Retention Pond

If displaced, found nowhere, but in water
     of the retention pond,
no longer in V-formation, nowhere
     in the bluest sky,

Retention of a Nightmare

With death gripping talons he controls foot and hand, 
Unable to cry out due to fear as he had planned,
Fear of vanishing under this bed,
So young to feel such dread,
This haunting nightmare shall always remain,

Ammunition For Intuition and Retention

for intuition
God gave us ammunition
knowledge retention

for much pollution
God gave us a solution

Recollection Retention

Thoughts track back, as a fox on the run
Though the memory is seared, a toasted bun. 
Memory remember me, because I have forgotten. 
Recollection fail us not, because my retention is rotten. 
Data exists in the web that the universe is built on. 
And once uploaded, it is forever ingrained, will never be gone.

**** Retention

I think it’s time I stopped paying attention
To those who suffer from **** retention,
Who are stuck in a rut of raw vengeance
Penning verses out of jealous vehemence,

They tout protecting their individual liberty

Maximum Retention

In school, Maxwell never paid attention
Got punished with maximum detention --
  They seized his smartphone
  Maxwell moaned and groaned --
But, Wow! ~ Did it improve his retention!

was like the unheard echo,

Pee-Pee Retention

When I was younger and I thought of old age

Thought we all became senile at this elderly stage

It appears I was wrong, I can still go potty

And able to dress this tired old body

Try as I might, I don't see very well

And my wobbly old legs are as shaky as hell

Sometimes my words come out
