Apple Blossoms


Cool in the morning
A few leaves are still clinging
To a few branches

Days of retirement blend

Dry snowflakes falling,
Like white dust on the dry ground,
Scatter in the wind

As a...

Her Mother says I'm not that bright
      in need of supervision.
A wayward male who would likely fail
      to make a good decision.
So I've lost my friends... they've disappeared,
      my wife...

I am strange—so strange
that I self-destructed and don't regret it.

Actions do speak louder than words, many miss interpret the figure of speech though
Majority is vastly manifesting are those who refuse to acknowledge that your tone of voice 
Plays a major role 
Its destruction can be the silence of a human being

No sugar, no cream,
jet-black and bitter;
nothing to enhance the taste.
That's how
I like the truth,
in all its forms.
Just give it to me straight!
The more bitter, the better!
No sugar,
yes, let it stay bland
No cream
to change the hue 
to cafe au lait.
That's how 
I like my dose of...

Randolph the Reindeer
Rudolph had an older brother
Randolph was his given name
But he didn't stand up for Rudolph
When they wouldn't let Rudolph play games

When Rudolph became popular
Everyone put Randolph down
The pressure proved to be too much
So Randolph had to leave town

There's not much for Reindeers out...

No time for breakfast, snatch a cereal bar,
anger at mislaid  keys to the car.
He vents his spleen at anything that moves
she dishes out a look that disapproves.
The children eat their toast, their heads kept down
until the door slams as he leaves for town.
Alone, mid-morning,...

As spring fades to summer, and summer to fall,
The world goes on turning, indifferent to all,
Not caring for emperors, peasants, or popes,
But forging fresh fortunes for scaling new slopes...
And so go our hopes.

Some stage a distraction, a senseless sideshow,
Insisting on missing its unflagging flow.
Some raise...

She turned to her wristwatch but to her dismay
Stuck on "6:59" perhaps time shall not be exposed!

She thought she was walking in the middle of the night
In that old street with an old streetlight
While everyone is asleep and at peace
Dreaming or snoring so deep
And cheers...

A ‘saint’ white untainted
She stares at the rest... mere mortals 
From her seat on the mountain called
PREJUDICE.
There is ice in her eyes
She needs no words to say she disapproves 
The queen of ‘righteousness’
From the mountain she looks on 
The sinners strive and struggle 
Toil and...

Today dear wifey poo will be having cataracts removed
This weenie here cringes at the thought, heartily disapproves
Rather use a cane
No needle that's insane
To inflict this torture, surgeons are surely unmoved...

Order Before

Order in order there is no order before
Off the cliff wild berries follow the flow
A simple wind and off John goes
Tumbles with lost footing
He grabbed the berry bush
Off they go together    
Nothing more happens after that 
One slip before the rock,...

Our country is in trouble, Hope is eroding
  Government's imploding, Crime is exploding
Prices are up the kazoo, ships are waiting in queue
  With Russia and China on the move, the USA 'strongly disapproves'

Faith in Washington's at an all-time low
  Nothing gets done,...

God
is 
a jealous God
and
He
disapproves
of
mankind
desire to
play God
but
there
is 
only one God above
who
maketh the world divine
almighty God
is
a self-creation
and
His word is 
thy 
will be done
thy kingdom come
and
we
must give 
Him
all of the 
glory and the praises...

Returning back to earth, elements five,
that that remains, is essence of presence,
spirit unfettered, here on earth to jive,
until ego stifles soul’s innocence,
whereupon veiled remains luminescence,
with attention orbiting narrow grooves,
enmeshed in desires, conscience disapproves,
remaining thus in hypnotic slumber,
bleeding needlessly under dream form hooves,
plunged in darkness, by...
