Iou

In debt

Not  yet

Upset 
I fret

Iou

He wrote a novel, with just 3 letters, on his headstone
A novel, that was different, to everyone
Timeless, yet eternally grateful
He left thanks, for all those he loved

Just below, 2 dates, and his name
Sat the letters, for all those, who came
Once read, they wrote, their stories
And no one, ever left the same

Engraved in the letters, that

Spring's Coming An Iou In Lieu

Slovenly winter's sojourn lingers, but dwindles away.
Petulant cold snaps, squalls and hail the exit price you pay.
Riddance wrung from season squeezed by hugs to relent reluctantly.
In dawn's budding yolk core, a sign of hope that Spring's door shunt
Nurtures renewal, renounces enfeebled winter gloom with enlightened lilt.
Get those shoes on, ready for a gamboling, frolicking dance

A Debtor's Iou

When in life, what's been borrowed come's due.
Feel blessed if you get an iou.
Just a little more time.
When you ain't got a dime.
And you can keep the ten in your shoe.

An Iou

An IOU or
Changing of the Guard

For things to be swell, does your head have to swell?
And always have to be bright to ring the bell
When you do it a special to buy will appear
After a person has made it perfectly clear.

It takes two fingers in one hand to form a "V"
Which of course you know

I.O.U.

Drivel
dribbled from those lips of ours
while climbing streets and chasing cars
peeling back our velum skin
removing duty, tasks again.

Drivel 
trickled from our sanguine lips
reddened by a vibrant sun
infinite, treasured, playful trips
of youth perfected, minds begun.

Drivel 
fueled creativity in our veins
more effective than any lecture
more durable than the double AAs
powering flashlights at bedtime.

Drivel
was never 
just 
Drivel.
