Poof
That childhood faith, vehemently spirited,
Difficult to bend, impossible to tame.
That still-cradled heart, curiously open,
Eschewing fear, shunning struggle,
Accepting of each coming day.
The journey so hazardous.
Now a cold-forged and unyielding heart 
Beats out each agonizing minute.
Jared by indolence and disappointment,
Vision unrecognizably scarred.
The journey so quickly done.
Needing to...

Premium Member Poof Proof
Ponder the lengthy life of our planet
Here we are for only a bitty blink
Many creative creatures now span it
Each having hardly enough time to think

Seemingly senseless gnashing of the truth
Turning it all about and running round
Silently stopping, then there's just poof
Leaving little trifling traces to...

Premium Member Poof of Smoke
In a Poof of Smoke, and a Raging Flame! We went running for our lives!
Dragon was at it, again! He had heartburn throughout the night, That’s Right!
You took the penguins to the Zoo, to visit friends, and ate everything in sight?
What on Earth DID you...

Premium Member Your Proof Went Poof
You always say that in America
  anyone can grow up to be President
Then you chuckle and offer
  the current President as proof

I say that your proof is no good ~ 
  He wouldn't grow up if he could...

Sole and Soul Brother Waves Magic Wand Poof
Sole (and soul) brother waves magic wand (poof)...,
and eldest sister absolved of guilt once and for all

Be happy don't worry
understood how thee feel sorry
for never defending me madam norry
(a real word meaning "woman of honor").

She (mine eldest sibling)
unfairly self burdened with blame
must jettison emotional baggage...

For Just a Split Second--- Then Poof Gone
Here as time 
as we know it
everything is 
going so fast
one moment... here
then next... 
poof.... tis gone
Nothing lasts..
Except for Eternal Life
With Our Savior Jesus Christ


I must say...
As I had seen 
Your sweetness coms...
Heart shining with Love
Beholding charm..
Sweet as Sunshine
To my heart from yours
As mine expresses...

Here We Go Poof
Here we go poof
(From China with love)

I remember kids in America
at the Bank of America
in their baggy pants, baseball hats,
   tee-shirts.
There was snow on the mountains
   clouds in-pressing to get over
   dust the sagebrush with snow.
For the life of...

Poof
Need your problem to disappear,
make that irksome trouble magically go away
Just say the word and it's done ...
Poof!
... like smoke vanishing from the barrel of a gun
Ms. I-Don't-Know-Her-Name is the person you need
How do you find her? Honey, please!
She'll find you ... provided you have...
