Premium Member Legs And Windsocks


I run with the wind,
past a couple of windsocks. 
I see they sometimes droop,
sometimes stretched full,
indicating the speed of the wind
that thrusts forward my body,
helping the tired legs
stride at the pace of the wind.
My legs seem to wear windsocks,
so, I know my running speed.

Indicating indigo improvements
Juggling juicy jiggling Jello
Kibitzing kits and cats
Laboriously languishing lightly
Making marvelous maneuvers in word play

Quote: "If you come to visit my grave, my tomb will appear to dance."By Rumi

              **************

Standing rocks that mimic megaliths rise,
Indicating where the eroding skull lies.
She was once a mother suckling with grace,
Now her bones swathed in clay, no embrace.

I was saddened to view this forlorn grave,
Infested by weeds that struggle to save.
The grass is dormant, giving way to seed,
In hushed sadness, I ponder and plead.

A father's shape, badly wrecked and torn,
His spirit, through rain and labor, had worn.
Typhus took a son, the hoped-for next,
There is no bloodline to rely on in a text.

A bright young daughter is now dead,
Struggling to deal with pregnancy dread.
Upon labor and loss, she faced searing harm,
Cradling in sorrow the one once so warm.

As we stroll through this calm cemetery, unwind,
Where mother, father, daughter, and son all lined.
Resting alone, with names engraved on stone,
I await and ponder when my body will be prone.

Premium Member Drivers Who Give No Warnings

In traffic they go zooming in and out
not even indicating it at all.
When they make a lane change, 
I Just want to shout,
“Just use your turn signal, you jerk.
One day you’ll hit somebody or a wall!”


Premium Member You Are The Gift


God gave you a mind and soul, that are
strictly your own.

When you abandon them, to be one of 
the crowd, a sure sign, you are not grown.

Yet, I see this each day, where approval
from others, is the golden prize.

Indicating, a most lonely child, lost, never 
respecting, their own brain and body.

Pleasing others, by quieting their own true
rainbows of truth~ a terribly tragic story!

Heading Downtown by Subway

The escalator keeps descending;
Seemingly, it’s never-ending,
Taking riders deep into
The bowels of the earth.
Everyone around pretending
That they’re fine, of course, depending
On their circumstances and
Just what their time is worth.

When the platform’s reached, there’s waiting.
Scrolling signs are indicating
When the closest train will come –
That is, if you’re in luck.
Minutes tick by, generating
Lots more people congregating
But you’ve made your choice and now
It seems that you are stuck.

Finally, a revelation –
See the train approach the station.
As the doors glide open, people
Rush to get inside.
Find a seat or resignation
Will stay ‘til your destination.
Then at last you exit,
Having taken it in stride.

Premium Member IT IS SO SO IT IS-My SpokenWord

"It is so, so it is
I know way before
Deeper, deepest inside from above through and below
It is so, so it is
It is real, more than a feel
Is is so, so it is
Express agreement
Emphasized that so it’ true
Cause truth rest in truth
Stands above not beneath
All awe, intrusive agreement affirmation
"That’s the way it is,"
 Or "that's what I heard too."
 It is a way of acknowledging the statement 
And indicating agreement with it
It is so, so it is
"It is so" is a phrase used to expressed agreement
And so to emphasize some things are true or certain.
"That’s the way it is,"
 Or "that's what I heard too."
 It is a way 
of acknowledging the statement 

Halleluiah,---
It is so, so it is
Halleluiah,---
It is so, so it is
 It is so, so it is"

Never Been

I’ve never been patient or calm.
If someone were reading my palm,
The lines there to see
Would give clues about me
Indicating the need for a balm.

Just the slightest thing tests my restraint
And it’s not a nice picture I paint.
Yet that’s how my brain works;
It’s just one of my quirks.
Mellow, chill or laid-back I sure ain’t!

Premium Member are you afraid of dogs


Big Blue, my Alaskan Malamute greeted my friend with a wide tail wag.
He ran back to the car, rolled down the window and yelled “Is this a gag?”
Are you afraid of dogs? I asked. I did not know that about you.
No, but I am afraid of whatever that thing is, he said, indicating Big Blue.

Premium Member wheres the beef

where's the beef?
Wendy's most famous advertisement that went viral
this ad disrespectfully put down other chain's hamburgers
Indicating their meat patties were small
soon a catch phrase for the 1984 Presidential election
makig fun of Gary Hart and Walter Mondale
Nashville songwriter DJ Coyote McCloud made it into a song
this catch phrase was "on fire" in the US for a long time
my children used it to poke fun of everything unlikeable to them.
this commercial was hilarious featuring an older lady Clara Peller
she had the perfect face and expression to pull it off

Premium Member Meeting a New Six Year Old At School

Do you want the door open or shut?
This is an administrator, asking me.
“It is up to her, “ I say, indicating the six-year-old.
She takes her time, making up her mind.
Loving the power.
Finally saying “leave it open a little bit.”
When the admin leaves, the child shuts the door.
Gives me a wide smile.
I smile back.

As we play with Play Dough she tells me her life story.
I ask if she has a grandmother, she does.
Where does she live?
You know that brown house with the red car?
I nod my head.
Because it is easier.

“If you see a man in skinny clothes going in there
And he looks like he is going to watch old people TV
That is my uncle.”
I ask what Old People TV is.
Black and white stuff.

I have been wanting to make you into Play Dough for a long time.
I remind her that we have just met.
I am going to make you into a sports girl, she says.
Here is your tummy.
I tell her I have a big one and she makes it bigger.
When I take her back to class she cannot stop hugging me.

Premium Member Virtue Signalling

No, it does not mean you are a good person.
Used mostly by totalitarian or Marxist regimes.
As they hide behind a nation’s iron curtains.
To forward their diabolical. illegal schemes.

                           Definition 

Virtue signaling is the “popular “ modern habit of  
indicating that one has virtue….merely by expressing 
disgust or favor for certain political ideas or cultural 
happenings.”

So when the government demands a mandate 
People follow saying,“ see I am a good person!”
It has nothing to do with how you as a human rate,
Virtue is based on your goodness..precious mate.
