Fraught as an extremely socially anxious younger person
Fraught as an extremely socially anxious younger person...
hashtagged introvertedness trademark
silently exorcised, ostracized, and vilified
Impossible mission to resuscitate...
a forsaken promising
(even short lived) friendship
regardless of expressed gender
exhibited by other persons from yesteryear.
When trying to jump/kick start
lapsed meaningful interpersonal connections
from much earlier in my life
absence of a spark to kindle
once upon a time
valuable linkedin treasured bond
bereft of dynamism.
Folly

An Extremely Lucky Fellow
The ground is white with powdery snow
Thankfully, I have no place I need to go,
The arctic north wind has ceased to blow,
I see one bird outside, a large black crow
He flexes his wings occasionally for show,
In yonder meadow stands a single doe
Despite the frigid cold, she’s wary of a foe,
The fox she saw skulking in

Extremely Excited and Delighted
Extremely excited and delighted
spotting the broadest smile,
I trashed what was unruled;
my tone is not rude and hostile!
An aura of intense gladness
enlivens mood and expresses
a spirit of reclaimed blissfulness:
euphoria is true cheerfulness!
Misery is the worst friend,
it wouldn't allow brightness
in that bleak sky of pastel red:
shouldn't it show liveliness?
I've traded animosity for pious forgiveness
realizing that

Extremely Exhausted
Willed
Vague sword
Weak heart and sight
Boundless wisdom, although
My soul has full enthusiasm
Body growing old and becoming weak
My resolve outweighs the bullet
Reeled swilled
Billed.

Mid-East Has Been Extremely Hot
Mid-East Has Been Extremely Hot
Mid-East is always exceptionally hot;
Bad things to our attention brought;
We should select,
Those who infect,
That should be sought and then shot.

Extremely Strong Coffee
My coffee's so strong, it wakes up the neighbors
Perhaps it the brand, I usually prefer Nabob
Nabob's a
Maybe if I switch
Peels off your skin seems like “Epidermis Asphalt”

Extremely Moderate Advice On the Consumption of Slightly Poisoned Food
The god of this world is not wholly
Wholly good or wholly evil.
He does his best to avoid extremes.
With his cornucopia he feeds the paying multitudes
While the rest discreetly hunger. He nourishes,
Admixing with good food insignificant,
That is – as far as we can tell - insignificant
Doses of toxin. We must say grace mindful
That slightly poisoned food

Sometimes I Feel Myself Extremely Cruel
Sometimes I feel extremely cruel,
And want to kill someone just with a stool.
My wife sent me to a psychiatrist for a visit.
O.K. I visited. Kill. But, still I feel uneasy.

So It's Extremely You
So accuratley,
It passionatley, came to my vision
That you were a blessing from which
I've been missing.
As the sky was shaped,
Fashioned in blue,
I thank the lord
"So its extremely you"
I must believe that
Heaven must be missing an angel
Cause with me you've spent
Much quality time
Contrary to
