It's Valentine’s
think hearts and
roses she said --
roses she prefers
so like herself
her own gracefulness
enticing petal scent --
the blossoms she adores --
think of rapturous nights
and Roman Candle dawns
such passion as hers never
seemed to need break --
entrancing patterns of fine drape
silk dappled with sunlight
beams of arousing romantic kneading
a second heedless amorous skin duplicating
transposing quixotic embroideries
of desire and forever --
like Salome she revealed all of her
beguiling fond nakedness
making instant jello of
my rational mind -- I will never
forget...vowed we would never forget!
Damn, where was that?
and who the hell was
I with?
Oh to be young and divinely foolish again!
My opponent will destroy democracy
But my opponent will normalize hypocrisy
My opponent pays hush money to whores
Well, my opponent snoozes in meetings and snores
My opponent’s in cahoots with radical progressives
But my opponent’s tax cuts are regressive
My opponent is in bed with Putin
Well, my opponent for Iran is rootin’
My opponent’s spending will stoke inflation
But my opponent’s plans will increase starvation
Enough! Stop! Cut! Halt!
It’s not all the other guy’s fault
All this negativity makes one thing clear
I’m voting for the first candidate I can cheer
preview not a pinnacle
expectation unfolds a dampener
when there's always another
peak to climb on
the humpty dumpty horizon
POTUS Joe Biden
met Vladimir Kremlin
said, 'Show me your wares if you dare'
Whereupon Vladimir Kremlin
unleashed a gremlin
grinning atop nuclear hardware
Not to be outdone
Joe had a plan
whipped out a fierce water gun
Said, 'Come here, Vlady Kremlin
along with your gremlin
Take this! (Spritzing them) ~ The War 'gainst Pollution WE'VE won'
He has cancer and it is not good
But at night things are better
Because they give him strong meds
And the angel comes
She puts him on her lap
And takes him to the stars
Explaining to him what angelhood is like
She is gentle and loving
During the day he is in pain
He gets shots, and he does not understand
But he lives for the night visits
With his angel who will greet him also in heaven
May
arrives
with blossoms
and honeybees
sweet scents of roses
softer summer's
delightful
scenes in
May

My dear Donald Trump
At your tender age
you shouldn't be bumped
into early retirement, and so
I want you in my new Cabinet, although
to your unique talents the position must fit...
Therefore, after mulling things over a bit
There's an idea that makes perfect sense
A new, complementary position to old 'Defense'
~I hereby appoint you my 'Secretary of Offense'
A WHISPERED PREVIEW OF HEAVEN SIGHT--
As I come humbly before you;
I take off my shoes and coat;
And as I kneel down beside you;
Praises caught up inside my throat;
Sweet whispers you speak inside my ears;
My minds a float;
As I'm in awe with every and all things that you do;
As I welcome your soft voice and your presents I'm into;
My own little world and is this a glimpse of what's heaven like;
Praise be to you my Father God
For given me a preview, sight...
A whispered preview of heaven sight.......

Inspired by the Bible Scripture of Habakkuk 2:3
Sneak Preview
So thankful for the gifts from God
They are all my hopes and dreams
Those joyful Sneak Previews
Of what He will someday bring
When I dream big
And keep my hopes high
It is like I did something good
By at least giving it all a try
The journey may be long
And the load is sometimes heavy
Just remember it says in the Bible
The vision will come, it will not tarry
Even though it is at an appointed time
It is surely still coming in brand new
Certainly better than ever before
It is great to see a Sneak Preview
Those sneak previews
Make waiting not seem slow
By enjoying the given thoughts
They come true before you know

Passion knows fit,
Ride through the storms;
Expand fine wit,
Voice a new norm;
Invoice your words,
Expect fond pay;
Waves can be heard.
Trust in soul play;
Reach for a pitch,
Insist on this;
Use alters reach,
Meet a sure ease;
Prime a clear say,
Heed path of play.

Hold your saliva.
The kissing syndrome,
is on prowl.
A threat looms large;
over the face on the face
of most beautiful eyes.
Are you fascinated by the-
picture of shedding the skin ?
The reptile was most venomsus.
Strikes, when you are
sleeping. Floats into your house
when it is dark.
A remake of the horror
of holocaust ? Will it
affect your lips ?

A tiny taste of the life I’ll lead
In your bed, our kingdom.
A preview of all that I want and I need,
Love, in total freedom.
Not a single flake of snow has fallen,
Yet the ground is covered with white.
Jack Frost is delivering sparkling rime
On this November moonlit night.
Wind has been welcomed to join in the game.
He is waiting to bite your nose,
And Jack Frost, the rascal,. is capable
Of nipping away at your toes.
You attend their gala at your own risk,
Before Winter comes at full speed.
The party hosted by Jack is a blast,
A welcome to Winter indeed.

I AM NOT A BLASTED VIRUS
I AM HUMAN, POET, ARTIST
And you’re a confounded nuisance…
Picture this—
A world where a simple click
Will send the comment more swiftly
Will log you in faster
No more silly letters in a grid
If only…
Well—I suppose its fine
I’m a complainer, a nuisance, a swine
But hey, fine, I’ll say it:
Thanks, Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans
Apart
It is things like you that will prevent a robotic takeover
