Premium Member Don'T Leave Me Hanging
Don't leave me hanging sis!


I came out of nowhere with an agenda on the mind
Joining the soup to be near my favorite love
a game I did not plan to play
Until he called upon the first round.
giving it my best shot
Then came round three and more....

I came out of no where with an agenda on the mind.
Joining the soup to be near my favorite one
knowing she is not hard to find
a game I did not plan to play
Until he called upon the first round.

Premium Member Molly My Watch-Bird
Well I could write endlessly about Frankie my cute English bulldog,
But when it comes to being a good watchdog, she’s closer to a log.
I do however have a pet that notifies us if someone is approaching,
She has taken it upon herself to do this faithfully...

Poet's Therapy
Why am I treated so differently
It feels like every action I make no matter what it may be
Results in me being criticized by those around me
Am I taking them to seriously? I’d often ponder
So every once in a while I tried to relax, but 
It’s...

Want To Do Your Best
Want To Do Your Best

Eagle was with white wings which were elegant
And wherever he would fly or even had went
Was majestic, glorious and also so mighty
Taking all things seriously and never lightly.

Flew with fine effort that he could not quit
And every time his mate had...

Be a Friend To Someone
Be a friend to someone.
Don't walk life's path alone.
'Man is not an island.'
We cannot thrive on our own.
We need the company of others
To help ease a troubled brow.
Someone we can share with, or.
If we don't understand to show us how.
Someone that we can talk to
Who...

World of Clowns
There's no reasonable explanation
To how this all went down
When the world woke up one morning
All made up as clowns

Not a single person in the world 
Did this phenomenon not claim
With big red buttons on their chests 
Spelling out new funny names

There was Patches and Petunia
Floppy...

In Pieces
In pieces,
A moment of resurrection,
From the empty grave
A cradle 
Where chained in silent reverie
Lies my pride with my past.
Fatherhood lends grounding
An understanding of purpose
Like an oak
Grows older
Sinks deeper into the earth
Becomes one with it
And is trapped.

Everything I write
is repetition these days.
I feel I’ve lost my...

The Power Connection
Every time I react
I give my power away
Then I forget who I am
As fear pulls me astray

I forget this education
Taking things so seriously
This world is like Harvard
I'm getting a soul degree

I always base my worth
On that symbol of lack     $ $...

Premium Member Life Charges Up and Down Hills
Life charges up and down hills so fast
One day you are biting your cousin
And they are laughing because you are two.
But not your cousin of course.

In a blink of a wild flower,
you are clunking around in Mommy’s heels.
Thinking you are “all that”
because tomorrow you start...

Premium Member Microbe the Master Magician
Microbe the Master Magician had a lot to say
He swished his cape in an all-knowing way
Deep inside his role, he did not laugh or play
Taking his costume seriously on Halloween day

Want to visit grandma down at the San Francisco Bay?
No thanks he said, she would...

Kindergarten Earth
There are no adults here.. 
Only confused kids. 
Children under the delusion that they know what they're doing.
Youngsters playing make-believe in a world they perceive so solidly.
Every one a narrator, a role-player. Everyone.. 
Leads in our own stories. 
Every thing we can imagine, we can...

Premium Member Learning About Patience
Always rushing Always faster
At times I thought I had it coming
That one day due to my impatience
I may be struck blind and forced
To learn my lessons the hard way
Not taking life so seriously
Stop to savor moments
Sometimes stay on the sidelines
Instead of always racing around the...

Premium Member His Nose Is Broken
Two serious girls with long dark hair.
Enter the school office loudly and proudly. 
Their voices are shrill.
Their eyes are huge.

They are half carrying a classmate.
He is their charge, and they are taking this job seriously.
The girls do all the talking as they drag him 
Past...
