I Cannot Weight To Hmm

I Cannot Weight To Hmm...
Be Pressed By A Dumbbell

Two fifteen pound
     steely danse sing
     wrought iron dumbbells
     ill-tempered, impatiently,
     and intensely a weight
their turn to hmm... press me,
     and forthwith dense trait
heavy handed prestidigitation

     to yours truly, this primate
currently attempting
     to craft sad excuse
     for a poem, sans far fetched
     notion, aye trite re: late
engendering, foisting, and goading
     bizarre lifelike qualities
     to inanimate solid helpmate

to build (and/or oven
     just tone) muscles bitterly, painfully,
     resignedly wince, where washboard
     abdomen long a goner
     impossible to recoup, 
     whar hide didst narrate
ting hours sculpting great
former Adonis build

     on these, now nada so lovely
     bones, and experience 
     spiritual strife to oscillate,
     perhaps witness sing 
     angst to esse skill late
heady feeling healthy vim within
     myself, how just
     with verily at least dedicate

half hour exercise can be great
for body, mind, and
     soul triage, otherwise...
     basic gravitational laws
     of physics gladly
     hand me unwanted fate,
how gradually physique
     will eventually demonstrate

flabby, droopy, and
     unwanted addy post tissue create
ting another reason to berate,
castigate, emasculate, where
     self repudiation will germinate
(albeit, thence in extremis), yours truly
     doth relinquish fitness regime
     resulting sparking, and taste

     testing casus belli dictate
tête-à-tête, viz hasty
     unconditional surrender to
     a void mortal kombat,
     which latter, would exterminate,
the forces of yin and yang,
     re: lee (I rub hurts) loch cur,
     thence finding me fraught,

     (yule hiss see - uselessly)
     grant ting soul 
     option to disintegrate,
in the event emotional civil war,
rents asunder every fiber
     of mine being, which
    wrath wracked wraith self destruction 
     twill woefully satiate.


Shaggy Dog Limericks Iv

The Labradoodle

It’s clear that the scamp is a Poodle
By its frolicsome dabble and doodle
But add a big part
Of the Labrador’s heart
And you’ve got the whole kit and caboodle

The Labrador Retriever (Lab)

The Lab a friend gave to his daughter
Had a chronic aversion to water
He’d cling to the shore
Like a rug to the floor
To avoid making waves like he oughter

The Lagotto Romagnolo

It caused quite a local kerfuffle
When he called a potato a truffle*
By the time it was done
A committee of one
Went and cancelled his license to snuffle

(*known for their skill at finding truffles)

The Leonberger

There are dogs that are bigger than these
Like some Mastiffs and Great Pyrenees
But few are more stately
Or admired more greatly
For their grace and perpetual ease

The Lhasa Apso

Just repeat: Lhasa apso not ipso
That’s a facto: I’m sharing this tip so
You don’t make a flub
With the whole Lhasa Club
While they contemplate your membership so

The Maltese

I once knew a Maltese named Tawny
Who was quick and ill-tempered and scrawny
While protecting a crumb
Nearly took off my thumb
Now he sleeps with the fish in the Suwannee

The Mastiff

The Mastiff’s a glorious sight
With a name that exemplifies might
Now imagine this house
The size of a mouse
A “toy mastiff” just doesn’t sound right

The Mutt

A mutt may show up with a rat
Do some terrible things to your hat
But he’s happy for sure
Just to roll in manure
And so grateful that he’s not a cat

The Newfoundland (Newfie)

One day on the nearby horizon
He encountered an ornery bison*
And though it was large
The Newfie took charge
Mattered not what the difference in size in

The Norwegian Elkhound

Look honey, look what I found!
It’s an orphaned Norwegian elkhound!
He’ll be easy to raise
With some love and some praise
And a pasture that serves as a pound

Beautiful and Free

Heal the sorrow, uproot the sad willow 
Make it happy
There's another tomorrow to borrow
To set you free 

Burn away the icy ickiness inside me
Churn away the sea of distress that I see
Brew away the sensation of solitude
Chase away my ill-tempered interlude

Many smiles will weigh down the frowns
Many suns will guide you towards moonlit towns
Many hours spent with you is oh so wonderful
Many times, I tell you you're always beautiful 

You are...
Beautiful and free 
My star...
You'll be free as can be 
Your scar...
Will be cured as you flee

