Monocrostic (Birthday of Edwin Casipong)
There is space, an orangey sort of large space,
That makes one wonder where his teeth had gone.
Stuck on the elm, pulled out by the dentist,
Swallowed by the hollow sun.
And on it a piece of ivory, sharp to points like a dream.
It cannot retrieve itself, for the sun would fall,
To pieces as it had come
The wild geese and gun barrel,
Down the slivers of the late autumn night-
How one carries the sun!
The little one needs its teeth,
But does the galaxy need it more?
The rat would gladly give its incisors to the
Woman who had yet to arrive, tripping over her misconduct,
Glass slippers Showered in poison dust,
A prince is of no matter here, for
Who deserves more than the sun?
Exploited and Devoted
If you exploited,
To God should be devoted;
Ask for forgiveness.
Jim Horn
Love as clouds.... creates emotional confusion
Love as doubts .... spins fear's illusion
Love as exploited .... aids evil's intrusion
Love as steadfast .... endures any emotion
Love as sincere .... befits hearts intentions
Love as unselfish .... reaps divine conclusion
Once upon a time ago
Lived a man named Vincent Van Gogh.
His style of painting vexed a few
With importunities anew:
His long broad strokes and use of light
Bright yellows, mauve were his delight
Blues and oranges caught the eye
Contrasting when placed side by side
For all the beauty he expressed
It left him poor and dispossessed.
Life seems to fault the advent man
It’s been that way since time began.
Deceased his work has now become
Treasures in Louvre museum.
Of late except the Hummer original war zone macho look.
Packard marque logo displayed a twentieth century flying lady piece.
Other brand images, hyped products lived with beautiful women
All to woo, the neo-rich the good and the ugly men; filthy rich:
Old Ladies now restrained, new generative order marched forward
Giant Rolls Royce phantom chose the sleek super woman model lines
BMW market sentiments configured cars with ladies; attracting men
Lady celebrities flirted with the automobile industry.
Today men have dream car encounters with lithe womanly beauty
Soft and silky riding in true aristocratic behavior,
Each curve or turn touched by his sizzling predefined instigation;
To suffers her enslavement with joy as she plays to his whims.
How I love a young replaceable mate exposing wild raw radiance
Never to question, disagree with my fascinating performance.
Li'l Angels, Child-aged old
Long time, lost out in the cold
Like clay were you shaped into a mold
Of What Not To Be, after you by Momma had been told
Now, for your safe return, We must be bold
Although, the rainbow's end lacks a pot of gold
On the idea that it's a loss, should We not be sold
Ordering the Authorities more areas patrolled
As if fate in Our hands is controlled
Wanting back What from Us had been stoled
Despite, it could cause Our heads to be swolled
But, for this should it be life without parole
The conviction made based on the Windows of the Soul
For it hurts MEMORY LANE being strolled
Repeatedly, taken on Our hearts a toll
Not having Our child, in arms to hold
