is that a jackaroo or a jillaroo?
I am annoyed, preferring to be called ringer.
have spent the day with a green one.
decide to escape, take a walk by the sea.
broncoing has worn me out.
1080 irritates me.
I finally revitalize, feeling replenished.
thanks to the glorious sky.
laughter rushes summer cleanses
subverts subsistence
children ramble seaside scramble
scribble sand
hamlet beckons hangout persuades
hermits wade
worship freedom
wooing
emissaries
dripping
leisure
wedges in

Finish S[inach Then Did Replenish
when we would finish
then we had to replenish
all of the spinach

Topic: Birthday of Wilma Jane P. Navarro (April 15)
Form: Vertical Monocrostic
As I spend as little time as possible with hard-headed pompous adults
Avoiding antiquated arrogant beliefs, often set in stubborn stone,
Avoiding inane conversations and minds that have not grown,
Consuming sweet drinks, forgoing liquor for cold chocolate malts,
Dousing my hamburger with ketchup, forgoing mayo and salts,
Laughing with purity at stories from those not completely grown,
Who often replenish and restore my ready soul until I make it home,
Spending time with children gives me optimistic, satisfactory results,
If you can’t secure a child related or not, a loving animal will have to make do.
Dogs I have met are furry, cuddly, loyal and enthusiastically eager to please.
I am just trying to explain my own personal in-touch-with-my- feelings view.
Following this lead shouldn’t be unfair to anyone you’ll ever want to squeeze.
Cats are not so willing to please; you will actually become a minion to these.
A loving dog will choose to sleep on your bed, his whole body eagerly pushing you.
Replenish* my heart
with unquenchable coals.
Make it burn so hot
So I'm unable to control
The fire burning from deep in my soul.
When it seems to die
I ask You to try
And replenish* my heart
With unquenchable coals.
Note*: the word replenish has a double meaning. "To fill" and to "refill."
Replenish the Earth
Every atom, element, molecule, non-living and living were created by---GOD
All things, from intra-atomic “dry” parts to creatures, and man, God----- COMMANDS
These, He planned, created, ordered, organized, and blessed to benefit---MAN,
Even before His work was made fully formed, God said, ------------------“REPLENISH
Earth and man now know: limited resources, extinct creature, and…------THE
Needs: conserve resources, and protect wildlife; we, must replenish------ EARTH…”

Poetic form: End Line Word (Try one. It’s as much fun as word puzzle!)
Despair reigns upon the sunrise
Agony awakens the motionless body
Endlessly traveling in unwanted horrors
Symptomatic desires
Observed only within darkness
A mirage of the mind
I am ill with shame
Life has beaten me up
I bleed from the wounds of lost hope
I am unconscious
The mind will relax
For it is tired of emotions
I am weak
My body yearns for health
For it has seen much abuse
I am a replenishing soul
To conquer all in my path
For now I am stronger than before
