ready to explode to shoot
but fizzle in the throat...

Hey diddle diddle, really need to piddle
Aim for the cat, hit her right in the middle
Sometimes I miss
My cat she does hiss
Our long lasting friendship has started to fizzle...

Hey diddle diddle, need to piddle
Aimed for the cat, hit her right in the twiddle
Sometimes I miss
My cat she does hiss
Our long lasting friendship has started to fizzle

A cup of coffee,
And a moonpie,
A muffin fluffy
I just has to buy,

A cheezy burger,
And homemade fries,
A fizzle squirter,
Got in my eyes,

Mashed potatos,
Steak on rye, 
With tomatoe,
And ice cream pie....

floating on water
red sun's come down to the sea
blue waves in motion

shimmer and shine dusk
and stars are racing the moon
beyond fiery skies

as the hour grows late
the smoky drapes also fall
full of bright embers...

You have to admit, the future's looking bright
- with corona seeming to fizzle out a bit, with
cryptocurrency, the metaverse and the futuristic,
kiss-your-sister quality of lab-grown meat to
save the planet - yep, things are looking up....

When in doubt,
Don't brain storm out,
Because  there is a way out,
Don't fizzle out,
But be smart with all your plight,
 The best choice comes in one heart,
Yahweh is d way out,
So be of one mind,
The best comes in great pieces,
Fear is a cage holder,
GOD is the doubt breaker....

when we would guzzle 
great and astounding puzzle
was sure to fizzle

solution resolved
around answer revolved
while we were involved

about abortion
always out of proportion
also distortion

had been a dump cluck
when we became put of luck
out steering wheel stuck...

I have now - 
I had then
But that's an old tale of sorrow.
Let's go and have a drink.
My self-esteem has been hurt
and nothing but medicine will fix it.
I alone am to blame.
You, regarding me as a local nuisance,
You just laugh
I just fizzle out.
I don't see the humour....

"Razzle, Dazzle Doo
Why are you blue?"

"Fizzle, Dizzle Loo
"I think I love you." 

"You do?"
 "Yeah I do?"

" There's no need to be sad,
you should be quite glad. ``

"Bizzle, Rizzle Doo
I'm no longer blue."

"Bazzle, Razzle Doo
I love you too.

To my future love,
 one word is all I need 
too many are spoken falsely
 too many so sudden 
then fizzle to an end
Pity me 
from one to another
I shall only give 
when a man gives in return 
But alas 
the sky is luckier 
then I 
when the dark 
finds his beautiful sphere of love
His Wife...

This is what life’s all about:
We barrel in and totter out.

Along the way, we smile or pout
And try our best to conquer doubt.

We may be rebels or devout,
Remain unnoticed or have clout,

Yet we survive, in flood or drought,
Our whispers rising to a shout

As we fight in our final bout;
Then, like a candle, fizzle out....

Sheiks and Sultans kingdom's revolt
Citizens ire and fervour a shocking jolt
Unleashing coffers, promising change they molt
While cleansing their streets with rifle and Colt

Western pots fizzle and stew
Chafing but swallowing the spicy brew
Heartburn follows; the potion they slowly chew
The side effects their sensitive systems do rue...

Fireworks
over the dark ocean
wake me from black waves
to a circus in the sky
popcorn in the air
so many rings explode
lion’s mane
master’s cape
trapeze artists’ wide display
twirling clowns 
fizzle down
everybody cheers
and when it’s done
and crowds move on
the ocean laps my ear.

From fireworks to fizzle,
so went our love,
now it's good morning, goodnight,
without a hug.

Existing in harmony,
one day at a time,
you have your space,
and I have mine.

The house is full,
of nothing at all,
but no one notices,
all the bare walls.

Another day ends,
and to dreamland we go,
to awaken the fireworks,
that each misses so....

BROKEN TELESCOPE

Hung
from mouth
hitched to
Heaven by
this sleek steel 
blade bungee
jumping
over rooftops
apocalyptic
vapors of gas
fizzle and 
spout



Hung
broken 
telescope
stars have fallen 
from dark sky
floored
they lay where
I have no doubt
one by one they
will flicker
out

The crickets chirping,
With the moon fully risen.

I stretch out my legs,
Reach down for my keg.

Curl into my blanket,
As tight as I can make it.

Scent of of freshly cut grass,
This day went pretty fast.

You can hear a drizzle,
The rain starting to fizzle.

Dog by my side,
Standing with all his pride.

Time to go inside,
But it's such a beautiful night......

The cold night is awoken and warmed 
A family of excitement ready to release their arsenal
Stored under the stairs until the big night
Let the show begin:
Traffic lights – whoosh colour changing
Rockets – whoosh bang screeching
Jack in the box – whoosh bang-jumping
Sparklers – whoosh fizzle-sparkling
Catherine Wheel – whoosh dizzy-spinning
The big one at the end...

I’m here at home
But I don’t care
‘Cause I don’t wanna
Leave the air.

The sun beats down;
The temps are high.
To venture out?
No reason why.

I’m reading books;
I’m potting plants.
Think I’ll get bored?
No, not a chance.

My closets wait
For me to clean.
A crossword’s in
The magazine.

Tomorrow heat
Will fizzle out;
Then I will leave,
Without a doubt....
