mercy on the lam
empathy declared a sin~
love against the grain
***
Declared a coffee
it had to stand
And honor all
that made it brand
To say it sat
for just the cause
Of telling others
voted plaus
Sweat and saliva
The dual to shine in the game of cricket
Saliva caught by virus
Sweat rushed to be alone at the wicket!
God Eloquently Declared An Edict
God eloquently declared an edict;
What about Trump He will predict,
Was thine,
Not mine;
Of interest did end up in a conflict.
Jim Horn
Trimp Was Declared A Dilettante
Trump was a chimp declared a dilettante;
Who had ended up becoming a confidant;
A chip off block;
Bunch of crock;
With horrible things us he had to haunt.
Jim Horn
Born all full of corn
A certificate of deposit love's purchase to prepare
Penning love's earnest with liberal flare
Inscribing title and documenting deed no meager fare
Tapping into literary vault of esteemed relics your assets to pare
Initiating votive contract no trite chare
For with your appreciating qualities can none compare
Each cuddly rhyme; each sentimental stare
Bonds my pen; binds our charming affair
Each bartered simile your value lays bare
Every metonymic expression love's affadavit will swear
Each titilating allusion; a lien your affections to ensnare
Each pawned metaphor our liabilities will pair
Every allegorical kiss my life's lease will square
Every affable alliteration increases your stock a share
My hyperbolic soliloquy your dividend will declare
My epilogue tendered, 'my devotion exchanged for your care'
What If War Were Declared.
Would you serve or lay low?
Here's another What If question.
What If War Were Declared,
but both country's citizens and military refused to go.
Wouldn't that be amazing? That's something I would really love to see,
but I doubt such an event will ever be logged in future books of history,
but who knows? Maybe this idea I just shared has just planted a seed
that can be nourished by others with great vision, causing such an event to succeed.
Beauty that compares to none,
Radiates downward from the sun,
Seeing the brightness above,
Warms our body with love,
This first face of love, which showed,
Total and complete passion that glowed,
His face, though never known, at all,
Still we have all heard his call.
The glow, which glistens in a newborn child,
Shines back from the mother, meek and mild.
True, she felt pain upon this traveled soul,
She will give shelter and pay the toll.
Upon the day, this child leaves the guiding nest.
The beauty of many faces fulfills the rest.
Love and compassion, which had been set,
Replenishes itself in others, they may not fret,
Seeing many faces of love, always unprepared,
They will find intimacy of warm feelings, as declared.
