Plainly

Be beyond blame
Set succinct show
Nurture nice name
Gain gracious glow


Prize profound plain
Live lavish light
Glimpse growing gain
Sense simple sight


Happy heart hopes
Humour hoards hurt
Clever charm copes
Dust dreary dirt

To Plainly Paint Myself

Now that would be quite an artist's chore.
To stroke onto canvass those ever changing colours;
That blue of happiness turning swiftly into grey depression.
Clear whites of eyes blurring helplessly into bloody red.

This soldier's portrait is only as strong as his weakness,
Strength drawn from a jaw line which needs to smile.
So where is the reality that drew

Plainly Optimistic

As sun shines brightly on the east
Symbolizes a day with hope and bliss
Visited thy heart in peace
Contentment, exclaims, please!!!

Going steadily at work
Anticipating better or worse
As hours continues its course
Minding drops of sweats pour

Face to channels of options
Up to you, for exemptions
Interruptions or motivations
Halting awhile, for deep inhalation

Smile, in between busy days
Wink and wave to things

How Do I Do This Again Clearly Evenly and Plainly

Treasure this
I think I have found it
I have found you and sounded out the meaning
I have seen the gold
I have touched it too
I have not forsaken
not ever, no not you

You are so much more beautiful in life
I think it is time we met once more and...strive
I want
I want everything just not so much as maybe

smoking is too expensive
it’s outrageous!

but they go right on,
these hooked victims of smoking,

Plainly Speaking

Certain things are just not said,
When we're in certain comp'ny.
Words and phrases seldom heard,
Are often looked at funny.

No longer is good common sense,
The rule of thumb, the norm,
So often plainly spoken words,
Will take on different form;

'Cause most folks just don't listen,
To what is being said,
And oft the words go rattling 'round.
Inside an empty head;

Then they
