Short Dividends Poems

How can I repay this debt,
When all I owe is Life's regrets?
Such dividends I'll never spend-
The cost to just forget!...

The wealth of my feelings, I invested
In your love

And

Dividends of happiness, since then I
Receive!

One invests the wealth of his feelings in

True love

Certain it is to receive his dividends in

Happiness!

Today I’m thankful for letter writing
For there are few acts that pay more lasting dividends
Than taking the time to write to…
or opening up a letter from…
family and friends.

Markets are strong
as bridges crumble

Dividends fly
while highways collapse

Earnings per share
define false adoration

Gift wrapping burns
—on the last empty box

The Blue Princess Holly blooms
The Honeybees hum a tune
As they drink its nectar sweet
Springtime dividends a treat

The Red Wasp visits too
The nectar nourishes true
A pod of Blackbirds fly by
Like a school of fish in the sky____ ...

A little inconvenience now,
Pays dividends in the end,
On that you can depend,
Along with  an increasing chance for a longer existence.

A little inconvenience now,
Will open a window,
Though which friendships can grow,
Precluding a later lonely and sad existence....

Partial to a summer's day
Never left the winter's play

Foolish each and every walk
Never giving in to talk

Finally down on bended knee
He spoke only just to me;

Invest soul'ly in me my loving son,
Find your dividends multiplied a ton

Partial to a winter's pray
Never left the summer's day...

White frozen mist 'pon trees' bare limbs
Ice clings to leaveless branch
Limbs bend beneath the weight of cold
Fall to earth with a crunch

Winter's beauty cast its own spell
Snow glistens like diamonds
'Pon the stark silhouetted trees 
Rest snow for ice cream viands


Written after reading Russell's 
Crystallized Snow...

The lapdog is our friend
The laptop is our mend

There’s no end
We are trapped in a pen
Maybe this is a trend
We don’t need to spend
However, we need to pretend
We enjoy our weekend
Although it’s only a bitter end

When we’re at a loose end
Nobody wants to understand
Because they only care about the stock dividends
They are our internet's friends...

Each box holds its secret.
Old memories, dreams that died. 
The sum of every promise-
the dividends and sighs.

Paper, cloth, and pottery-
a postscript of our prime.
Wrapped in yellow newsprint-
the passing of our time.

Clutter from our passions
lay there dead in place.
While ties among the living
die somewhere else in space.

Nubs and dents and chips and strings
                 Imperfect world that burns and stings
Dings and scratches, holes and bends
                       Those flawed existence dividends


Cuts and bruises, broken bones
                            People that the world disowns
Paupers, cowards, plagues and kings
                          Imperfect world of many things...

As the fog rises from the creek
And the sun peeks through clouds
Amber needles drop from the pines
Roosters crow very proud

There's a feeble attempt of the sun
To give a shining glow
Against a backdrop of cobalt
As thick clouds slowly flow

Sunlight peeks swiftly through the clouds
Dew sparkles like diamonds
A short reflection of the sun
Morn's deluxe dividend  ...

Inclined

The movement of madness,

The selfishness of desire,

Who is higher ? Who is fire ?

Broken ascents,

Non-existent dividends,

Where is laughter ? Where is water ?

Deformed misinformation,

Dematerialized ambition,

What is sin ? What is wind ?

Transcendental realignment,

An ages long assignment,

Which is worth ? Which is earth ?

The skaters glide across the ice,
Perform a triple axel, twice!
But sometimes fall and pay the price;
I don’t know how they do it.

For if a slip is somehow made,
Perhaps by tripping on a blade,
A beaming face is still displayed
As if they never knew it.

Until the point the music ends
When each performer comprehends
He’ll earn no medal dividends
Because he somehow blew it....

Her love keeps me up at night
Her love means I am never right
Her love makes me get into fights
Her love is a sweet delight

Her love how do I begin
Her love all I want to win
Her love often as I can
Her love has reward dividends

Her love naughty and nice
Her love better when twice
Her love puts player on ice
Her love ends in showers of rice

Her love and baby makes three
Her love we are a happy family
Her love is all I need
Her love got the best of me...

For me, 
it's when 
I pause from
crying
because I hear
laughing.
The weed and the
flower
both give
oxygenated
power
Both sustain.
Beauty and pain
When we rise;
when we fall,
when storms
come and remove
our bedrock
Life still pays
dividends
with mineral deposits
and adds stock
with spiritual
significance.
A touch of sun
evaporates a lot of rain.
Whether once removed
or family added to
Life goes on
and his beat
will be something
we can ride to...

A quiet day is Christmas,
When many take a break
From working, shopping, stressing;
Not relaxing’s a mistake.

Just hanging ‘round the house is great
Or visiting with friends.
No matter if you celebrate,
You reap the dividends.

The leading-up-to frenzy’s gone;
The gifts have been exchanged
And plans for year-end parties
Have been settled and arranged.

I live within the city,
Where quiet’s not the norm,
But on this day I like to watch
My neighborhood transform....
