To bid an auction of two colors

Autumn Orgy at Trump Resorts
Promises virile indoor sports
But what will they find
On Donald Trump's mind
After they auction off his shorts?...

ebon noisemakers
brass-blows, red-green drums
tympanic lament of grief
solace throws on brown sofa

wrapped in tissue and in tears

Face
For selling
For public

No one made 
A bet....

It's not up for auction like many other hearts are
It's there for the holding when soothing your scar


It beats only for one and that one is you
My heart I give freely and a love that is true

Arise off your Knee's
Please, Stop trying to Please

I cannot think of a bad thing you have Done
Your one in a Million
At auction would fetch a cool Billion
With the Heart of a Trillion...

The Unspoken
By: Tom
November 15, 2020

Sometimes those lofty thoughts and profound ideas
that we’ve deemed worthy of an estate sale,
often wound up in an auction house
because the road from heart
to tongue had a
bridge out.

TODAY’S LESSON…         

Shakespeare staged the world;
the auction block a memic—
Othello, its prize:-

Truth is always deep;
revealing reality—
liberating minds:-

Truth’s love never lies;
untwisting false-sucking tongues—
revealing itself:-

a sink of pots and pans
are a jazz quartet,

for those forced to make
there way alone in life

they never walk in beauty for
the miles are always longer when
the path is steep.

knee pads come with the uniform
for possums breaking
their disguise....

if you hold the ocean up to your ear
an old empty shell is what you will hear

a creature long dead that once called it home
his belongings sent to charity, all his stuff gone

sold by online auction or by family taken
but he’ll always be there as the sound of the ocean

While D.T.'s old image was bold
His weird rants seem hoary and cold
If campaign funds fade
The next asset trade
Is having Melania sold

Why would he throw away caution?
Seems like he’s got brain exhaustion
While human slave trade  
Appears retrograde
This artifice needs an auction

In the auction of love my heart is the star lot
The gavel will go down as Cupid’s arrow hit the spot  

I fall on bended knee and offer you a diamond ring
Please accept it my beautiful Queen, and I’ll be your King

In Memoriam: Owen the Pheasant
Lost at an auction in Vermont betwixt a first edition Anna Karenina and a bitter divorcée named Ruth. 


There once was a pheasant named Owen,
whose plumage was splendid and showin’.
but a flatlander brute,
with a camo jumpsuit,
won him cheap—next to Tolstoy—unknowin’.

A little bit of passion in a bowl
A little bit of sharing in a plate
A little bit of mission in a cup
A little bit of fiction in a gourd
A little bit of motion with our hands 
No pollution, no tuition, no auction, no violation. 
                    Lets Double Dip
Caution! !!!! Someone has germs from last week!!!!...

Once in a garden I saw,
Just by an old workshed door
Bulbs in a pot, 
that looked really hot
On a spring bought at auction for sure

The promise of  growth in repose
Perhaps daffodils soon would make shows?
Though winter's been dreary
Soon new growth would  cheer me
From tractor spring; sprung support all a r'ose.'...

Alone will all stand, void of lawyers or mentors
no person will escape from the best orators
chance has no chance, gone is the period of options
human deeds are displayed for reckoning to auction
heaven and hell seated and ready to suction
a judge is on the throne not an arbitrator
who condemns to everlasting pain on any traitor.

a steady pidgeon
for him will provide much food
with white is tattooed

tried to save my skin
to find would go on a spin
found world full of sin

paper does pertain
readers who remain in rain
have become insane

went to news auction
came up with concoction
had used much caution

know an editor
performs as news predator
well known creditor...
