Our desire to love and be loved,
defines us as humans.
Love fuels passion's flame,
seducing the heart
with the nectar of desire.
And we fall under its spell
with the innocence of a child,
enamored with the beauty of a dream.
Betrayal shakes the foundations of trust,
causing cracks and an inward migration
to the safety of our emotional walls.
And we admonish reality,
for the way we feel.
The absence of love
fosters feelings of loneliness and isolation.
And like the Tin Man in The Wizard Of Oz,
craving to hear the beat of his heart;
we grow frustrated with the sound of silence.
While the embers of yesterday's love
continue to burn out:
leaving only ashes,
where once there were flames.
Scarecrow
You'll find me
in paddy fields and gardens;
even on front porches.
I'm a decoy, as lonely as can be.
I look frozen in time,
mimicking Jesus
crucified on the cross,
but I swear I mean no disrespect,
you religious zealots!
Blame farmers and gardeners!
They make me look this way!
They live to humiliate me;
dressing me up like a ragamuffin,
stuffing straw inside my coveralls,
placing a dumb-looking hat
atop my head; you name it!
Yes, I know I look ridiculous.
I wish I'd put
my perennially outstretched arms down.
Don't be scared of me, kids,
I speak no evil
I don't speak at all,
and I do not harm anything
that breathes air
Yet you humans choose to avoid me
like the plague
but come Halloween,
you all love me for just a day!
Go figure.
Yeah, I see some of you
staring at me, chuckling;
whispering amongst yourselves
about me having no brain
in the "Wizard of Oz" movie.
In my defense,
It was a misrepresentation!
I don't speak, but I'm not that dumb!
I know how to do my thankless job
and do it well.
I scare off all the birds
that peck at newly cast
seeds of growing crops, don't I?
Not so brainless now, am I?

Two steps
forward, three steps
back. That's the way it seems
life goes sometimes, barely moving
forward at a snail's pace.
Perseverance
is key.
Life is
worth the living,
though hardships may beset.
Nothing worthwhile will be easy.
Sometimes you have to fight.
Perseverance
is key.
Follow
the Yellow Brick
Road worked for Dorothy
in the "Wizard of Oz", but she
still faced a few setbacks.
Perseverance
was key.
Keep on
seeking, keep on
moving, don't give up hope.
Even Noah had to wait for
flood waters to recede.
Perseverance
was key.
And once
you reach your goal,
Rejoice and Celebrate!
But don't stop your forward movement.
Don't become complacent.
Perseverance
is key.

For William Kekaula's Heptastich contest
A Mighty force
God’s Wrath
Devastation
Winds that blew
Rain that pours
Thunder that roars
Kansas Highway
A Greyhound Bus
Destination bound
Kansas City schedule
A Tornado ratio
A bus rising lift
Surrounded by swirls after swirls
A wonder the Greyhound bus wasn’t torn apart
Stayed intact
A thought from Wizard of Oz
Suddenly the Greyhound Bus was gently put down to the ground
Heaven’s Mercy and Grace
Greyhound bus continued on its journey
Back on the highway
The Driver and Passengers experienced their ordeal
It was for real
Witnesses forever
God’s hand of power
It was that minute and hour
Mercy prevailed
Sometimes actors play a role
Which touch us to our very soul
Even though it is not real
Something deep down makes us feel
That we can associate
With the part that they create
And the movies that we watch
Can ignite us like a torch
Because some things that we see
Brings up our past history
One that leaves me lots of scars
Is the world famous Wizard of Oz
The characters are memories
Of the way that he left me
The tin man has no beating heart
You took mine right from the start
Leaving me no way to care
Because my heart’s no longer there
The scarecrow has no way to ponder
All his thoughts just seem to wander
That’s the way I feel when
My thoughts of him start up again
Asking why my useless brain
Let him cause me so much pain
The lion isn't strong but weak
Because his courage he can’t seek
That’s the image I showed him
My courage can’t show up again
Every time I took him back
I had another “weak” attack
Dorothy was all alone
She just wanted to get home
To her loving family
There was no home left for me
The love just seemed to disappear
I couldn't find it anywhere
The wicked witch was just pure evil
Trying every day to steal
The love out of the purest hearts
The way he tore mine all apart
There’s one portrayal that I can
Connect to as I take your hand
The wizard saved Dorothy's friends
Bringing her home in the end
The way you went through every length
To give my heart back all it’s strength
My courage and knowledge I have sought
To regain ever since you brought
A loving home back in my life
Making everything alright
Remember these youthful days of long ago
going to the movies really so full of fun
one of the earliest memories comes to mind
being at the pictures days of little sun
The 'Wizard of Oz' was a great movie
full of suspense and drama music was fab
I loved Dorothy's innocence just like me
even now think of it was never drab
The tin man was so sad with no heart
a bit like me then wanted so to change
even the scarecrow at bottom of class
with no brain that was me still at start
Now that poor lion full of fear
I knew too well stammer held me down
so many pictures here could easy relate
but hope came my thoughts got clear
But for me the memory that highlights it all
Dorothy the star way up 'over the rainbow'
watching to it again haunts all my mind
bringing home feelings makes one glow!
