I don’t mind the cold
If it isn’t extreme,
But since I am old,
Freezing temps sometimes seem
Like they’re too much to take
When I’m walking outside,
So for sanity’s sake,
I let age be my guide.
Just like Covid’s first weeks,
At a nice rapid pace,
I perfect my techniques
For an in-my-home race.
No opponents compete
So the win will be mine.
In 900 square feet,
I am certain to shine.
Friends have moved to a clime
Where the cold doesn’t go.
They may find it sublime
But for me, it’s a NO!
For the freeze will not last;
It will lose its steel grip
And the iciest blast
Beats humidity’s drip.
Imagination can be a curse.
The worrywart will visualize the worst scenarios.
Wasting the day to oblivion.
Wordku: 5-7-5 words
The dilapidated building wavers the hindsight
In a single city
Hidden conformity owns?
A previous creation of economy
Current currency in ink creates no mad article
One must adhere in the thick heat while justice witnesses change
The current volume of water "allowed" from water station
From station to station the ear is clipped in interest if reported earnings.
In this fashion panic has created itself a source of retired journal timing.
Cycle of labor markets itself
Not a new nor another
Speak easy
Speak easiest
Differing reason in seasonal appearance
In the space a forgotten person is left to entertain
The remainder of civilization has been acquired
The unfinished civilized area per "your" affront, complaint, insult
Inflammatory remarks is creation of code
Creating colony
Demanding colonization by war

Extreme heat signifies an era
For the people who live in denial
That it is global warming
While the heat from hell solidifies
Itself throughout a variety of
States and countries
The heat creeps into our bodies
And brains creating a fog that
Keeps us in a neutral zone,
Wear our thoughts are unclear making us
Quick to anger and our patience short
"Fantasy ~ Imagination Are Twins. Having a fun time playing together in our dreams." By Poet
As I look into last night's "Dream,"
I see a "Visualization" downstream.
I see a huge bear and cubs dressed in lace of red and cream,
that is a crazy color scheme.
Is my "Imagination" going up in steam?
The bears looked very "Whimsy" like out of a daydream,
has this "Hullucination" gone to the extreme?
"Reverie" by this cold water stream.
In this wild dream I found no self-esteem,
just a large bright overhead laser beam.
No more eating ice cream with triple whipping cream.
Do not wear pride like a necklace
For God detests pride and arrogance
Pride does not go unpunished
Pride leads to disgrace
Humility is rewarded with wisdom
While pride begets destruction
Cause it takes credit for God’s accomplishments
And covets God’s glory
Pride demeans others
It arrogates sense of Almightiness
To a mere mortal
Pride stifles growth of other virtues
Makes one to reject help needed
Prevents one to listen and help others
And deludes one into believing
In one’s self sufficiency
But in reality Pride is admission of weakness
Pride leads to extreme selfishness
Pride does not gratify
Pride does not exulte
Rather it dehumanizes and belittles
When you betray someone
Something inside in you shatter
When people close to you knows this
They are the one who feels the pains
When this evil act subsides
The one who betrays will silently
Hide his face in darkness and cry in vain
Thinking he's useless because of guilt
If the guilt is light he's saving grace is proud
Showing to people that he's in control of everything
You will see him his wealth displayed
You will observe him saying his achievement
Most likely making himself a celebrity
Sometimes he goes extreme parties care to influence
But when time body rest in bed can't take a rest
Because cobwebs of guilt flies in the air
Too many unfinished business keeping the mind
Uneasy, insecurities and feeling reserve not close
When unmanaged and uncontrolled action not met
Too heavy in thinking and can't sleep anymore
The only solution is taking life by its own.
Don't burn
Yourself ablaze
Trying to prove
Your worthiness.
Don't kill
Yourself for
Nothing
Trying to prove
You're fearless.
Be fearless
Don't mean
Be stupid
Be careful
Don't mean
Be fearful.
Autocracy
Yes, I mean a special one. The psychological autocracy
Like despotism, this is the opposite of independence
Who created the soul? The Creator, not the psychology
I want to follow my Bible
God is the best doctor
Extreme psychology
Stay away from my life
Please
Constant below the belt down pinning is a manifestation of extreme fanaticism, especially of women to men and gay to men and implied sexual craving.
Being extremley the opposite of slavery
Freedom, also takes effort and bravery
Being in honour together; is prequsite'
Selflesness in support is a requsite
Draw your line in the sand
share ideas take your stand!
Upholding your rights,
Cannot now; be 'left' to
Those 'old' davos-ites.!
It was covered by a blanket of moss
with a wood fence that looked as sturdy as
a young child’s craft project, stretching across
a patio, the memory of jazz.
It had a tower on the balcony,
reaching towards the moon in the midnight sky.
A witches’ tower made with alchemy
in which a kidnapped girl, hostage, would cry.
It has a fierce lean, rivaling that of
the famous Piza ruin, so extreme
it looks it will fall if you give a shove.
The castle, the image, must be a dream.
An old green forest, decaying behind
the stone castle, which I’m sure you can find.
Like avatar of gods in human form, they worship even his poop
1 minute smiling
Like a Cheshire cat
Laid in wait like a masked paid assassin
Only for 2 minutes later
To be found crying
Lying in the fetal position
Sucking on your own thumb
Like a new born baby
Cradled in a manger
No 1 knows or for what
Apparent reason either or either occurs
We seldomly even know ourselves
Let alone are able to help or can stop it
Despite full well knowing the signs
From the initial onset institaneously
We simply don't or can't tell
What is going about to happen
From 1 minute moment to the next
Until eventually the dust has settled
And we are no longer smiling
But crying filled with remorse and regret
We are extremely trained
in our failures
and tremendously incompetent
in our successes...
