Short Adopting Poems

Adopting the world 
for what it is
The illusion orphaned
—death to begin

a river that splits. 
shills shriek may be overheard. 
adopting my boat...

I think that I shall take a chance
Carefully looking among plants
Make a pet of thee
Eight foot two or three
Adopting my own ferdelance...

Destiny rises to claim the night
  and orphans out the day

Adopting the silence within our fright
  —renamed in what we say

Father 
Handy, helpful
Adopting, protecting, sheltering
Savior, superhero; Naturalness, divine
Cherishing, concerning, directing
Reliable, kind
Mother

My mother-in-law
Can I resist adopting
You are truly loved.

And sister-in-law
Materially you have all
Money levels high.

Everything they have
Deny them you are loser
Pray or you get ire!

Play with them well, Dear
Eventually you get praised
Dare as you end dead!

I
Love
All dogs
But partial                                        
To retired greyhounds
Often mistreated when racing
Many are never able to get saved or rescued
Please consider adopting one of the many retired racers, you won't regret it

Hearts of gold melting
Hearts of gold flowing 
The hearts of angels on this earth: 
The adopting parent, the committed missionary, the soldier in the war, the warrior of the forgotten children of the world, the teacher of life, the animal rescuer,....
How hot was it...
How hot is hot, the heroes in this world
How hot is too hot, for the caring hands that touch many

The newest addition to my family
My bro-in-law christened him Milo
Another named him Jimmy
He’s more like a Chuckie
to me—driving me loco
The greenest eyes
He’s pretty lucky
He loves pink salmon 
and playing catch
with crumpled paper I toss,
the unwanted poems I scratch
Biggie (aka) needs weight loss
I tumbled as I stepped over him,
A simple little thing
By eliminating gravy ‘til he gets slim
Pet adopting
It’s what the New Year will bring

I am not a loner as they claim,
But I have been bent
To fit the shape of pain.
I have been dressed up
To suit the occasion of depression.
I have been tamed,
To live like an introvert,or a loner.

I am really not a loner
But I am adopting the style
Of living like one.
Like I existed in the world all by myself.
This is the nourishment
That betrayal has brought me.
It is the life I have bought
With my commitment and kindness.
But I am really not a loner....
