Hoarding Hope - the Odd BallGet me feeling well
For, I am sick as hell
Brain orgasms and headaches rape my mind and left me thoughtlessly behind
Trying to keep the Kingdom in remembrance before I grow blind or lose my mind
I am under sin's spell
Can’t everyone tell?
I am wanting joy like...

Something Odd Goin' OnWhat's up?
What's going on?
How come it's 3AM?
And bright as noon?
Have I finally made it
Into a Looney-Tune?
Who left me a hot breakfast,
Then disappeard?
How the hell did I
Overnight grow a green beard?
And that new Lamborgini
In my driveway
Painted purple, black,
and red, each a circle round
Am I a mad...

Once married a shrew,
And they set up housekeeping
In an old tennis shoe.

"Odd Lovers"
I feel your reign o’er my warm skin
your eyes cast their burning cerebral majesty
sharp diamonds cool blue sky twinning rays
the same time dawn and dusk glistening towards me
like the rapturous Sun in debate with boiling Ocean
I am Queen’s Land, nubile and unconquered
a spent...

The Odd SOCKAt our house we had what was called an ‘odd sock drawer,
A place which the whole family could keep odd socks to store.
Quite often the matching sock was to be seen no more.
When the drawer became quite full Mum declared war.
She bought a sizable pack...

Over-Odd: Eh What's Real-Eye-Ablebody builders have an ab-sense
girdles are just an abs-tractions
to communicate is to accomplish-'meant'
to know your limits means know-'ledge'
too much wine means too absorb-'bent'
a purebred can be a cat-as-'trophey'

Proud To Be OddHe is a failure, my cousin Tee said.
How so?
He had two businesses, neither of them made it.
Yes, he is a loser, Cousin Dexter chimed in.
What were they?
A bakery, and a laundry mat.
So he can bake and do laundry! I said smartly. Sounds like...

Odd HoursThe world is asleep
But I, awake
She lies in slumber deep
While I, the hours, take
The world is asleep
But I, awake
She lies in slumber deep
While I, the hours, make
The world is asleep
But I, awake
She lies in slumber deep
While I, the hours, rake
The world is asleep
But I, awake
She...

Odd HoursIt’s four AM
I’m wide awake
no chance of more sleep
clicking noises
from the dining room
low hum
is it voices?
I get up
pad into the dining room.
daughter and grandson
playing Yahtzee
at the dining table
laughing together
grandson worked late
daughter insomniac
I sit down
join the game
daughter finally
peels off for more sleep
grandson and I
continue playing
he...

The Odd CoupleThere was a little girl that never quite seemed to fit in
out of step with a world that seemed to her full of sin
No matter what she did or tried there always was a gap
that seemed to grow even when she sat on her dads...

Odd Petaled Daisya chance meeting
digits fleeting
each I could recall
days so lazy
odd petaled daisy
I gave you a call
from one hello
how would I know
in love I would fall
would not our fate
cooperate
you loved me not at all
fifty Summers passed
they seemed so fast
then another Fall
and in the end
we became friends
under daisy's...

Odd Cultural Topics Written: August 29, 2023
______________________________________________________________
In a world of normal minds, they say,
As thoughts are bound in an adducible way,
A crucial realm of wisdom, often quoted,
Resides in books, yet remains unnoted.
What matters to those commonsensical souls?
Who dread leaving their safe zones of control,
Who adheres to the...
