Humans are like fleas
On this planet of created breeze
Your eyes will never see 
The whole diameter of the earth' degree 
Unless you are walking on the moon periphery...

My monsters live under the bed, the five-year-old said.
I remembered those days, those nightmares.
Mine lived in the closet too, I told him.
His eyes grew eight inches in diameter.
Not the wisest move for a twelve-year-old babysitter....

Pi day 3:14
Irrational?
Maybe_ 
Circumference divided by diameter
Is a never ending number
Just like the universe is never ending its increase in size
Also, if I ate pie
Like I would love to eat pie
I would be Pi     ...

Oh divine universe ,

you,

that billions of years of light your diameter is,

in awe 

before your grandeur we stand, wondering:  

"How 

did the Lord,  your immensity,

within 

our mind's limits contained?"

Nevus, dysplastic
Less than fantastic
Asymmetric?
Center line trick
Irregular border
Suggests disorder
Highly colored?
It’s no dullard.
Diameter large?
Time to take charge!
Rapid evolution?
Seek a solution.
See your derm path
For that mole
Before his burrows
Take their toll....

We have come full circle!
Freedom from oppression equals 
corruption less deception.

The law of the land is zero!
Fraud and theft are over and above
pie to leave nothing!

The right to protest without violence
and freedom of education is none
from 27 to nought.

Death of peace plus an apology
has been deferred to 9×19mm casing
evidence lost at 20mm....

Though small its size it offers no resistance,
No matter it's diameter at given hour of day.
And should division come at your insistence,
A speck just gets smaller, never going away.

No matter its division, its start it retains,
Though diminishing beyond ability to see.
A remnant of that speck always remains,
If you don't behold it, can it no longer be?...

I know not of iambic pentameter,
I don’t even know my own diameter.
And when I travel about a mile,
I don’t know how much is a kilometer.

So I might be slightly confused,
About all those words, that I just used.
But when I think about other people’s folly,
Mine seem so trivial, and melon collie.

So when you’re confused, 
about what word to use,
Take a lesson from me, 
and look it up, in the dic tion ary....

Brought my baby chainsaw to my baby’s house
Attacked her giant limb grrr grrr grrr
It was at least twelve inches in diameter
I had to lean on my chainsaw a little
He growled his way though that limb nine times
The pieces were heavy, but we are mighty – my chainsaw and I
After I loaded them into my car I received a text from my man
“Don’t put the lumber in your car. I will pick it up this weekend.”
He was a few minutes too late....
