Premium MemberPoetic Podcast Episode 44

Universal high income, 
money has become irrelevant.

No justification for anything anymore
no desires
no struggles 
no ambition
no faith 
no sex
no devotion 
no good shoes
no real food 
no attraction 
no smiles 
no raising the bar
no becoming the best version of ourselves 
and knowing exactly who we are.

Universal high income. 
Money may become irrelevant,
but purpose never will.

Premium MemberWhen I

Don't pout when I smile
Don't hate when I am away in mile
Don't push when I stand
Don't flush when I taste bland
Don't spurn when I land
Don't burn when I am in your hand 
Don't block when I step aside
Don't flock when I abide 
Don't dive when I disappear 
Don't derive when I am not near
Don't repine when I am not fine
Don't define when I forget to draw the line
Don't run when I walk
Don't pun when I talk
Don't skip when I stay
Don't slip when I go astray
Don't keep when I don't beep
Don't lit when I don't knit 
Don't frown when I am a clown
Don't drown when I am not a noun
Don't...

Premium MemberTen Things I Need on a Desert Island

ten things I need if I only get ten choices
and I get stranded on a desert island

1. electricity
2. water
3. food
4. breathable air
5. internet access
6. my phone
7. I-pad
8. TV
9. dog, Buddy
10. dog, Beau

I might have traded number eight for my husband
but then he whined.
I detest whining.

Premium MemberGone But Not Forgotten

        Pennies dropped on the sidewalk
        Teens who hate to text, love to talk

        A watch that tells time
        A beggar who asks for a dime

        Stray kittens that jump in your arms
        Surgeons who think, ‘First do no harm’

        Stay-at-home moms who make their kids’ lunch
        Guilt-free calorie-laden desserts to munch

        Policemen who smile at old ladies and kids
        Glass jars filled with ladybugs and twigs


Premium MemberShots of Imagination

The horror of reality is tied to money,
the horror of reality you cannot wake-
The horror of reality makes my head spin,
the horror of reality? 
I’d just as soon run from-
The horror of reality you can’t make up,
the horror of reality you can’t unsee-
The horror of reality pushes me to indulge
the horror of reality 
with shots of imagination-
The horror of reality is quite enough,
the horror of reality is truly unsettling-
The horror of reality rattles your core,
the horror of reality 
sticks to you just like comfort food-
The horror of reality is demanding
the horror of reality be destroyed- 
the horror of reality 
you want to gloss right on over -
The horror of reality
with strong foundation..

Premium MemberPistachios Kind of Love

A little bit nutty;
A little bit feisty;
A little bit salty
a little bit extra sometimes;

Just a hint of green 
enough to turn their eyes;
Just like a California sunset 
as unique as a West coast sky;

A little bit intense,
a little goes a long way:
A little bit of flavor 
a little sweet to savor;

Hot days cool intimate nights;
Laid back pistachios kind of love.

Premium MemberWrap-Wrap

I come in different shades,
Like the ones in a rainbow cake.
I taste in different shapes,
I was mixed like a milkshake.
I was blended with coconut milk
As soft as silk.
Try me,
You'll never forget me.
Or else
I'll wrap you myself!

Premium MemberDiet Dilemma

Dreadful diet
But I'll deny it
I’m a hypocrite
One banana split
Won’t hurt a bit
But as I go to sit
My jeans seams split
I’m not proud of it


Healthy diet
I will try it
Must grill it
Not fry it
Buy gym kit
I must commit
And not quit
Lose weight… quite a bit
Now my clothes fit
I’m proud of it!

Premium MemberCorona Cabin Fever

I have
a squirrel-like stash of food
Two cases of paper towels
72 rolls of TP
Read seven books
Cleaned out the bottom drawer
Washed the cat
Run out of band aids 
Found a coloring book and some crayons
Colored outside the lines
Refused to watch daytime TV
Contemplated my navel
Removed the lint 
Done a push-up
Vacuumed under the couch
Watched the weather 12,368 times
Found a spoon
Started digging the tunnel

Premium MemberGrandma's Dill Pickle

I can still smell the scent of pickling spice drifting through the house- a pickle is just a cucumber, whether it is a cuke, spear, or coin in a brine of white vinegar, water, spices and pickling salt and left to ferment for days, weeks, sometimes years but still remain always cool and so crunchy forever crispy- no matter the length delightfully sour, the most is best low calorie snack for anytime or addition to a sandwich and just plain delicious oh, I crave a pickle _______________________ February 21, 2020 Poetry/List/Grandma's Dill Pickle Copyright Protected, ID 20-1227-376-03 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Submitted to the Standard contest, Your Fav poem not for a contest sponsor, John Hamilton Seventh Place
