Lambs ear feels like velvet
Uplifting my soul...

Learning to open a door.
Resisting consecutive snores.
Ignorance of mirthful wars.
Decidedly dull lore....

There's something funny about God
That some find decidedly odd
We look to the sky
And still wonder why
We only find peas in a pod...

He lied. He cheated. His ways were obscene.
He could be unruly and truly mean.
In every kind of way
I really must say
His integrity decidedly not keen....

Brilliant singer of nature
        Interpreter of the sounds from heaven
        Remembering the ancient times
        Decidedly  splendid companion for life...

Speedy Bill was often apprehended
For driving faster than recommended.
He paid officers no heed
Even increased his speed.
Now he’s on a wall decidedly distended....

The economy's decidedly poor,
But the President's spender ain't sore,
He keeps spending our money, 
And laughs like it's funny,
What happens when there ain't no more?...

Read More

When I think of traveling backwards in time
With all of life’s processes run in reverse,
The thought of unaging seems wondrously fine,
But of undigesting, decidedly worse....

Read More

I recoil at your previous wish duly met...
but timelessly bled

Escapes restrained our semblance of dread,
but limitlessly crept

I had specks of me for you to test,
now decidedly unkempt......

Infatuation
Is when you scrutinize somebody
Strikingly illustrious
Love
Whenever you recall them
Aren't flawless
Decidedly, it has no effect.

Fallen flower
By my back you kept a watch
Snatched from life
Wrenched mark decidedly contrived

Knot in my soul
Untied, I stumble in the night
Our time dissolved
Rejoin ahead our fields of light...

Two chairs stare from across the room,
leaning on each other like worn puzzle pieces,

mine, towards the front where I often
perch in anticipation of life, yours,

decidedly towards the right where
you lean in anticipation of me....

There was a young lad named Bryn
        
         who was looking decidedly grim

        When dad with sneaky aplomb

        Threw a shock water bomb

       Now all he's wearing is a great
                     big grin!...

Poems are coming slowfully.
For I am most woefully
And truly most woefully
In the hospital doe-fully

Itching my skin until bleeding
More potent pills I am pleading
Poems are decidedly misleading
Me out of this stupor I’ll be needing...

Read More

Truth is not an absolute
but an attitude of commitment
Throwing its blanket decidedly
over questioning and doubt
Paying deference to the moment
while blessing its intention
Choices made and choices bade
—verbatim roundabout

             In A Word

Writing this poem in the wee early 'morn.
Oh, so joyfully grateful,I was ever born!
Rich is my life with blessed-family and great friends.
Decidedly, positive, a Deist, planning on joy to my very end!

My love is a flower
unfolded and symmetrical
decidedly delectable.

My love is a petal
seamless and silent
to a touch softly compliant.

My love is perfume
I am wont to consume
when it graces a room.

My love is a vision
of supernal design
who , thank God,
is gloriously mine....

Years of trauma and misery
Years of agony and pain
Oh, dear Lord…
Let it rain. 

Let the rain wash away my suffering 
Let the rain make me feel restored and new

Someone in my past has caused me to feel this way
If that person was here now, I’d say to them, “I decidedly forgive you”....

Listen to poem:

no harm done
words rolling off the tongue
mellow and melodious
luscious and lingering
seductive and suggestive
feelings hushed yet heightened

a dainty dilemma decidedly delicious
delightfully divine

i am filled
with an abiding passion
a decidedly overwhelming
sense of completion
at the mere touch
of your hand
and you are inside me
light bursting
from a heart
overcome with emotion
pulsing with desire
that courses through
my every vein
my mind
my body
my soul
are
By Love Possesed....

Trump slipped on the ice as a kid
His mum thought that he'd flipped his lid
Because - with the dawn -
His ethics were gone
His dad blamed the Wizard of Id

A six-times bankrupt is not a fool
Just a crook decidedly cruel
He buys without paying
Thinks chicks are for laying
With free bleach injections for school...

The astronaut saw the black hole
And suddenly feared for his soul 
He chose to die brave
And gave life a wave
And as he went in he cried, “Goal!”

The astronaut clung to his pride
As his atoms were spread far and wide
And he nearly cried
Because as he died 
A voice in the dark said, “Off side!”...

If I was a plant
It would be a cactus.
Pretty to look at
But painful to hold.

If I was a place
It would be Alaska.
Beautiful, majestic,
But decidedly cold.

For every action
There is a reaction.
Or maybe it's karma I'm told.

But without you to love me
I would have no reason
To still be here when I'm old....

Conference day
Some leave happy
Excited, thrilled.
High fiving their teachers,
Loving them still.
Twirling and whirling 
A dancing drill.
Others leave unhappy,
Decidedly sad,
Protruded upper lip,
Frowny forehead, acting all big and bad.
Angry eyes,
Completely surprised,
After their mean teacher
Spread her lies....
