she hurt me
some would garner allies
not me; I explain it only to her
it is between the two of us
does she believe my sincerity?
not my problem....

three doves carrying signs
without reading them I knew they said
hope, peace, love

Doped up on
Your emotional rollercoaster
Tripped out on
All that you have to offer
Bouncing off of
The ceiling
And your personality
Hoping to garner
What is left of me...

Let youth perform and garner the applause
  You opt out w'th a grandfather clause...

From finite
Garner nostalgia
From olden days;
Golden rays,
Green boughs,
Soft meadows,
Stars reflecting hope.
The elder watched
The constellations,
Shaping and re-shaping....

The ties of time and tide bestride 
the man who is defined by

and keeps a happy heart
will garner more good will 
than over-planning ever could provide....

Mind trap wanderings
davenport differentials

Go gather the gifted! It rang
Groan where they hang
Gather where they greet in slang
Gag the one with a fang
Guard against the acute pang
Garner strength for a big bang
Give to the gorgeous gang...
Graciously they all sang....

White walls are bland,
Generic coloring without style.
They have no dash or daring do,
People plaster them with posters and pictures.
White walls garner no comment,
Except when they have flaws.

Is that why nice guys finish last?...

Gothic creatures of old
  gaze down from their ledges 
    glaring at unseen threats.
       Grotesque legends of stone
    garner my attention 
  garish symbols ward off
ghoulish evil demons.

So first I will garner needed good deeds and earn my salvation
then I would just play possum for a while and hoodwink death.

had the chance once again to go far,

but her most recent gaffe

didn’t garner one laugh,

and her sitcom might get a new star!

Who did plod through the fresh laid sod
What plunderous rogue could be so treacherous
When did the fresh, bright mane garner brackish stain
Where did the stealthy herbivore dump digested core
Why did that silly hare his gastronomical fare share...

Centralized flowers
Coming to me middle spring
They need one specific thing
Garner all their strength
Inside my greatest flower

We do nothing and yet we feel
the third eye and our crown entwine;
rapturous joy that holds appeal,
that makes our soul on earth divine.

Vibrant emptiness paves the way,
to garner bliss that’s here to stay,
day after day, transforming form,
in benign currents, cool and warm....

Making void centric our soul’s stance,
prioritising God-connect,
bliss beats rise and nodes within dance,
tempestuous, wild and unchecked.

Once we become empty and pure,
in staid stillness, fate quirks endure,
granting throb of love right of way,
we garner bliss that’s here to stay....

Unless we know, we will falter,
just when we are at the altar.
Garner wisdom in stillness slow;
we will falter, unless we know.

We will falter, unless we know,
so best we let God’s grace endow.
How may our dark fate we alter?
Unless we know, we will falter.

There are those who wish upon a star
to garner fame and fortune,
I wish that I could grab a bunch, 
a boon for my beloved,
directly from the shimmering night sky.

I would place some in her hair
and others at her feet,
the largest star to win her heart,
a mark of my devotion,
for the girl I hope to meet!...

I’m not a fan of censorship
But there should be no risk
When writing of a body part
To use an asterisk.

When not used as a swear-word,
Which might garner a tsk-tsk,
A mention of a tush should not
Require an asterisk.

We’re grown-ups here and therefore
Criticism should be brisk
When chosen words are censored:
Shove it up your asterisk!...

The "Rhymers" guild; archaic faction,
We garner all the more detraction
Less, are we, in our attraction
More, we are, the poetic infraction

When free is verse, a form accursed-
Murders Art, fetch forth a hearse
For they coerced the Poems reverse,
And left our lines inverse- perverse!
