cloud burst bursting drops;
drizzles sprinkle fine mist drops;
out pour down falls teem;
~
precipitation,
weathered Vrochi to rain pelt;
quick waters flow down;

Can You Guess My Name?
I was given to you with a manual, a guide so precise.
I came with a expiration date, my time to suffice.
The world welcomed me joyfully and gave me a name.
Now I am dying, no longer the same.
Unlike any entity on earth I know the time,
The second of my death, it's eerie chime.
I know the successor who will take my place,
The one humans await with an eager face.
In my span I've known your secrets, your every plan.
If use of the manual has you feeling joy and pride,
If in your mind God is smiling at you, you'll thank me,
You'll remember me and move forward, eyes opened wide.
If not, you will celebrate my end with cheer,
Welcoming my successor fresh and clear.
Brand new, untainted, with hope anew,
For better days ahead, a brighter view.
I Am The Year 2024
Your Manual: The Bible

The Gift from God
On January 1st a baby was born.
The world celebrated’.
This baby, this gift from God, we named 2024.
Three hundred sixty-five days more,
To better ourselves, His image to adore.
Now 2024 is gently sighing.
From December 25th to the 31st, it is dying.
Look back upon the gift of days,
Did you with thoughts or deeds,
God’s heart amaze?
Were you grateful, loving and kind,
Did you make God smile in your mind?
Are you worthy of the gift soon to arrive,
The newborn baby we will call 2025?

Death
Passing
Loss of life
Physical realm
Finished endings time
Departure from this life
On lookers say their farewells
Passing onto the after mass
Quietus dispatch cessation primed
Euthanasia terminate soul lives on

winter's wind kissed toward me;
blowing breeze;
whiten skies silver and bright;
visually mist blur-vision blown a wind-kiss

days dormant brighter
twilight sun paths warms thee earth
winter’s call cool-cold
~
green to brown winter
rains turning to snow showers
winter wet season
~
sun doesn't shine as
with lots of rain, ice or snow
why? cause- It’s winter
~
pleasant, autumn falls
warmly on the earth during-
winter seasons here

Ode a Sky Light Viewed-
Orb site is blurred
Vision staring forth stares light
Flares of brilliant rays
Yellow hazel greens rites
Orange Blue back drop whiten
Spots of greys sharply
Hazed ever-grazed brilliants
Orb site stilled blurred
The light shines so ever bright
Vision staring forth sun's light

let’s go Legos blocks
building yellow, green, red beck
love birds parakeets
~
built lovingly by
children of little tiny
hands snapping gathered
~
blocks of colored formed
plastic little molded bricks
fashioning contrived
~
erected birds made skill
fashioned from stacking snap blocks
multicolored bricks
2nd Place placement in contest

three legged table
do not partake of liquor
nor strong pungent drinks
like in a western
bar fight busting tables chairs
fly soars broken to
onto floor broken
cowboys yippee-kila-yay
under bust fighting
like in a western
broken up three leg table
one legged BROKEN
