The Guest
To what did I owe the pleasure
Of the visit of such a stature
As I am much of a lost
I've taken the liberty of the most
I have not one but many of a question
For what lingers in me is a wondering passion
And as I burn in the silence of the passing breeze
I echo the songs

guest in my own life
i have lived in houses
that kept me,
but never held me.
i was a guest in my own life—
told to give,
but never to take.
told to understand,
but never to be understood.
told to forgive,
but never to ask why.
they built my life like a cage
and called it safety.
locked the doors
and named it protection.
when their choices
crushed my ribs,
they asked why i

The Self-Invited Guest
If the two of you agree
The self-invited guest is free
To enter into hearts
And a miracle starts!
Who is it; who is this One?
All strife and striving shun?
Our minds see the wisdom, truth and light
The request is made and it is right;
A deep desire and a plea
To forget the questions, the fear, to flee
Into the Eternal Arms
To

The Christmas Dinner Guest
It's Christmas eve dawn
and something is very wrong
For the children unable to wait
watching for Santa and it's late
The stockings are empty not even a lump of coal
no presents under the tree did Santa bestow
Three little faces ever so sad
where they really, seriously, that bad bad and bad?
Cookies on the plate and a glass of cold

The Fairmile Guest House
We arrived early at the Fairmile
We’re welcomed by Jason’s warm smile
He made a pot of tea
For my hubby and me
I’m happy we’re staying a while!
Our bedroom was spotlessly clean
And as for the breakfast cuisine
The huge choice was amazing
(Overnight oats I’m praising)
We feasted like a King and Queen!
The pre–order system is great
It ensured the food on

rudest guest ever
are those Tiffany lamps?
the new neighbor asks me, staring at my stuff.
I have no idea, but I like them, I reply.
Were they expensive? She asks.
Rudest guest ever.

Uninvited Guest
Two friends with haughty heads on long neck’s crest,
can’t enter nearby house through door for fest.
Dinner time of elation,
can’t control temptation,
sneak through window as uninvited guest.

Retired VIP Guest Hospitality Specialist: Land Trustee-PS
A pure Hawaiian of rare birth,
living a life somewhat carefree,
fed farm animals by this squirt,
sticks and stones were real toys indeed,
set trash ablaze, be on alert,
a barefoot country kid, that's me,
a runner on trails made of dirt,
plucked berries from brush, fruits from trees,
built sandcastles--swam first of seven seas.
"I was young when we all left this

My 120 pound house guest
He's an elder now so don't dare forget.
He has special needs and they need to be met..
Always been a hot boy so keep the thermostat down,
or he'll gulp too much water and in urine you'll drown..
Never was a barker but now lets you know.
Better pay attention or he'll just let it flow..
The laminated flooring makes

Best Guest Lecturer Ever
He is distinguished they said
And they were not wrong
But what is he doing up in the day?
Aren’t owls nocturnal?
Mr. O is not your ordinary fowl
We attended his lecture
He taught us about owls
Barn owls, gray owls,
He gave us a few hoots
It was the best university seminar ever
I never expected him to wear a tie!
I never expected

Unwelcome Guests
(Arthritis, Bursitis, Tendonitis, Gout)
Miracle Man
10-11-2023
The “rItis” boys came to visit,
and their welcome overstayed.
My futile efforts to evict them,
they always downplayed.
Arth, Burs, and Tendon,
that very unpleasant three.
Were always reluctant to leave,
before the ravaging of me.
For pain I gave each points,
on occasion they brought a shout.
They all attacked my joints,
but none compared to Gout.

Guest
By his glad host loved more than the rest!
A guest himself tries to look his best:
In his host’s house free to wear his crest,
Host spending on him like on farm’s past…
No doubt to Guest: Host House a real nest:
Much like a suckling Host’s cares ‘A breast;
Fame one must have touched for ‘A Guest’
The wonders one
