No roadkill!
Cook the food
No fireballs dude!
Then eat what you will...

If your brain's causing you strain
And you want to flow your poetry again,
Then stop going to your taxidermist 
And you will fire up your furnace,
I really think he's stuffing up you brain....

Patriotism and Holidays seem to go hand-in-hand
Fire up the BBQ; strike up the brass band

  Picnics down by the lakeside; it's all mighty grand
  Though I'd rather be known for my love of this land...

Before the winter winds glaze over thought and need 
we fire up the window, with Hopes and even seed 
while Autumn brushes in with a hint of frost and go 
we long for tinsel moments, of love and after glow....

The
Day that
I can’t have
You is so very
Hard to do just things
I feel like a zombie dead
Since my head is not all there
And body is hanging somewhere else
I just can't live like this, I need you!
You fire up my senses when I drink of you!...

The sun rises
  the stars give way
The dew glistens
  on the meadow, in the hay

Lovers posed, still
  in each others' arms
Tenderly mothers gaze, at
  at babe's resting charms 

'Till factory whistles blow
  machines fire up
As our planet reaches
  for its coffee cup...

Hunger, gelid, frigid, no nighty,
In a long coldly winter night,
Needy for a so big woodpile 
In dark, solo I had to chop
Details are good chop --
sticks chum pal up --
marks  choc-ice !!!
Choppy choosy !! 
Wood not woo !
Cook not coo !
Warming,
fire up,  
heat,
fill,

Sun seeking sunflowers' stalks stand stylishly sleek
Bite birds, butterflies on beat before blazing blooms
Farm fields fire-up framing fascinating flourish
Gushing green grass giggle with girlish gaiety
Still soil sings soulful song to silent seeping saps
Reaper respectfully rallies with rapt rapture....

Time to pull off the coats
Push the heavy suits to the back
Open the windows and turn off the heat
Sprint time is here, fire up the grill
Sit on the deck, enjoy and chill
Listen to the birds as they conversate and sing
Time for light colors and showing off the bling
Turn up the c-d, it's time for spring...

"Eyedrops from Heaven"
   his first rock band
"Shellfish over Easy"
   blew a one-night stand

"Impotent Conundrums"
   limp as asparagus
"Cratering Stegosaurus"
   couldn't fire up any lyrics...

Many years have passed
  and the old Rocker's gone soft
His new girlfriend's Maude Lynne
  ~ They toke up, sneeze and cough...

I'm back;
Self love is in the air;
Fire up now I'm on track;
Boy test me if you dare 
but I found that life hack;

Shining.
inner light with no bounds;
That's what you see lifting
me into the storm clouds;
Any doubts left dying;

Inside
I have faltered before;
Uncontrollable tide
raging inside my core;
Never again backslide....

No wind to blow over cups and plates
   No blistering sun to burn foreheads or napes
No ominous storm clouds roaming the sky
   No ants to spoil salads, steaks or pie

Welcome to our sunny indoor barbeque
   Where the elements outside are always subdued
Fire up the grill on the heated porch ~ AND
   Bring on the good times in climate-control land...

Now it's May...as in 'Month Merry'
We look outside and see it's very
Bright and warm and dry and can
With confidence those flights we'll plan!

We'll dust off winders, and wind rubber
Or fire up engines too long dormant
Props then will throw air in torrents
So our builds go up and forward!

Young birdlings will soon fledge and fly
Our builds will join them in the sky!...

Dragons of despair and desolate
Spoil. You slay them over and over,
dying daily;  resurrecting hourly.
Fire up as you fall down, none of your 
Dragons can see you.

If you don’t like them, you should leave them alone.
Stay out so they can’t come in to. Stay out too long and you
lose your way in. Your dragons of despair really don’t care.

We laughed so long and so loud
Our only witnesses were the clouds
You jumped up and shouted, Yes!
That was you, at your best

We thought you had snagged a bass
It could have been a whale
That brim was so tiny
In unison, we all fell

Thinking back on that time
Finding this beautiful treasure trove
Good thing we caught four brims today
We can now fire up the stove

summer is coming
Schooldays are all but over 
the bells will stop ringing soon. 
the children will be yelling all day long as they play. 
summer is coming 
hot dogs and swimming 
baseball and hamburgers 
as the days get hotter. 
summer is coming 
fire up the RV for that camping trip. 
to the water park we must go. 
bike riding and horseshoes 
bake bean and ice cream cones. 
summer is coming 
when will school start again??...

Power down the device
  Fire up your pencil and eraser
The act of writing intimate once again
  A cozy booth for two in a candlelit café

Pressure to produce ebbs away
  Like the tide retreating from the shoreline
Thoughts flit in and out of consciousness
  Butterflies emerging from their cocoons

Contests, prizes, glory all pale 
beside the discovery that is yours --
  As you grip your pencil
  The machine loosens its grip on you...

Sizzling summer kisses fire up the heat
Until lovers merge both body and soul,
Neither one wanting to live life alone.
Falling in love, two hearts meld into one
Love, one dream, one wish, one hope, and one soul. 
Ode to sunflowers in bloom, desire sets 
Wild sensual whispers upon the wind, 
Each silent word morphing into a sigh
Romping in the meadows of summer's green.

E-arly Tuesday morning, 
R-ise of the sun has begun; 
N-ew dawn sixth December
I-s bringing some fun.
E-vening cold chill Monday
J-oins the rain in the night; 
O-ne beacon has come out, 
Y-our eyes see the light.

D-on't let the darkness
O-bliterate the bright sky; 
L-et the burning flame
I-ntensify the fire up high.
E-ver nice day has broken, 
N-ever mind yesterday's mist; 
T-he haze and fog are gone, 
E-vading the birthday bliss....

Fire up the grill ~ let's all eat
Dad's steak now well done
Hot dogs for doggy and me
Granny potatoes
Mom veggies with salt
Say blessing
Eat

My rainbow's on fire up in the sky,
The flames are emotional pain.
The colours of hurt fall in a storm,
Fall in a colourful rain.

And her thunder sips coffee in a future of doubt,
A future of quiet torment.
The stallion, the bull's now a broken down dog,
The grand piano just got up and went.

Deep down I know my hurricane of love,
Won't kiss the harp that it once knew.
My bandit of love has ridden away,
Leaving my rainbow a shadow of blue....

Assuring warm presence of God
delights my soul in prayer fellowship
ignited by glowing compassion
the Holy Spirit exudes with sweet bliss...
Revival embers toward praise-driven worship 
fire up my heart with pardon’s peace*
to share midst the Lord's reigning security.

*Philippians 4:7  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
