had come to me earlier
Much less than I settled for
—still more than I deserved

Which is earlier between the crack of dawn and the break of dawn
Because I want to wake up to the blessing before it's gone

should have left it earlier
and left alone
those with hair much curlier

He said he will wait to his last breath. He did so and got miserable death, who knows whether his demise came earlier or died because of her... still mystery.

Drifting
on a stream,
drawn by the tide-
secure within my hell..

Oh, Temperance,
How many evils, would we have avoided,
Had
Earlier, your wise counseling
Heard!

God's grace
A precious gift
From a loving Father
Unearned, undeserved, unending
Awesome!

Once again we find the holidays upon us
Earlier and earlier we simply confess
Thanksgiving's not here
Retailers do sneer
Such is the life of commercial excess

In Moscow’s sewers earlier today
An urgent plot was hatched without delay
On his porcelain throne
Up Vlad’s rear flew a drone
And blew poor Putin’s butt far away

Sun recedes earlier each day as fall gives way to winter.
Vibrant colors of my favorite trees recede in sympathy.
Death of light and color usher in the cold grays of darkness.

Hear the weather
upon the roof,
Winter is a'coming:
As landscapes
drowse
Autumn arrives
on the wind:
Wardrobes are
ransacked,
thermostats
turn red-
so earlier to bed

Neglige' i bought earlier
Inspired my creative
Genius for
Hot and steamy, yet
Tasteless strip show
Cognac with our meal
Along with lingerie, spark such
Playful moods..

Toddler training
In the
Game of golf.
Earlier than the average bear.
Ran onto the stage at four
With a golf club made
Only for little cubs.
One of a kind
Destined to become
Snead in spades.

Saw a FANTASTIC RAINBOW earlier today
Nature's glory shining forth in great array
The spectrum of colour
A spectacle like no other
Against a dark sky, a brilliant visual to survey

Off
The coast
Of Maui
The northern whales
Migrate to the shores
To sun and raise
Their newborns
Earlier

Chilled air swirling ‘round,
Snowflakes pirouetting down,
Fireplaces giving warmth-
Horn of plenty full,
Stuffed turkey and pumpkin pie,
Memories in the making-

of rape and shame
now her perfume’s gone
fresh compost came to reclaim
then a bud appeared
earlier than expected
should mulch propagate his name

A golden leaf, silently falling
Returning to earth that created it earlier
Gently... slowly... breezily 'tis transported
Landing humbly on its side, bowing, submitting
Its end has arrived, it demurely relinquishes

Winter has arrived with a vengeance up north
Seems earlier each year a new climate has morphed
Here's what I say to that
Shove it down your hatch
Cold weather and yours truly have officially divorced

Scrumdiddlyumptious is a term that takes me back
To a simpler time, to an earlier version of Jack
Who believed in Santa Claus
At non-believers, I scoffed
It made me feel warm as a scrumdiddlyumptiousiac

How many remember ye ole gramophone players
Music from an earlier time, such melody makers
We had to place the needle
Tween the grooves to play The Beatles
What a joyous era for those movers and shakers
