A load of unfixed weight,
We ourselves sum up or rate,
Sometimes pegging it to a kilogram,
Under lesser stress to a gram;
Either a chosen or entrusted role:
Office with files taller than a pole …
Going ahead to father another baby
Which one must not skip in budgets not the lady
Plus Grand Pa long roaming The Earth,
Not wanting to end a Methuselah Birth!
More burden fixing back enemies’ sandals
Than fending off neighborhood vandals,
A gown releasing to a hated sister
Than a dozen to an outsider, a mister;
A lingered chat having with the proud
Than one’s way elbowing though a crowd!

Sky and more
Placeholder - PositionHolder - Pegging place for stars
As is each wave on the Ocean, fully ocean yet separate in sight
Canvas of all there ever was, is, and will be: my eternal home
Everyone's CANVAS if we fully grasp, embrace SPACE: figures and background

I was born in the hearth of the snowbelt
knee deep winters-pond hockey
a long driveway with a small coal shovel
pegging cars with snowballs
long slogs to school
slow brained learner
like an icy march river
-praying so hard for snow days.

enough…
today nature changed
we did not—
we continue to inflict pain
when will it all stop
rogue killing by the deranged—
how long will this remain
today nature changed
we did not—
how long will this remain
rogue killing by the deranged
continue to inflict pain
when will it all stop
today nature changed
we did not—
continue to inflict pain
hammering all necessary stops
pegging murdering rogue cops

On her green washing day
Una wore green too,
and pegged the washing out along the line.
They were green pegs of course,
with red monkeys on the top
to please the children.
It was nice to see her pegging
in the careless wind
and watching monkeys dancing...
These danced in unison -
twenty monkeys at a time with Una,
in amongst the washing.

Sings a song of sixpence
A pocket full of rye
4 and 20 blackbirds were baked in a pie
The king was in the counting house counting out his money
The queen was in the pantry eating bread and honey
The maid was in the garden pegging out the clothes
Along came a blackbird and pecked off her nose
Is this how the modern version would be
Sing a song for sixpence no chance of that
A bread roll full of Turkey not a tart
The king was looking for his wallet
The queen had taken it to town
The maid wanted paying for her services
Threatened with a face job if she didn't calm down
