An Angry Man
A man in a terrible dither
was yelling both hither and thither.
He cursed all his brothers
his sisters and others
and then cussed his father an mither....

I Fall
I fall and I fall
And each time I get up
I fall again
To the hole I dither in
And the higher I aim
The lower I descend
Till I fall once more
And never fall again...

Wildlife 37
A kingfisher was all of a dither,
When he first saw thick ice on the river'
He cried "Golly-Gee!"
As he dived off a tree
But the impact made every bone quiver...

Peaceful Riverside
If you feel all of a dither
Go and sit quietly by a river
Take a book and a tipple
Listen to the river ripple
Take a sip and a peaceful read
You may find this is all you need...

Square Golf Ball
If ever a golf ball were to be square
It would dither, neither go here nor there
Lofted shots it will resist
Putts, it may surely assist
New Golf rules too, difficult to declare.

Thou Hast a Heart O Silver
Heart o Silver, doth thou dither?
About the stars, or planets blither?
O grateful gods, become so weary,
Heart o silver, hast left thee teary.
Glaciated by wind and storm,
Nevermore, thy heart be warm....

Fall Leaves - Footle
Fall leaves
in eaves
a breeze
now seize
away
they sway
drifting
shifting
up down
around
dancing
prancing
then lay
and stay
dither
wither
wrinkle
crinkle
decay

Indecision
I'm flexible by indecision,
Nothing came to fruition,
I'm really quite a dither,
In verse I do blither,
Still, I'll finish this book,
Hope readers take a look,
What to write next? I ask,
Ah, decisions, that's my task!...

Freedom
Like ashes to ashes
Or the crushed wings of a moth
My body will wither
Will turn into dust
My soul, worn and tattered
Shall never be shattered
Will shine through the rust
Won’t waver or dither
To break free of all its cloth
It dashes, it dashes...

Spectators At a Fire
what is there about a fire-
like a summons calling hither
draws us ever onward-
in a lather or a dither?
what can it be-
that leads us forthright
such as millers to a porchlight?
tell me what it is-
that tantalizes,mesmerizes
what's so cool about a fire?...

Aren'T We
In a dither for a dollar
Monies are being squandered
The pox is upon us
Taxes are ponderous
Stuffed shirts are foolish
Peace yet eluded us
The world gets Denuded.
We're living in the space age
Can't eliminate war and hate.
These hard truths we face
We are a better human race.
Are'nt We.?...

Carols On Easter
Dither and don't
Wither and won't
Slither away
Pawns dismay
Carols sung on Easter morning
Blasting the cold away
Rustic pieces found daunting
Carries night into day
Won't open the terror door
It seems to squeak a little
You hate but wanting more
Easy with cork in bottle
Errors made
Terrors hated
Rumors abated
Time slated

everyday
everyday is fresh and new
chase away yesterdays blues
everyday is a way to begin
tomorrow is like a new friend
everyday life is getting better
now not time to dither
everyday she loves you more
things are great her you adore
everyday is good to you
everyday is good for you
everyday is glad to be alive
everyday is glad to be alive...

Chops of Insanity
In the mid summer hues
Oh in the Kingdom of thee
Pillars of lust so lofty
Dither boneless men like bees
Only to mesmerise the seer
For its beauty & valhallain
A fine glass of amethyst
Toped to its impious brim
With a prime vermouth
Titillated with placid fervours
Vexed in secular cravings
Fellated into an ebullience
Oh shrivel mankind...

Emotions
Emotions up and down,
spinning out of control,
light headedness,
fuzziness,
all of a dither,
my mind can't deliver,
such emotive thoughts.
Try to shut away in a box in my head,
they are not in charge of me,
I am in charge of them,
keeping busy is the answer,
for a mediocre happy ever after,
pretty thoughts of a life after,
but for now, living for the day I can live the life i'm after....

Ballad
The Beach - an excerpt
Vivere est militare,
Lord, He, Almighty, ever gentle.
Thou, please, speak with thee.
Tell not the ineffable glory.
Beg thee to sing, to color,
To forbid, crestfallen can't be.
Aid thee, I dither long, too far.
Bury thy tenacious folk
Under the meadows and the beach.
Allow the waves wash this blood,
And may the sand, with anger,
Carry the dead and thy debt.

Summer Rispetto
No more school books ‘cause summertime is hither.
Happy children are playing - school is finished;
sandlot baseball in summer such a dither;
free unhindering time is not diminished.
People going on trips to sunny seashore;
easy living in summer what we long for.
Ever wanting warm weather gives us reason;
always dreaming of life in summer season.

Pallete
I've been holding you for quite some time now
Mixing pigments that I don't know how.
I've been adding up set of colors like there's no tomorrow
For it's gonna be field with full of sorrow.
I've been trying not to dither
'Cause it's all for the better.
And now it's almost done,
I don't want to see my painting's gone.
So I'll let you lay
With a trace of stain today
For I'm gonna stay....

Up But Down-Part3
Up but down…part-3
In my errand for a fill of
Hilly air, I can’t forget its
Kicking present, its woes and ills
Carrying that down-to- earth ache
To sooth which I run up and down
While the days worryless and dour
Don’t dither in their flow. And I
Turn to musing on these hills
Long after my bus had belted
Down its narrow, winding slopes
Tearing away its dry and shy
But superbly high-flying air...

Narrative
Nibbled
Crawling creeping beetles nibble
scatter dither wind and wither
whether chew my mind and sweetly eat
or wittle holes in words I blather blithered incomplete
three thirds are hurled and rained and voided
annoyed I stew swear screamed "Destroy it!"
flung high a roar voraciously clear
heard words tremble dismember retreat with fear
Empty echos reach for letters
devours silence
belches beaks and feathes...

Copla Sesenta This Bad Guy World
COPLA SESENTA: This Bad Guy World
Bad Guys bully to boost pleasure
Assure themselves of their meanness:
Just to keep trim
Not minding own onions’ lure
Makes them feel insecure bone-less:
Who’s the victim
Good Guys keep wond’ring what to do
Defend attack or simply wait:
No choice cower
The longer they wait in limbo
They’ll find fighting back far too late:
Choose don’t dither
