October Autumn breeze morning risen
sunlight tickles the leaves of the trees
in the lake fountain Glory river waters
Running fluent quickly as I tease my eyes
Those the Bright lights Of The morning Sun
Aquatically flows as a tear leaves my eyes
The tender warm hush The Cool breeze The Rush
Shivers my inner wellness so early morning October
So those light kisses me yet in sight impounding me
October breeze shivers me makes me excited for the day is yet blight
Phantom coming breezes flickering heated light of the Sun
In case is my spirit my soul rises I try to run
~
But the embalming cooling breeze of an October Autumn
Fleas and soon the coolness will be just right the October morning autumn

TOM’S TURKEY ANTICS
Tom Cunningham, cunning with his limericks.
Slick and sassy, a bit devilish too. If he were
Santa, his bag would be full of not toys but lists
of sensational poetics for adult boys and girls.
Tom’s turkey antics have him roasting Polly,
handcuffing Santa, whip-creaming Rudolph.
Oh the things this guy won’t pull on Christmas,
like pranking and impounding Santa’s sleigh.
Ho! Ho! ho! Humor is the game that Tom plays!

What am I doing wrong?
i try so hard but it never seems to matter,
my face is always replaced with a big fake smile.
my feelings that surround me are not worthwhile.
i know that i could be a wonderful person but all i do is count my mistakes,
i hope and pray and try to see if i have what it takes
to stop being such a terrible person.
i meet someone and we hit it off
great friends within an hour
Then i said some wrong things and now and i feel devoured by my mistakes.
i guess i just want hope and joy is that too hard to ask
maybe I'll love myself but that is a hard task.
i know that i can be a great person but my feelings are in the way of my arrogance and failed romance and deep impounding love for the world.
But its just a fantasy that ill never reach.

There was a man whose name was Mr Loud,
he preached humility with his head bowed,
He was quite the preacher,
with a unique feature,
He was so humble that it made him proud!
inspired by Carolyn Devonshire's poem "Impounding Ego"
Thanks Carolyn!

On the greatness of humility some expound,
but still fail to leave their egos at the impound.

The leader then is not the weight
as world might know the contemplate
is to and fro ~ never sedate
a pendulum, not wish and wait!
So movable above the state
of mind, nor countenance' relate
the leader functions, not belate
but active, vying inundate!
I wear my symbols ~ his must hate
to not grasp forage as his plate
but justice turning rate by rate,
the leader's move is Earth's rebate!
This higher ground, nor estimate
can so astound expected fate,
what e'er will happen, time not late,
the leader knows his score's abate!
To reconcile misfortunate's trait
of losing's scoundrel retrograde
the win impounding excavate
new hope not crowning's underrate!
The pendulum swings . . . . . not hesitates!
