Getting wise to it
I hate that I let people waste my time.
They'll clutter my head with busy chatter
and I let them unload their garbage.
They walk away without a clue
that they have defecated on my peace.
I keep thinking they'll get wise to it
but they never do and still I say nothing
but maybe just maybe today's the day...

Clutter In Mind
Clutter In Mind
Are you free to write?
Push the clutter to the side.
Literature collected.
Writings left behind for the kids.
Anthology.
Poems published through writings.
Rhymes and Synonyms.
Clutter the mind.
Burdens are heavy.
Pen glides across the paper.
Write freely.
This is your journey.
One last poem from your dying breath.

The trap of stuff
it's baggage on our mind when we'd prefer to be free
we at once realize we've become caretakers
weighed down with the burden of responsiblity
look and resist the craving to own
enjoy things in the moment
it's surprising how little we need
seek the freedom to be open
to what comes our way
unburdened and unencumbered
stuff is the anchor to our past
we

SPIRITUAL MESS CLUTTER
Time for spiritual cleansing
Unnecessary doubt
God can work it all out
Spiritual Body in order
Remove all the uncertain clutter
Spiritual Enter
Front and Center
A savior who welcomes all in
A change that can begin
The clutter that surrounds
Enrich and be found
A Lord who knows everybody’s name
The Holy One true who isn’t lame
Heaven being the target to aim
Good News
Don’t be confused
The Devil

Bless Mess
Home is the place to be,
Except for mess, you see,
Woke up, my hair's a mess,
Fat hips a mess, I confess,
Craft den's a mess,
Home office mess bless,
Clutter made this clutter,
Simple swearing I do utter,
Went to sit in the sun,
Weeds making their own fun,
Mess multiplication,
Seed proliferation,
My brain's stinking thinking,
Into mess I've been sinking,
I sat down to laugh,
God

Put a Light in that Attic
There's a space with no light.
So much crammed up there!
Wonderful treasures in the front,
Trash in behind.
Images and memories all muddled together.
Loads of ideas and half thought out plans
scattered all over the place.
Should have had some order!
How does one clear their mind and start over?
They say prayers, patience, some guidance
and will power can put a new

Jiggety Jig
Jiggety jig, my ex. is a pig.
It's much worse since I've been gone..
One could clean every day.
He won't put things away and he even
throws trash on his lawn..
When I go there I shutter at his ability to clutter
and wonder what could he pawn..
He's not yet a hoarder but there's
no sense of order.
I just might throw

Some Where In the Fog
Somewhere in the fog is Chaucer's prologue
to those Canterberry tales.
Ms. Layton I must thank for storing it
in my memory bank which of late seems
to have paled.
No offense to Mr. Chaucer but it's way past
time to toss her before this old brain is derailed.
For some day soon I may stutter with so much
extra brain clutter but

Clutter Be Gone
Clear this clutter from my mind
So I can sleep and rest I will find
No more thoughts heading no-where
No more circles as if time to spare
Clutter be gone so tomorrow is clear
Of harrowing experiences that invite fear
Who needs all this clutter anyway?
Wouldn't it be better to simplify the day?
Make room for flowers, scents and sight
Hold a

Goodbye Clutter
Dear stuff
I own you and you don’t own me
We can’t go on co exhisting happily
I used to think that you built me up but now I realize all you do is tear me down you are just clutter I have found and I don’t need you to be around all I saw was the chaos

Promoting My Odd
Afraid that a slip
May render me maimed
I’ll likely lose grip
Of all that I’ve tamed
I’ll wind up behind
With weights on my shoes
Handicapped and blind
There’s too much to lose
I’ll never get back
To being afloat
Once knocked off the track
I’m doomed to demote
I haven’t the strength
When I’m overwhelmed
To go to the length
And be homeward bound
I

Clutter
clean out
the closet
and unhook your woes
from all hangers.
all are much too soiled
to be worn
by your disillusioned heart.
sweep up the debris
and clear out
the heaping pile
of suppressed pain
and untrustworthiness
taking up
all the space
in your broken heart
to create enough room
to let people in
once again,
for love's light
to shine through.
Second Chance For

Crumble Thoughts
As I write down my thoughts
On paper, of where I want to be
A year from now or
Will I get married, be a movie star
My thoughts changes quickly
And I crumble up my paper and
Try to start over
I’ll pull out another piece
Of paper, looking at it while
Trying to clear the cobb-webs
From my head
Which seems to distract
