Daze Poems

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

Premium MemberLost 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 is maintaining a frenetic pace
       leaving the world in a daze

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

Premium MemberDaze 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

Premium MemberA 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

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

be damned, be

Premium MemberRangitoto 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

   I’d never seen a Fox Trot

     and Monsters like Potatoes were Mashed

Wondrous water ways Hawaiian Daze
And Daze and Daze. The Hakim 
Family wondered how long their
Stay would endure as their return 
Home was inevitable. Now as the
Ceremony ended. Everybody 
Remained in festive spirits. Saderi 
Lead the family out on the hotel
Garden where an assortment of 
Food were placed on two small 
Tables.

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

and adverse weather

can't wait for spring when we can 
picnic together
