Finding Clam For Sustenance

My feet touches the bottom land
As my feeling start to quiver damn
Scratching those toes on silty sand
In the hope I can find a clam.

Fortune pay a price in waiting
Inch by inch I'm starting to find
Boulders of clam in seabed setting
Excitement painting my mind.

Labor showing enthusiasm I confess
A hungry belly want to cook an obsess
All in all a happy one sack we possess
A laborious day harvest of clam a success.

a clam cracked open

you want the commitment,
you want to be loved -
though, you need to know me,
in order for this to work out.

i need to be free,
to not clutch my wings,
do you understand me?
that's all that i need.

don't keep me updated,
don't share any words,
i'm easily bored,
that's all that i want.

shut up, keep it quiet.
don't say anything more.
i'm not interested 
in none of your lore.

move on, just accept it,
i wont always be there,
as you're deciding 
what to reply with.

but would you change your history?
would you do the impossible,
or continue to bore me?

Protecting Ones Good Name

Protecting one's good name
Not a kid's easy card game.
Who does climbs towards fame,
Who squeezes it buys shame;
The picture not the same....

Better one an old dame,
Clinging to her good name
Than princess of just blame
In morals badly lame
One's good name is one's flame;
Really, the thing men claim. 
Thus, you must n't it maim;
Remain - not wild - the tame!

The Lord Is Near

The Lord is on our side; once again He’ll stem the tide.
Enemy onslaught will subside.  The Lord is on our side.

Our God is here; we’ll survive.  Are you swallowed up alive? 
Have you foes who stalk? connive?  Our God is here; we’ll survive. 

     God saved Noah on the ark. He  healed the Hebrews in the dark. 
     God led Jonah to the shore. He guided Peter to the door. 
     God kept Daniel in the den. He rescued Paul from angry men.
     God spared David in the fray. He  taught disciples how to pray.

At all God’s vict’ries, stand in awe;  on ev’ry front, our God, voila.
Watch Him thwart Satan’s coup d’etat, And praise Him, Jehovah Shammah.

Quintuple Clam

here she is spoke out 
doubt settling inside

here she is sharing
caring what they think

here she is waiting
rating the slow time

here she is again
penned in a type font

here she is alone
phone ringer shut off

here she is, a clam
damn, there she goes, gone

What's all this about, why are we here
Time's much too short till we all disappear
We're having so much fun
Many challenges to be won
We're happy as clams, year after year

ocean wave retreats
water spurts erupt behind
clams beneath the sand

The Clam

There once was a clam
In a shell on a beach
By a rock under sand
At low tide out of reach

Till a boy with a hat
And a pail and a rake
Moved the rock and the sand
And the clam he did take

Said the mom of the clam
“I could not be prouder,
Good luck little clam
You’ll make a fine chowder!"

Corrosional Clam Creates Calm

Talismanic turbans trade togas. How great. Short grin large grin. Big beam. And now an elephant in baggy trousers dancing. Peachtree waving. Chutney calling. Tantric trade. Tanks. Till not a tailor. Traditionalists trumpeting. One six zero. And a purple patterned silk cloth. Rice dance then. Kilowatt jewels. Oooh sparkly. Good. Hahahaha green relish. Hahahaha many many many many turrets. Xxxx Adriatic sea. *** corrosional. Z

An Ode To Clam Chowder

Oh, clam chowder, how I would love
You to be like the thing you claim you taste of.
You're seafood, soup, potatoes, all warm
And bubbling in a splendrous, thick liquid form.
Your amount of potatoes, though is extensive,
Because I guess that clam is just too expensive
To be present in amounts that meet my desires.
But I suppose you'd be too costly for buyers.
But aside from that, clam chowder, you're alright.
I'll probably still have some tonight.
