The Kite
Am I the only one to think
that a kite is such a sad thing?

Flimsy...frail...
never really free,
forever tied to a string

Yes, it can soar indeed,
so high, with the wind taking it places,
almost making it forget,
just enjoying...

Has Anyone Lived Long Enough
Has anyone lived long enough,
To finish cleaning out the garage.

Has anyone lived long enough,
To see leftover room in kitchen cupboards.

Has anyone lived long enough,
To bear witness to a man who sees no need for anymore...

Batteries a modern day curse or the answer to all our problems
Batteries for this, 
Batteries for that,
Batteries that are for him,
Batteries that are for her.

Batteries that are charged,
Batteries that can be re-charged
Batteries that can no longer be charged.

Batteries that are flat,
Batteries that are thin,
Batteries that are...

Bedding Down In the Colding
For the first time 
since the end of Summer, 
Mr. Nobody wears his socks to bed, 
a sad admission that 
things were going to get worse. 
Can't count on the

No one likes to be called stupid
but given how people act 
it’s reasonable to ask: 
Is there a adjective better suited?]

with that other need, piddling
though in an emergency
the pleasure does compare...

Premium Member Tempest in a Teapot
The tempest in a teapot,
sits there as it may,
though it bothers none,
that is bothersome,
though bother surely begot.

The tempest in a teapot,
sits there and bestilled,
control the free will,
is absolute nil,
but left alone it was naught.

Somewhere I Grew Up
Amidst the people I knew,
Those who had pains to go through
Jumping from exams to exams,
Not able to retrieve the horrid pangs
They slept with algebra clan,
And saw the morning light with geometry gang
But still between my...

Grandads new old slippers
Granddads slippers started to wear,
And then tear,
Until more than a stitch here,
And stitch there,
Would be required, or a new pair,
Needed by the end of the year.
A suitable needle and thread did appear,
And for another year...

An apple a day keeps the doctor away;
But hugs are the best for your heart.

Silence
Silence among enemies,
Means more jobs for spies,
To see how the land lies.

Silence among friends,
Means it is time to build bridges,
Down through the ages.

Silence among Lovers,
Means less need for daily showers,
And hairdryers.

Silence in the Forest,
Means it...
