A two and a nine.
I would like to double down.
Give me something big.

From the echoes of raw hell
Doubling evil in the heat
Enlisting aggravation
Painful from within

If You have only a hundred dollars
Doubling that isn't so much.
But if you give it to a Broker
You just bought half his lunch....

LIFE

The road of life twists and coils
Occasionally doubling back on itself
Threaded through convoluted 
Tangles of happiness and pain...

iridescent rainbow clouds you simply defy description
reflected in the sea as easily as I am reflected in my mirror
doubling the joy of the day; taking my breath away...

Damn the nor’easter 
hold the wheel steady
Waves from the Kraken
over the bow
Darkness ahead
charts plot the demon
Into the fury
—doubling down

Siblant esses slyly sneaking
doubling your portion size
turning singular to plural
as you order beer and pies
so don't become at every meal
fat, like a snake that ate a wagon wheel...

The Piscean Age, at it's close,
Will overlapp, doubling the frequency,
..... as an Octave interval.
When this happens, a new Keynote is struck,
Then the beginning of a new World Age....

Doubling Cape Horn is live or die.
Waves as high as thirty meters
Mean as a Zulu’s assegai
Well known down there as hell greeters
We be seamen every last one
For us passage is good as done...

Only buy something
That’s sold at half-price
If you like it enough
To be paying that twice.

If that’s not the case
Then you’re wasting your cash
By doubling up
On a half-as-good stash....

Lately the devil has me in his despicable sights,
Things go well, then he sends an unpleasant plight.
So I’m doubling my prayers to throw him off track,
And let God be the one to get him off my back....

I’ve got the weight
Of the world of trouble
Doubling onto me
And taking over my conscience
I feel the trouble
And it hurts beyond
What I have in the world
It’s weighing on me
And the trouble is horrible
Completely surreal
Seemingly unreal
But very very true
Trouble is in my world

Could it be love when shadows overlap
Their beings blending, doubling to dark
Embracing tiled or terra cotta floor
Sliding silently as silhouettes of shame
Clinging to the still forbidden touch
Relishing the fevered heat of light
Cast upon this desperate aching need
To meld - a two so lonely - into one...

(Acrostic Haiku)

David's day's dine, drum
Atmosphere's admiration-
Visual's vastly view.

Indoor influence ink...
Doubling diet, desserts do date;
Duty draws design

Expanding earthly
Long life lasting lord's luxuries-
Let lungs love living.

Ace age apportioned,
Actualizing accolades
And act attributes....

I have two eyes,
But I am blind.
My two ears I use,
Doubling the silence.

I use big words,
To forget the small ones.
Remembering tiny detail,
To avoid the vagueness.

I create my confliction,
Since peace is so boring.
I believe it is so,
I believe it is not.

(I hear nothing)-
It is time again.
(I see nothing)-
Time to pretend....

Over the gleaming ice she skates,
Dressed in skates----that's all.
Leaning on back, so nice she skates,
Smooth and straight, can't fall.

Mirrored with sky she glides on by,
Doubling in naked blue;
Free in the flesh she glides on by,
Free in spirit, too.

Into the freezing air she glows,
Wearing the air, naught else.
Boldly alive in cold that grows
A flaming love of self....

Myself I am troubling
The stress level is doubling
Gastric juices are bubbling
My pancreas is rumbling

Life is turning
The stomach is churning
Forehead is burning
The inner life is yearning

Resources are shrinking
Friendships are stinking
Is life yet linking
Or is everything just sinking

Decisions are made
Plans have been laid
I think I am afraid
Life's been frayed...

A Tenured Friend
Written: by Tom Wright
December 2014

This week we summoned
To our home, a tenured friend,
Being shackled to need,

Her faith had given her hope
That in some heart, God,
Would plant a seed,

Being quite unaware 
That God, our hearts, of late 
Was troubling, 

Forthcoming temporary help,
Was counted by us, as seeing
Our blessings doubling,

OSPREY

On skies, you glared predator-proud talons and beak curved so
sharp as narrow-vision> focusing on doubling plenty to millions...

Prey abounded, you soared, till rivers faded to an unseen creep 
richly sipping of bounties seeping DDT, while in your high tower
eagles hawked tainted by death unaccounted, until eggs fragile
yielded cracks in their oval, speed-plummeting to cries of: why…?

two, four, eight, and more
sixteen, thirty-two, sixty-four
doubling, doubling
troubling, troubling

keep on going at least four more
you’ll find yourself at a thousand twenty-four
doubling, doubling
troubling, troubling

what if we go another four more
sixteen thousand three eighty-four
doubling, doubling
troubling, troubling

time to stop, just four more
two hundred sixty-two thousand one hundred forty-four
I’ll stop now, don’t want to bore
all have even numbers as their core...
