Tear Jerker

Harry and Meghan each yearn to be seen
As pillars of U.S. community
So publicly private, this faux King and Queen
Bespoil the royals with impunity

Harry said, “Hey, there’s a newspaper guy,
So fetch the kids up from the dungeon.
I’ll make sure he brings his photographer by
While you go and peel a large onion.”

The journalist sat just as Meghan came in
He said, “We should start talking soon.”
She said (once she’d practiced her quivering chin)
“Remember that you play our tune.”

“So listen,” said Meghan, “this tear on my cheek,
Will show up quite well with the light to one side.
This photo could well be your shot of the week,
If I rub my eyes sore like I’ve cried.

“Please put in your paper we won’t milk our names,
Our royal connections we’ve hurled.
We intend to fashion our own brand of fame,
As Princess and Prince of the world!”

Trump An Emmisary Or a Missionary

Trump an Emmisary Or a Missionary

Can you imagine Trump  being an emmisary;
Maybe a maniac who had been a missionary;
Sewer worker;
Soda jerker;
Whatever he was would really seem so scary.

Haiku Moment 6

Wet morning
Misty tear-jerker;
Dark skyline contours

~~~~~~~~~


Beyond this bridge
A new town;
People escalate

~~~~~~~~~


Cold and wet
Dreary morning sky;
Rain re-decorates

~~~~~~~~~


Espresso dawn
Tired eyes split open;
Caffeine surge

~~~~~~~~~


Work on words
Verbal collage;
Emergent light

~~~~~~~~~


Poise renders voice
Style happy smile;
Make moments count

~~~~~~~~~


Dreary dream drains
Play puzzle plain;
Grief gathers gain

~~~~~~~~~


Thought greets feeling:
See beyond sight;
Wise words work well

~~~~~~~~~


Feel sure miracle
Live sure purpose;
Glimpse fond sights

~~~~~~~~~


Blast of cold air
Sudden spine shivers;
Rain drenching

~~~~~~~~~


Feel stillness here:
Come to know truth;
Only love endures

~~~~~~~~~

Male macho am I
With bulging biceps and the rest
Stern indeed is my mien.

I take control 
My every move I plan
Hate sissies, I do!

Yet give me a tear-jerker
And I'll jerk them out
In copious streams!

But Macho am I
None can dare see me cry,
Reduced to Maudlin mush!

Give me a sob story
Chocolate melt is my heart
Macho is mucho gone!

Body sports, guts and grit
Is all very fine
But anyone game for a bit of bitching?

Metro, Hetro, Alpha and the rest
All words erased
With the pouf of purfume/scent!

ARDHANARISHWAR!

After the Snow Clean Up

for  the  hard worker
theyer not jerker
street getting clean
its not mean
do say thinks in everyway
for fighting this stuff
AFTER THE SNOW
CLEAN UO

Cityscapes 2

Deserted financial centre
Ghost town after dark;
Weekend constellations

~~~~~~~~~

Blank myth created
To express a fond wish;
Merlion antiquity

~~~~~~~~~


Old neighbour nods
Smiles in recognition;
Civilised exchange

~~~~~~~~~


Sing-song Good Morning
Little boy entertains;
Proud parent smiles approval

~~~~~~~~~


New journal pages
Awaiting sanguine soliloquy;
Expansive permutations

~~~~~~~~~


Words on a page
Taut revelations;
Insider trading conspires

~~~~~~~~~


Psalm of morning hues
Sunburst meditation;
Light speed aura

~~~~~~~~~


Evening sitcom moments
Scripted melodrama;
Favourite dinner fare

~~~~~~~~~


Poignant sad story
Tear-jerker streaking away;
Pending reconciliation

~~~~~~~~~


By this desk
Lyrics in verse align;
Exfoliated outbursts

~~~~~~~~~


Uncomfortable stress
Chasing that and this;
Organised unease

~~~~~~~~~


Yesterday retires
Today an offering;
Tomorrow perhaps

~~~~~~~~~


Style a fond smile
Sanguine as usual;
Clash of surprise

~~~~~~~~~

Capital Sin

A Capital Sin


There always seems to be some tear jerker

About you not being a miracle worker

Even after how hard you tried and tried

They continually have cried and cried.


With great attitude and pleasant disposition

How could you ever end up in a precarious position;

If they really had been in their right mind

Only peace and tranquility would they find.


With your pleasant smiles and awesome appearance

All of these are needed additional insurance

Which are there to welcome us back again

To condemn dentist or staff is considered a capital sin.


James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran
Wrote this after I read a negative comment 
about my dentist and all of his staff.

Tear Jerker

TEAR JERKER

when he wouldn’t eat
i knew something was wrong
and those helpless eyes
as though he wanted to tell me
he needed help    but no voice

when i met those eyes
something old as creation
communication
burned across primordial fires
transcending species    gender

“though I love you    friend
though I know that you love me
it is time to leave
talk very kindly to me
whispering    patting my head”
…………………………………………..
This in remembering all our animal friends that have gone over the last nearly 60 years

Rental

I wish I had the video
of all your mental pictures
so I could see what that night 
looked like, where he
touched you and why
you let him in…
I want to watch the whole
damn thing, shades drawn,
sitting on the couch
with only a box of Kleenex – 
I heard the ending
is a real tear-jerker. 

Knowing me, I’d watch it
over and over 
and pause
at the 
exact 
moment
you said yes, 
trying to read 
the eyes that now
tell 
me
nothing.
