A certain doctor
who attends to a patient
is left sick and weak....

    He takes care of his body
      attends to his psyche too
 
    Yet his neglect of his soul
      he may soon come to rue...

The candles we light
as each person attends
our loved one now gone
but it's far from the end

Gone from the Earth
to live on elsewhere
watching over us
until we are there...

Touch taut times
Reap rich rhymes


Earn each end
Art attends


Spice sweet sip
Urge unzips


Ripples reach
Explore each

Quatrain #862:
GROW


Glimpses of grace tell of love grand,
Rich lavish pace unleash bright blend;
Opt for good trace as heart greets zest,
Works flood true space as love attends.

Love is the numerary gift,
is the holy money of life...
with him we bought the family shelter,
our food, we pay the bills
of a lifetime...
Through him we raise our children,
our fruits...
love is the only boss
who loves us, who attends
 u.s.....

Most folks attend church to worship and praise the Lord as a general rule,

But this is not necessarily the case for God-fearing Deacon Cletus O'Toole.

He religiously goes to church every Sunday to take a nap (such is his nerve!),

And partake of potluck suppers and to quaff the coffee and donuts they serve!...

Spicy ambience,
Exotic blend;
Explore nuance
Living attends;
Indulge strange feel,
Trance in quaint street;
Touch thrills that reel,
Laughter now greets;
Ebony grins.
Imprint fond smiles;
Note charming scenes,
Dressy tints style;
In ancient sway,
A timely play.

Charm attends choice,
Observe the proof;
Make sure of poise,
Ply voice of truth;
Live love that lasts,
Express in kind;
Trust holds on fast,
Endows sure mind.
Allow the plot,
Note feisty stay;
Sense profound thought,
Worth that now pays;
Emblems of grace,
Rest on your face.

Constraint

kite 
attends height 
With a dream delight. 

To taste the virtue of emancification, 
To gracefully enjoy the bliss of eternal celebration. 

To enchant the saga of the supernal plan of plight, 
Alas! the earthy string holds her back tight. 

To end her fantasies, 
With vigorous 
Constraint.

Have no fear of me
Nor my words
For I dance with the truth
Walk with humility
Sleep in sincerity
My dreams of you are pure
My beating heart assure

Have no fear of me
Nor my thoughts
For I am at ease with my conscience
For the stars are my eternal friends
The moonbeams kiss and make amends
And my favourite heart my soul attends

I know your out there somewhere...

Inner vision flings,
Nurture the sure seed;
Touch flavours all things,
Explore beyond need;
Note the happy thrill,
Textures spring delight;
Make moments reveal,
Observe with insight;
Value warm message,
Enchant sacred thought;
See beyond passage,
Yield to play and plot;
One truth attends now,
Union floods endow.

She shows empathy in every kind of way
Compassion parades ahead of her every day
Humanity dispersed as she attends the fray

How can she consistently and always be
Full of love for her fellow beings with glee?
She is as the neighbors and friends clearly see.

Animosity gone, for she is a delight
Indifference to anyone would not feel right.
There is no malice in this woman’s light....

I Didn't Mean To Do It!


My mom would go to bingo with her friends,
her elephant statue also attends;

they mark their cards with quick skill,
and mom always won-  until; 

I smashed the elephant-  mom's winning ends !

Kid faces often changed names during my child years of play

but fun adventures same filled each child's innocence sachet

that I hope life retained to aid the adults all became one day.

Inside, games, crafts and pretend dramas made home a fun stay.

The most vibrant quests were amazingly best in nature's array.

Surely childhood play attends adulthood with youthful sway.

I shall write of bygone days
Old memories, old-fashioned times
Of strange and primitive ways,
Simple tunes and easy rhymes.
When poems were read out loud
To entertain family and friends,
Prayers were said with heads bowed
To each his own business attends.
While life flowed steadily onward
And chaotic noises were eschewed,
At all costs everyone avoided discord
And dinnertime was a day reviewed.

Lagos booms
Portharcourt blooms,
Abuja blossoms
in the loveliness of my cream.

Niger sings,
Kaduna cheers,
Kano salaams,
in the rivers of my tears.

Alone....all alone,
decay and desolation gather days
and in woe my nights.
All things that love the sun mourn
on every side of me.

Look!.......look!
Look at my darkly face.
My story attends in tears and sorrow.
Look...look now in my eyes,
in one stride comes anguish....

Toward the heavens the moon ever climbs
         Love claims her majestic throne among the stars
           I stand before her mystic shrine, in throe of heart
       Grant mine love’s decree and return his desire unto me
              Much hope attends mine wish; I plead of thee
                 Oh queen of hearts tend mine wounded soul
               In mine solitude I weep and upon moonlit paths 
                        I shall wander haunted by his memory...

Chance upon what chance endows
Wise beyond what wise knows how


Change becomes what change finds ground
Style moves sum what style finds sound


Beauty shows what beauty frees
Folly knows what folly see


Lovely finds what lovely can
Heart now minds what heart attends


Poise fashions what poise excels
Voice actions what voice propels


Living space what living wills
Charm can face what charm feels

The koala's spiritual beliefs
Are difficult to assess.
He attends no mosque or synagogue
And never does confess.
He's not a cannibal and so
Communion is appalling,
And as for gospel singing,
It's just so much caterwauling.
I suppose he's an agnostic,
Yet he often stops and ponders
The reason for this universe
And all its many wonders.
And so we must be satisfied
With this insight that's been slipped us,
While he goes back to being cute
And munching eucalyptus....

One man attends the funeral 
for a slain police officer,
murdered while simply doing his job, 
a routine traffic stop, for Christ sake!
The other man attends a glitzy 
star-studded fundraiser filled with wealthy elite,
whose gold-plated plans 
are kept secret behind the scenes,
hidden from lesser folk,
who can't know and would not understand,
it tastes good when shoved down the throat;
becoming a sweet nectar--life will be easier 
when fools own nothing and are happy....

The potter sows seed and is ready to reap a harvest. She begins work at twilight.
She plants, scatters seeds, and water the field. She smiles with delight because her chores are well-done.
The day is consumed with abundant labor; because the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few.
She engages with her field and leaves nothing unfinished. She attends to it as a mother to a child. This passion is something that cannot be ignored; because she never knew a love like this before....

Of ventures dates arise and forth
Musky as tortures I swinging
       Quasi I view myself hate or enrich
Who by pigeonholed proof been
Of actives kinship thy bachelors
       Around a try within of vibrantly range
Indeed, handle as matters upon
A dress code dealt
       Thus as doubts or widely inquire
And sinlessly lo ways
In state done so hornily, so straight
       And be jealous in signify a foe wan
Culled up essential by her, and obvious
Culled off mine attends of bachelor....

Another day ends
Sleep retrieves memories
A strange touch attends


Journey journal page 
Words spread slanting you see
On a virtual stage


Watch the words compile
Tales attract attention
Ooze and squeeze now style


Curious wonder spreads
In fatal attraction
Words fashions odd dread


Come away right now
Pretty petty passage
Scripts of drafts tell how


In a basic feel
Heed the rough message
Ink stains buy goodwill
