Vincent van Gogh
two things we really should know
sunflowers aplenty
lost both of his ears the day he was twenty....

But those we’ve had are many
	Let us all avow

You were born in the land of Venice
Had lovers aplenty
Now you glide alone
Along the dark canal
A giggling gondola ghost....

He's so kind and sweet,
Making my blood sugar peak.
Still craving his love.
Have remedies aplenty.
Just still need him in my life....

There once was a girl named Minnie
carried a bright shiny penny
	she spent it as gold
	and never was told
that a penny wasn’t aplenty...

Antics aplenty
Plastic dog poop everywhere
Rude whoopee cushions
Is your fridge running? Catch it!
Loony pranks for April Fools'

Love is many, Water is many
And flows aplenty 
But Fire is one
And consumes until gone
All but purity. 

If to each other we belong
And we’re to stay strong
Then feel the fever
And douse with ether;
Purify the bond....

views are aplenty 
comments, abysmally few
what am I missing

the words you have read
must not have been amusing
silence confuses

write a few words, dear
let our souls have communion
tell me what you think

To compose poems aplenty
One needs to have thoughts dainty
A poet with clear insight
Should verse at any sight

Little collection of sweet pearls
From mind that gush in swirls
Apt choice and presentation
Makes one’s poem a sensation...

It was your artistry that I had always beheld in envy.
It was your poetry that inspired me to write my own aplenty.
It was your amity that was gone for what seemed to be an eternity.
It was your artistry that kept me holding onto our affinity....

How the years have hurried by this century
 so many wild enticing adventures aplenty,
heroes and heroines succumbing 
 to every hope and dream forthcoming
even these senior years are not defeated
 still breathing life to make the dream completed....

Avenue 11
Pierced through the skin of my ears
Sprayed into my atmosphere
Exclamation marks aplenty
And stained blue and white uniforms
So very lovely and uneven
Like the paths I have crossed
Like the streets I have walked
And the avenues I have stalked...

You thought it would be so easy
To give up on life 
To just moan and groan 

With seasons changing
There is reason aplenty
To try again, nothing remains 

The same, it may rain today
Yet tomorrow,  the sun might shine
And chase all those rain clouds away …...

While we have breath,
we boast and argue
of things we know 
and those we know not 

While we have breath,
we give reasons aplenty,
the messiah, not to accept
and the gospel, not to believe

When it is gone,
will we be able, 
him to face,
with argument and alibi?...

There was a scary witch from McTeer
Who said she would skip Halloween this year
The world was scared aplenty
From this year twenty twenty
And that they'd probably run out of fear

I’ve been here before in a
semblance of remembrance of
dutiful belongings for things
said, done, delivered, denied 
truthed and lied——-glistening 
in heart hopes of a rapturous 
mind meld change to bliss
entities candid prophesies charged on a
Poised path to delightenment aplenty...

She eats aplenty, plays, and sleep 
My cat does nothing more, hereon 
Dozes well, adept at count'ng sheep
Wakes to stretch, mouth a gaping yawn

She stands up, bends, and turns a some
Lays back asleep- to no avail
Naps last, until, the day is done
Come night-time, a different tale...

I did not pluck him from a garden, for

no beautiful and fragrant rose is he.

Neither a vine with fruit aplenty nor

some exotic plant of mystery.

He simply is my tall, rugged, and abiding tree.

enchanted is this evening sky
so here we stand just you and i
stars aplenty the moon less shy
its image on the water wry
the wind it sends a breathless sigh
this night it seems is passing by
a long embrace as time draws nigh
a tear it forms within my eye
as lips caress a kiss goodbye

It seemed like yesterday
We deemed new hope in play.

Rare New Year did appear-
Its Two-Thousand premier!

Decade, times two, flew by-
We prayed peace would comply.

Aplenty letdowns massed-
by Twenty-Twenty's blast!

A cornucopia of sweets 
 For those who trick or treat
 An abundance of ghouls out there
 To give us all a scare

 Thanksgiving gives us feasts aplenty
 With delicious ham and turkey
 

 Christmas gifts abound
  beneath the Christmas tree
  Santa comes to town!

An island so captivating
I hear it calling me
Lady sea embraces her land
Where daffodils grow by the sea

Winding roads ,stone buildings
History and charm are aplenty
An island abundant with character
Where daffodils grow by the sea

An island abound with rugged beauty 
Untouched to just be
A little slice of heaven
Where daffodils grow by the sea...

A runaway world, 
The herald of mystic lands, 
Sheltered behind glass, 

Promise Land setting, 
Destination directions, 
Hidden underneath, 

A sole bungalow, 
Coconut laden palm trees, 
And fish aplenty, 

Whitest of beaches, 
The sun dances off the shore's, 
Microscopic pearls, 

My future escape, 
For now it's temporary, 
In my own snowglobe....
