black Friday
so long have detested you
traffic and shoppers
fighting over a cheap purse. . .
lost car in the parking lot...

Diagonal Dory lived on an incline
She detested hearts, circles or a straight line.
Her name was perfect, exceptionally fine.
She served all of her food in a zigzag line....

Our new doggie was abused for years
By her previous owners disgusting to hear
Should be arrested
For this act detested
Placed behind bars plus a kick in the rear...

Leland was not old
However, he was set in his ways
Cantankerous and vinegarish
Most nights and most days
Let’s set him up with Mable, I suggested.
She was another human that I detested....

Detested and Suggested

Trump's election by everyone  was detested;
We had heard that many of them suggested,
A total loser;
Woman abuser;
For his campaign violations must be arrested.

He married a lady he could not keep,
she in turn detested the guy she could keep.
And both stared at fate,
refusing to arrange life's love puzzle,
because the word 'sorry'
went on vacation.

I detested poetry at school; it was dull and boring,
Everything changed when my husband got cancer, I began to write …
This year I’ve published my first poetry book - it won’t be my last!

By Trump Been Bested

By Trump, we all have been bested,
Then opponents him  they detested;
Like newborn nascent,
And very complacent;
After each of his sins he had rested.

Carolyn, How about this one?...

A part of her detested the sun
And longed for the night 

While the other part 
Loathed the moon
And craved the daylight

Though both sides of her 
Were drastically different 

Each craved for a lamp 
In the sky 
Dark or bright...

There's no way in my heart again
And so many pieces to mend

You woke me as im sleeping by
And left with a wink of an eye

How unforgiving wake it was
To be fooled by a pride of guts

Packs of lie in love detested
Lots of love are all forfeited

You return never to my life
The real and fake are on a strife...

There I was lost in her gaze
Pretty brown eyes with the most beautiful face
Eyes so beautiful they gave a bright shine
I was content with them being just mine
But when they gazed away I felt very distraught
I traveled alone with a broken heart
Time flew by and I detested myself
because her gaze now looked upon someone else......

Statues crumbling

One after another
Representing a history
Now detested..crumble..
Crumbling before forces 
Of systemic purging..
These symbols of ego
Rising in past eras
Are seen in their 
Disregard for what
Is most valuable in
What We are in this
Moment..We ask:
Should all
Statues of persons
Be allowed to fade..
Allowing the fires we see
To consume the vestiges
Of glorified separation...?...

When someone -
let us call him he -
commits stuff that
you do not agree with;

when someone -
er, he -
is the one you love
but cannot tolerate;

when someone -
whom you quite love -
is detested, by you,
but, well, is indulged a little;

is still the someone -
whom you detest but put up with -
who continues to be
a revered part of your life;

will someone -
the one you love -
remain, continue,
and mourn bitterly now you have died?
