Dotted Poems

Sign on the line that is dotted

They just want your money.
Just want your wealth.
Meagre or major they’ll take it all else.

Post sale and the manner changes in tone.
Commission awarded - it’s time to go home.

They’ll try to convince you that you need it to live!
They’ll try to persuade you that you’re doing the right thing.

But they just want your money. They’d

In the silky night, dotted with mystery

In the silky night, dotted with mystery,
Where the moon's thread weaves shadows on the paths,
The heart, a thin garment, a flash in the ether,
Listens as the time from the hourglass seeps away,
And its rhythm, a song from the depths, beats within me
Like an echo of an ancient tune budding anew.
With longing gathering silences and fears

Dotted Line

Sign on the dotted line
You'll be just fine
There goes your life
There goes your wife
Twenty more years
Many more tears 
There goes all my pay
Wallets running on empty today
Can't afford to play
Once was a free man understand
Now your standing in quicksand 
Which way is up or down
Its why do you wear that frown
Pay for my house
But can't

In Dotted Code

Can't keep refusing it's on the hands of you
Is this the haunting image of hell I view?
So, to care or plead for my discreet silence 
Weak hands are calling to you for guidance 
Praying to get help for feelings that permeate
Like watching, hurting, rolled down a sewer grate
Gentle hands tapping a telegraph in dotted code
Seek

Dotted Or Crossed

Well, do I dot my t's 
     and cross my i's
   No, I think I dot my p's
     and cross my c's ...

   I just can't remember
     so I'll give this a try
   I'll draw a line

Pink Polka Dotted Kewpie Doll

I try to paint
with a shock I realize it is giving me no thrill
No joy; for the first time in six years
I return to the middle bedroom 
darkest, gloomiest room in the house
turn on my electric blanket and go to sleep

wake up wondering if it is morning or night? Does it matter?
I am on strong

State of Being

State of Being

       (written for Mike Eslinger)

The herons fly overhead,
Flapping past, swooning cclouds,
Scaring cats, who
Along with their feline cousins

Don’t realize they aren’t the be all end all
At all.  Stop bothering to sit so aloof.
Lick your paws and listen: there’s a God above,
Who, if he hadn’t given us humans

Pyromaniac a Polka Dotted Tit Mouse

The polka dotted tit mouse was not tame.
She did not like faeries, it was her claim.
She loved dogs, had a female great dame.
Serendipity was her doggie’s name.
Polka dotted tit mouse had one big aim.
A pyromaniac, she loved a flame.
Burned a forest but never took the blame.
I know this may sound a little bit lame.
But burning

Polka Dotted Fish

I just caught a polka dotted fish
It certainly wasn't my wish
I'd rather see one
Than be one
Cause he's still going on my dish

A Dotted Line

And I drew a dotted line
Down my heart in graphite
One half for me
The other for the stars at night
And every drop in the sea
Because I couldn't give it to a person
(They always leave)
So if I gave it to the world
All the stormy clouds in the sky
My love would never wither 
My love would never die

Polka Dotted Flowers and Polka Dotted Bells

Polka dot flowers and polka dot bells.
Polka dot everything, for me and sweet Nells.
Polka dot hilarity. Polka dotted laugh.
Polka dot it is. Polka dotted calf.

Can you believe in my new spic span polka dotted world?
Polka dot magic, clean and quickly lovingly unfurled?
Polka dot skin, and I am one who should know.
Freckles and age spots, truly

Silly Mug, the Red Polka-Dotted Pug -Wiz

Oh, I’m nothing but a red polka-dotted pug. 
I’m silly and smug and my name is Mug.
      I need to see the Wiz to remove these dots, 
I don’t care of he has to peel, pull and tug,
      I’m just so sick of these red

The Boy With the Dotted 'Brella

 
It was raining and so great to play,
outside-  though the blue sky was gray.
Oh, an adventure to embark,
to run and fly like a skylark!
But, my sister blocked the doorway.

So, I thought up a getaway,
quiet, I tiptoed on the parquet.
Dotted 'brella and me to park!
It was  r a i n i n g

The Dotted Semibreve

When you get to the king’s palace
My brother
Whenever you get the chance to sit and dine with the king
Do not raise your shoulders so high,
So high above the level of your head
Do not ask him for too many favors
Do not stir up old quarrels
Never should you reflect upon the past bone of contention;
Remember all those

The Dotted Line

The Dotted Line

 

Americans today don’t know their way,

But that’s with one exception.

The folks that sign that dotted line,

And pledge without deception.

To serve their country faithfully,

And protect us all from those,

Who’d do us harm, who’d bring us down,

Both foreign and domestic foes.

These veterans all deserve due praise,

From this grateful nation.

For their sacrifice to risk their
