Why don’t you tell the people the truth about the problems of their youth? Why don’t you tell the people the truth of how the system has changed, and their life will never be the same. You have created a system that have left many people confused and has the universe moving to different rhythm; the sun has come and gone and left me sitting forlorn on the wide space on the empty lawn with a long distance between us and a long stretch of road in front of us. I am getting ready for another journey to unravel he truth and expose the secret of the untouchable fruit in the garden of Eden. I have no appointment, contract or assignment; but I am getting ready for a long journey. I need a brand new pair of shoes and a book to read to perk up my zeal. Keep dreaming when your passion is burning, keep dreaming when your body is shaking, and keep dreaming when your spirit is railing. I have no money food or script, but I have all the energy to take on this trip, the wind is blowing in front of me and I let it take me, wherever I want to be. I will keep dreaming when the dreams have died, I will keep dreaming when my heart is beating and when the moon is gliding in the skies, I will dream and hold on to the gravity in the air and share the stories of the sorrows that we bear. The life is like a soldier armed for battle and the commander giving orders for the troops to march straight through the tunnel, with a giant flag hoisted in the sky and sings song of victorious soldiers returning from battle. I woke up with the tree of life pointed towards the East and destiny saturated in the breeze, no one knows where the sun rises and where it sets but courage will lead me on until I find the best. My heart is singing a happy song with lyrics originated from a distant land, it has words of hope and rhythm of peace and joy that will set your mind at ease, the journey is long but I have just discovered a shorter one. I will keep dreaming until you come so get ready to meet me here before the day is done, I have allot to share.
Never in secluded pools they dwell,
I speak of ornate waterfalls,
they rise and fall majestically,
near docks, wharves and piers,
sparkle, gleam, smooth flow trickle,
eye balm whirl fantastic perk on tap,
stickybeak on podium rapids,
instigator signage when our trek seems dull,
but reflection is a gem warp cataract,
kinetic rebound ocean wave backbeat,
which in fact an upfront blissful target,
hardly ever missing opal bulls-eye,
environmental bubbles that somehow never burst,
indulge outlandish fare Promethean,
spurt on vermillion lanyards pendant sweep,
dream paint sunrise clementine tincture,
daub acrylic spree through pale moon orb,
squeeze tube lambent hue past frail mandala,
eternal sepia a light touch pristine shroud,
that loiters over urban life force ripple,
flaunt your image rich abundant fire
I am pretty certain
What you will find
With a sneaky cheeky peek
Behind the velvet curtain
See..one of a kind
Stand Up hierachy
For very few shekels
Sarky then snarky malarkey
Sworn scorn of merry heckles
But shorn of those hackles
Torn free from those shackles
The dawn of hee-hee cackles
If they're a chronic
Stand Up Comic
No one applauds
Dreads hordes of frauds
Who tread ironic boards
A skit to be a hit
Must pit your wit
Acerbic gambit
Caustic flit
Twit or git
Design a fine punchline
Yep..the funny bit
Scores on the doors
Gaping jaws and guffaws
Means more encores
If they don't shirk
Perk of their work
Can air a quirk
Share & make them smirk
With flair or devil maycare
The crowd revel...go beserk
Seriously sardonic
Scheming bitter of gin
Deliriously laconic
Big beaming grin
Gleaming glitter of tonic
Tears now are streaming
Girth of the mirth
Cheers from their peers
Just the ticket for the critic
What's it worth?
Priceless..to see an iconic
Yet down to earth
Stand Up Comic
On their home turf
Always pick it..
If finding good times is your wish
And poetry your favorite dish,
Then visit us. The soup is on!
It’s piping hot and never gone.
And with so much to see and do,
This place is hopping! Rabbit stew
Has got to be our specialty
Because we move so rapidly.
I recommend a cup of Joe.
To keep up here, you can’t move slow,
for this is such a lively group,
you won’t be seeing turtle soup!
Chorus:
So come on! Step outside your shell.
Learn all the rules and learn them well.
Of poems, we must have every kind.
So come inside and feed your mind!
No turtle soup, but plenty of
All kinds of soup you’re sure to love -
Like vegetable hot in the pot;
Of healthy soup we have a lot!
If psychedelic is your thing,
Try special mushroom with a zing!
There’s spicy enchilada too
If Latin passion flows through you.
Some soup is salty; some is sweet,
And many soups are filled with meat.
There’s chicken noodle for the soul.
I guarantee that you’ll get full.
Chorus:
So come on! Step outside your shell.
Learn all the rules and learn them well.
Of poems, we must have every kind.
So come inside and feed your mind!
Learn how to post, and don’t be shy.
Most poets love when you reply,
Especially if you read their work.
New friendships are an added perk!
New poems appear on lists. Beware!
They vanish soon into thin air.
So many contests to get in.
You’ll feel your head begin to spin.
To learn the ropes, just ask around.
Quick! Like a bunny, leave the ground.
Hop to it! Ready, set, now GO.
Remember turtles are too slow……
Chorus:
So come on! Step outside your shell.
Learn all the rules and learn them well.
Of poems, we must have every kind.
So come inside and feed your mind!
'for Cindi Rockwell's "My Poetry Soup Recipe Contest"
People like to take the credit and assign all the blame
It really is a selfish way to go about playing the game
Everyone embellishes their input when the praise is poured
But when things stumble and others grumble their contributions they ignore
If we focused our attention on the task at hand
Having one single goal that everyone can understand
Efficiently and effectively contribute what we can
That would make, it seems to me, a much better plan
Knowing that the job’s done well deep down in your heart
Not letting egos and one-upmanship tear the team apart
Share the credit, knowing well, there’s plenty to go around
Is the quickest way to success is the lesson that I found
So if you are one of those folks that need credit for the work
Worried more about rewards and the newest company perk
I respectfully ask you please not to apply for this position
Because we’re a team and that means a united composition
Hurry the horse is the basis of this story.