My love left me a letter,
"Dear one, I hate to make you frown,
But there seems to be a part
That's missing from my heart.
I need to find it
Before I can settle down."
Then she sent me a postcard,
It read, "Caro, ciao from Rome."
She loved the music, food, and wine,
And the Vatican was fine,
And she didn't know
When she'd be coming home.
She caught a cold in London,
Thought she'd glimpsed the King at tea.
The Thames was far less than sublime,
But Big Ben keeps perfect time,
And the galleries
Reminded her of me.
She got a tan in Rio,
The beach there is divine.
Confessed she'd had a little fling,
And leaned a most peculiar thing,
That Brazilian kisses
Don't compare to mine.
Then in a card one morning,
"Dear one, I'm coming home.
The world's too big and much too wide
Without you by my side,
And I've realized
I didn't need to roam."
Now my love's done with traveling,
And she knows in her heart and mind
That the thing she went to find
Was the love she left behind
And wasn't missing,
It was right here all the time.
Author's note: To paraphrase Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz", sometimes if you go looking for your heart's desire, you don't have to look further than your own backyard.
(This is a fictional poem)
I'm a politician but I'm not one who the people can trust.
Like Bill Clinton I'm fat and full of lust.
For years i've been dipping into the till.
I take a thousand here, a thousand there, it's easy to steal.
I drive a Porsche and I own a yacht.
They'll throw my ___ in jail if I get caught.
I've been a crooked politician for years.
I make promises while I campaign but I'm never sincere.
My wife says if I don't buy her a Rolls-Royce, she'll turn me in.
I guess I'll have to dip into the till again.
I wonder if people will ever find out that I've broken plenty of laws.
If I was an actor, I could play three roles in the Wizard of Oz.
I have no courage, no heart and no brain.
If you vote for me, you must be insane.
If you vote for my opponent, it will be for the best.
I've heard that he's actually honest.
Form:
…or Hey! Who you callin' fat?
There is no subterfuge
In the hippopotamus,
She's just naturally huge
From top to bottomus*.
She loves the rivers more than lands,
On stubby little legs she stands
And grazes 'cause she has no hands.
For losing pounds she has no plans,
Such as Jenny Craig or rubber bands.
Obesity for her's no plight,
To be big and beautiful is her right,
So about her weight, she's not uptight,
Nor loses any sleep at night.
Some say she's rude and impolite,
But she just takes another bite
And says, "So whattamus!"
*My thanks to the Cowardly Lion from "The Wizard of Oz".
An army of mites reside in our lashes
With mouths and tiny claws
Along the road to human evolution
This was surely a major flaw
Astronauts strangely can't burp in space
What useless dribble is that
Felines can have over one hundred kittens
Now that's one pooped out cat
Some atheists put up Christmas trees
An identity crisis for sure
A cow can poop up to four tons a year
That's sure a big batch of manure
A woman once had sixty-nine children
Talk about barefoot and pregnant
With a dirty big bunch of kiddies like that
She could hold her own beauty pageant
Nose prints are used to identify dogs
Imagine if they used those for humans
Especially during the influenza season... yuk!
There'd be snot all over the policeman
The salary of Toto in “The Wizard Of Oz”
Was a hundred twenty dollars a week
That's a hundred and twenty dollars more than me
Since retiring, my new job is sleep
The tallest people in the world are the Dutch
Must duck underneath the windmills
While kissing, most tilt their head to the right
But there's some who rub noses still
