"San Francisco, Open Your Golden Gate"
In my youthful primes some numerous years ago,
while Haight-Ashbury flickers in San Francisco,
ex-law enforcers, lawyers, demagogues all,
met in the solemn grand chambers of City Hall,
to pass a bill addressing our Golden Gate bridge,
about soaring suicides, change bad press to a smidge.
Assemblage preponderance praised a costly deal,
for one city hemmed in a fiscal crossroads, reel,
till one member from the smaller opposition,
gave a counter-proposal, his own volition.
The bulk of them chose a huge net beneath, lengthwise,
high above passing ships, close to those jumping guys.
The sole man gave his views, first, condemning their choice,
stating, it's an eyesore, monstrous, in a loud voice,
he says his plan was cheap, so much so, he will pay,
and taxpayers need not lose out on their mainstay.
What he had said, left the entire chamber -- dumbstruck,
"You can't stop those headstrong that life's not worth a buck,"
"Stupid!" "Ludicrous!" "Outrageous!", members were floored,
He ends, "Is there an issue with my diving board?"
*This was true but since neither succeeded, I guess the press left it off the front page and put it in the Sunday edition comic section, nevertheless, we San Franciscans knew.

Dumbstruck
~~charles messina: Judged 2021 August 29
Wasnt knwing how hard it is to find a soulmate
A frnd whom i could love a frnd i could hate
A thunder strom went frm above my head
Left me pale and red
Wanted a soulmate whom i could held but there was no one .. so depressed i felt .
A shimmer hope of light came .
I thought it would heal my wounds
But i forget that the earth is round
Ppl r same all around
When i needed a soulder to cry
None was bothered what happend to me i dk why
R my friends fake ..
Or they r just with me for their own sake .
Many things went inside my head but had no body with whom i could discuss .. or to whom i could curse
I felt very lonely yes that was the time i needed a break
Cuz of my increased aches
I wanted to hung myself up thn thought of my familys love
At night i sobbed .. sneeze and whize .
My roomates complained me about the sounds nobody tried to felt the wounds.
When did everyone became socreul .is this the real world
Now i hve learned to stay happy in my own
Seed of happiness cant be sown
Its a thinking that u hve to delelop learn to be happy
Without depending upon external love
Enjoy your life to fullest fulfil all ur bucket lists
Because you only live once
Fulfill them before the time runs??
One-hundred percent Italian descent:
four grandparents crossed the ocean, went
through Ellis Island, from Italy sent;
my Italian roots, one-hundred percent.
But D N A samples now tested, ruled-
genetic ancestry can have you fooled!
With full Italian descent overruled-
gene structure in me- completely retooled.
Dumbstruck that percentages showed so clear
my pie chart was sliced- not a full sphere,
my mind was lost in this new-found frontier,
and wiped out ideas that I held so dear.
Through tests, my genetic past now revealed,
sixty-four percent Italian did yield!
Thirty-six percent now unconcealed
some ancestors came from lands far afield!
Mid-Eastern, Caucasus, Iberian too,
Some Jewish, Scandinavian, plus a few
chance Irish genes to mix up the brew.
My former beliefs are now so untrue.
But, soon I accepted this new-found me,
like others amazed, as shown on TV,
surprised, but excited as I can be-
with a varied, colorful, mixed ancestry!

Her first date out was going to be groovy, lots of fun and go to a movie. Her girlfriend and date did go, they were off to enjoy the night with a glow. Half way through the movie show, his wandering hand went up her shirt real slow. He became dumbstruck to find no calling card, a very tight girdle was standing guard.

A few days back I visited an old time friend
To travel down the memory lane on a week end
As we spent the quality time over high tea
The evening passed us by on a lively spree
While leaving I inquired about their daughter, Suhash
Her mother said she was busy with paint and brush
Being interested in painting I wanted to see
How much accomplished in this art she might be
I saw the young girl sitting upright a bit tense
Arranged in front were paint tubes in VIBGYOR sequence
The brush in her hand made strokes rather unsurely
I thought because she was in a room lit very poorly
Her mother said to her daughter destiny hadn’t been kind
In her world darkness didn’t matter for she was blind
In color she dreamt her dreams she would paint
Until in darkness they dissolved and became faint
Looking at the girl and her painting I was dumbstruck
Felt sorry life had proffered a young girl such a bad luck.

DUMBSTRUCK
Every time I am with you, I am dumbstruck,
overcome with excitement, being stuck
in feeling funky, groovy, crazy like I am seventeen.
Hard to behave like a lady, nearing seventy.
Sitting across you, gazing at your smiley eyes
while we talk, sip our drinks between our smiles,
makes me feel a wild flower child instead of a grown,
mature woman for letting all my feelings out, known.
I am surprised for it was hard for me to like somebody
for my elusive heart was frozen in time, numbly.
I caught your eye and you melted my frozen heart,
made it feel again and warmed it until it sparked.
I am amazed by you and when I find myself dumbstruck
thinking of you under the moonlight, I become moonstruck.

Dumbstruck Is Me (a rhyming, acrostic kind of thing)
Discombobulated, how apt the word
Utterly gobsmacked by the absurd
Mind numbingly mortified at the nonsensical
By waking to find I’m without either testicle
Silenced as side by side they’re strung together
To hang on the wall there forever... and ever
Running around with another man’s wife
Until I returned to a well concealed knife
Could not comprehend the Snip! Cut! and Sever!
Knock me down with a feather
I’m finding my voice is now three octaves higher
She says that it’s my fault for poking the fire
Mandy, it’s not fair that I lie here dumbstruck
Even though I was a self serving dumbf...

Dumstruck - Dk
I am dumbstruck by the advent of invention
Not jut in science and technology but also in art and writing
For now I create and share poetry without even knowing
Poetry my first love
Art and craft my next
We are now in an era where time is flying
Good to know we have advanced so much
That malice and greed is no longer that much
Nations are helping
People are learning
Civilizations are changing
People are doing
It’s a good era to be born in
People are awakened to their own potential as human beings
I seldom remember times when we had no computer
Those were times when food and shelter were for go getters
Those fights are not anymore if you do it right
Enjoying the birth of invention
Is a privilege for very many
Let’s not waste them frivolously
It's fun having fun with English,
Children are smart, sometimes we're not;
Enjoy this, call it what you wish,
One of the wittiest I got,
"How many kidneys do we have?"
The teacher asked the bright young boy,
"Four", replied he, (what a brainwave!)
The teacher laughed, he did enjoy,
The boy explained, "WE have got four,
Two of mine and two of yours, Sir",
Dumbstruck, the teacher laughed no more,
This boy, when grown, caused quite a stir!
He became a great humourist*,
The school, I'm sure, was his first stage,
He knew how to give a fun twist
To the witty English language.

(True story found in the Web)
Ever notice some looking at a cell phone,
while they are walking along- they just keep on talking;
or they are just looking and detached- and all else is unknown,
I watch them from my balcony getting off the bus and walking.
Now, the winding pathway into my building is quite dangerous,
it has many bumps and uneven surfaces, dips and cracks;
a guy on his cell was walking this path treacherous,
DUMBSTRUCK- he falls still looking at the cell phone as he smacks !
