Heavy snow falling
Trudging to railway station
Trains canceled again...

when I die and they cancel 
my library card....

Zippity-doo-dah, Zippity-ay
My, oh my, it's a dismal day

My song has been canceled
Bluebirds in dismay

Zippity-doo-dah ~
Disney took me away...

Nature programs are all I watch
Baseball's been canceled the whole lot
Suffering like mad
It's badder than bad
Need Vladamir to take over our thoughts...

        We are not anti-Jewish
          We're only 'anti-Israel,' you see

        So, your Jewish Chanukah celebration is canceled
          ~ it implies we support the Israelis...

Betrayed is a canceled line with

an attachment of true lies- believing 

it yourself, becomes your real truth.

Reality is awake- betrayed is not

a nightmare, but a prison

in your own flesh...

Came home from land of Israel on a red eye flight
Connecting routes canceled because of winter’s bite
I'm camping in the airport with fluorescent view
A weary pilgrim in terminal number two....

Propaganda all day everyday filled the air and minds:
weak minds read only headlines and never ever dared delve further;
strong minds dared asked what is truth, and finding truth, were canceled....

Poor and needy
Needing the other half
Rib in place
For the sake of the make
One, Two
Loneliness canceled
A double move untrampled
Proteciton following
Steps untamed
Balance found in Gods domain...

Contest Canceled


                                  dew graced grass

                             pastel petal-strewn aisle

                                   crushed his heart

Departure

peach blossoms in April
almost home
the sky a cloudy reminder
of the murkiness that
surrounds this misadventure
a handful of doubt
and a handful of reassurances
tossed in the air
canceled out
at last I leave on my own
two feet...

LAND OF NODS Limerick

Once there in the land of Nods
Where all the race hot rods
One race today
Was canceled because of pay
The sponsors were a fake advertising facade squad

Worlds collide, starlight crashes in the dark.
Hope glimmers faintly. Fleeting expectations.
Canceled out dreams, none remembered.
Breathing through the ash in the air. Gasping!
The evaporation of illumination…
Glimmers in the dark…
Gasping...Blinding...Fleeting...Light......

On the darkness hides the lights;
As all of my wrong are canceled turns  into rights;
My outside gleans the resilient flights;
These are the insights;
Well intended listless plight;
Come out of the dark He is Love,  Life and Light;

W inter at times became a paradise lost-and-found  
I recall huddling over a static, crackling old radio
N ews announcement: School canceled tomorrow!
T he yard oh my the yard, buried in a blanket of quiet 
E ven the fence posts wear tilted, funny white hats
R abbit and sparrow tracks in the snow...

Ways of looking at Snow
By: Balloonbombs

A mountain appearing as a cloud.
A fort of ivory in the cold..
A blank white canvas ready to be used.
A light blanket undisturbed until school gets canceled. 

A soft and gentle storm.
A pale white rain falling from above.
A new design with every hour.
A sign that winter is here....

   Shouting and screaming
     about events far away
   Protestors shut down
     the Golden Gate Highway

   An important trial had to be canceled
     business-as-usual victimized, ransomed
   to the vain yells of the progressive nation
     which won't affect one iota
                                  Hamas' devastation

Spurning holy matrimony
Gangs canceled the ceremony
   Poor Tony fell with a thud
   His face covered with blood

Maria arrived seconds too late
Pure love turned now to hate
   Mourning her lover's death
   As he drew his last breath

For my birthday, saw a play
But it is such a rainy day,
We canceled dinner out, but hey – 
It’s cozy here at home.

My husband cooks so we’ve a meal;
A restaurant missed is no big deal
And staying in has such appeal – 
Outside’s too wet to roam.

We’ll eat and drink an ice cold brew
And watch a Netflix show that’s new.
To end the day, what I will do
Is post my daily poem.

Your gossip got me good—
shoved the knife in deep
slashed our sisterhood
turned it like a key
struck a nerve
smeared the blood
flew the words
slung the mud—
What fresh dirt your talk’s become—
enough to bury me!

You may have ruined my name
and canceled my career.
What pains me most is not to know
the meaning of good years.

We prefer putting blame on pastor-counseler
For secretly meeting her without him
He, not suspecting, divide & rule strategem

She later explained, I gave Dean my side
In case you blamed me for our "fall"
It was indeed love (of this world) after all

Best way forward, Dear Heart, seek His Will
Our free will always is our freedom, personality
LORD God never canceled The Commandments Ten...

This morning there was crazy snow
And Spring was someplace hiding,
But now the sun is out as though
Ma Nature is deciding.

Just make your mind up! Do we freeze
Or get the t-shirts ready?
This back and forth stuff does not please;
I’m shivering or sweaty.

When plans are canceled in a storm
It leaves us in a pickle.
They’re saying Wednesday will be warm - 
If Spring stops being fickle!...
