Zippitys Playground

The playground I chose to write about,
Is open twenty four seven, night or day,
It is beyond any expectable doubt, dangerous
Paradise to young animals, some human
Children perhaps even envious!
Zippity was a young, playful giraffe,
His mother always...

An Autumn Walk

One fine, blustering, autumn day an old gentleman walks from his home,
If anyone wondered where he was going he was on his way to a forest,
The old gentleman walked at a leisurely pace stopping now...

Life In the Fast Lane

She sits on the bathroom floor 
Hiding behind a tightly closed door 
Afraid that prying eyes will see 
What society has forced her to be 

With fingers pushed halfway down her throat 
On the remains...

Chief Complaint

Doctors getting exposed like popes,
Caught pulling the rope a dope,
Falling down the entropic slope,
No integrity - can't cope,
Seats of power to dethrone,
Why don't y'all extradite your own?
If ya catch a sleeper near ya,
Take that tommy...

It’s great to be a member of the global elite,
   The bean poles in my garden are standing proud and neat.

Temptation of Christ

For forty days and forty nights,
He fasted by religious rites;
No nourishment sustaining him beneath the burning sun.
And so it passed that he should meet,
Amidst the desert's scorching heat,
The mastermind of all deceit, the undeserving one.

The...

Never Needing More

I can hear your demons screaming
And I know you're hearing mine
Times changed you just a little
Now your beauty's more sublime
Sat here waiting for a reason
To be sitting here at all
Just about to leave
I smell your...

From a Boy To a Man

From a boy to a man

Just a wee lad, pants begining to wear,
His Mum used a basin to cut his hair.
His Mum worked hard, no Dad you see,
Burnt herself out feeding her family.
School to him...

GOD'S ASSIGNED ANGEL OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

God’s Assigned Angel of Unconditional Love Part 1

In the quiet halls of destiny’s design,
Two hearts awaited a sacred sign.
Not in crowded streets nor chance’s embrace,
But in digital words, we first saw grace.

EHarmony’s glow lit our...

Christmas Abecedarian

Amorous is the tingling touch they feel
Blooming kisses as flaming as red bells
Convey passion in their glowing eyes 
Directing fantasy-filled thoughts outside
Enamored by the heavy snowfall on the elms
Farther they vanish into the hushed hills...

Out There Someone I'Ll Love

Calmness enlighten soul. .
With sensation 
Situated within he's heart: compassion,  uniqueness of the perks only I will know. 

Who's going to care about
Acting those meanful words. 

Who's never going to offend .. 
Who's going...

The Bully Bird

He doesn't hum like the others,
just stays there at his post,
watching his feeder, waiting for the chance
to swoop again upon another
nectar-thirsty bird who dares 
to flutter a wing in the wrong direction.
In territorial defense
he's fast...

Entertaining the Family

Our Kitty’s allergic to peanuts,
Most don’t eat meat anymore,
Lynn and Tim are Vegans
Alex is a staunch carnivore.
Vegan, Veggies and carnies
All coming to visit for lunch
Sue was tearing her hair out
Planning feeding such a  bunch.

A life four score and five short years
Of tender hearts and happy tears
Memories of yesteryear he's crafted into song
Each album paved , a stepping stone
The craftsmanship shaped a happy home
The Wordsmiths scribed a worthy tome,...

The Resolution

The first of every January starts another unspoiled year
Just when I was feeling merry … righteous conscience interferes

Racked by guilt of season’s folly, flush with sated appetite
Lulled by scent of pine and holly, culpable and...

Sky Becomes a Stage For a Drizzle Drop

Tamed time in my imagine store ,sky is a stage for a Drizzle Drop
Atoms pirouetting on broad high heels
Molecules are singing in mute melody
Twinkling shiny kings tend to twirl and tune like Mozarts of moon.

Same Mistake Twice

You vowed it wasn't gonna happen again,
but it did
You said you wasn't gonna make
the same mistake twice
But you scraped your heart once more,
didn't you kid
Fell to the ground, toppled
by another pretty set of eyes
That woman...

Courage To Consign Poverty To History Dustbins

Courage to promote humility
Courage to admit your mistakes
Courage to embrace malleability
Courage for noble stakes 

To die
To tackle hurdles and obstacles that seem insuperable
To fly high
The flag of integrity for the vulnerable

Whose predicament makes you sick
Although...

The Moth

What is mist in my demeanour,
makes me fray when I am touched,
the thread is just a little leaner,
when the rug is pulled too much.

Adjust the light, 
reduce the glare,
the eyes will compensate the glow
with just...

Obsession With Depression and Suppression

with much depression
many may have obsession
about suppression

no longer in groove
so scenery should improve
when statues remove

spread we  should prevent
those hired by government
so message to them sent

a major mishapse
a Surfside condo collapse
in life has caused gaps
