Oddly Enough

"Go along to get along" a wise man he once said
(altho' I don't concur)
but it occurred to me
neither follower nor leader be if you want to get ahead
and if the herd you stroll behind please do consider the view
(but not too closely)
yet what is worse yes you may curse
that which you step into
some believe the

Premium MemberSomething Oddly Familiar About This Nonsense

“Abe, easy Dee, effigy, eight chives, Jake, ale, Em, 
any hope, peak you, arrest a ewe, feed other ewe”

Oddly cold

Surrounded by people, ones I love 
Fake smile hides the oddly cold feeling hidden beneath this shell. 
You have a beautiful face, I like to look at it. What I don't hear, 
Your have a beautiful soul, your love is like no other. 
Accountability is hard for people to accept, I struggle with it too,

Uniquely Oddly

UNIQUE

Why I

Well technically I am and always have
and will be considered

Odd

So I suppose in essence

Maybe in reality in fact I actually am

As Odd is Unique

Isn't it 

So Yes

Thanking you Sincerely

Kind Regards

Maybe now it's time for me

To own my own individual

Oddly Uniqueness

Day-glo dewy
chuck berry faded daffodils

woodlark fluid warble
emerald chorus

& abash earth
drowsy petrichor 
on 
parched earth

fall mist lyrics

glyphs thrum 

in sepia tones 
of 
whimpers

of

haunting echoes
shattered bell's 
agonizing chimes

In shadowy 
kaleidoscope

dystopian swoon
climax is symphonic
&
thunderous melancholy
of 
tearful farewell

daily spirit sweep 
clean mental dust

embrace gratitude

Oddly Made In Heaven

He was most handsome, blond?
and glamorous,?
everyone said so.?
?
While in repose?
her face was dull and unremarkable,?
yet when her features were animated?
they shone transcendent,?
the light of her?
made all drift to her aura.?
?
When he with his film-star looks?
did grin or simper,?
perceptive folks saw only?
the rainbow colors of a baboons backside.
?
Oddly enough they wed each other?
only to produce offspring,?

Premium MemberAn Oddly Warm December

Twenty twenty one was odd from beginning to end
December was oddly warm with hardly a chilly wind
The rose bushes kept a blooming and folks still mowed
We did need rain but hardly a drop ever showed
January roar like a winter beast with icy winds a blast
New Years Day was rainy with temperatures dropping fast
With wind chills

Oddly, Life

How swiftly moves the time
when life is so sublime!
But soon the hours grow cold
Our movements become old.

Much better is our worth
when slender is the girth.
We skip hop jump with joy,
such exercise employs.

But time we know rolls on
with the ringing of the gong,
where new insight is the prize
life sets before our eyes.

How overwhelming is the

Oddly Ozzy

the constant
music in my mind
melodic loops
and melodies

transposed lines
juxtapose the left
brain video that
could be a photo

of you
for you
to me

your face filling
the screen but only
your eyes blink
as your silver smile

stays the same
all the while
my soundtrack
plays back around

again and again
the electric guitar
synapse riff of
Crazy Train

Premium MemberOddly

Time oozes
Depletes fast
Odd snoozes
Fade at last


Oddly enough
Age soon churns
Loss frames stuff
To ash turns


Is it strange?
Loss keeps score
Ooze meets change
At the door


Time and space
Fade each day
Age frames face
In end play


Start with cheer
To live spell
Age my dear
Must soon tell

Oddly Neurotic

I told my hubby I would never get a puppy ever again, 
but hey, aren’t they supposed to be a woman’s best friend?
So I scooped up Brady in my arms one warm June day,
brought him home with my daughter Ella to laugh and play. 

He was a shy pup, until the day he seemed to

Oddly Thankful

I miss you in ways 
      I often can’t say
Because I don’t have the right
      To miss you that way
I have to be happy 
     With time that I get
It’s a deal I’ve accepted 
      Not

Premium MemberOddly Poignant

Unspoken words speak,
Unsaid yet find voice;
Unfurl that high peak,
Undo that odd poise.


Heed unknown thoughts hurl,
Here dense meaning swirls;
Heap as touch unfurls,
Hear taut feelings curl.


Glimpse how time moves flow,
Gain that telling know;
Give thought to strange glow,
Grip for the trip shows.

Oddly Optimistic

Hope and a prayer, a dollar to spare.
A dream to one day breath in millionaire.
By my calculations, it's always the same.
You just cannot win if your not in the game.

A new house, a car, perhaps travel far.
Try not to spend all my time at the bar.
Buy a new mattress to continue sweet dreams.
Holding tight to
