Trump Big Bone of Contention
Trump was big bone of contention;
Smart Aleck at political convention;
Much disdain;
Constant pain;
In ranks raised so much dissension.
Jim Horn
Must Mention Each Ration of Compassion
About Trump are things we must mention;
Definitely has been big bone of contention,
And nibbled at,
A dumb doormat,
While many problems exist with retention.
Jim Horn
The strike was very swift.
Yet they gave us a priceless gift.
But the bone of contention was still there.
The elders called all concerned to be here.
Behold the other tribal chiefs were still discussing
the rift.
A bone of contention
can be chewed until
nothing worth having
is left to be won.

WHY
Three letters
commanding attention
Three letters
the bone of contention
One syllable
bigger than Everest
One syllable
birthing our interest
Questioning forward
questioning back
Answering tightly
answering slack
Words that fall silent
words that delight
Trapdoor to darkness
— gateway to light
WHY

~~**~~
not my intention
nor a bone of contention
social convention
~*~
look for facts I search
I research but get confused
or am I confused
~*~
I used to be brash
I used to be brazen bold
no more I got old
~*~
we take sides to fight
politics and religion
pray or become prey
~*~
hate poisons the mind
arrogance is ignorance
divided we fall

father gave me life
his love fills my heart with joy
my daddy is best
~*~
moms are heaven sent
angels on earth mothers are
love like no other

look for facts I search

not my intension

I used to be brash
I used to be blazen bold
no more I got old

I heard someone say that they don’t like poetry,
I hope they don’t close their mind
Just as I, with any prose, like to wait and see,
Hope I will continue and find
That the words I read are the words I need
To express feelings, simply sow a seed.
It may be a start or a bone of contention,
Herald thoughts, lead to invention
Of a best seller story or a perfect rhyme,
But I always give the words time,
To make an imprint, try me to impress,
Lead me to issues I have to address.
