Ridicule is nothing to be scared of
it's how I know I am doing well
I use it as a gauge...

charcoal grey clouds
greet me this morning
adding to my somber mood,
letting weather be my gauge
controlling my psyche
who is submissive...

He flew eek-on-a-me class
  Saving Siri us money
But Lou zing his lug gauge
  Was knot sew fun knee!...

Grabbing hold of my life at this very late stage
About time don't ya think, I'm on the last page
As the numbers suggest
But got lotsa years left
Forever in great shape, if that's any gauge ...

thought-road norms with

a built-in radar as...
the met-a-four lane-gauge

for under standing bridges...
and the intersections that sent-tense

stans sand

To renew my driver's licence at this ripe old age
Need some distractions, “Hey look at the fuel gauge!”
“Almost outta gas!!!
Did you see that ass?
How's the wife and kids? Have you ever been raped”???...

With attributes that only those who know him understand,
A countenance deceptive…and a “being” hard to gauge…
Within what seems indifference - in the still and quiet man -
May lurk a warrior’s courage…and the wisdom of a sage....

Real poets understand poetry. I don’t.
Real poets write in flowery words. I don’t.
Real poets love poetry, and so do I.
Real poets publish poems, and so do I.
Real poets score fifty percent to one hundred percent on this little gauge....

If I could stand beside myself,
And see what others see,
And then look deep within my heart,
And gauge it honestly,

I wonder how I'd see myself.
I wonder how I'd feel,
To meet the "Me" that others meet,
And feel the way they feel....

Choice fashions voice
Voice in sure poise
Poise transcends noise


See growing tree
Tree wild and free
Free to just be


Gauge poignant page
Page that sets stage
Stage to live rage

I breathe you like air 
every moment you stay with me
In my imagination
you drive me relish and cherish
this beautiful world around
I see this world differently
gauge people's intentions
and motives within feelings
Poetry you're my compulsion....

In the previous post I talked about a limited tool, LANUGUAGE.
What on earth is a LANUGAUGE?
Think LAN u Gauge
A Gauge for a LAN: Limited Area Network
Please don not limit your area to the West, or East, or Earth. A multiverse with galaxies await you...

there is a creature
of mystery age it is
no one knows when born
its difficult to  gauge age 
every year is young year
never growing old
ever growing young
better  not ask really
how old the creature is
you may go regretting
with  open broken lips...

Long necked
with legs like ruby stilts
the crane lifts it wings
to it's side
and dances with little strides
It bobs and hops:
a skipping rope with feathers
then lowers it's wings
to gauge the effect.
Almost like the wind is a critic
It finds a mate....

Listen to poem:

In Naught Out Wins Love

Prime blooms tryst dawns dew
midst steel spires vaunts vaults blue
save roots points of view
wrought grounds too firm to gauge through
yields sound replete for that shrew

The coach on the sidelines
     the foreman in the shop
   Each follows certain guidelines
     so his team comes out on top

   Our leaders in Washinton
     they have their guidelines too
   They each stick a finger in the air
     to gauge which way the wind just blew...

I can't cope with copacetic,
A life of compromise seems to me pathetic,
Without completing dreams, I can't gauge my worth,
So with arms raised high, Eyes shut, I fly out to mirth,
I find myself flattened quickly against a glass ceiling,
Now a budding career in retail seems appealing....

Thunder and storms over trees in rage
Waves in oceans and seas converge
Birds and beasts in wilderness forage
Floods and heavy rains that gauge
Gales and leaves and dirt on stage
Blowing, freezing of currents deranged
As clouds shower lightning and rains engaged
Oceans and seas divide unhinged...

Hard To Tell


                        
With attributes that only those who know him understand...
A countenance deceptive...and a “being” hard to gauge...
Within what seems indifference - in the still and quiet man -
May lurk a warrior’s courage...and the wisdom of a sage....

Can't wait until school is finally out,
   Go fishing for Bass and Trout

    All the birds are in harm,
    As soon as I step on the farm

    Me and my 20 gauge,
    No longer will they grow in age

    Riding fourwheelers with Jake,
    Hope I don't have to pull him out of the lake

The problem in Somali
Everyone is assuming
That he is OK
No gauge no gaps at any gear
And the evil is assented other name
For the neighbor
As the neighbor's
other name
Everyone denial
For spots of grease
On his face
But ignorance
And arguing in set
no adding any good in
A face
Ignorance is your ugly face...

Time turns on wrinkled canvas,
winter spider in twilight hour 
weaves senility web, 
empty eyes wander in wasteland. 
Hedonist psyche refuses 
to gauge the grief of loss. 
Face morphs into metaphor 
for the past panorama dislodged,
captured in the snapshot 
of narcissist impulse congealed.

I often feel the shadow of guilt.
It visits most when walking close.

My aura is my gauge.
Its custom flavors my mood.
My swimming, my drowning, my
Thrashing disbelief.

No hint of disfavor, no eye adrift.
Their obedience reflects the Acceptance of things unearned.

And she said, "It's good to be King."...
