DOMINOES

When I was young I loved opening a new box of dominoes from the store
and setting them up in different patterns all across the floor.

After setting up every domino in the box…every domino…one and all…
I’d topple the first one into the second…sit back…and watch all the dominoes fall.

The older I got the more intricate and

GRATITUDE DOMINOES

To begin this new year…a year of uncertainty…
a year, like every year, where I don’t know what’s in store…
I’ve decided to begin each day by writing down 
something I am grateful for.

I have found while dancing through life’s beautiful
but sometimes intricate and difficult ballet
remembering at least one thing I am grateful for
is a great way

Naive Dominoes

Some easily fall prey to the pranks of friends
Others seriously victimized subsequently fall,
Serious victims experience the saddest ends
They are the most pitiable victims after all.

Others seriously victimized subsequently fall
Like naïve dominoes lined up for a parlor trick
They are the most pitiable victims, after all,
Unwittingly preyed upon as being weak or sick.

Like naïve dominoes lined up

Dominoes

Dominoes©: Songwritten not a poem. ??

If it's your turn
To f*** me over then just 
Knock the bones down
I can hear them. Crashing now
So just do it. Just push one
Watching the domino effect. It's begun 
It's too late. Karmas come back around

Hello old friend. You'd be proud that
It wasn't me who f***ed up again. Not this

Dominoes

When two parts of my life cross paths
I can't resist some smiles
Although they may diverge
By many years and many miles.

My aunt, who just turned 89,
Plays dominoes for fun
And calls to tell me, with a laugh, 
How many times she's won.

Today my grandkids came to play
In our vacation place,
Discovering their dad's old toys,
Soon strewn about the

Kicking Dominoes

KICKING DOMINOES

nonsense utter nonsense plays out
dominoes don’t just get knocked down
they get kicked down
you’ve not been attacked
and no one’s hurt you on purpose
you forgot to consider
all the facts
now you’re the one
hurting on purpose
shame…
               shame…

Dominoes Quatern

I learned to win at Dominoes
To topple each one of my foes
It does not matter their standing
For on the floor they’ll be landing

Once I figured who to depose
I learned to win at Dominoes
Of whom each boss I’d tip over
To enact a full takeover

I used to try to gain by fraud
But quickly saw that that was

Dominoes Falling

Dominoes Falling

I wake as the rain greets me on 
the face
To realize you wept until your 
bliss was drained
From edges of lips well licked 
Lies the deepest desires that 
Brought 
Two broken souls to a Valley 
long forgotten

Scream now, my dear, for this 
we live for,
Each cut thrusting us towards 
divinity’s floors
As this rush has

Dominoes

what once stood up now, no longer
like dominoes, one knocking over the other
all laying neatly in a straight row
with a clicking sound as down it goes

each connected by the dots
never enough when I draw my lot
what I once had and now haven't got
never even get to take a shot

too much time to stand them up
once

Dominoes

I love playing dominoes with you honey 

The way you react when you have no move is funny 

We both sound like we are playing for prize money 

And I laugh so hard it makes my nose runny 

  

I love you even though you beat me at it all the time 

The way
