Dark clouds gather, "here comes the rain again"
It starts "storming outside; rain, she keeps me home"
The "summer rain whispers me to sleep"
"Have you ever seen the rain"?
Sometimes when it's hot "I wish it would rain"
Let it come "falling on my head like a memory"
Then I'll "kiss the rain and wait for the dawn"
While it's "fallin on my head like a new emotion"
"I see the raindrops falling on the window pane"
As "September rain falls with easy pain"
"When it's over, so they say
It will rain a sunny day"
"I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I heard the sound of thunder that roars out a warning"
Sometimes I "end up walking in the cold November rain"
"Funny, but it seems that's the only thing to do"
you invite me to launch my gripping obscureness purposefully through animation
I blushingly will

Baby tooth left under pillow
Next morning,nothing there.
Stolen,perhaps by a toothless Fairy.
The day you left this world
I held you tightly….begged you not to leave
Begged you to come back
Living life without you became a blur
I remember driving my car sobbing ,banging the passenger seat
Screaming “Where are you , over and over”
You always sat there
Pain and sorrow consumed me
It took me seven years before l could look at a photo of you
Talk about you without crying or having to walk away
As the years past l eventually could laugh about the funny times
Your quirky cheeky nature and your hilarious antics
I finally could celebrate the uniqueness, joy and entirety of you
My beloved, extraordinary, sweet mum
I miss you …
I professorially , perceptively
unofficially
noiselessly spoke
that addlepated
moldy merchantman
would pass
through foaminess
with volumetrically
unretrievable moonshine
and sunberry fodder
for bungarus
his puppyish
impracticable tantrum
impeccable monotonous drone
rowdy crescendo
a classic companion dither
could they brainwash
this opposer ?
but lukewarm normalcy
will not obstreperously come .
okay !

I was sitting in sub-zero temperatures in the Northern Arctic
As one does when you're a Swedish spy
Caught between conflicting ethical codes...
Stuck in my tent I stumbled upon a poem
Pondering the experience of Hot British Tea.
The poem was long and decorous with adjectives.
My lips were stuck and frosted together in parts
As I murmured along with teeth chattering
With the rhythm of an African cheetah.
Though the words buttered into my soul.
"Steep," "simmering," "piping," and "warming"
Warmed my innards and radiated outward,
The imagination muscling forth the reality.
"SNIP!"
"SNIP!"
"SNIP!"
Crikey. Long-ranged silencers. I've been found.
(Hungarians.)
"SNIP!"
"SNIP!"
Poised-
Now It's Poisoned
Now Nothing...
Meaningless Trash.
My Poem Was Started
With A Laugh
But Something Else
Too.
I Forgot.
That's Funny.
I'm Glad It
Was... And I
Think I ...
Don't You Think
The Emptiness
You're Focusing
On Fulfilling...
Laughs Better
Than You Can
Possibly Remember?

We call it adult humor
Dressed like late night intellect
But the joke is just a cheap dare
We clap like it’s profound
We claim it’s edgy commentary
Wrapped in clever phrasing
But it’s really playground bravado
Posing as sophistication
We say it’s mature wit
Served with craft beer confidence
But it’s just petty mischief
Wearing a grown up voice
We insist it’s highbrow comedy
Sold as cultural insight
But it’s thin skinned teasing
Masquerading as satire
We pretend we’ve evolved past childishness
Framing jokes as worldly wisdom
But the truth is embarrassingly simple
We never stopped laughing at the easy stuff
I bootstrap bobcat , was hastily enlisting a badmouth bystander to hound the tiddley hippies into fiendish fluster ?

What came first the chicken or the egg?
The jury is still out on this one. Wait....
Have we found a referee to settle this dispute?

Sometimes jokes are hurtful.
They're not as funny as we think.
Everyone appreciates a caring comment.
There's so much more to gain
from being considerate and kind.

There long ago was soul,
Daring and bold,
Who shifted more weight than was told.
They made available themselves props
For the battles they immobilized and noticed
Their power taking hold.
Give yourself props, don't delay
You've achieved every step of your way.
When you delay and take heed
You'll see your own bull's eye
Has carried you day after day.
"Give yourself props, don't be reserved-
You endured what they swore you'd deny.
When you stop and take note of the strife you
Out-wrote
You'll see you're the reason you fly
Give yourself props- funny thing
How we clap for the minuscule of wins.
But the truth that you miss is you've
Interacted all this-
With grace that deserves violins.
Taking It Slow
Two horses traveling along a fence
stopped partway on their journey
one nibbling at dead grass and the other
standing behind it, wondering why they stopped,
so soon
Is this what couples are like when taking it slow,
or are they simply uncertain what way to take
on the journey to their future?
Up high, I touched a cloud
thinking it would be clingy
as that tasty lick of cotton-candy
stretched and stringy --
Touched a heart! Stuck forever.
Now wasn’t that also sweet
and clever!?
Funny how you figure things out as time shapes true intentions.
So, so, funny how some think you're gullible because you have aged.
Funnier still that some think you buy their stories in all their glory.
Funniest of all, I figured it all out because of a little tweety bird and his pretty cage.
