CBC TO ME
SATURDAY HNIC
IS NOW GONE SADLY
Seeing through emotions
And letting go of them all slowly one by one
devotion
Pain, happiness
Part of a life journey wholesome
Deftness
Enjoy
Dusted and done
Boy
Seeing through emotions
Part of a life journey wholesome
Boy

I become nostalgic
longingly when reminisce good old cheerful times
dive in quick
Romantic dreams
Fresh, hopeful, innocent dimes
Joy Screams
Why now
Unpleasant climes
Bow
I become nostalgic
Fresh, hopeful, innocent dimes
Bow

agnostics’ have no hope
they cause Christians to pray for their lost, lonely souls
can they cope?
doubting His word
they can’t believe one God controls
absurd!
speak of
One who consoles
love
agnostics’ have no hope
they can’t believe one God controls
love
Love, laughter and learning
The one with whom you can agree to disagree
Sweet yearning
Partners for life
Loving each other is the key
Man-wife
Transcend
from me to we
Blend
Love, laughter and learning
A li'l adjustment is the key
Blend

Two seamen sought to sail the sea
to see the seething sea, you see.
This could have happened in B.C.
but no — they saw the modern sea.
In 2023 A.D.
the sea was like the sea B.C.
which is unlike the CBC
with no connection to the sea
but somewhat like the BBC
which does resemble the B.C.
without the extra C., you see?
I see.
Let go of, to get to
All we see unreal, why for then confusion
Joy renew
There’s no hero
The manifest, an illusion
Zero
Thoughts stream
The conclusion
Dream
Let go of, to get to
The manifest, an illusion
Dream

In money, a zero
is the round, empty symbol that cannot transcend;
no hero.
It's worthless- yet
When added to a number's end-
you're set!
It soars!
Grants more to spend!
Scores!
In money, a zero-
when added to a number's end-
scores!

On gravel mountain path,
underneath shadowed pine crowns: friends ride mountain bikes,
where none hath
neath sapphire sky.
Roller coaster, fun lighting strikes,
runs bye.
Wearing
down bends, turnpikes,
in
swooping dust inward wrath.
Their enlivening heartbeat spikes.
Win!

Life, mixed with fun, grants hope-
this needed equalizer for our ups and downs
helps us cope.
Without real fun
to relieve stress in all we do-
we're done.
Great perks
filled with real fun
works!
to relieve stress in all we do-
this needed equalizer for our ups and downs-
works.

But, without exception,
an imprecation to the old, a shibboleth
perception
then filters through:
the final, awful end of death
in view.
To some,
just their next breath
comes.
But, without exception
the final, awful end of death
comes.

This is a minichu:
6/12/3, 4/8/2, 2/4/1, 6/8/1
Aba, cBc, dbD, ABD
I hope I have used these properly:
imprecation - curse
shibboleth - a part of speech that distinguishes one group from another,
in this case, the young from the old, distinguished by whether or not
they consider their mortality

Japan Surrenders
Japan's crimson sun disrobes a dawning night rise sky,
An elm tree parasol's her coral samurais while they lie.

A Pet Minichu
(original title) Dearest Pet
Long ago - dearest pet -
a miniature cute white Eskimo doggy
I would get.
Great joy unfurled.
A light my doggy came to be -
my world!
Lots of
this he showed me:
Love!
Long ago - dearest pet -
a light my doggy came to be -
Love!

Today's writing tip: 04/22/2021
Write a poem that's not about you.
Poetry sucks
Poetry is not
Not easy
Not to me
To be sure
To be or
Or not me be
Or else
Else me be
Elsewhere
Where deer and antelope play
Wherever
Ever sharp
Ever after
After covid
After all
All is said
All is done
Done well
Done like dinner
Diner at diner
Dinner bell
Belle of ball
Bell tolls
Tolls for me
Toll charge
Charge it
Charge me
Me me
Meme
Meme today
Memory gone
Gone gone
Gone to hell
Hell’s fury
Hellfire
Fire at the whites
Fire in their eyes
Ayes have it
Eyes of soul
Soul music
Sole survivor
Survivor Season 41
Survivor Guilt
Guilt by association
Guilty me
Me too
Me. myself and I
I
too
