with snowflakes of 
greedy gloom, 
stealing royal v...

We've already undergone a mutual metamorphosis. 
A Holocene, a drum, and an endlessly greening. 
Ding, magnetic fields, the universe's ...

For My Sake

...She speaks in lingo
Like foreigners speak gringo
In all forks of the great America
Around and out of this awesome Africa

She comes online
Doing this shows she recline
On the dawn and night of...

Words Fail Me

...Words fail me
illogic sickens our world
as we’re caught in the
dystopic distemper 
of our times.

as this ill wind blows

Poltergeist

...Poltergeist was feeling frisky
New residents were in his house
Celebrating new home drinking whisky
His ghostly presence like silent mouse.

Happy pair were quietly fluted
Snoozing cont...

Reborn

...Be reborn, departed Shakespeare
for now is truly the time to quench 
your perpetual attraction to madness.

Threatened by the cruel hounds 
of distemper and heated atmospheres,

Unwellness In Railway View

...Unwellness in Railway View

Sceptical segregational spores, 
seductresses...

Who's Saving Who

...I squeezed and held her very tight.
To try and stop her trembling fright.
I massaged her as it seemed to help.
And in return, she didn't yelp.

We gave her treatment for the fleas.
And a distem...

A Glorious Adventure

...Life on Earth is a glorious adventure
Compared to anything else, it's the absolute center
We know nothing else
It's a part of our selves
We celebrate each day that we don't have distemper...

Following Our Rules

...In our Sharing Circles
we have a ground rule
to share a one speaker at a time floor
and unitarian silent listening support

And rules to not share uninvited commentary
suggestions

A Personal Attack

...Now if I shoot at you with live ammo that's personal,
Words just don't hack it, most thoughts too bizarre

With colors that dribble, fake tears! Spayed g...

Dogs That Left Faux Paw Prints Extant Within Me Life

...lids black out and allow me to write
while eyes shut tight
bring back four legged friends sprite
and though many years passed quite

I can remember those precious creatures
