bright red and glistening
 think for yourself 
chase tails of dogma
say no evil but show me rythmicly
all of your intentions 
and then run away
hide!

(alternately titled: Whew...
so glad I chose absentee/ mail-in ballot),
and agitate (poetically)
November presidential election
brings requisite equality.

Unforeseen (unprecedented)
stiff competition with protesters
crowdsourced within major
Pennsylvania metropolitan areas
necessitating president

to confront inconvenient truth
he (whom even
Voldemort would not name)
must trumpet forth progressive

Ephemeral online moment...

Yours truly plagiarizes himself with zeal
courtesy mental cogs and rusty wheel,
thus no literary crime committed to steel

forthwith shoddy wordplay exempts me
against copyright infringement...

Sitting, watching my favorite fishing channel on TV,

Then I hear my wife screaming, calling out to me.

Paying forward kindnesses done...
courtesy family, friend or stranger

Appreciative when nonagenarian
papa telepathically hears me yelp
and/or non twisted sisters,
who time and again offered
unsolicited beneficial help.

Indeed unable to reciprocate
that's not quite all he wrote

Get Out of My Face!

What brought all of that on?
Award?  This is not a movie!

If to be a winner, I must first suck up,
Then instead, I will gladly lose.
If to gain popularity means kissing butt,
Then a path alone I will seek and choose.

If to climb the ladder is scoring...

Truth be told said topic minimally embellished
rather, prattling youthful looking
baby booming geezer
precious time (yours), he doth bilk
(cue sinister mock-up halloween voice)

Write a “how-to” poem about something you don’t know how to do - 'being normal'

I can approximate it
I've seen it up close occasionally
Sleight of being
It's starts with etiquette, a learned behaviour

i am watching a mother sparrow
feed her offspring, we are blessed
by this innate ubiquitous nature

Wanting something more than just an entrance through the gate.
In this world we’re offered treasures in exchange for our life’s weight,
Like sacrificial brownie points towards our heavenly estate.

Perfectly loaded for bride and groom
From the mirror dangles a heirloom
Plenty room in...

Your smile never ceasing to gleam
Loving kindness to the extreme
Open heart most supreme
Qualities held in uttermost esteem
Words always sweeter than ice cream
Incapable of falsehood or scheme
As guileless and trusting as...

It's an eternal arrangement

Every week or two I have promised to send him some chocolate

Nothing fancy-just a thought from me to him

Just to let him know that I am on board with our destiny
