Premium MemberThe Joke is on Me

Am I a blip 
in my own life
known as obscurity?

Is this a poem for you 
and me?

Or am I a maze
of lost meaning? 

Is my little life 
a labyrinth
I cannot solve?

Is my day
called
Sudoku?

Premium MemberRomance Fouls Out

  
      It was love at first sight
         Everything about her felt so right

      Her shape, her motion, her shade of brown
         He took her with him to every venue in town

      But then, with no more basketball games slated 
          The love of his life quickly deflated

Premium MemberGuardian Angels

Those shadows you see 
are not meant to frighten.
They are angels watching over
your life.

The angels in the day 
are clusters of clouds 
guiding your way.

The angels you feel 
are the love ones you miss.
They are keeping your memories alive.
Memories are meant to last,
not pass.

Premium MemberOut of Bounds

Swadling encrypt the contrarious slopes of a mired
entity coursed veinous stammer spurts bled 
across a court of an unchallenged befitted named
as valor cornered the bleached to be razed 
spirits encapsulate the branded sole championed 
glory dazed betwixt ears of an abandoned
waning light fills purple sighs 'ill eve succumbed
bitterness spilt the downtrodden weighed
hung kicked a life out of bound the final scored

Premium MemberIN LIFE'S BALL GAME

Don't be a football,
Thrown and kicked down the field
Like rocks of nature;
Rather, be a bouncing ball
Sowing and reaping life's goals

Premium MemberA National Treasure

Sister Jean, a national treasure
    burst on the scene five years ago
  her Loyola Ramblers took the NCAAs by storm
    and Sister Jean's quiet life was transformed 

  Now it's five years later
    Loyola's going nowhere fast
  But our fascination with Jean
    has yet to pass ... 

  Interviewed last week at 103
    She'd heard of a gal age 114
  Faced her audience squarely and insisted
    "Now that's just too darn old to be!"

Premium MemberShooting Star

man-child used to being a shooting star
drinks always came for free at the cash bar
full to brim with urges and willfulness
left wondering alone in wilderness
not quite able to keep up with himself
loss and wanton desires ruin mental health
focus gone, became another lost boy
"Aw shucks" demeanor his major decoy
not understanding skill in scoring points
a lifetime of pleasure does not appoint
Johnny was after all his father's son
truly did not seek to hurt anyone

like so many others, gone way too soon
leaving the rubble of legend he'd strewn

Premium MemberGoodbye:Kobe and Gianna Bryant

Another day of mystery
Has now come to its end
How will we field the loss
Of our hero and our friend

Life is very fragile
It comes with its ups and downs
Enjoy each moment you are given
Even when it makes you frown

So many he has mentored
So much that he did gain
So many that he did help
With his fortune and his fame

Now we say good bye
We now shall bid adieu
The world will miss you Kobe Bryant
And your beautiful daughter to

Premium MemberToday Tomorrow Gone

How will you spend tomorrow?
How did you spend today?
Why do hero's come and go?
How are legends made?

Ask yourself these questions
Ponder the answers through
Take a good hard look at your life
Now imagine what you can do

Each day is such a gift
For granted please don't take
Always face each day anew
Light each candle and taste the cake

Surround yourself with love and joy
More memories be sure to make
Today could be tomorrow gone
Another heart could break

Premium MemberAdvice For Life

Life is like a hot cup of coffee. 
Don't rush it, enjoy it slowly. 
Feel the warmth. 
Make it last as long as you can, 
and enjoy it with friends.

Premium MemberLife With Trump I

It's bullies Melania fights
The big one is now in her sights
If Donald should stray
His schlong she will flay
And not even give him last rites