You are like an alien on this planet of plenty
You are a passerby, roaming in liberating captivity 
Ready or not, I'm coming to the rescue 
Believe me, you will be the happier you 

Make it happy -
The sorrow that leaves you feeling
Rather crappy
I know, these emotions aren't so appealing

Reality is a cruel, yet honest weapon
That fights our battles or stabs our back
You need some faith fuel once again
So, carry on, carrion heart upon your sack

Never forget how much you mean to me
Never seek revenge, but forgiveness alone shall live
Victory is in the hands of the man of glee
Never take avengeful actions lightly - there's love to give

Enliven the gladness, enlighten the owl's ancient elegance
Make it restore grace to this verse
Renew the remedy of relieving remembrance 
To ensnare the burden's curse 
And to unwrap unconditional utility...
Uprooting the sad willow's vain insanity 

It's the only way
To unchain you from your fatality 
Starting today,
I'm going to make you beam, truly

It's the only way
To make you beautiful and Free
With my cheerful sway,
I shall encourage eternal ecstasy

It's the only way,
My beautiful and free angel 
It's the only way
Above the ruins of your cell

The Chimney

I’ve come back to the place where I had grown,
a place no more as it once was known.
Not a roof, not a room, not one wall left,
just an old, weathered chimney standing alone.

An ill-tempered wind swept from the hillside tops
that spun relentlessly through the leafless copse
and across fallow fields long now disused
that once had yielded sustaining crops.

The skies oblique with murmurations
of small black birds that, without hesitation,
alit, then rose in tornadic swirls
of airborne dances without cessation.

A tractor sat solemnly by a clattering gate
now a rusted reminder that time won't wait.
And the path that wound to the moldering shed
overrun with thistles that sealed its fate.

And where once stood the old front door
now just a cracked and crumbled floor.
Then, as I turned and faced the chimney tall,
familiar voices resonated once more.

Though perceived, still filled with laughter
and childlike questions of timeless matter
from a once-close family about the hearth
brought a blissful end to life’s daily chapter.

I stood silently, my senses sublimely allured,
while present time was much obscured;
my melancholic thoughts embraced
those voices from the hearth I heard.

Then, all illusions gone, the chimney tall
seemed out of place without a wall,
without a family ‘round it girthed,
a silent sentinel that should never fall.

I turned and walked, my thoughts unspoken,
and knew well now the chains were broken;
but though the chimney, which stood unscathed,
meant nothing more than memory’s token.

Give and Take

when i grow up, i wanna be a pickpocket
more respectable perhaps than a hypocrite
to tell the truth i really don't want to remit
yet it seems kinda unkind, to just be opposite

so i'll say to you the outrage i feel
'bout things that to me, seem too unreal
i'm tired of stuff that strikes a raw deal
those daily events that seem...so surreal

how can it be allowed to be a part of our lives
with so many against it, even before it arrives
our very civilization predicted not to survive
if it's allowed to go on unchecked and thrive

hoodies and harpies of careless said stuff
people state their lies right off the cuff
and detested words of hate, just to be tough
loudly shouted sounds seem truth, odd enough

so let's be sure we're against what they say
we shouldn't entertain it any other way
it's either our lives, or theirs in disarray
no point compromising to meet anyone halfway

"live and let live" are just some empty words
to be followed blindly by opposition's herds
we know their belief is just for the birds
besides, we have no leanin's that way towards

you may think i'm a bore and a bit ill-tempered
even go further to say i'm totally self-centered
entertain the thought of intransigence engendered
but you gotta admit, at least i'm remembered

don't want no platitudes, jus' gimme a break
the bes' glass is full, for my thirst to slake
it's better for everyone, 'specially my sake
to live life by the rule of, you give and i take

some might misunderstand, unable to fathom
don't want to cause you to involuntarily spasm
but i offer my view with honest enthusiasm
if you don't know by now, just a bit of sarcasm

Listen

Longing
Illuminated
Shame just came
Tension
Empty
Negotiating with...positivity

Lamenting
Imagination soars
Sheltered by shimmering shamelessness
Tranquility
Elegant
Nothing matters...happily

Lively as heavens
Ill-tempered and living a imperfect illusion
Shedding tears...fears...wanting cheers...
Tormented by silence
Empty as a drum
Never-ending nostalgia is next in line

