Almost Engaged
Youthful Israeli embassy couple,
almost engaged,
gunshots fired in the May DC eve,
murdered sweethearts,
hate, it never pauses,
almost had hope,
shalom to the world. ~

COMPLETE ENGAGED SORROW-
a shoulder to cry on;
my arms open wide to receive an embrace...
COMPLETE ENGAGED SORROW
hands ever grasping for the tenderness
my heart beats in place,
COMPLETE ENGAGED SORROW
We whom are just flowing energy
Complete
those clear streaming tears you shed for me
sorrowful and so sweet

Engaged
The moon tinged in frost,
Sparkling with Geminids, hints
Of the ring he gave.

Friendship
In the good and bad times
It's a lack of friendship sometimes.
On a new year's birthday
it's one less friend
with a nice word to say.
A lot of talking on the net
all engaged to a web.
Friendship colour changed
as a chameleon with no face.
In the good and bad times
we look at many sides.
We open our heart
for the ones

Feet Bare Naked I Engaged a Hug of a Tree-

and engaged a hug

Getting Engaged At a Wedding
The Hedgehog wedding was the talk of Dry Gulch Creek.
There were moles, badgers, chipmunks and mice that squeak.
Cheering commenced when the bride bent kissed the groom.
Then the couple took a giant leap of faith over a broom.
The bride was a hustler, the groom was a cook so great.
The provided their guests with veggies and rib

My Bianca Little Red Chubs Mcmonkey Just Got Engaged
I know I was only kidding myself
I am not that stupid and knew this day

When my Lkkel Red Chubs Mcmonkey

Uncky Chris I am engaged to be married
And the only thing I can say with broken
but joyous heart
Is congratulations Lew
I only hope and pray you love Bianca

Real Not Fiction
Real Not Fiction
A hole is a hole said the Mule
As he stuck his stump up a slapper
This saying was mirrored by another
Who told a story of his friends
And what recently happened
One long term friend has a gal
They’d been together 7 years
And planned to get married
Spending a lifetime together
Already lovers and more
You know how it goes
So

Engaged In Violence-
Perfectly loud the carriage of silence,
Corrupted and engaged in violence,
Battles of humanity suffused,
Animals sounds and battle, confused
Displaced Africans disappear,
Marching in line holding spears
Battle fields in so solid form,
Temperance heated mad angry and warm

Engaged In Road Rage
I was driving to work on Monday morn
when behind me I heard a honking horn
A guy's middle finger taunted with scorn,
and that's the moment my road rage was born.
Normally, I'd smile and give him a wave
like I hadn't seen the finger he gave,
but this dude continued to misbehave
and almost rammed me. It was a close

Fingers
In all ten
For my life of pen:
For the prize-fighter's fists
From the eyes summoning mists.
To our own eyes move straight,
When we can no longer wait
To rid them of slumber
And add to the outside world’s number.
Often gesturing our wish
To throw together some dish
And eating it off zoom,
The hell getting out of our room!
Sometimes, combating the itch
In public
