The boy and the tree
A boy found an acorn upon the ground
Under a tree which, uncaring left it around
Knowing its chances he lifted the nut
And found on its side a little T shaped cut
He brought it home to a field so large
Making the seed his own personal charge
And with this new precious creed
Under soil he planted the seed
Twas quite

Lost in a Daze
On Kensington Avenue, many lose their souls
Drugs have consumed them, and they've lost control
They are walking like zombies in search of a high
They need one more 'hit' just to get by
They seem to have passed the point of no return
All hope seems lost, and their bridges burned
They stay

Trump's First Fifty Daze

leaving the world in a daze
I don’t agree with everything he’s done

Snow Daze
White powder is softly falling out there,
And the temperature is getting low,
But I, in my soft fleece, am warm in here.
I hear the sound of those having a scare,
As they slide down their driveways even though,
White powder is softly falling out there.
Cars and trucks are still wrecking everywhere,
For no one knows how to drive in

Daze of Bright Ages
Dies, where did time go?
Lies, when I’d wrinkle slow.
Lids of eyes, crow's feet stomp.
Lads look away, see no pomp.
Lady, your silver hair is dyed.
Lazy joints take me for a ride.
Hazy is my history and mind.
Haze of clarity - need to rewind.
Maze of the season - nevermind.
Daze of bright ages, realigned.
Dame hears “Ho! Ho!,” fine silver

A School Daze Turn
'Tis off to the races now that homeschooling has ended.
One half earns for their subsistency,
other half learns about delinquency.
Be they friends and their best efforts were suspended.
Tale spring muses as the anticipant's
appraised specifies traditional hopes
load stages standard addictive transplants
secured cognitive lodestar prolonged copes.
Missteps venture the wide-eyed sneeze, and runny nose

Daze of Childhood
Townie corner boys
(a synonym for a**holes)
won't leave me alone...
bully me, hit me, hurt me,
leave me there filled with...relief
Each day at boys school
I am told I don't belong...
(I'm not an athlete)
so I am treated with scorn
by my peers AND my teachers
"You are retarded!"
Can't tell you how many times
I heard that insult
(my own academic prowess
be damned, be

Rangitoto School Daze
In my youth's frolic at King Lear and Pi
all my daze was a Shakespearean tale.
Not algebra, not prose did edify
yet test and limits we pass lest we fail.
To learn and open closed minds to ideas
but I learnt before a fall comes a pride
with a conspiracy one alone bears

Daze Go Bye
Lately you've gone soft
You've gotten lazy
Used to to be the things you did
At least would faze me
Now it all rolls off my back
Fade to black
New scene
Same theme
You amaze me

In the Daze of the Dance Craze
I’d never seen a Fox Trot

in agony I’d Shout
But when a Hully became a Gully
and Monsters like Potatoes were Mashed

WINTER DAZE-FLY--
winter's temperate.
towards cold outside yet it was;

why? in the dead of,
winter so I spy flutters;
tiny buzzzz whoosh-FlY?

Stay would endure as their return
Home was inevitable. Now as the

Remained in festive spirits. Saderi
Lead the family out on the hotel
Garden where an assortment of
Food were placed on two small
Tables.

WHERE ARE THE ANTS ON WINTER DAZE-
winter asks where are
ants crawling are they working
below ground are they
~
are they nestled and
warm this February morn
17 days from spring
~
hidden away just
below the cold and snow winds
and adverse weather
~
O' Hallelujah
can't wait for spring when we can
picnic together
