lovely lithe lightweight lilliputian Lily
loaded lazy lethargic lounging lizards
likely lightsome live-wires lingering
in lap of Louisianan lizard lane
small gust from my mouth
signals coldness of warehouse
even in summer
Loading, loading…
Almost at 100 percent.
Maybe someday.
Loading, loading…
Everything is happy.
Even the sounds of glass breaking.
Or a shoe stomping off snow.
Loading, loading…
My car is small.
I cried when my old nightstand didn’t fit.
Everything is broken.
Except my car, so I use it to run.
Loading, loading…
You will never have.
100 percent.
Of anything.
Even your hair.
Because you plucked out strands out of stress.
Loading, loading…
Nothing will be complete.
That class picture that I stood in.
My smile wasn’t great.
Not good enough.
Loading loading…
99 percent perfect.
Is the worst thing in the world.
Rain drips from trailer
running down my neck soaking
my shirt and hoodie
It's really simple
Load your heart with love or fill your gun with rage
Maybe you could do both, just in case life turns squirrely.
A truck driver passes through
a hole in the sky
His rig self inclusive,
his load staying dry
Eighteen wheels of redemption,
the manifest signed
Delivery as promised
—his docking sublime

Like Loading Cattle In Seattle
When we will spend time in Seattle,
We would like loading lots of cattle;
See Rainer;
Docile deer;
What to do next, we had big battle.

Lived in Redmond, WA near Seattle
from August 1976 to May 2001.
Really liked it but too expensive.
Welcome to the darkness
greetings from your mess
do not fear the shadows
make peace with your distress
Strong are those who occupy
the corners of their mind
where thoughts turn in to feelings
and comfort has resigned
Hang out with your grief
struggle with affliction
gain power over conflict
and conquer mental friction
High five your inner demons
recognize them well
deal with them the best you can
then send them back to hell
Shake hands with sorrow
and look it in the eye
let it have its way with you
then kiss its ass goodbye
Suffering makes us deep
avoidance is unwise
you must endure the struggle
to release the pain and rise
Self-awareness is the remedy
when you feel like you're imploding
so be mindful of your bad-side
while your sanity is loading…
Grey circles spin in my head
dancing with rainbow wheels
the bar is only half green
no ideas come into my head, not even one
A blank page laughs in my face
A PoetSouper trying so hard to rhyme ,
Took a chance at downloading on line .
The unlucky sod
Blew~up his I~pod ,
But his curses were verses sublime .
