Father.
How could you prepare me for war
so gently,
as if teaching how flowers should be picked?...

Hee-Haw was a Donkey
    misappropriated as a laugh

  Joe Biden was his godfather
    oops ~ My bad, Joe's gaffe...

I saw something subtle, in Mr. De Niro
I get the gist Trump, is just not his hero.
He’s not a good fella, and not his godfather;
And was sure the election, would be a big slaughter.

Rivers flow
in volumes and refrains
the shadows of black phoebes
chasing waves
as they ripple
in quiet tones
a majestic scenery
tainted by involuntary lullabies
of atonement

I remember.
Your eyes and your velvet,
and the half open gate...
I remember.
Old fashion perfume,
mistaken roses, carnations and whatnots...
I remember.
The music and the half burnt candles
and the way you looked at my that day
as if you knew...
that I would never see you this Earth,
ever again....

maybe it comes easy for you 
maybe it comes easy for you 
well just maybe 
it will come easy
don’t listen 
he’s in back
 “spitting”
Is he 
“grapes” 
father the son
the grandfather 
Godfather 
beyond 
think tree
the son moon Tuesday’s
son of guilt 
think gun in sun
stupid

A Godfather, often vague
Says Belated HBD, Craig
Not because you matter less
But because I was careless

The first birthday without your Dad
Made perhaps a day,sad
God has a plan for sure
To keep our hearts and minds pure

With all my love,right
To my only God child a wish, bright
A day full of cheer and laughter
To celebrate a whole four days after...

Leonard was getting a date for the ladybug ball
He watched for her, through the weeds so tall
But she was walking with his best pal Jim
So, he decided to go away, and give her to him.

But wait, there is no other ladybug you like?
This was said to him by his godfather, Mike.
Not really, Leonard said, but it is okay.
The night of the dance, he stayed away....

One with a self-effacing attitude,
he's the salt-of-the-earth type of a dude,
just a faceless face in a multitude;

Apparently low-profile, limelight-shy,
far more timid than a daytime firefly,
and you might want to figure out just why;

I'll let you in on a secret, brother,
with your bragging don't go any further,
him you called a wimp is the Godfather !...

This is my religion 
This is my faith
This is my church

This is where I pray
This is where I lay
You are what I seek
For you are the father who gave me birth 

My father who art in heaven
Hallowed be the name
Thy kingdom come
The will be done
On earth as it is in heaven

This is my prayer
My cross to bear
For when I reach
Its your love and forgiveness i seek...

US: eh hem
(clearing of the throat)

THE REST OF THE WORLD:  (timidly stuttering) yyyyyyyessss godfather, you wanted to speak to me?

US: are you ready to do me a service?  

THE REST OF THE WORLD:  (hands shaking nervously, sweat beads forming at brow)  anything, godfather.  anything you need, i am at your disposal.

US: good.  that is what i wanted to hear.  i’m glad we had this talk....

A wail escapes from its bow

Each note rising, ebbing

To cut into my pinch of ache;

While strings quiver on flesh, 

A wail escapes from its bow.




From Gabby Sabre [ Aug 3 2015]
A Prized Refrain Contest [nette onclaud]
- My godfather gave me his violin for my
  music lessons in high school. Since then, 
  I got hooked on this instrument; 
  a valuable possession.
No.1--VIOLIN...

My heart aches
I can not think of purchasing Stars.
I'm happy with the Gifts
my Godfather has poured on me
from 'he fathomless depth of His treasures.

I want to commit mistakes
to enable Experience teach;
I am satisfied with me
and no need to seek for it
in vain elsewhere.

I can not rest from travel!

I well gathered all those Stars
even before my birth -
this birth of bitter agony!...

badger Santa was the head of the Winter Mafia
godfather of the forest in non-Santa town
animals came to kiss the ring
asked for favors
he was the boss
they brought offerings
hoping it would be enough
badger Santa ran for president
he had the worst character traits
but the animals were afraid to not vote for him
afraid of repercussions
history perpetually repeats itself, said the historians...

Different look

I woke up to check my mirror,and 'WOW"!
Agape!this is not me-a ghost or a clown?
This must be a ghost with a flowing gown,
Confused as I am,I went back to bed,
It must have been a dream just like the fairy,
Which gives me the cramp as I look scary,
Having a funny look which is frail,
means definitely my beauty has failed,
I cried to my Godfather for a solution,
Who told me to accept this evolution....

Such a lazy man 
All he does, is sit around, 
Doesn't do his job 
Godmother does all the work, 
He sits around and complains 
About kids wanting wishes. 

Runs from the kitchen 
The commercials are over 
Sits on the sofa 
Nachos, pretzels, beer, he has 
He's looking for the remote 
Time to watch the football game.

I inherited a worn out clipper which made me mad.
For the rest of the cousins got riches, big and bad.
One got emeralds, another got diamond rings.
I got a clipper ship, without the pirate loot of kings.

Give it a whirl around the cape, my faerie godfather said.
He is a crazy old coot, eccentric, not quite right in the head.
Now what do you think, isn’t this a bit of fun now honey?
It surely was! My clipper ship was magic, and manifested money!...

He earned a great reputation as a tough guy actor.
We all remember him as Santino Corleone in "The Godfather".
There was another role considered just as strong:
That was as the late Brian Piccolo in "Brian's Song".
So many other parts in films made him quite famous.
Unfortunately, at 82 years, he has left us.
For many future generations his talent will be seen.
He has become immortal on the big movie screen.

A new day is here 4  me 
to make hay 
Feeling infused wit d 
beauty of the day
Hormones working 
overtime,
Hale n energetic  my 
skinny vessel 

Smile is buoyant than 
shimmering goodies
Shrugs at 
disappointment
Hearty laugh 2 less a 
joke 4rm paddies
The spur of dis moment 
is unknown.

Despite kicking nature 
in its butts, 
And making devil thy 
godfather
HE puts a happy little 
smiley face on my day.

Intrigued i am,
For a  happy new day 
has come....

I'm different at night.
I'm Earl Sweatshirt smoking grass with X in Limbo
I'm a Godfather blowing the Devil's Breath at my closest ones, 
and telling them to jump from the roof.

I'm Blade, Slade Wilson, Killer Bean,
making a killer scene cause I don't need sleep.
I need power.

I'm the guy you want dead.
Yet i'm the guy you wish to be.
I'm the guy with my eyes red,
I'm the murderer of my clan.
I'm the apathy that people fake.
I'm the guy you hate.
I'm the guy who stays up late....
