storm waves amassed
if only I had waited
for the waves to pass
my poetry could have floated 
gently to shore...

wealth to be wrenched from the earth,
power to be wielded over nations.
Go forth.

Cold westerly wind doth blow
Only God knows what this day holds

Patricia dawdled through the breakfast
Mom got angry, sent her to Belfast
There she learnt how to run
And how to eat a bun
And returned with the bread crumbs amassed...

A long time ago, when my
Blooming dreams began, my
Cravings amassed like seeds 
Deep in the soil of my heart. I 
Expect a sprouting soon, to bring about
Fulfillment and joy....

Tic toc, time's running out real fast
The signs are there, the dark clouds are vast
Bye bye, have a nice life
Wish you well in spite
Of the massive havoc you've amassed...

who partied from Wexford to Killkenny
his da’ amassed quite a large fortune
he passed away so they say from indigestion
and only left Denny a half-penny

We all went to school in the past-
Remember what we learned when asked.
Yet, Einstein's reply
Kiss knowledge goodbye
We're smarter with skills we've amassed!

Hyperbole is a sports cast
Announcers have egos so vast
My ears must have rest
From this lambasting pest
Collection of morons amassed


Author's note: Is it getting worse, or is it just me?...

In Biden's corridors of power, silence veils the past
A dance with shadows, as grievances amassed
While some are judged by words that sting
Joe finds comfort in a bigoted ring

Julie Andrews cheered us in the past.
'Mary Poppins' award she amassed.
Her fine singing allured
And her movies ensured
Wholesome family fun unsurpassed!

through the years
we gather loads of stuff
of things and gadgets
to one day realize
that in the end
it's only memories amassed
that matter

In Past Wealth Amassed

Present and future ends up in past
That forever is sure to last and last;
Present and current we now live in
That are repeated again and again;
Only in past all our wealth amassed.

Taking everything into consideration it's been a blast
Joy through the years, 'twas quality unsurpassed
Describing it in simple terms
It's near perfection confirmed
A total of many decades of delightful years amassed...

Amassed bulging clouds 
Dashing enmity fusion, 
generously hovering
In jellylike kneaded layaway 
Mysterious noir over
Prairies quietly resting
Suddenly trapped under
Vicious wind’s X rated
Yelling zeal.

Red Holly berries decorate
the Holly shrub; contrast
waxy deep green leaves, buds pop 'pon
the Tulip Tree amassed.

The Camellia Sasanqua's white
blossoms show just below
the last few golden pears of gold_
Better work than Van Gogh 

Possibly unfinished__...

When a strong wind from winters past,
Blew through his memory it cast,
Forlorn feelings of icy blast.
His heart felt frozen hard and fast.
From sturdy stock he was amassed.
Another storm he must out last.

Embers of love, his inner core,
Melted the sadness that he bore....

In spite of deceit or belief,
An aware mind shines bright.
Although a shadow is cast upon its relief,
These two are to come as one.

From stardust we have amassed;
As light we shall reunite.
For in this strifeful, universal might
Resonating waves - we, will always alight:...

I’m stuck in the present
And stuck in the past.
I’m all out of room
From the stuff I’ve amassed.

The future may beckon
But I can’t respond
Because I’m so stuck
I can’t see the beyond.

Where once I possessed
Much more moxie and pluck,
Today I’m depleted
And hopelessly stuck....

While fingers gently twine, your gaze caressed by mine,
We'll pause time's steady drift, indulging in love's gift
Of memories amassed while decades wed slipped past
Then one slow, luscious kiss will launch more years of bliss …

All his life great wealth amassed

To live in opulence wished

Money for ten lives he had

Hardly he lived one

Now, as my hair,eyes and ears slowly decay
I forgot what I remembered yesterday
It seems thereby
That I will not die
But slowly and so surely fade away!

I might not be known for my famous chateau
And I may not have amassed a lot of dough
With a smile I can't forget
My great love of chocolate
I'll be sure to take some with me as I go!...
