If
Wren
designs
six abodes-
his wife plumps just one....

Wealth is a wheel which
vice and virtue turning well.
Solo vice follows,
fain to the wealthy abodes.
Why the virtue left behind?...

The lunatic caressed the words of the lips
The saint crept the innocent’s soul

The first spurt his ink in the pulp
The second groped for the flesh’s call

The rhymester’s itch by pen, relief!
The copulator’s, prey’s grief!

The poet  died sane with words
The rapist in fire abodes!...

She first and last my thoughts of memory,
puzzling my sight of write in a poet's swift tale of recite

My melody another flow,
as her fidgets digits the rhyme scheme of every heartbeat of mine

She's not of a tale, 
yet her tangible is aloof my abodes

...and with her am ready to mingle!...

A  Merry Christmas cheer
to all you people this year
Out with the old
In with the new
Be thankful in all you do
Stuffed tummies about to burst
Wine to quench the thirst
Safety on the roads
While you visit many abodes
I send  blessings for everyone
For Christmas and all year long.

series 5/5/3/3/5 Limerick

On precept Palin
Concepts are wailing
     Concepts spoofs 
     Love is truth 
Corporate failing

Amidst the wailing
Her ship keeps sailing
     Precept’s truths
     She’s no goof
Beliefs are sailing

Her precept is right
May need to try it
     Now maybe
     Sweet Baby
She abodes in light!!

At least she confesses tunnel’s light!!...

A special November day
for children, laughter and play.
To others, a day full of loved ones.
A meal too big for all, plates ladened with love.
Amazing how we relate love to stuffing.
Father and son eye the sport,
belts unbuckled, bare bellies rubbed.
Saving the dishes for later,
joyful colors adorn humble abodes,
sprucing up dreary days.
Day one of the rejoicing era 
is soon to follow....

To all the drivers on the roads,
With empty cars or filled-up loads,
I wish you’d stayed in your abodes
And left the highways free.

For moving at a turtle’s pace,
With miles of traffic still to face,
Which, lately, seems the normal case,
Is simply not for me.

So heed my words and stay at home
Since, if you feel the need to roam,
You’ll join a sea of steel and chrome,
An awful place to be....

Blanket of white top tall pines
with a crown fit for royals,
Brobdingnagian boughs reach in praise
a day in all splendor

Welcome the event unfolding
now before a waiting world
in need of much warmth,
only time stands before it.

Secure and serene,
chimney smoke wafts
from abodes no longer 
fearful but hopeful.

Awake! Awake!
our hearts on fire,
can we fathom this splendor 
winter brings?...

eyes wide earth at my feet 
standing there I cough 
while tugging at a loose
string I approach the foyer 
dazzled by grit lock surprises 
cautiously I sneeze waving 
all rights to a fresh handkerchief 
silence abodes as the rough 
dragging sound of two large pumps 
stuffed in a crowded elevator 
one word expressed repeatedly 
morning morning morning
my thoughts were posh 
and rather timid as a voice 
announced hey Hank  
this will be my stop...
