Trust, Trust, Trust
By Dr. Tina Medina
Whether it is Benghazi or Kansas City,
You will call and she won’t answer
The pattern and practice is established
You will call and she won’t answer
That is why I do not trust...

I finished my work early  this morning 
and went outdoors to exercise 
I jogged around the circle for a while
and  observed  a few things happening outside
A pickup truck parked on the edge...

The Tapestry of Leaves
Michael R. Burch

Leaves unfold
as life is sold
or bartered, for a moment in the sun.

The interchange
of lives is strange:
what reason—life—when death leaves all undone?

O, earthly son
when rest is won
and wrested from this ground,...

I like to eat stuff
I'm not very buff
I think i'm pretty tough
My doctor says my health is pretty rough
My girlfriends name is muff
I hate her
She always calls me fat
Even though her face looks like a...

Nostalgic Nights.
The smell of gas in the vintage moped I drove an hour to buy, 
Driving down that small-town street at night,
Lit by the dim bike light on that streetlight-less street.
Mixing gas with oil and...

When I was young I heard my dad,
Repeat a phrase that I thought mad,
We’d asked for sweets and with much scorn, 
He said ‘You kids don’t know you’re born’; 
Before I explore what that means,...

i whispered i love you, but i didnt expect you to whisper it back, 
when you said we wouldnt be able to talk much lately, something inside me snapped, 
then you found a way, and...

My appointment didn't show up today
So I decided to hang out and play
I circled around Ellanor's  Park
wandering about  in the dark
and thinking about the road ahead
The rain has just fell leaving mud 
and...

Sometimes I don't switch on TV, the radio stays dumb
and finishing a newspaper can leave me feeling numb.
What is it with this world of ours, where did it all go wrong?
How could the higher-ups elect...

Yesterday she was just like any other little girl
Passing notes, soccer camp, the borders of her world
Protectors there with easy smiles 
Mommy's scent, Daddy's hand
Unspoken courage for each new mile. 

Where does she find that...

Kids Stuff



Children will believe anything

In talking animals
And moons made of cheese
Fairy castles
With shinning knights
And magic doors
Secret gardens
Dwarfs and Trolls
Evil kings and Evil Queens
Snow White dreams
Arabian Princesses
Warlocks and Witches

Yes children will believe in anything

Mermaids and cities...

>We need a space filler Dragon, any ideas?

If I were a Pokemon 

If I were a Pokemon.
I would not be very happy.
With all you silly blighters.
Trying to entrap me.
If I were a real pokemon.
Trap me...

Progress
by Michael R. Burch

There is no sense of urgency
at the local Burger King.

Birds and squirrels squabble outside
for the last scraps of autumn:
remnants of buns,
goopy pulps of dill pickles,
mucousy lettuce,
sesame seeds.

Inside, the workers all move
with the...

My parents taught me early…it was built into our lifestyle
to never miss an opportunity to speak with kindness
bring joy to another person…or make a child smile.

A while ago I ran across a stuffed Charmander at...

Prevarication permits pretend perception, presenting
piquantly piqued, pimply pimping playboy, plucky
pulchritudinous previously pusillanimous, prevalently
puckish, psychic packman, pokemon playing proletarian

puppeteer pygmy, peevishly punky, plummy, plumy,
pompously pushy, pampered, prefabricated pinchbeck,
pokily plying plowshear, plodding peregrination, pied

Hello Pad these will be the first rhymes I write without thinking so I'm really about to speak to you
My favourite pokemon is Pikachu
Thought I needed Jessica Alba to complete my view
But she got mad...

1996 when any music styles created became instant hits
To much R&B, rock, rap and any other genre that fits
I remember waking up early, to see my mom say hay hun
Well, she thought that but truth...

For those we lost
Nuzlocking Pokémon Red
This is a poem 
To memorialize our dead

Rainbow

Caught with a single pokéball
Would grow to become
One of the best pokémon of all

Evolved before our eyes
A valued...

From our earliest times to the most recent of our days,

We've grown with pokemon, and we've learned their ways,

We've learned the evolutions, the special attacks,

We've learned what pokemon hide in tall grass,

We've learned the weaknesses...

my three sons are so precious to me
I know all kids are but there's something special about these three
Each one is different from the older to the younger
but they all make me proud that they...

PROGRESS
CHRISTMAS TOYS AND JOYS

The toys in the shops today are different from the past,
with electronics replacing bat and ball.
Even parents get in the mix, and children need be fast,
if they want to play with their...

Old facade
Museum facelift;
Joy sparkles

~~~~~~~~~


Uneasy buzz
Empty talk ooze;
Juicy bits

~~~~~~~~~


Pokemon fling
Sure strokes sling;
Crazy madness

~~~~~~~~~


Newspaper headlines
Too much noise;
Trade deficit

~~~~~~~~~


Violent protests
Crowds angry now;
Defiance congregates

~~~~~~~~~


Bad news sells
Print run profit;
Violence breeds rape

~~~~~~~~~


White wake
Gloomy death black;
Grief suffocates

~~~~~~~~~


Single rose stalk
Sad parting gift;
Funeral pyre

~~~~~~~~~


End...

Oh no,
Ken messed up the audio,
This will instill rage into an introverted bro,
I'm serving purpose by not flipping furniture for show,
This show is worthless,
I'm perturbed,
Let's just play Pokemon Go!
I think mic's are magic cuz of...