Love
Is
Super
Terrific
Enjoy
Neverending utopia

Listen...you must listen
I
Sincerely,
Together,
Encourage you to be
Nice

Leave...me...alone
I
Swim
Tribulation after tribulation
Excitement and exhilarating times spent with you...spent with you...it's a dream come true...
Never forget - listen...and do

Lonely in my brain...
Invigorating ideas brew in me
Silly me - I make mistakes too
Tug on me...cuddle away the envy
Essentially, I'll be on the road once again
Notice this - you are loved

Listen oh so subliminally...mindfully...graciously...gloriously...
I see happiness and joy, but why am I sad? Why am I mad? I'm misunderstood and no good...I'm a Gemini, ghastly given a glistening notion - I'm a poet with words of knowledge and yes, I understand almost everything
Saturated in distress...PTSD in the process...obliterate all pessimism...replace it with optimism
Tainted with timidity
Elevate my mood
Never say no to desire that puts you on fire...it's exaggerated in excellence and radiance that shines on till the break of dawn

Believe in Brave, True Dignity

Brazen blessings burn on like the arrival of the dawn
Elevated to the max
Lovely knowledge comes to mind 
Impressive words of wisdom come and go…but, it should be here to stay
Empathetic vibes..
Venting
Encouragement

Intriguing,
Nostalgic thoughts bleed through me…entirely soaked in lullabies..

Brainwashed in my past sins…repenting in the present through thick and thin 
Roam Home
And stay brave, true and full of dignity 
Vehemently vibrant with optimism and pessimism combined 
End the highs and lows — I want to be neutral and need His word to overflow in my mind into my heart and out of my tongue of life 

Tremendous, yet turbulent feelings…flood…fervently…and…profoundly so 
Remedy please? And thank you…
Unfortunately, I wasted too much time..but I’m fortunate to wait on His time frame…the clock is ticking by, tormenting me — can’t deny…
Eager to serve His people from on high

Dreamt of delightful dignity and compassion from on high
Intentions matter…irrational, icky, ill-tempered foolishness — wisdom is needed and whatever happens happens
Gracious glory matter too
Never-ending nymphs of notions flutter in my negotiable noggin
Isolate fear and include hope
Terribly terrific trials make me smile
You’re the one, running the extra mile…with me this time…

Manufactured Affection

Iron and steel
are the revered objects of their
quasi-holy zeal 
Earthly things fashioned from
corrupt flesh
Faithlessly forged by corrosive will — 
The profit mold of imperfection
was a raw mass subjugation ordeal
Their Farsi prayer slag,
(reprobate words poured in molten anger) 
tainted lip lust for power 
	       is an egregious envy spill

Hear those anvil-and-hammer hearts pound,
vengeful voices making that jihad sound:
Sickle-shaped tears falling to the ground

Ill-tempered tones, whose eyes say,
“Hate the heretics!”
But their bosoms have blind ambition;
a pulse patented attraction,
manufactured affection

The hollow halo ones 
hate the foreigners
But they love their weapons

The Holy jihad daughters and sons
love the heretics’
armored chariots and soulless guns

Righteous indignation wrongly misplaced,
inordinate desire for an inorganic embrace

Veil tempted to acquire iron and steel,
mass-produced idolatry
Becoming temple trespassers,
sacred vow violators — 

Infatuated tech thieves,  
whose bazaar passion is to possess
engineered blasphemy

Having haji visions — 
A triumphant caravan of
killing machines
Their road to Paradise
is paved by
carnage offerings unclean

Premium Member Civil Discourse

Let us deport-- with skill--
Let us discourse--with care--
Powder exists in Charcoal--
Before it exists in Fire.        
                                   ~ Emily Dickinson

Good words anoint, ill words kill 
                                   ~ Florio


It's said that sticks and stones break bones
   but words can serve as weapons too,
so wield with caution what you write
   let civil discourse have its due. 

A finely crafted turn of phrase
   will prove more winsome than a harsh
phillipic or a raging rant
   that drags one's soul down like a marsh. 

Are not our writings most effective 
  when our readers wish to read
our inner thoughts, instead of feeling 
  whipped by some ill-tempered screed? 

When I hear thunder's crash, I flee 
   from lightning's sharp, injurious ray -
I hear your thunder, not your words
   As though you speak a mile away.

I'm not promoting caged emotions;
   ire and outrage have their place,
but when the missile shrieks, there's few
   still left the message to embrace.
