peaceful solitude

amidst flora and fauna

let the mood dally

until bluest skies go gray

and sky water gently falls...

While political folks dilly dally
Job growth winds down a deep valley
Employers won't hire
Old folks can't retire
The poor house could be our finale...

He roots this is the finale
How long can she dilly dally?
He thinks she's quite cute
If in her birthday suit
Trump's sure to pollute Nikki Haley...

Dilly dally
In the eye of the storm
As the winds rush by

The reverse being true
As my outside calm
Hides my reeling core

Not so much 
Hidden
Anymore...

When I saw Dilly dally
I thought, "Oh no, this kid's got to rally!
Cuz if he loses this race,
it'll be a total disgrace,
cuz this race was right up his alley.

Oceanrider was he for he roamed slovenry
He met Mustany Sally
To change he did not dally
For she was dish told of in heathenry...

The path I follow
until I can’t go further;
A chasm prevents me
from reaching the other side
and so I dally henceforth....

Time Deposed
Writing verse,
I dally forth

Hours more stole,
than loaned

Prose to suffer,
and wait in line

Time once more
—deposed

to
stay 
away
too 
long 
is 
wrong;
to
dally
too
long
is 
wrong;
act
now,
do
not 
wait,
act
now
on
this
song.

Don’t sorry says mother it is not very far
Arrived with a cell phone in each teen’s hand
Visits are rare and limited in grandma land

I burn, though, just for a moment, 
your eyes, new, on my skin, 
flushing pomegranate,
embarrassed,
as I dally, 
to your cue.

"Helios", you said.

I, the last of morning's dew.

Toll and Tally Taken On Valley
Toll and Tally Taken On Valley

What Trump did  was to dilly dally,
When he had been at the big rally;
Those supported,
Were all shorted;
Tossed trash took its toll and tally.

Makes No Matter Where Trump Has Been
Makes No Matter Where Trump Has Been

Makes no matter where Trump has been,
What he had done did again and again;
Dilly dally
At a rally,
Usually looking like a  stupid shenanigan.

Dawn
Those who dream 
and value Time 
live to see a Dawn.

But doomed into 
the ruins of a Dinosaur
are those that forever
Dilly-Dally.

For theirs is Drowning
and Dropping
Till history judges
them Harshly....