The invitation came with just a week till it's glory.
Graces 1st birthday party, well we simply have to go.
So off went Great Grandma and Grandpa to the lumber store in the snow.
5/4" board, 3/4" board, some glue and some screws.
They were so excited to share in the news.
But Grandpa had to hurry, had to get right to work.
So Grandma said I'll go put on the coffee to perk.
Grandpa worked steady, hard and true, but in the end there was just so much to do.
Two days to go, they resigned to a note.
We're making you a rocking horse is what they had wrote.
Uncle Bob offered to help him get it done.
Grandpa said, I think we can, and it sure would be more fun.
To give it to her at her party when she celebrates turning one.
So the day before the big event.
They both got down to task.
And time it flew right off the clock.
But they both determined this horse would rock, on the day of the party to give
Grace a ride.
Time came to give Grace her present.
And all eyes flew open wide.
And you could just feel Grandma and Grandpa's hearts swelll up inside.
So thats the story of Hurry the horse.
Who came to be in a scamper and quite a force.
So happy birthday Grace, from Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Bob.
We three have never had a more enjoyable job.
THE END
Form:
To win the lottery, it would be a dream,
To buy the best things, I ever have seen.
The fancy cars, and exquisite meals,
No need to hunt, for the Christmas deals.
All the money that you ever would need,
The certainty of food, for mouths to feed.
To win the lottery, you have to agree,
The best thing to happen, to you or me.
The things you could do, with a lottery win,
The friends you can help, your partners and kin.
But never forget, your good old roots,
Whilst you’re wearing, them thousand pound boots.
And riding around, in that fancy car,
And drinking them drinks, at a private bar.
You are still you, no matter the change,
Even though your account, will look quite strange,
To have enough money, to help who you desire,
You now have the money, to be a home buyer.
Don’t throw your old self away in the bin,
Just because of your lottery win
Money isn’t everything, though it would be nice,
To eat some caviar, instead of beans and rice,
To drive that car, and not walk to work,
To go on holiday, that would be a perk.
A dream it is, for a lottery win,
I wouldn’t know, at where to begin.
But at the moment, I will just keep trying,
I’ll make a list, of the things I’m buying
Menopause uggg
Adam was given work for his sin
Eve was given the privilege to produce kin
Never once was menopause mentioned
Who created this invention?
They say get an ablation, it’s the best thing since apple pie
You’ll stop bleeding and you don’t have to try
What they don’t tell you is, it doesn’t always work
But heck, the no cramping is a perk!!
Whatever!! It threw me right into the change
My life seems a little nuts in exchange
My kids think I’m lazy but in actuality I’m a lot crazy
I don’t sleep, and I stay wide awake
My moods are all over so the niceness is all fake
I wake in a pool of sweat
Only to later freeze, throw me the net !!
Oh the hot flashes are real
It’s great for sex appeal
The man says you must be hot for me
I just roll over and say no, I gotta pee
Weight gain is going at turbo speed
Chocolate is the number one need.
I just want to be left alone and not bothered
Give me peace and I’ll be honored
Don’t wish for periods to end
You’ll never be right again my friend.
"IN THE COURT OF CATS"
By Austin Fwasan Maseko
In the grand court of cats, I stand accused
A lowly rat on trial, with justice confused
The judges' whiskers twitch, their ears perk high
As they scrutinize me, with a skeptical eye
The prosecutor purrs, with a sly little grin
"A menace to society, this rat within"
She lists my crimes, with a flick of her tail
Stealing crumbs and cheese, without fail
I tremble with fear, as the charges are read
Guilty by association, my fate's already sealed
The cat judges confer, their tails entwined
Their verdict is clear, their sentence defined
Banishment to the shadows, where I'll hide and creep
A life of scraps and fear, forever to keep
But I argue back, with a squeaky little voice
"Am I not a creature, with a right to rejoice?
I scurvy for food, like you hunt and play
Why is it wrong for me, to survive each day?
I clean up crumbs, and scraps that you leave
Keeping your home tidy, is that not a noble deed?"
The cat judges pause, their ears perked in surprise
A glimmer of doubt, in their feline eyes
They confer once more, their decision revised
A compromise reached, a new sentence devised
"Banishment is too harsh, for a humble rat like you"
They decree, with a nod, "you may scurvy through"
But stay out of our way, and keep your distance true
Or face the consequences, of our feline crew
I breathe a sigh of relief, as the verdict is read
A small victory, for a rat like me, indeed
I scurvy away, with a newfound sense of pride
For even a lowly rat, can make a dignified stride.
The cat judges rise, their robes flowing free
Their eyes gleam with wisdom, as they depart the tree
Their verdict may seem strange, to the feline crowd
But justice is served, in this curious, upside-down world we live in, proud.
The trouble with touch
Is wanting too much
Finger tips tingling
Trite hearts signaling
Your space in-between
Where feelings are seen
If taken one day
You lose your own way
The rush of desire
An embrace on fire
Sparks of connection
Human convection
As all isolate
Some suffer cruel fate
More virus distress
Of touchless duress
Sharing a fresh start
By staying apart
Resisting to touch
Now saves lives as such
Distancing does work
Recovery shall perk
Resources will align
When all forces combine
The best way to touch
Comes through in the clutch
All's said and done
Our world can be one
