Lemonade

When life leaves you lemons
deserved or not
some sunny summer's day
neither fret nor sweat
if citrus is all you've got
to show for your lot
to keep the blues at bay
be creative pull out all stops
keep calm stay cool
either squish or get off the pot
think of a drink
(old fruit)
and you're made in the shade
easy peasy lemon squeezy
simply put... make

Going Places

The bold horizon burned and died
cold in my eyes as I turned aside
on the road to nowhere
taking it slow
making it easy
in no hurry to go
I'm taking my time
for I never felt the need
to heed the latest mad fad
or follow the current day's craze
yet I don't fret or sweat
the small stuff
but I did learn
soon enough
the tide

Fret not

Fret not by Adejola Joseph 
Fret not 
Fear is a beast
It invades you if you allow it 
It conquers you if you succumb to it
But fear is powerless 
On its own it cannot bite 
So, fret not 
I see fear in a glance 
It's like a shadow in a trance 
So, fret not 
Leave!
Grief!
Fear!
Shadow!
Blank!
Fear is

Premium MemberIdly Fret

I'm sitting with device in hand, 
Trapped in forked thought,
Derailed, enqueued, attention spanned,
All plot but ought for naught. 

Zephyr-jostled oriel,
Jalousie jingle jets,
Venetian piped boreal,
Cochlear tingle sets.

Typing taps of tip-toed pitter-patter,
The thumbs' chagrin of screen,
Ticking ornamental chatter,
As if later's to be seen.

Body borborygmus begs,
Tasks at hand be dealt,
Rather held in barreled keg,
And later burst in welt.

Nonetheless,

Friends of frogs

Written for the contest: Alliteration Nursery rhyme
Sponsored by: Eve Roper
Contest Judged:  11/6/2024 12:00:00 AM
Placement: 1st



For friends and folks of foolish forests' frogs! 

Darkness deals with your dusty dirty wares,
Shadows shine, shimmering in sheering sears,
Stars twinkle topmost on the tossing trees,
To crisply cuddle the blistering breeze.

Fearless forests friends forbid foolish spies,
Listen long, lively laughter lifts

lives clogged with gadgetry

Mosquitoes On a Flesh Rest

Some things you at last get
And still eyes with tears wet,
Others you scramble to get
And failing Shabby Anger let …

Have we each other met,
When our eyes had to be wet
And a need to Virulent Anger let?

I would without a licensing fret 
Over a Denied Mosquito Net
And go ahead to with my life bet
That up I

Helps Me When I Fret While Standards Does Set

As I think about the book,
here is a summary of my
thoughts in poetic form.

thou God may forget
Standards for you He will set
help me when I fret

war was lackluster
tried to avoid the fluster
swept off with a duster

Have you ever thought
that you had heard someone
behind you. It turned out to
be God talking to His Son
Jesus who we

A Fret

Don't you just
Make my life so blissful,
You complete me,
You make me complete
In a way I sometimes fail
To comprehend.

If you see me fretting,
My eyes can't believe
This whole honey milk gem
Is for them to caress and savour
To their comfort.

My heart can't understand
Sometimes that all that
Cool, patience, loyalty and consistency
Are all for it to find peace in.

My body

“Nuns Fret Not at Their Convent's Narrow Room”
by William Wordsworth

Nuns fret not at their convent’s narrow room;
And hermits are contented with their cells;
And students with their pensive citadels;
Maids at the wheel, the weaver at his loom,
Sit blithe and happy; bees that soar for bloom,
High as the highest Peak of Furness-fells,
Will murmur by the hour in

Fret

Why is everyone upset?
I sink down in regret
I think of all the debt

We owe cuz of our sins..
Tossed down in trash bins
I am a dolphin without fins

I am down and about
I will rise above the doubt
There is an in, so there’s a way out

There is positivity to look forward to
I will try to be good

To Fret

Life would be a whole lot better
If I weren’t such a fretter.
Yet, that’s just my worried way;
I guess it’s in my DNA.

I wish I could be less uptight
And trust all that will be all right
But worry worms its way inside
And somehow it gets magnified.

To let things slide, it’s very plain,
For me would go against the
