Premium Member Not At All What a Haiku Ought To Be
Passing up stinging sun and flies. The trouble is, nature’s outside. Flowers I find in frames. I recline in conditioned air. Not at all what haiku ought to be, where the outdoors is dreamy; buzzing with hummingbirds, flies and sun burning. Not in trouble with nature, outside of it all. Air conditioning, ice cubes, tall glass and coca-cola. It’s all part of the plan, and a newspaper - just in...

Truth ought to be taught
Truth ought to be taught The triumphs of good to evil Heroes and bad guys But we are all now so polarized Gone are the days of the black and white truth But instead it’s that of the Red and Blue For truly, it’s the triumphs of evil to good And bad guys and more bad guys Covered by the sands of time Emerging is...

The Ought of Autumn
It ought to light up my being With the color and passion Of its crisp, browning magic It ought to bring the sounds Of fire crackle, warm abrasions And unlimited clinks to hearths Of every size and flavor It ought to turn down the heat Turn up the chill And turn on the love It ought to renew our sense Of joy, togetherness and those We wish...

Ought To Be Man
Didn't see him weeping after ten, he wants to become a man among men. As the moon wakes at night, he remembers his childish sight. Waiting impatiently for the hairs to grow on jaw, the Adams apple sounds a little bit raw. As the sun sets under the burden of responsibility, the society demands mascularity....

Premium Member There Ought To Be a Form Called a Krutsinger
I heard the towel call my name; its tone was rather dry. “She saw you dripping on the floor, your wife would surely die.” I wondered what made it so rude: a cheeky little guy But then I saw no monogram; I knew the answer why. I thought the comment rather lame, what, coming from a fleece. I took it down to Wilson’s pond and gave...

What I Ought Is Fought and Fought
Am doing what I should and ought; Temptation off fought and fought; Which is what I must always do; Trouble was through and through. In changing times remember me, While God does set my soul free; Though have been dying inside, May have many things to hide. My precious memories still persist; Will add many more to my long list; Was comprised of anguish and...

"Daughter," "laughter," do not rhyme but ought to. Pure squeals of joy ring out from every door. For surely graced by God is the man who Has daughters in the house forevermore!
