Premium Member Will Bring About a World of Change

His gift of eloquent banter and jest
got him blessed with a seat wearing a crest
of many colours on his pompous vest,
swelling his breast; our terror of unrest.

He's the rage of everyone's attention
pictorial song and dance admission.
Funny some statements never seem mention
imperfection bringing less attention.

His gift of eloquent banter splitting
the grand stage trying to build a fitting
world of elaborate change unwitting,
out with the old, in with the new knitting.

Storms approaching with rage wanting to wage, 
his statement "I will build a greater stage,
nobody builds them better than a mage.
Mark my words, it will or will disengage.

His gift of eloquent banter and love
have fallen out of trust worth thinking of;
country watch intently from up above,
in balconies chances for former Gov.

So, you heard it all before falling in
and out of trust; will he forfeit or win.

              Eighty years ‘the rule of order’ held sway
              World leaders acted a pre-scripted way          
	         “Novus ordo seclorum” *
                  Cried the G-7 forum **
               Donald Trump’s taught us a new way to play!

                **The recently completed 'G-7 Forum' was 
                   a summit meeting of seven leading Western

                   Germany, Italy, etc.

Premium Member Happy New Year

Out with the old, in with the new way of doing the same old thing.
Instead of snow, I clear the leaves. I don’t cleave to a resolution.
I don’t revolve around indecision. My natural giddyup takes off, as
the silence of empty-for-years-nest necessitated a sort and toss.

Happy New Year, a choice, when nothing precludes its success,
such as mourning in formal dress. Sneakers suffered from heel to toe,
as the alternative alteration of age - not hip, not on toes, unbendable.
Sixty-four years new, on the eve of ceremonial senior citizenry,

golden leaf revelry. Hold onto what is momentous: kith and kin,
giving in the form of an empathetic and devoted ear to your loved ones, acquaintances, strangers. Wishing you a Happy New Year. This one
begin with wraps and bows, even if the ball drops. Make it your best.

True Love

you came into my life like a hurricane 
sweeping me off my feet like a broom to sawdust 
like magic fingers tickling the ivy's of my heart  
making every beat— so— so— sweet...  
                  
our love intertwined—grew like a rapid growing vine 
pushing old memories away with redeeming renewal
causing us to exhale refreshingly--out with the old—in with the new...
            
my— the Maker really out-did Himself in saving the best for last 
lessons of the past— learned — and sunk— as deep as the depths of Atlantis... 

never to interfere with our ascended love that keeps growing over time 
while apart-- and unaware -- that one day—those  dominos in place would one day be blown into unstoppable action...
                         
there is no denying the forever bond we share 
so strong—many live a life-time and can never factually say...
	
	I found my true love...
