A tale of meraki

Overcome by the burden she sat teary eyed
Holding closely her two little boys by her side
Immersed in sorrow they had endlessly cried
After her loving husband had suddenly died.

Soaring from her seat elated with newfound joy,
Making herself a promise with an assured ploy,
She...

out in the county and up the highway
anger hangs like lost voodoo over Miami
dances on bumperstickers
floats on airwaves
scars faces with perpetual glares
colors perceptions darkly
alters moods and
drives young men to football coaches
then army recruiters

anger that beats stepchildren
hunts coyotes for pleasure
and hangs corpses on barbed-wire fences
anger that...

Out in small town Texas, a handshake is a deal.
Folks go to church on Sunday, say grace at every meal.
Men open doors for ladies, kids say sir and ma'am.
Boys can't wait to join the Corps, and serve their Uncle Sam.

But if you were to go...

I have so many places/acts dear to my heart
I’m just dying to share some with you

As she towers above...

Coaching Little League was Dad’s greatest joy
My brother Artie always got a hit
Proud Pop would smile and say, “That’s my boy!”
I would cheer too, but then my brow would knit

It seemed unfair that I could not partake
In a sport that consumed much of Dad’s time
“Put...

'Tis so nice at Christmas time to receive a colorful array of cards,
From kith and kin sending their warmest Yuletide regards.
I don't mind receiving bills or a summons to serve on a jury,
But opening a card and finding a Noel letter causes me some fury!

Such...

You think not of life, but of the moon:
still and white.  August wind chimes
like sweet bones sound a tune
of twenty-three; the somber age
when you will die
and summer turns another page.

Each capsule is a sparrow
downed with whiskey, all thought
is instinct now,
words are deep within the...

Your true dearest point when you harbored Dear dreams
And then you discover life’s not what it seems
Like abandoning hopes at an age Fresh and Young
Did you have an idea that it’ll last so long

For you left your dear home at only 18
And sent to Iraq...

My brother David met William Geris
A former head of state of Utopia
Having dinner in the city of Paris
They talked about big things

Compassion
upholding helpfulness 
toward better lives…
Such is the seed embedded along plots
of noble charitable institutions
to bloom along their vision-mission-goals
as well as to blossom 
like flowers beautifying communities
then producing laudable fruits 
effectively becoming assets and blessings, too.

Such is the ideal
and the supposed-to-be anchor
bracing up foundations 
funded by...

College educations certainly aren't readily available to all.
Some are totally awed by exorbitant tuition expense.
Boys and girls of good intenions must apply
for available scholarships as soon as possible,
expecting to adhere to academic rules
and demanding of themseves only best efforts.
Starting as freshmen in highschool, ambitious students
aim...

There is no rhyme nor reason
For Christmas shopping season
Only during this season do you find out things you never knew
Like 80 year old women get football scholarships to BYU
An old man saw a dress that was just his wife’s style
So he tackled the woman holding...

If I was God,
I would have put the forbidden fruit a bit higher
So Eve wouldn't reach it
I wouldn't just make it forbidden, i would hire Joe Biden
With his whole army to guard it
I would have given Trevor Noah to Adam the moment he told me...
