every word she utters maligns, defames and shames
she slurs, slips, and slanders
an expert, she tears down and villainizes
people she knows and people she has never met
no one wants to sit next to her at dinner parties
no worries
she is no longer invited
Tribute to our limerick humorist, Tom Cunningham.
This poem written as response to his poem: WINTER’S END HUMOR
DEFAMATION OF CHARACTERS AT WINTER’S END
This Tom is a son of a gun, “Oh shoot!”
Exclamation blunt as this poet coot
Defames one more fellow,
With ink makes him bellow.
Another slipknot, “Oh shoot!”

WHEN NO ONES LOVES YOU BE STILL ALL YOU NEED IS JESUS-
someone's deplore you;
someone shuns you;
someone ignores you;
someone just doesn't love you..
\
don't run away;
just stand
be still
all you need is Jesus
all you need is Jesus
all you need is Jesus
He is standing by your side
someone just doesn't love you..
when someone hates you
when someone defames you
when someone curse you
don't be sadden, nor blue
someone's deplore you;
someone shuns you;
someone ignores you;
someone just doesn't love you..
\
don't run away;
just stand
be still
all you need is Jesus
all you need is Jesus
all you need is Jesus
He is standing by your side
When your heart is broken
When you have a broken heart
When you feelings have fallen apart
Love stalls and you run
Just stand still, Jesus got the battle for He's already won
don't run away;
just stand
be still
all you need is Jesus
all you need is Jesus
all you need is Jesus
He is standing by your side

GUESS WHO
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
comparing bodies
infants... my buttons bigger
you've lost your willie
~~~
moral support
give to receive
he knows not the words
~~~
we wonder
he wanders
the fool
~~~
he knows not the words
defames friends... world leaders too
retrograde... no sage
Our freedom of expression
is protected by the Constitution,
which Thomas Jefferson and James Madison,
among others, wrote to protect our rights.
The Constitution clearly states
that this is an undeniable right.
I like to post comments on Facebook
and this blog, " Americans Against Trump "
is abusing what that freedom really means:
obscene comments shouldn't be allowed.
Dirty and offensive poetry is being written,
even comments that mock and insult
President Trump defames his character:
have some Americans gone mad?
Who are the trolls and bullies among us?
The next thing we'll hear
on all national news channels:
" President Trump has signed a new bill,
forbidding hateful comments,
and that includes obscene poetry;
if Congress passed it, many would be angry.

THE MEADOW
Spread
Neath umbilical sky
On nutrient Earth
She stands alone this noon
Surrounding woods
Mountains
Distant structures
Seem to encase the lush green plot
Have taken on a sunny sheen
Then there is this peaceful babbling brook
running through
sparkling
wetly whispering
GOD!
What an ecstatic vision!
But wait!
Come
Lie down on fairy moment’s colorful hay
Smell the wild flowers
Hum a happy tune
Then Listen!
Oh!
Below!
A wild bacchanal defames all empyrean image
Slither-slide –
Bunnies mice POP!
Bees dragonflies
Winged squadrons buzzing BANZAI!
A billion glassy eyes of every size
Looking for kill
Or pre-empting demise
Shiny black bugs on nature’s green rug
Distant
The sound a staccato wheeze
A high wire din
Like one hundred tortured violins
Then rise
Return to that simpler view
Smile in wonder
That nothing in nature is static
And wonder what’s going on inside of you?
Dave Austin
Why that I turn you murmur
Why plot against the innocent
Truly, the one you love
Is the one to destroy you
Coz death always smile at you
They're dear to your heart
They look feint and smile with you
Showing snowy, cruel kindness teeth
When you cry
They shed crocodile tears with you
But in heart rejoicing in your misery
Still asleep, open your eyes
Coz you're better off
Such two timing perfidious hypocrites
Who defames you
Not all around you are on your side
Remember, you're on your own
Jesus said via the writing of Prophet Matthew in the Book of Matthew that,
There will be war and famine.
There will be famine and war.

To learn it, somebody had to do it.
When manifested by God, it is insight into the future.
Therefore…
Who did it to the universe?
Who did it to the world?
Who did it to the people on Earth, all in the name of power?
Sex pornogrifies
Drugs defames
Playboy industry
Rogues’ domain
Somebody had to do it.
This is only way it can be learned.
God’s manifestations enlighten.
Who did it to the universe?
Who did it to the world?
Who did it to the people on Earth, all in the name, which is righteous?
Money made
Greed defined
Crime scene
In where you fit in
Henceforth…
Do it to the universe.
Do it to the world.
Do it to the people on planet Earth.
Do it all in the name of power!

PENNED ON SEPTEMBER 26, 2014!
Brass that masquerades as gold,
Fit for any photo-fit, a counterfeit concealed.
I know, I know you,
Hiding naive amber under the Sun,
When you need not be devalued.
Glass that tries a diamond life
Won't shine the same despite its cut.
Not fit for their crowns-
The product of sand and not finer science-
But you don't need to be.
Gold is silent; brass can sing,
Your panes aren't made from diamond rings.
To change the way you were when born
Defames the way I love your form.
Goddess breasts
And King rage
Stood atop high mountain
Within fog-haze heaven fountain
Proclaimed animosity
Seduction she destruction he
Planned in intricate intimate detail
Spanned thoughts depths good to evil
Delve deeper death
Devolve life or rotting unto another
Devoid they’ll stumble crumble
Rubble stubble see the wonderful
Beautiful ending chaos of love
Passionate embracing commences
****** finalizing hatred
Defenses halt all faltering attraction
Poison words become self-preserving reaction
Pitiful pitiless human race
Crass species welcoming defeat
Relieve relent life strife
This wife is now beaten bloody
Barren dragon satan devil spawn
Celestial snow painted blood-red
We are dead
Time reduces marvelously
Flesh erodes bloated bones
Appear traveler near observes
Immortals on high crying softly
Falling Olympus’ shroud tainted dyed
Maroon amber streams
Skeleton’s romance remains
Defames other’s vows
Promised hours till reaper doth part
Wedding bands golden
These eyes have beholden
Affection surpassing eternal sleep
Redemption veiled with mystery.
