Some Itchy Skin It Had Been

We had heard that his confusion,
Was contributed  to his delusion,
And itchy skin,
Again and again;
Could be contributed to contusion.

Mama allowed her daughter freedom to dress her way
Noncustodial dad who rarely came by wanted to have his say
She dresses too provocatively, he said, but they chased him away
He had never contributed anything to her, by the way...

My life meets many people's lives:
Some give me sadness
Some give me joy
Some give me instructions
Some give me lessons
I thank everyone who made me grow:
Who made me hurt
Who deceived me
Who made me doubt life
Who contributed to make me strong....

he had an inkling
as to what the world was
as to what the universe was

which is why 
his sitting on the porch step
playing a beloved jews harp
was so poignant 
among the other spheres

and as if, through it,
these convoluted orbits
of journey-filled rounds
contributed dearly
to his rhythm

Mary hiked up to Pipi Springs
With hope of seeing pretty things
A little tinkle
Became a sprinkle 
When all she saw were ding-a-lings

2nd Verse
Contributed by Jan Allison:

To Mary their antics were shockin'
blokes certain all had their cok in 
some folk they were nude 
their bonking was lewd
if unlucky a baby their clockin....

Trembling with rage while it rains
I roar in pain
The emotions is strong 
How much I have contributed?
How long have I travelled.

I mustn't wait any longer to have regrets
Vengeance must be taken
But when?

Leading by troops to crush enemies.
Drinking their blood and eating their flesh
We must regain our land
And revive our spirit....

Of course Donald Trump will not bail!
Trump's next stop is most likely jail!
His lawyers need money
So do be an Honey
And send all you have without fail!

Contributed by Jan Allison

'The Donald' actions have been rash
The miser's now after YOUR cash
Is this twerp for real 
He's begging with zeal - 
I'm certain he has his own stash!...

The purpose of modesty wisdom and serenity
we spotted roadblocks in the countryside
Beyond this stage genuine realms and ages
the purpose of modesty wisdom and serenity
Mankind is flawed humanity is tarnished
Evil and unethical events contributed to his death
the purpose of modesty wisdom and serenity
we spotted roadblocks in the countryside

It is not the number of enemies that one should count in his life

but the number of friends that are willing to help him in his strife*

Chastity went to a nudist camp
And wondered why they turned down the lamp
But when she saw Dick
With his wilted wick
She knew at once why the seats were damp!

 Contributed by Belle Bellevue:

Chastity quickly dressed and left the site
Not wanting to be classed “lady of the night” 
At home was a note 
Her sister had wrote, 
“Gone to set the wicks of the world alight”...

Our family’s hearth we forgot,
Village well, riverfront, forgot.

Dwelling on idol’s form, figure,
Truth of faith, folklore we forgot.

Trying to hold off teeming tears,
Story’s joyous end we forgot.

Pandemic fears so overwhelmed,
Fixed virus, patient we forgot!

Counting who all contributed,
What all God did oh we forgot!

But my school master
my father and mother
the classmates and friends
contributed little, or nothing

Lessons to write poems
Life taught me major skills
Inspired me with intrinsic love
And it made me to conclude;

“Best and lasting lessons in life
are not taught by institutions,
but by the often neglected
wild bushes of life. 
The harsher the wilderness,
the greater the lesson.”...

As the
First day of
A year that started
Begin with a new mindset
Leaving behind the burdens with the past year

As a new year begins, make a commitment with yourself to be a better person, so when the year ends and you summarize what you did, one of the first achievements in the list is that you contributed to make this world a better place for all the humanity.

The sawdust lay upon the floor
Each speck was well defined.
'Thanks be to trees, ' one said aloud, 
'That we are nothing more! '

But one poor speck just would not rest, 
'There was a plan! ' cried he.
'We're not just dirt the wind blows 'round, '
God loves us don't you see? '

So all the specks contributed
To God's anointed specks
Until the day the trash was burned
And all God's specks were dead....

"Stay with me."
And allow me peace.
No fighting for fame.
No focus for fortune.
Keep me yours, and I will "be".
Lines and stanzas. 
Stories and books.

"These are our verses contributed."

Secrets. Release. 
Escape and admire.
This is the portrait of us.
Finding meaning in each other.

Hearts and words, 
my oldest friend.
Bonded by letters, 
Sealed by blood and breath.
And together...
"We conquer death."...

   Where are your voices, Me-too, Planned Parenthood, NOW
      your Jewish sisters violated, raped by the dozens - How
      come you've gone quiet, 
                           your silence deafens ... 

        Those Jewish sisters supported you during hard times
        contributed big bucks, marched with you to protest crimes ...

           Now, your covert antisemitism ~
           your future credibility threatens...

Two black holes spiraled,
their dance
sent ripples 
through the universe –
racing at speed of light
waves
warp spacetime.

A billion years later,
on a small planet, 
laser beams zoom between mirrors,
capture the echo.
Einstein’s heirs 
decode
the message.

In honor of the scientists and engineers who contributed to the discovery of gravitational waves which was honored with the Nobel Prize in physics today...

Do not say you know
As you do not know
How painful the tears were
How unbearable the feeling was
Let me be

Do not say you know
As you do not know
What my life experiences are
What my dreams are
Let me be

Do not say you know
As you do not know
How the disappointments encountered made me feel
How the cruelty contributed to my well being
Let me be

Do not say you know
As you do not know
What began
What ended
Let me be...

* Yesterday, a devastating fire broke out around, Athens, Greece which devoured homes, cars, animals, forests but, fortunately, thanks to good planning by the state, no human life was lost. The temperatures of 45-46 degrees Celcius, contributed to the catastrophe. The fire has not been put 
out yet!...

To all women who have contributed  to the growth of humanity, through their relentless sacrifices, commitments,  dedications, endurance, courageous deeds, and resilience. 
From the ones that would marry, conceive, or  birthed in the slums and trenches and downtowns , to the streets of the highwalls in the cities across the globe. You're  our heroes and we celebrate  your existence today and always. 
Happy mother's day  to you all.

Homeless Miss The Most

I never have  been a perfect host,
Yet still do like homeless the most;
Second Helpings Program existed;
To participate more have enlisted.

Food is available for all of them,
Even if it has been a her or him;
From local stores is contributed,
And by our church is distributed.

In church song had been humming,
Those in need up we were summing,
And no matter how many or why,
Know God will always help us try.

The world has produced
weapons of mass destruction
to annihilate

A new invention
science has contributed
to humanity

For the sole purpose
of destroying and killing
enemies of states

Such a cruel act
of ending life in one sweep
of nuclear bomb

Man is an idiot
that never learns his lessons
history has taught

From Hiroshima
to Nagasaki bombing
are lessons of war

Is life valuable?
a midst this vast destruction
there's no hope to life...
