Just think you should know after all of these years I'm still into you.
I still know, I'll never get in... Fortunately for you, 
Not interested in what girls are supposedly meant to do....

It was a long night
the defeated sleep late
winners race off somewhere
to be seen.
Fortunately we who watch,
learn how to shrug
with greater expression,
walk away.
Vote for silence now....

     Into racially charged environs
        burst cattlemen with branding irons

     Followed, fortunately, by squadcars' screaming sirens  
        Whew... Sure glad those were 'dry runs'...

Fell for his foolish failure to perform...

To a place unknown
Taken there simply
By the magic of your poem

I never wanted to leave
Fortunately, there will be many more
To journey and elude reality ….....

My poetry is rust.
Rhyme like a crime.
Like metal, you will weaken 
When you read this poetry.

Fortunately, rust cannot touch you.
For among women and men
And perhaps even among creation,
You are surely gold and golden....

Witty Founding Father Ben Franklin

Gave his contemporaries many a grin.

Although he wanted the turkey to be our national bird,

Fortunately John Adam’s “eagle” had the final word.

What April showers bring
Quite fortunately; many things
Flowers, allergies & docs
Birds bathing with their flock
Baby bugs & bees
Rebirth... On bare branches, now leaves
What April showers bring
Quite fortunately; many things...

This night is not too lonely,
this is the only life that is our.
The moon is not so lonely,
This world is as lonely as our.
How to speak now,
When not with a companion living.
There will be something to do with crying.
It's probably now that luck is ours....

In the coffee shop
A mistimed twist
By the barista
Caused a hissing
Coffee jet to
Ballista towards
My sister and I
Worried it would
Hit her wrist and
Give her a blister,
But fortunately
It missed her.

The manager scolded
The ham-fisted barista,
But since no-one was scalded,
He didn’t dismiss her....

Fortunately, our Lord,

in His infinite wisdom,
 
has given us only one tongue to express,

what our eyes and ears witness every day

for 

if He had given us two, multiple would 

have been the confusion generated in

this world!

It's 86 degrees, I'm sitting in the car waiting for my wife
A guy comes up and asks where my owner is, this could cost him his life
It can be looked on as homicide essentially
It definitely should be treated at least like a felony
Fortunately, my owner came back and avoided more strife...

AND WE SHALL CRUSH THE ENEMY INTO THE DUST, SOONER OR LATER
DEATH WILL BE SWIFT screamed the great orator
Once again the people listened to the leader of their nation
Life will be better for the German population
Fortunately it never happened

Insurrection
Terror
Life
Extermination

Here in the east
The rain is a beast...
Fortunately the flowers
Don't know and continue
To smile
and
Smile!
Chrysanthemums are
On parade
Why should they be afraid
Of heavy rains pouring down,
So what if all else drowns...
Autumn rain has come to stay
At least for one more day.
Rejoice!

Snow blizzard raging
Fortunately, I am home
Inside looking out!

~~~~~~~~~~~@@@~~~~~~~~~~~

Lightning now flashes
Fast streaks across the dark sky
Computer shuts down!

~~~~~~~~~~~@@@~~~~~~~~~~~

Winter chilled-wind blows
Gruesome sounds against my ears
Taxi! Taxi! Hey!

~~~~~~~~~~~@@@~~~~~~~~~~~...

You'll never know
This lonely hole
Where cold winds blow
My worthless soul
Or never hear
These falling tears
The silent cheers
When death comes near
Fortunately
To some degree
You'll never see
The pain in me
These things I feel
Try to conceal
They will not heal
But they are real

Never wanted to get to the point
Reasons are not deeds
In my rectangle window show
Amazing how after all the years looking through my eye balls
Why dont we see like circles
That rectangle prison that imprisons us all
Look left look right 
look up look down
and see the edges of our prisons
Fortunately im looking from the outside...

Fortunately I feel sense of 
dream,Which knocked think door
of beautiful natural world.

I feel dream like a rainbow 
scattering happiness between 
me and divine world and think
silence of dream is the small 
drop of the tears of eyes and 
which makes oceans of think.

He who likes my dream receives
best,he who dislike lost most...

Time stopped,
I did not,
grew in length,
breadth
and depth,
depth drilled like hell,
ripping in duties,
smashing in relations,
and leaving a load of burden,
I was more worried than free,
depreciation was faster,
and priorities changed,
I swelled,
gelled,
and swelled,
was about to burst,
fortunately stopped time lunged ahead....
