Premium Member They Hold Me Together

With featherpen in hand, 

 I ascribe anew. 

 On tablet command 

 my point-of-view, 

 one for only them to see.   
     
 These two objects won't disagree. 

 I hold them together, as they do me.

Virulent and Vascilating Vibe

Virulent and Vascilating Vibe

From somewhere in sky  dropped a scribe,
Who had been with virulent, vacillating vibe;
Green beans  stringy,
And somewhat dingy;
As to what he said and will always ascribe.

Premium Member That Toe-Tapping Feeling

Some ascribe it to rhythm
    others to rhyme
  The lines have a feeling
    fingers and toes keep the time

  Whatever the case
    be it poem or song
  That hand-clapping, toe-tapping feeling
    tells you ~ 'I belong!'

AN ALLITERATIVE ABC

always abridge  ascribe and amplify an  adsorbable affliction andiron again

buttress by backsliding  but  brandish bent bigotry

credibly crumpled choppy  cocopa can campanulate caring catoptric centrocercus crabbedness


Premium Member Harbor

Unprison in my heart,
Unlock words I struggle giving;
Like the flutter of a lark,
Wing what's coming from within me;

Let my soul be set on fire,
Like madrone, or manzanita,
To promote the words I hide;
Ascribe my life to rightly speak up –

The Writer

Forgive me if I prattle on,
But that's what we writers do--
We give a thought a thousand words
When it needed only two.
But now and then we take a theme,
Like an amber leaf in fall--
Ascribe to it a single verse,
Or perhaps no words, at all.

Why Are We Here

I often wondered
Why am I me and not someone else
I don't have an answer
And the older I get
The less interesting the question becomes
Are we all random results of biology?
Without purpose or meaning?
As humans we ascribe meaning to things
If this is all we are
Life seems a cruel joke

Ethics

I presumed I perceived an abysmal sigh
The last time I called on my mother's sepulcher
She was though in agreeable amity thereby
Wallowing in God's vicinity and altar

No sooner had I my eyes sealed
She cropped up and resolved the zephyr
Annotating the decencies we've alas spoiled
Ascribe their soul tumult and sever.

Of Yin and Yang

All impressions we ascribe as human is that within the scope of our perception of this universe's expressions is by degrees and modes of Yin and of Yang with balance imposed upon us, aside of us, and even at the expense of us, regardless of our collectively agreed upon ideals and especially our narrow definitions of a feminine and masculine imposed on men and women.

Quack

If an apple a day keeps the doctor away to such proverb he'd not subscribe as the income lost to defray his cost foolish he would ascribe and instead if looking sickly feeling ill on my deathbed a home visit plus pill he'd quickly prescribe as a patient I used to be but now a customer that is me and the Hippocratic Oath he ducks like a quack as to quote it he is quite loath

Premium Member Recipe Four The Butterfly Leaving The Innocent Cocoon

you barf baster again
washbowl always amplify serious
burden but buttress can
gloriously grandstand crumpled expunging
never negotiate prolonged affliction
center choppy crabbedness extract
stillness for greenback stockholding
that ascribe brandish backsliding
gastrogavage plumping faintness and
your wedding will be
unalterable fluttering caring desirableness

Your Excellency

The facade of your election;
Brings no accolade to the nation;
Your ambitions lack honesty;
And your actions are a travesty.

You travel abroad to collect honors;
Yet you ravel the region with horrors;
Some describe your style as canny;
Yet all ascribe your rule as tyranny.

With only your candidacy;
We have the ascendancy of autocracy;
We lack the decency of democracy;
We observe the supremacy of idiocy.

A Shifted Responsibility

A sunken face on all sides pale,
As the owner’s head keep supporting a pail,
Then, to the also saddled younger,
He flung a suffocating order:
That he his own suppressive load take over,
And if he so wished bear it forever,
But must not any bitter tale,
Dare to their daddy tell,
About a sudden disgraceful inability,
Or a shifted responsibility,
As all hearers would judge it disguised hostility,
And to him ascribe lesser agility.

Premium Member Igor needs a bigger lab XII

In bed Don loves wearing his gold
Where billionaire's come to the fold  
They need not hold loins
But just buy Trump coins
While we work till we're dead and old

Trump’s deals concern what he can break
It’s how this Don hauls in his take
The rich on him spend
As they must depend
On what they’ve kissed his ass to make

His son’s payoff struck them as bad
Republicans hate Hunter’s dad
But they won’t ascribe
Meme coins as a bribe
And part of Trump’s theft launching pad

Mental Health

Many a people faces a health stigma
Everyone thinks it all just in the mind
Nothing prepares you when you lose it
Talking about it who is really listening
Asking for help should not be so hard
Locking yourself away is not healthy

Happiness of a person appears locked up
Everyone is an individual not a living book
Ascribe treatment taylored to the person
Listening it is only a part of the solution 
The mind of a person will protect itself
Healing itself may become a slow process
