By Angeline Vine 

In the midst of someone's middle age
it was discovered that one a day
could help 

Except it really depended on what
one accepted as 'middle age'...

There were no guys quite like Ben and Jerry   
                     She depended on them for her dairy
She liked it with nuts
No ifs, ands or buts
And she often found room for a cherry...

Depended On and Relied

On you we often depended on and relied;
Listen to suggestions that were supplied;
You I did see,
Instead of me;
Would always feel so much better inside.

If the fate of the world depended on you
Have you any idea what new thing you'd do
Make love a top priority?
Treat everyone morally?
Not a bad start, lotsa luck seeing it through...

and one suggestion of a way to we see it through…

Pray as though everything depended on God…

Work as though everything depended upon you.

You are a stone cold
Habitual
Pathological 
Liar
You can not tell the truth 
About anything 
Even If your very life depended on it
This is what 
Addiction has done to you
This is what has become of you...

On Trump Depended and Were Rear-Ended

We never would know what Trump intended,
And upon he was to difficult to be depended;
He had hearing;
Out were clearing;
Had caused complications when rear-ended.

We urchins did survive
The cesspool of our streets.
Our joy at being alive
Depended on such treats
As husbandry can do. 
In sounds of songs unsung
We learned this as we grew--
Flowers grow from dung
And ancient songs renew....

He didn’t recall events,
But remembered my name
Dementia clouded reality
Nothing ever the same

But, still, we did all together
He depended on me…and,
I depended on him;
Strange how that was in the end

So people have 
   told you 
to stop 
   People say you have no talent
Don't back down! 
   Critics are not creators 
You are! 
 Pick up your pens 
Poetry Soup poets!
  Write from the depths of your being! 
Write like your life depended on it!...

A pregnant woman boards the bus
  Do we always make way
  Or do we turn away
She depended on our kindness!
  When did we go astray
  What does your conscience say

Egotists
can be depended upon to say I, myself, mine, and me.
Let me talk with those like me who say you, yourself, us, and we
altruists.

Always depended on the wind to carry me where i needed to go,
 never expected one day that it would not blow, 
a tumbleweed without a home 
needs a breeze to help move it along
 'coz if it sits still to long,
 a fire is ignited by the scorching sun, 
and where there once was one,
 now there is none...

Second Chances 3

My Doctors give their best
During my life and death hour,
But was unable to explain
 Why my life hadn't ended. 

Some recognized, and said, 
It's due to a higher power,
After doing all they could
On prayer/God it depended.

Clairvoyant you are kidding right?
Telepathic? Sure. Snort. Snicker.
She could strike him dead
But would it be kind?
Their continued friendship
Depended on her not showing
Any other sides of herself.
She was careful not to shape shift
While he was in the room
Wasn't it bad enough she had
accidentally turned him into a frog?...

1."I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." A Streetcar Named Desire, 1951


God sometimes sends an unknown pass
to lend His divine touch
a hand from heaven sent
with bold assurance in their reach
that knows your needs so much
rest gentle's in their palm.

Our soldiers line up to be remembered
As the best of the best at their job.
They wish to be needed and depended on
To save all we love from the mob.

They risk their life and limb for liberty
Standing firm against evil unwilling to break.
To be part of something greater than themselves
They are willing to sacrifice whatever it will take....

Bonds are breaking cold
Upon the heart is all wealth
Nothing left but self

Secure in our fear
Violence has no heart left
Progress stumbles here

None depend again
Has love depended before
I have only me

The school of want gone
What can I learn without love
But hunger again

Guns without ears laugh
Machines without heart embraced
Victims of progress...

An elderly concubine looks
at the black silky lace* 
in the crimson casket
with a smile of understanding.
The royal gift of grace
from the new young sultan.

* The Lace Of The Sultan. Whoever got it had to commit suicide by strangling himself with it.

My life once depended on a friendly turn of fate

I hung my lonely lover, with a noose named heavens gate

Your life is menial to me, my friend, my ugly truth

swinging face down from the sunshine

into the darkness I consume

so I send a swarm of blackness

laced with strobes of soundless plea

please know your time is dated

until the day I set you free....

The morning brought a sickness
The little one cried in pain
Taking her to a doctor
Was easily said than done
As the day progressed into noon
Troubles poured in twos
How the whole day passed
Couldn’t recall in this swoon
The run to the hospital 
And trouble from every nook
Seemed like life was not worth
Living nor could be left behind
For so many lives depended
On me to see they ran smoothly...
