor posed
Enriched by the words
Read from books composed
Rising higher still
Glancing over shoulder bold
Pink as sunkissed cheeks
Reading poems spun of gold
Behold the paths
Lined with blooming flowers
Embracing hymns
Of lyrics that impower
Strolling along
Lost in

An Acrimonious Barter
Hello, Omnipotent: Lordship, Excellency, Highness a moment please.
Great and mighty Lord of the universe I am just your slave to wish
Education is miles away; give me the power untold to mollycoddle.
O! Gracious lord can I really live with out your agreement support?
Trust me to will; the land air and seas so all kneel before thy
