If the Shoe Fits
Like trying on your mother’s shoe;
they do not fit, but still they do
and yet, your father’s, never tried
for what secrets do both shoes hide?

This piece of me fits nowhere in the vastness of the cold world
This piece of me fits nowhere in the vastness of the cold world.
While others find things to do with their time, places to go.
Things to say to each other in the shadow of the evening falling over false gardens.
I burn in hell somewhere north of dreams lost in the mist of time.
Flowers do not grow

She fits in everywhere she goes
She is a child of the mountains, of meadows, lakes, and seas.
A pirate queen, faerie princess, ninja warrior, consultant to a king.
Sliding into crevices others might not understand; only herself to please.
She fits in with so many; her plethora of talents of which others sing.
A bit of a pyromania, loving the reds and oranges of

Pearl misbehaves, throws fits, rants and raves
If Pearl misbehaves
throws fits, rants and raves
What of the parents who raise her
If Johnny can’t read

What of his teachers who instruct him

If The Sneaker Fits
Inspired by Bill Baker,
A friend in Texas
add on's welcome!
If The Sneaker Fits
I bought blingy gold sneakers with Trump's magic in it
A guru with genius, that's how I spin it!
But deep down in my guts
I think I'm just nuts
Another one of those suckers born every minute

one size fits all
clutch them …
nourish them …
draw all to your being with
a lover’s hunger
the cosmos bears suns, innumerable
each a rarity of scintillation
unlike any other -
a macrocosm of nascency and
divine chaos
in a measure to rival every
pinch of dust that ever whirled
upon a whisper…
like the ache of fidelity,
each has its own bountiful awe
and who can know what
wonders lay in

If the Shoe Fits
love is not Archie Bunker ~let his hatred stay in Hitler's bunker
when circumstances appear cruel in life you need not be cruel with them
a dodged serve, the ball is now long gone~a pond rife with many lost balls
a lie will soar throughout the land before truth wakes and gets out of bed
controlling ones diverticuli ~should

Refurbished Fairy Tales: Cinderella, If the Shoe Fits Part Three
The happily ever after...
He searched the kingdom for a fortnight 'til all saddle sore and weary,
With his eyes bloodshot and bleary,
The prince arrived at the last door.
He found two sisters, far too ugly, and an even uglier mother,
And asked himself why even bother,
This whole darn quest's become a bore.
Then from the kitchen came the vision

Refurbished Fairy Tales: Cinderella, If the Shoe Fits Part Two
At the ball...
At this point in the tale, a happy ending should be pending,
But readers now are more demanding,
And so, I'll tweak a bit the plot.
Cinderella made an entrance like aurora borealis
That sent a shockwave through the palace,
"Who is this chick? Man, she is hot!"
When the prince caught her attention, his anxieties enflamed him,
But when

Refurbished Fairy Tales: Cinderella, If the Shoe Fits Part I
Once upon a time...
Once upon a time, in France, a storyteller fella
Wrote of a girl named Cinderella,
Meant as a fairy tale romance.
Her daddy died when she was young, and she was forced to share his riches
With three monumental b****es,
A most unhappy circumstance.
For years her stepmom and stepsibs made her perform a menial's duty,
And as she

It Fits
It fits.
It just simply does.
My arm fits behind your head,
as we lie on the bed, in the glow.
Your head on my shoulder,
comfortable and light.
It fits.
It just does.
Staring at the ceiling;
at the cobweb on the fan.
Nobody cares. There are no thoughts,
just reverie, and peace. Just to be.
It fits.
It just fits.
This life with you,
and who we are.
This

Fits Like a Glove
A replacement for physical love
Is a more emotional love that rises above
Lasts a lifetime
World's in rhyme
A love that fits like a perverbial glove

Fits the Need
"Fits the Need"
All people want
is a stable house
a place to call their "safe" home
to "LIVE"
outside of all cages -
free
live life
how "we"
were meant to feel
to have no hell
continually raising chaos
in this very very small life we lead
yet we crumble
like the fall of Rome
monotonously, perpetually
All people want
is a future free
of

A Journey of Stillness
You carry a place within you as a talisman.
A remembrance of where your center is.
The air here is old, the sound still.
It is the place where things
Turned upside down, are righted;
Things that are backward, turn around.
Truths revealed within the breathing of the earth.
It is where you see each creature as yourself,
Where you

My Poetic Dilemma In Fits and Starts
My dilemma is this
I am not , never a poet
Could try my level best to pose
for one but in all credibility not
seriously pass myself
off as one neither profess
to claim or be an artist even
an aspiring one
Merely a fella who loves nothing
more than time well spent
Stringing and expressing
word's into verses and
short sentences
By using and turning
