Coping with the loss of Preadolescence

I wish I had something better to write
I wish I’d mold the perfect gold for you to hold
And hug so tight

Wish I could go back to the days when we were both young
Hold the hands of my parents and the house that I was from

Prick a wall and take some bricks
Stick it all into my

Coping With Bad News

A great wonder Kim’s legs still carried him.
A lot in Sam’s remarks still worried him:
The Sam who’d been watching Dolly and Kim
Right from the day Kim was trapped by The Slim!
Sam’s bold comment on his adjudged folly;
His saddling of self with the cries of Dolly…
“How could one fund release to a non wife:
On hard-to-catch dollars

Coping With Cancel Culture

Instruction which refuses to clearly break through
bigotry has no place in a person’s world view.
Mock training which teaches selective tolerance
eclipses the sure light that honest study grants.
Copious clouds of questions are left unanswered;
bewildering our brains so beliefs become blurred.
To own one’s education needs safe oversight;
hardened clay can not be remolded overnight.
One’s free exercise of spirit,

Coping With Death of a Loved One

The earth form born, will one day die
Why then do we, in deep grief sigh
Ephemeral not eternal
What makes us then delusional

Moment to moment in stillness 
We recognise true being-ness
Yet mired in attachments, we grieve
How may we, threads of clear truth weave

(syllabic rhyme)

Coping With Loss of a Loved One

Let not the pain 
Innocence stain 
Within the void of emptiness 
Lies promise of vibrant fullness 
Shifting from the external ephemeral 
To the internal eternal 
Beyond transient mind body identity 
Truth of oneness and life eternal continuity 
We recognise that nothing lost, only veiled 
Within our heart glows Gods love unstained

Coping With Poo

COPING WITH POO!

Two young boys left in charge of a baby,
A recipe for disaster that’s no maybe,

Take baby to the local fair,
Without a care, they did dare,

Head for the whip, put baby on one of their laps,
She has missed one of her afternoon naps,

Is out of her comfort zone, she has a big poo,
It’s really

Coping With the Unknown

I fancy that I am competent  
To write on the theme of fear—
Only because I have spent much of my life in fear
 And thus seem to know the emotion inside out!

Now, coping with fear 
Is something like coping with the unknown.
For irrational fears, like phobias and phrenias,
The solution is probably to self-learn—
To remain

Coping With Age

COPING WITH AGE

Age can steal our running legs
And drain our mighty arms
but it doesn’t change the great North Sea
or dim its vibrant charms

The winter sea has strength and grace
Its power shades of grey
Blue mists will kiss the faintest hearts
North winds blow aches away

Raw nature is magnificent
True courage does not age
A hearty soul does not count

Coping With Hard Economic Times

Coping With Hard Economic Times

By Elton Camp

Each new generation was richer than the one before
But it looks like that will never be the case anymore

It seems young families might as well expect to see
What economists now describe as the “new reality”

Their parents came to have a house and a nice car
It will be hard for

Coping With the Pain

How can it be true that I’m hurting once again?
  When one tragedy ends another one soon begins
Fighting back tears, I smile to fool you all
   Despite all of the pain, trauma, and hate I haul
For people, places and all of the small things
   It’s scary what anger the memories
