Premium Member More ado about Nothing

Nothing

Is not no-thing

No-thing implies

A thing..but 

Nothing implies

Something..

Circling...



Nothing

May seem to

Suggest

Equality as

Freedom...



Nothing 

Is not imaginable

Untouchable..

But may seem

Obvious as 

Words dance...



A dictionary

Is nothing 

Appearing as 

A book with a

Listing of words

Appearances of

Nothing...



Not knowing

And nothing

Different words

Begging to express

What cannot be

Expressed...



Uncertainty

A fading certainty..

A story of

Nothing

Nipping at edges...



The word

Nothing

Recalls something

But the something

May suddenly

Explode...


Hail the Queen, We Bid You Ado

“Maybe in your next life “Krishna said

Because we really don’t know what happens, after your dead

Well, our president has beat the charge

our military now list him as “at large”? 

Tomorrow will still keep its Dawn

Because of a memory it must carry on


Will the criminals be allowed to rule?

And are we allowed the devils tools

Perhaps the plan that our gods intend

Is to overthrow our heroes who were built by pretend

yet who is the god and what is their gender?

from whence did they come the west or Eastender

Perhaps theirs a story that needs to be told

but who are the tellers the young or the old

asking for facts yet not accepting the truth

you will squander your wisdom on our untrained youth

the queen has now died and left our earth

still gathering friends and pocketing girth

there are laws in place to protect her grave

for those who steal from what she saved

"Dethrone them all" as Alice would say

"For the thrones made of gold and we shall spend it this way!

Premium Member the ado of nature

"Niagra and the wise."

fresh waters of life
relief self impurities
to a fateful fall

"Do you hear what I hear?"

rawhide winds of war
birched last's stand amidst saviors
a tree faints away

"The void that Earth began."

mirages are dreams
of sand ~ prep A -- straight line to
... be -- and stay alive

"The Beaches of Warwick" NOT JK

Cher baby don't go
Miami sharks are biting
deBATE ~ still they go

"2024 sales higher than street drugs."

against popular
demand ~ Americans still
care of how they look

"The nature of ado."

it's a time for us
all the kids will visit me
~ the ado I need

Premium Member In a Day of the Life of a Bard Is Much Ado About Nothing

By morn, and under cerulean skies,
     he rises from sheets and soft pillows of down;
and gives praise; for the Lord is just and wise,
     and great to behold by this earth all round.
By noon, he sets about his songs and rhymes,
     labors whose creation gives him pleasure,
and purpose, for an infinite lifetimes;
     pressed down, piled, and parceled with good measure.
Then, by eve, lest beastly Insomnia
     comes, he now and anon derives his rest
from the night's orgies with the Muses: a
     reward that none may oppose, or protest.
A bard chaste for all time, and hence unloved,
finds love with the muses: for they're beloved.

Premium Member Much Ado About Poo

Much Ado About Poo

We purchased so called “big boy pants”
complete with all their “cans and can’ts”
thought potty training a big mistake
till the day he yelled “I made a snake!!!”


Cats will cover up their load
horses drop it in the road
birds can do it while they fly
dropping it on the passersby
people do it in their homes
in rooms – complete - with useless tomes
chronicles of endless strife
missing pages - used to wipe
whales do doo-doo in the sea
where grinning people also pee
bears – they have no cant’s – they have no ‘shoulds’
they just do it in the woods
people on the other hand
think each movement something grand
ritualize the where and when
each plopping splash – a perfect ten
why must there be so much ado
‘bout when and where and how – we poo
