And letting go of them all slowly one by one

I become  nostalgic 
longingly when reminisce good old cheerful times
dive in quick

Fresh, hopeful, innocent dimes
Joy Screams

Why now
Unpleasant climes
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

Spouse

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

shadowy silhouette
uncertainty ripping through unravelling mind
cheeks get wet

tears roll in fear
acrophobia grips confined
comes near

To See the Sea You See

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.

Premium Member Power of Zero

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

Premium Member Zero Minichu


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!

Premium Member Roller Coaster Ride On Mountain Bikes

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!

Premium Member Let's Minichu On Fun


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.

Premium Member The Final, Awful End

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!

Else me be

All is done
Done well
Done like dinner

Belle of ball
Bell tolls
Tolls for me
