Why does Thanksgiving
Need a designated date?
Can’t we be thankful
For simple blessings daily?
Let us ponder on that thought.

The bus is full
except for a seat at the back
designated for minority dissenters,
free thinkers and libertarians.
A youth demands my seat,
I stare straight ahead.
The bus grinds through its gears
as passengers glare or sneer....

April sixth, nineteen-seventy-three
A-L pitchers became bat free

and the designated hitter was born
and those fans did eat a lot of popcorn

Ron Blomberg was the first
that started the thirst

for homeruns and extra bases
as fans showed their happy faces...

Those who are wonderful will be known
Those who are evil will be turned into stone
In the eyes of the King will determine who will rise
In the eyes of the enemy will determine who will die
For those who don't care won't understand
Until they reach their designated land...

Adorned by crimson attire
Fangs bared a woman skulks
her designated target 
engraved within her mind 
though the framework of her bones
ensnares the prey of which she seeks
the universal populace
she yearns to vitiate
by way of the libidinous tones
radiating from betwixt her lips...

Designated driver,
your road to end at last

The choice was yours, mistake inured,
your future now your past

Designated driver,
those high beams in your eyes

A haunting name, the lasting blame
—that night your dreams reprise

Showtime
Spontaneous combustion
Wow turnips in spring
Evolving
New leaf on life
Fall covers my eyes
My mind is blinded I cannot see
It's showtime
Everything's burning up
End of time
Humanities extinct

Toaster Bed
I’d like to buy a toaster bed,
of the boldest red.
 
Happily,
it would heat me up toasty hot
and butter my backside,
before projecting me out
of the bed and into the shower,
at a designated hour
each morning.
 
Where shall I place my order?
Bloomingdale’s
Or Neiman’s?...

SUSPENDED

immaculate
suspended
I move the
shattering
black in me

disturbing 
the grey
that runs
through pink
unsung lungs

bursting with
interior
resignation
insane
so step

D

    W
      N

I have found my
designated 
cloud for now

Warm night
   Cold day

Sleep light
   Work heavy

Hot dinner
   Cold drink

Eat light
   Drink heavy

One drink
   Feel fine

To many
   Drunk belligerence

Up late
  Much fun

Text message
   Driver designated

More drinks
   Sleeps mine

Wake up
   Dry mouth

All this
   Over & over...

They help us,
When we are down.
They make us stand up,
And go on...

They make us smile,
They bring us hope,
They give us comprehension,
Worth to trust...

They give us a reason,
They make us forget our darkness,
They enlighten us in harsh moments...

They are designated for our lives,
They profile our living,
They bring us to life......

BYE ERN

There once was a man from Bavaria
Whose actions could not be scarier
In the woods where he lurked
And at night where he worked
It was designated as a no-go area

But at heart he was a secretive guy 
Of ill repute, but couldn’t see why
All those songs that were sung
About him being well hung
From a tree in the woods so high

Nightingale’s sweet song
silenced in most of Britain
deforestation

In the last 50 years the population of Nightingales has fallen by 90% . The birds nest at ground level but  Medway Council in Kent have still designated an area at Lodge Hill where the birds breed to be suitable to build thousands of new houses:-(

La Tour Des Baleines

In Misses Halliday’s community,
A lighthouse steadily illuminates
That coastal location.  Containerships
Can safely navigate.  Supertankers
Can avoid incidents.  Superliners
Can protect passengers unfailingly.
This noble edifice, designated,
(From francais translated): “Tower-Of-Whales”.

The bright blue sky
Pokka dotted herself
with cotton field clouds;

Below, beautiful green leaves
of proud standing trees
complimented the scene.

Then the news flash came:
“School bombed! Students killed!”
“Suspect escapes!”

As if on cue,
white clouds darkened;
sky tears slowly fell;

Today, it seems as if schools
are daily becoming
designated killing fields....

Her words fuel my intoxicated brain
Like she already knew that I had a thing for words
And though I haven’t heard her angelic voice speak
I know it’s entrancing

Her essence is arousing
Stimulating my mind and body
Oh, my body
How I fiend for not just someone to hold it
But for it to be her

In this little time and space...

I have designated her with the niche of being my muse...

Henry never wanted to work in the castle of the king.
And he certainly did not want to be a jester, to joke or to sing.
He wanted to be a squire, but it was not to be unfortunately.
Every single night he was summoned to be the best he could be.
Tonight the piper had already been taken out with an “off with his head”.
Henry knew one misstep or unfunny joke, and he might possibly be dead....

deep in the colon of the forest
there is a designated honor tree
where an orange mushroom bouquet grows

if you luck upon it, you may find a leprechaun
Unicorns might prance into view
whatever you do, do not act startled

Act surprised, pleased, as if you knew they were there
For until you know they are there
You can never see any of it

The mushroom bouquet
the unicorns
or the leprechaun...

Summer's In Trenton


Driving through Trenton,

kids laugh and giggle,

as they play in the fountain

of water shooting high

into the air from the

fire hydrant.



Prostitutes

smile and wave at

us as we do a drive-by

through their 

designated stations.



Dancer's perform

to the rapper's beat

as we drive by

the row houses.



It's all alive

in Trenton

this summer....
