Pillow Talk
hanging out amongst those who are like minded
new to the group naive to the lies and deceptions
groomed with gifts fun spotlight low expectations
time goes by everything great money had you blinded
you had the lovers fame reputation all felt so right
competitiveness between group members alike
tension becomes intolerable to the point of dislike
truth be told about how

What Groups Cannot Do Without
What could they be all about?
I'd tell you: For what we'd scout,
When our passions for them shout.
What groups cannot do without;
Once one neglects each a flout...

Acapella Groups
They're taking over the music scene
These acapella groups are everywhere
Popular as perhaps
The Beatles or Elvis or Whitney
Are they trying to appeal to girlie crowds
Of course the quartet groups of the fifties
Each era had it's own sensation
Five-man acapella groups
Are now the rage of the two thousands
Long live the pop music scene

Polka Dots---
Pattern of arrayed
circle colors regular
pattern on solid
circumferences large
circle sizes big and small
circle Polka dots
circling hue of views
on top of plain solid sheets
abundantly dips
ever so drops of
differed colors spots shines as

Members of Minority Groups
Members of Minority Groups
Discrimination applies to members of minority groups;
Should apply to handicapped and someone who stoops;
Indians here first,
And by us cursed;
Maybe poor postured President with eye lids that droop.

You can take my place at Whte House any time.

A Murder of Crows
A Shadow of Jaguars
A Flamboyance of Flamingos
A Mess of Iguanas
A Congregation of Alligators
A Crash of Rhinos

A Pot of Water Buffaloes may wallow away,
while A Wisdom of Owls roost for the day.
A Battalion of Falcons would indeed prey,

Veterans From Groups That Vary
This is a poem I just wrote for Veterans Day Meeting to be held at
RiverSea Clubhouse in Bolivia, NC on November 8th, 2014 from two
to three-thirty.
Veterans from Groups That Vary
Being a Veteran is what we desired,
From day we entered until retired;
For missions us they did select
From all fear and enemies to protect.
Even if

Poetry Groups and Aaron Jumpers
Red checkered carpet and mahogany wood dominate
Guinness, beer and wine stand politely
Reflective
The eclectic gathering of minds and smiles
Litter the room as left over christmas baubles
While one voice swoons across the ceiling to fall on ravenous ears
Smiles in therapy
And memory slip over the rickety stiles of childhood
As eyes wide shut dance

Race Focused Groups
Why does Congress still have a Black Caucus?
Do we still need the N.A.A. C. P.?
Congress says we are all equal
The law says that everyone’s free
We would never allow a White Caucus
Although white is a minority
They can’t pursue unequal advancements
Though discrimination there be
So let’s drop these race focused groupings
Let’s put race issues back on the shelf
Let’s

Three Groups of Jeans
My jeans are all piled into three groups
From thin to as wide as hoola-hoops
Diets are such tedium
Finally back at medium
Efforts to get there would shock our troops
With nineteen pounds lost in just six weeks
I’m once again proud of my rear cheeks

They Flock In Groups of Three
They flock in groups of three
and feast on shattered molecules.
They nag at your shoestrings,
waiting
for the moment you become vulnerable.
They will gnaw at your pulsating membranes,
leave a mangled carcass,
and consider their next victim.
They thrive between the living and the dead,
unsure of which path to pursue,
and as their claws rot and
their follicles disintegrate,
they will regret every moment

This leaves us with four groups of people:
the dead and the living, the sane and the insane
but who can match which with which?
