Short Allowance Poems

We make no allowance for heroes to fail;
We have no room on earth for stars for fall,
Though even some holy angels from glory fell,
And all we gods like mere men can fall....

The dirt, a healthy stimulation of growth.
The stem, allowance of life.
The thorns, Protector of beauty.
The petals, the symbol of simplicity.
Nectar, Giving life back from birth.
Blossomed, a treasure to hold forever....

careful as you rest
 in the game of life it's but a test
 getting some things off my chest
 to grow beyond the extreme
 a spice away from its evil scheme
 share with one another the spice of life
 shadows beckon its allowance owed
 to unfold such better days
 to grow...

Just when the quick peruse
Turns obtuse
Thereby roundly refused
That noose for an excuse

We made the day quake with paper
Gracious allowance
By overwriting the undercurrent
Betting down for stamps in the sky

The commander brands his mule
Make the work horse a tuning fork
And finance a forgotten tomb
The evidence of genealogy...

A renewal of the space,
Of gravity, time, allowance,
New creations, new life.
Revival spread through the lands and the hearts.
This is our father’s creation,
The beauty, mind boggling.
The air fresh, crisp, sweet,
The beginning, the end,
New paths, new walks.
Roads . . . they end.
They wind.
Animals, people, 
All things breathing.
Solstice!...

I was thrilled as a peacock
When Suzie blushed and agreed
To come with me to the dance
I bought her the most beautiful corsage
My allowance money could buy
With money leftover for a soda
Tonight’s the night
I’m going to ask Suzie to be my girl

Reaching unto the Passing light everything coming, of life's allowance, 
realisation.' the way of creations travel; and resultant living glimpsed..' 
there is the Presence of possibility's and the placing of days.. Even unto deeds
time not Divine wasted by 
precocity & the mediocre, brooks of life's
insincerity.' Sweep no pathway clean.

Matters of the heart,
left just alone in the dark;

You seek allowance;
Second turnt to first chances;

Withered heart;
No longer stronger, just;

Harden, broken and beaten;
Heartless soul stops beating;

O' God help us find;
Our one and only person divine;

Give us a mate that you've create

The 1959 Sears Christmas Catalog is here
My sister and I are taking turns circling things we want.
Every page has circles, stars, hearts, from our pens.
We are supposed to be getting fifty cents a week allowance.

We figure this up.
In a year we should have $26.00.
We begin planning how we will each spend $26.00
forgetting for a few hours that we have saved $1.25 total this year....

Arthur swore he'd  be less brotherly,
When his brother got disorderly.
He would want their mum less motherly
To get him back to being orderly

A shock from one paid as orderly
His movements are scarcely soldierly
Many things handling haphazardly,
Though his allowance quite niggardly;
Toes from shoes saying it jaggedly...
Orderly whose walks much zigzagged
And finest garments the ragged....

Bushels please stop this we need our light to be sought
Match come to candle unless moths become fraught
Pure enlightenment's easy, walking out of darkness
Meditations upon meditations engage with our prowess

Letting love in, allowance, saying it, "I love you".
It is in the giving, that is how we accrue
Speculation for accumulation, please do not run on empty
Here let me help you, becoming cognescenti...

 Always be humble
and gentle, be patient
with each other, with each other, each other
Making allowance, allowances
For each other's faults
Always be humble and gentle
Be patient always forgiven
Because of your love Jesus
Because of the love of God
Because of your love, Jesus
Because of the love of God the love of God
All things are beautiful

With age comes acceptance
Happiness cannot squeeze itself
Inside the sadness of my head

Winter when its crisp
Tiny morcels of occurance
This will do for me instead

When I feel virtuous
A definite elation
Has surely begun

Shooting down
Incisions of sadness
Forcoming, delaying, outdone..

Embracing visions
Too many, a futile sensation
Natures own allowance that I breathe

Encapulates for me, my five minutes of elation.....

Father's Day's a way to thank Dad
  For all the good times you two have had
Fixing your bike or cutting your hair
  Dad always showed you how much he cared

He helped you with homework, pinch-hit for Mom
  Surprised you with presents, stayed calm during Prom
Drove you to practice; picked you up at the end
  Adjusted your allowance so you'd not overspend

Dad's a pal and a mentor rolled into one
  Guiding your life like the moon and the sun...

Grab the broom; now hurry up and sweep your room.
Go make your bed. Can’t you hear what I just said?
Take out the trash. No, you won’t get any cash!
Do your homework, Son. No games until you’re done.

My allowance is so small, I can’t buy a thing at all.
To my sister I’m not mean, and look, Mom, my hands are clean!
Just for once, can’t you say, “Go and play. Have fun today.”?

She pressed on tightly
Gripping her cloth
Dusting all the dark
Arranging all the packages
She clutched at the years
At all the stillborn frozen dinners

Half parasitic blood
She shrieked at allowance
Thinking she could control
A golden son she never knew

Still, with her napkin
She went to wipe his face
Which had changed considerably
Though she clutched the image of her baby
Deathly afraid of loss

Clinging terribly to sullied napkins
Though for no apparent reason...

Although it matters not anywhere else my heart crushes for what it knows better to have...
I am overreacting and incapable of concluding the ordeal inside myself...
I know how vain and futile such an allowance of mind into obsession is...
Indeed a desperate man void of inspiration leaches on any hope...
This inspires the fire within...
Long a go the fire warmed my soul now so cold...
A stove of ash and coal...
How long shall I dwell within this fantasy so real?...

In a world of pain,
lost and hurt everyday.
Love can be everything.
When loss becomes sleep deprivation,
and the moon no longer glows for you,
take a deep breath and remember,
I'll always be here for you.

When you fall no longer able to withstand such displeasure.
I'll take your hand and pull you close.
Because if you let me I'll be here for eternity,
with your allowance I'll be your strength.
I'll be everything you need,
just as long as you promise not to leave....

I recall desiring dismal disaster
As tension tightened and negative neurons swarmed like hornets 
Over honey not made by them
But by the very enemy

I do not believe my rival became what it was
Till I allowed him in
Willingly, and wittingly

Feeling foreign claws clamp around me
Scratching my untouched skin
To feel what it was like absorbed in that knowing grin

I had not thought it over how it would actually end…
Until it began
