Best Planning Poems

In China, they’re delighted
For the government just said
They could have a second child – 
The old policy is dead.

Though there must be celebration,
There is silence there instead.
Streets are practically deserted – 
All the Chinese are in bed!...

And under out thumb
To grope the greatest proportion"...

Zoning by micro-climates my
Yards' spaces, and then
Xeriscaping them to conserve
Water because of the drought, I can
Visualize neat straight furrows
(Under colorful vines
Trailing red, green, and purple grapes)
Saturated with various seedlings:
Radishes, squashes, sprouts, etc.
Quietly absorbing sunlight, and
Pushing roots deeper into my
Organically amended soil.
Nasturtiums, previously planted,
Misdirect insects away...

PLANNING ADULTERY

Heard his footstep spring upon the stair and stop--
Heard his hand upon the cold brass knob ...and click--
Held her arms as open as her wandering heart could bear--
Heralded her fall...

First, imagine, if you can,
"Love" is not just a many splendored thing,
although it is that,
but behaviorists and existentialists behavioralize
the complex of emotions and consciousness
wearing that synergetic label
as active, sometimes spontaneous
"cooperation,"
an antonym for "competition."

Now,
Imagine you grew up
in a language
where "sacred"
and "spiritual"
are synonymous with proactive soul "cooperation."

And
"secular"

Christmas comes with planning,  
who are you buying gifts for.  
What to get them,  
what to eat.  
Oh well I took the batteries out of my scale,  
one problem solved, hooray!!!...

He, as a young man did aspire,
To early in life retire.
A savings plan he began,
To which he continually ran.
Better planning this did require...

To try out a new poem form.

To give more than to receive.

To make calls to the lonely.

To envision peace, not unrest.

To forgive and to forget.

To joyfully encourage others.

To take a needed news vacation.

To really be attentive with my pet.

To honor and embrace my past.

To welcome...

You’re the woman I see in my heart
On this day I finally know I can honestly say
That all my prayers have been answered 
In such a big way
My girl is coming home 
Now, at last, we don't have to roam 
Because soon baby you won't...

It pays to be prepared for possibilities
None of us know what the future brings
Some of us may face unwanted setbacks
Before the proverbial "fat lady sings."

Things we never could've imagined
Unforeseen illness, a sudden accident
Things happen that we least expect,
Things happen that seem never meant.

Preparation for the...

Gardens, houses, metaled roads, no tractor and mower
Speed limit grows in reverse, bigger and slower
Brick and concrete slowness teks ower
Sixty, forty, to thirty, where does it stop ?
Down to twenty wi’ houses on top

The infrastructure is little
Planners and government fickle
Greenbelt is pointless and brittle
Farmers berated...
