Plum blooms coated the lawn floor,
Swept from trees by wind abhor
Stars ne'er root me much concern
I'm quite taut with Earth discern
Stars, as blooms, are grand to glance

Abreast I am.
committed I am
So why not with me?
Passion and vision you demand.
Seeing less from them you crush out.

The waving feather settles firmly on you.
Tasting your fruitfulness are doctors.
Serving them with you are teachers.
Floating on top are engineers
The juicy part of you abound.

Them mourn no...

AMERICA'S NOBLEST MOTIVE
"The noble man makes noble plans, and by noble deeds he stands" Isaiah 32:8

Decoration Day, declared,
For homes and everywhere.
Flags and flowers now in vogue,
Want us to be aware.

Battles rage, war goes on,
When will it cease?
Americans died in uniform,
Remember our own, please.

Memorial Day it...

This is a story of a farmer

Who became an informer…

Displacement of this farmer

Was heartless, by a round belly

Robbing a Skinny belly

In a rock steady


See for any story

The context is essential

Like motivation,

An emotional state

Is the presence of stimuli

A thought ……..


But in this instance

There was no resistance

And...

A prime minister of Land Down Under -
from her role she had been put asunder.
I've been reading of texts
and jokes made of her sex,
but about her I still have to wonder . . .

I surmise mostly Aussies would know
more exactly why she was let go,
I...

Smile
Like I haven't in while
I'm worried
That things will never be
With the way they've been going frequently
I can't be that girl anymore
I'm always left out feeling poor
I've tried to move on and live
But I always lose my motive
Initially I like the guy 
But in the end...

Misty morning haze
Smoky skyline hues
Greyscale water colours


Sun floods milky
In smoky shades
Light losing tint


Dreary dawning
Ignominious feel
Runny colours fade


Weary spectacle
This ominous aura
No birds sing


Smoky persistence
Like old-time
Pestilence lingering


Rain rain come again
Clear the smoky haze
Let the children play!


There will be time
For non-smoky days
No haze and bronchitis


To each 
A motive
To...

I hope my soul is beating time
As heart full  feelings spill in rhyme
Sunset redness fills my eyes
Spilling tears to no surprise
The taste of memories fills my head
As purple nightfall steals the red
These things are sent to try us mother said
With that secret little half...

Irony, often, enacts comically fatal roles,
Brings dignitaries down from their highest pedestal poles; 

Sometimes, in a symbolically pragmatic costume,
Of the protagonist, destruction its role does assume;

Julia Gillard, Australian feminist Prime Minister,
Kitten heels!  Fell over public! Earned laughter sinister!

Unprejudiced slip! Humiliated tentatively!
Escorts and envoys, though,...

In a cynical world,
I cannot imagine a life ever after.
Not here, not now.
Not while we’re being watched by 
Generously,  judging eyes. 
Their gaping brings me to reside in 
Mind drilling, open regret.
Take off this weight as it
Clouds my mind and forces
My hands to tremble.
The...

HER ULTERIOR MOTIVE :
This Is ANDERSON WALKINGSHOES.... 
VERSE 1:
This is ANDERSON WALKINGSHOES... 
"Raise your head up to the sky...
Something is coming from high",
She said that as she sighed.
Of course, I didn't oppose as I did.
Unfortunately it was a lie.
I got locked up by her deceptive...

Nurture nice niche
Observe the way
Thrill touching teach
Instruct fond say
Choice charms charade
Eye each ember
Meet movements made
Yield yokes yonder
Move mystic mime
One odd obsess
Toss trouble times
Imprint impress
Vibrant verse vests
Etch each excess

gestures often referred to as 
acts of kindness, bring with 
them positive inferences & sometimes even
long term connections which can be the most
important in our lives,
certainly---
however, when speaking of those 
moments
when one acts out of nothing more than for lack of better terms---
“humanity,” or “what...

There's more to it than meets the eye,
A look we can't deny.
Beneath the surface, a hidden plan,
A secret scheme, a hidden hand.

Behind every smile, every word,
A motive, a mission, is inferred.
A hidden agenda lies within,
A purpose that's not always seen.

Sometimes it's for good, sometimes for...
