Long Every dog has its day Poems

After winning a sweepstakes, I determined to go on a lengthy trip;
And I wanted to tour the mainland, after I had disembarked the ship.

The countryside was quite beautiful, and had myriad charming towns,
Some with the...

They say...

Still waters run deep...
Then why are there so many shallow people?

When it rains it pours...
Usually the day after I wash my truck.

Walk softly and carry a big stick...
Or walk hard and carry a small...

Composed: by Tom Wright

The man who coined the aphorism “Seize the Day”
Didn’t always mean “The Ends Justify the Means” but may.
Many have said “Rules Were...

Manila folder,
Growing older,
Lying on table,
Watching other files,
Grow bolder,
It was earlier looked upon,
Now ignored,
As if it was dead,
After a bloody gore,
They had submerged in its custody,
A lot many papers and notes,
Carrying dates and events,
About people and...

Toro was waiting anxiously at the local
dog shelter, with sad lonely eyes. He paced
back and forth, as the days passed him by.

   If I wasn't a little Chihuahua, maybe they
would choose me then....

The odds were never Even Stevens
I have yet to find the Garden of Eden
Differences even in what we believe in
Ungrateful for such freedom
So quick to commit treason
Even without good reason
So typical and often every season
Occurs...

"Wings of Icarus"


every angel for himself

the sky never falls
when love carries its 
shining sword on clouds 
walking on a blue Ichthys ocean 

words each feather
waxing lyrical wings
enfolding the fallen labyrinth
opening golden grail stories

wings of Icarus...

Your nothing but a nobody
Tryin’ to step to somebody
Swaggerin’ with your bling-bling glistening’ in the shade
Sportin’ last year’s Jordan’s with untied laces

Spittin’ venom and ejecting weak game
Day dreamin’ fantasies…talkin’ jive 
Pushin’ hard to be my...

Into the solar system
Outreaching myself
Intense grief, mourning
Into cake and wedding dress

Galvanized poorly, the rust
About to topple into ochre
Coated stardust glittering
As we discover the truth

Not enough good, oh but for better
For worse, for years, for a...

While his glory is fading
Into the years
All he can do
Is sit back and drink beers

Once he was an immortal
A legend in flesh

Now in freefall
Of which he can’t express

Once paying money
They came to witness his bouts
Just...

Why crawl;
 when you can slither,
   Your motive and actions,
 you might reconsider.

   You portray you
 know what you're doing,
   I know the kind of potion;
 you are brewing.

A fine morning to watch the birds
By the ocean side. My dog by my side.
Deep cool breeze
Setting ablaze my ribs
My jacket and the dog’s fur
All I needed and asked for
Perfect company and comfort
…a lonely life.

My...

Among so many rocks and leafs
As well as animals that squawk or squeak
Talk is cheap

Many things considered a dime a dozen
Like limes and onions

You're either with or against the clock
Whether it is continually making sense...

Do you know what it’s like
To be required no more,
To be put out to grass,
To be kicked out the door,
To know your work’s ended,
No more will be done,
To be slung on the tip,
Pushed aside by...

Of innumerable malignant deeds you were the doer!
You, urban man, on your knees you came with aim to flatter.

Dealt with a Sonnet and Haiku futility

The Truth Will Out

Every dog has its day,
But soon enough it will fade away.
When its day has been and gone,
You will see I’ve done nothing wrong.
It won’t be long until you realise,

A man disappears where abouts unknown
Not at his work not at his home

His right leg in a country wind
 
Days later his left arm in a ditch
All is quiet,...
