Long Payable Poems

It was just after Thanksgiving.
The Holidays were upon us.
Time for me to go out on my annual mission.
Sometimes it's rewarding, sometimes it's tough.
I went into a pub I had never been to before.
Here's where many...

For many days, I am yearning with my pastime longing to bargain for a mountain
Even though I am not knowledgeable about that marchant, for a dealer of that, then.
I long , I wish I could...

An animalistic painting in a cave can be considered as magnificent as a fortified wine kneeling in a chapel. Chapels cheer chariots. Charging. And the baked shrapnel recedes from many a bridge. Sing then you...

This is a three part puzzle, with a bonus question- each starting at 10 points, and, 
as before, each less one point starting on the second day (starting on Weds.

I will attempt to explain this using the following analogy.
I went For Help to BluePearl Veterinary,
with a feline medical emergency.
BluePearl saw me coming and thought, "That is a hornet nest,
and I'm going to put my...

Fireflies’ Prelude
By Stacy Savage (Indiana)

The sun surrenders
To the sky
As the moon awaits
With his winking eye

To begin his routine
In the rosy wake
So the sun may take
Her needed break.

Fireflies come
And bid adieu
In their evening performance,
Right on cue,

Above...

"Am I Crazy?" If you can ask yourself that you're not, right?
Crazy things have been happening to me lately day and night.
Inanimate objects, non living things,
have been having with me "conversations."
Take my Buddha tea lite...

Time
Nothingness in it belies
A continuum, uncanny
In all lives it defines
Love, hate, rage and litany

A motion on its own
Sweeping, inescapable
A yardstick mankind bemoans
Perpetual journey, irreversible

It’s life’s anathema
Yet it counts life
It’s a thing of enigma
That heaven had...

You slept in, I walked to the beach
“I love you” an old American hippy yelled
”And the mosquitos do too!”

My big red welts
A souvenir of our night in Guanica
A stay forced by the Puerto Rican cop
Who...

Payable upon death

Chariots of fire
Adrift as my time expires
No pits of burning flames
No glory to be had
No one to remember my name
A life over filled 
My cup spills with regret and pain
I strain to maintain
The...

The Worth of Rice

Food is a daily need. 
Some eat well, are fed well, 
are taken care of, 
while others have little, 
or none. 

It is what we do with what we have, 
that is...

Here's a fabulous product, good and true
It's meant for someone special, no one but you

It's very sturdy, can stand the test of time
Take it from me 'guarantee of a lifetime'
Aid as a helping hand or...

LIVE Your LIFE today as though it is your last.
Tomorrow's just a maybe, what is past is past.
Words you've meant to say,
Speak them now, don't delay,
For words unspoken as of yet,
Another chance you may not...

Distant Vistas

Painted mountains, 
and art show peaks;
God’s hand in every stroke…
The canvas alive, 
and moving. 

The sweetness of perfection, 
the honesty of reality;
“All” in reverence of… in awe of!

The Creator’s… 
skill and power,
His majesty and...

  Animated by the Heartland kingdom
Since the juvenile age, it's disturbed

WHAT ONCE
WAS A RIGHT
APPEARS TO BE GONE.
IN THE NAME OF PROGRESS
THEY MOVED ALONG.
SHEEPLE WERE CONVINCED,
BY A GROUP OF FOOLS,
WHO CLAIM
TO UNDERSTAND THE RULES.
THE FOOLS ONLY SAW
THE DOLLAR SIGNS.
BEING PAID TO ALTER
AND CHANGE YOUNG MINDS.
THE SHEPPLE...

When the world tells you what to do
Like you have a payable that is due
And there's nothing you can try to settle
The way people are, we can't meddle..

Let me be your freedom in this prisoned...

The call to order; the chorus now sings
Lord of the Flies dressed in his dapper best  
Dance to the pull of invisible strings  
Hands of the puppeteer moving the rest
 
See the perverse...
