Trump helping himself has been doing,
And wonder what we will be ensuing;
Stock market poor;
Falling forevermore;
Up more bad news has been brewing.

Sky murky
A biting wind blows furiously
Swirling about ghostly
Whistling against the extremity
As dark clouds show
With drifts through
Begin to form anew

Viewing Him Doing

An article about Trump we were viewing;
He was bragging about his wrong doing;
Likes to touch;
Does it much;
More sexual misconduct will be ensuing.

Now is the time
but there’s nothing I can do.
Something is lost, the upshot
of trying hard to chase the gold.
And the ensuing confusion
rattles me on the borderline
with a cursing cold....

Reviewing and Ensuing

Here is what we need to start doing
With all the problems we are ensuing, 
When we may be in a big bind,
Start reviewing what is on our mind
Change way we look and are viewing.

Death of a marriage 
Impacts a family, divides a house;
Very stressful experience, no doubt.
Once happy state of a union now 
Reduced to a heap of rubble;
Children caught in the middle of 
Ensuing war between Mom and Dad....

The layman will ask…
  always questioning what

The poet observes…
  always adding a why

The universe inhales
  within the difference

And with each ensuing breath,
—new verse begins

GOUT
Miracle Man
4/22/2024

Once, prescribed Med’s Tom had ran without,
The ensuing pain caused him to near shout,
Driving him insane,
Was endless foot pain,
Brought on by a painful condition called Gout.

My life, a leaf dropping in the rain,
A leap of faith i need to take,
My life at stake & ensuing pain,
Down the road of life, but what lane?
I live on my own body mind & soul,
What's left to be attoned?
What will happen when I'm alone?
How do i go down this road?...

Laws Are Never Forbidden

Laws should be followed none are forbidden;
And not for long have our cats been hidden;
Purring and meowing,
We were ensuing;
Time for disaster in box they are kidding. 

Jim Horn

Our cats are always straight shooters
never doing anything wrong....

What count is not the best living but the most living
No longer bounded by hope for a better future or eternity,
Pursue not life’s meaning nor run amuck fantasy weaving
Reach a state of contented acceptance and the ensuing serenity.

Nothing occurred before
nor after this time
of a streetlamp burning
on avenues untraveled

At the heart of my question
is the thing I die to ask
too much for my tongue
far too often timid

If one minute the world is cruel
only to warrant ennui
the ensuing is absurd
familiar as an old joke...

If thy head would touch, but one unfold,
unto my thought, not hold -
as when God's will is only fled, not told.

Could I but rest, on any spot called worth,
ensuing from a time of trailsome birth?

That will of mine, in you -
all love, and no more earth,
is Heaven's mode of calling, known as girth!...

Travel the path of life's familiar roads
navigated by generations
previously amazed by that path

The dimensions have changed
their direction remains not
its diversity is immense
with a destiny sustained

Ensuing the journey home
may guide or cast us astray
most will follow where their hearts lead
and others will never roam...

I believe it's the inner child in me
that lives through my kids vicariously.

When they settle down for a cartoon
I eagerly anticipate the lead buffoon.

From Patrick to Dee Dee to Cosmo the fairy
the ensuing silliness makes me quite merry.

So, here's to all the sweet, colorful twits
that send me off to joyful, endless laughing fits....

Severing the attachment, 
Desperate to liberate myself from self imprisonment,

Each Separation ensuing with agony,
Feeling as my own worst enemy,

Further and further I tear,
Seeking the long sought relief but it becomes to much to bear,

Allowing the mold to feel anew, 
Leaving me in a state of subdue,

Almost craving the need to illustrate  some emotion...

Why life begins with a deep cry,
And not quietly on the very sly,
What is nature’s game?

If beginning is wrought with pain,
Even before life’s ensuing strain,
Who should take blame?

If we were all born in good cheer,
And life progressed without fear,
Wouldn’t it still be same?

The precious pearl adorning neck
of haughty lady grand,
began as a sharp irritant,
a minute grain of sand.

The mollusk doomed to carry it
through the ensuing  years
released liquid to ease the pain.
It's been called "lady's tears".

Seldom does she remember that
poor oyster and his tasks.
She sits in reflected beauty
and in pearl's glory basks.

EARTH
                   
       Ensuing diversity of Nature in plenitude
       Amazing assets preserved in Atmosphere, Landmass and Aqua flow.
       Rolling, recycling Natural resources
      Transforming, transcending species on evolution.
       Hospitable habitat: The only Solar Planet.

Summary of My First Day of Spring 
or Shortest Poem I Ever Wrote
Think More Time I Should Devote?

First day of spring did start ensuing;
Now many new things had to be doing;
Took shower after body took a beating
And ended up in Landscape Meeting.

That is how it was and what happened.
Used category of bereavement for my 
body and Spring for the rest of it.

She was like one taking to air on a wing,
Ensuing years cried out, show us your face.
As we languished behind feeling time's sting,
Zephyrs were carrying her from place to place.

The wind constantly whispered to us her name,
Periodically it seemed to appear as a gust.
And many years later our prayers answer came,
Because for her, in God, we'd placed our trust.


Shirlene was lost to us for many years....

Regrets

Antagonisms perceived
Leave us aggrieved
Hearts broken
Tender spirits token

Words miss-read
Actions miss-lead
Clamors in the night
Pleading miss-sight

Sides taken
Lines shaken
Blindness bodes
Heavier loads

Rashness steps
Action’s regrets
Unthinking eyes
When misery cries

Matters adrift
Sieve and sift
Love enduring
Pardons ensuing

Antagonisms perceived
Leave us aggrieved
Hearts broken
Tender spirits token...

A cyclone and a whirlwind,
        a twister of a typhoon;
        capricious, turbulent,
        winds mighty and destructive.

          After a calming cool
    ensuing gentle breeze,
now softly blowing on your skin;
easing the weary mind and
soothing the perplexed soul.

    Time now brings all things restored.
    God's faithful abatement covenant,
           seen while feeling the afterwards breeze....

The veil is rising 

Easing off 
my fear strained face,
it catches 
on crystalized tears,
pulling away 
I bath in liberty

The first airless void
stills all movement,
abandon was never 
nameless, faceless 

No longer condemned 
sliding towards the light,
I take in my first breath 
free of regret and torment 

In the ensuing minutes
infinitesimal beauty
takes my breath again 
as I exhale my first sigh......
