Rhyme but no Reason for Treason Silly Season
Damn it the planet’s on fire
Concerning..right down to the wire
Burning on its funeral pyre spire
I’m for turning.. where’s the messiah?
A heavenly choir…so we can aspire
That learning will finally inspire
An endless yearning desire
Of spurning this friendless quagmire
Discerning things are rather dire
Churning of the palaver and ire
Mother nature does surely tire
Should be the crier & trier
Of another

Everyone sang of your beauty, in words and poems, through rooms full of murmurs
Everyone sang of your beauty, in words and poems, through rooms full of murmurs,
but you only heard my silence, where words needed no sound.
Everyone longed to see you, like darkness chasing the moon across the sky,
but you gave me the first light, a vision like a forgotten dream reborn.
Since you began to smile gently, with

Sang by Linda
Her voice, a river, smooth and clear,
A melody that faded every fear.
In music, we found a bond so deep,
That bloomed in time, as love did seep.
In shadows we danced, where nobody could see.
A step behind, yet you noticed me.
The years between us, a quiet doubt,
Would they understand, what love’s about?
The silent moments, where hearts ignite,
The

pre-crastinate
There’s an old joke, “Procrastinate now, because
the sooner you fall behind, the longer you’ll have to catch up.”
Ha ha.
While a lot of students around here, even the good ones,
are procrastinators, I’m a diagnosed pre-crastinator.
I obsess over syllabuses and start things immediately.
I've got rough drafts of things due three months from now.
I’m a planner.

Playing For Dimes
Came across this old vet
From yesterdays gone.
His voice full of tears.
He sang for his flag,
And played for the boys
He once knew.

THE SONG SANG BY MY HEART FOR YOU
Your intelligence is of higher value than trillions of dollars,
Your wisdom can give wiseness to even the worst of dullards,
Your greatness will surely walk into many generations like a good ballard,
Anyone bad-mouthing your success is nothing but a shameless bastard.
The goodness you give is enough to put many hearts in perpetual cheers,
Your good deeds light

The bird that sang it
Oh, winged creatures of the sky so high,
In your realm, you soar, you fly.
With grace and beauty, you paint the air,
In every flutter, a tale to share.
From the robin's song at break of dawn,
To the eagle's cry above the lawn.
Each feathered friend, a symbol of grace,
In every flight, a sacred space.
Confident in your majestic flight,
Through

When you sang, dreams croaked, then you ceased to be a volcano
When you sang, dreams croaked, then you ceased to be a volcano,
It was simpler to become a rock, not letting yourself be unraveled by the waves of myopia.
After seasons died in your arms, resigned to your cold might,
You questioned if perhaps all flowers tear their petals in vain for you.
You were left emptied of greenness,

With God Sang a Psalm
with God will sing psalm
He can be found at the helm
we would remain calm
while weather was warm
we did remain in our dorm
would have a big storm
being a recluse
we would refuse to abuse
then had reached a truce
God is connection
with no sin or infection
went in right direction

Grover Grues Who Sang the Blues
he was grumpy, gritty, and grotesque, Grover Grues.
but his balance was beautiful, and he sang the blues
no one in the swamp could fill in Grover’s shoes.
his blues were spectacular, this was no news.
the other frogs would congregate here at night.
second it looked like it might become twilight.
they loved Grover’s guitar, and his voice, so mellow
