Soldiers Should Be Promptly Paid

Off was triggered a rebellion 
And it was by a Battalion: 
Troopers stampeding like stallion -
More than lost was Hundred Million;
Someone checked it: A Half Billion!

Some day might notch up, A trillion.
The contents of art Bank’s Bullion,
Each soldier’s stirred mind cast-iron 
Of his own Devil – A scion…
I guessed what they’d stirred up-Trouble,
Whirlwind from sown

The New Beggar

Every Friday he visits our home, promptly                               He presses the calling bell and stands calmly.

Mad meets sad
Things turn bad


Lots of pain
Rain in vain


Words grind halt
Drown new malt


Times hurl gall
As tears fall


Strokes bleed pain
Loss swirls drain


Feel the gist
Loss floods list

Promptly Prompting

from dawn
from all day
long tis time
for to dust off

my boots
release my
socks and let
breath my feet

dusk is upon
all of us but 
for me i 
watch

to no
suprise
you are on
my horizon

with your
moon rise
you raise me
up from a child

to a man
beginning
over again
and so

i am the
stagehand
raising the riser
for you to step higher

then
with wires
pulling you into
my backdrop of a

star lit

Feel time stroke
Touch that pokes
Bear each yoke


Watch word wit
String bold fit
Set odd hits


Heed strange gaze
In odd maze
Mind owns craze


Sense ***** notes
As touch votes
In old quotes


Feel change trace
Lines on face
In old space


In the end
Round the end
Loss feeds grand

Start deep art:
Live with heart


Know true soul:
Just feel whole


Purge mind games:
Know true fame


Be at peace:
Love funds ease


Know full well:
True love tells


Faith sculpts hope:
Soul feels scope


Dream big here:
Bloom grand spheres


In due time:
Watch buzz rhyme


Chimes move more:
Frame deep core


Be good then:
Love ascends


Speak words kind:
Heart moves mind


Promptly be:
Joy you see

Rain
Greets pain
Not in vain


Wit
Now fits
Such odd bits


Touch
Greets such
In brief nudge


Stress
Moves less
In calm dress


Hope
Now scopes
As faith copes


Friend
Know grand
Fest that trends


Wet
You get
As rain sets

My dear, can you hear
How well silence speaks?
It's clear, have no fear,
Watch stern poise now peaks.


Note then, do you feel
How well silence dwells?
That's when, your hurts heal,
Touch where no voice tells.


My dear, do you know
How well silence grips?
Calm cheer, prompt feel shows,
Feel moves inner trip.

Steal sweet sights
Bear blooms bright


Sight swift streams
Dust day dreams


Make mind move
Glimpse grand grooves


Lift lines loud
Prick pride proud


Spread sound sight
Reap rich rides


Touch your treats
Set sweet streaks


Prize pure play
Note nude nay

Play pokes promptly
Craft claims clearly


See sensuous signs
Bid breathless bind


Smell soothing stench
Drape dazzling drench


Size succinct style
Ply profound pile


Moody mind moves
Glimpse gaudy grooves


Crude clumsy choice
Protest plots poise


Stretch salty sip
Promptly prize pip

Be kind
Not blind


Seek your say
Pay for play


Be nice
Spread spice


Live this day
Find your way


Be good
Frame mood


Joy flings cheer
Live love here


Faith styles
Sure smiles


Feel deep hope
Forge fine scope


Deep thought
Clear plot


Feel your heart
Breeze fine start


Craft choice
Praise poise


In swift trend
All things end


Then how?
Lost now


Prompt prime praise
Watch touch raise

Live well with cheer
And dare face fear;
Joy lives right here
With poise most clear.


Love all you meet
On life's harsh streets;
Let cheer now greet
With true peace sweet.


Be kind to all
Who come to call;
For big and small
Must bear life's gall.


Start with your heart
To live love's art;
Discern and start
As love imparts.


Start where you end
Around the bend;
Be a true friend
And
