The Russian Warplane Shot Down Over Syria

President Putin's having Turkey for Christmas dinner this year!
I think with stuffing inside it

Christmas In July

Sun's sparks settling seaward, sultry-slow
   Sleek silver stallions shaping the snow
Hooves hurling healthy helpings of Holiday Cheer
   'Tis Christmas in July, sing Kris Kringle's reindeer

The Bigger Your Family

The bigger your family, the faster you have to eat if you want second helpings!


Written Dec. 6, 2015 For the One Liner 3 Contest of Silent One (this was sure true in MY family. I was good at getting seconds!)

Mac and Mac

To the diner Mac went for a meal
Where he ordered two helpings of veal.
All he had was one dime
Could not pay! What a crime!
Washing-up was the fairest MacDeal.

Softely Kneading

Love that's gathered in heart's glow
the season comes upon
scarlet smiles - attachments pure
encircling life most golden
where in spirit shadows fade
only brilliance seen
round the table - nourishment
substance feeding all 
canning love's great fortitude
to store for yonder's need
helpings drive the loosening of
soul's tender belts to sigh

Vitamin D

In the noon day sun
Sitting with the true 
Only one
Keeping the flow 
Free for good thoughts
Making the love pattern meat
Planning for great helpings 
Feeding the needy and starved
No place for begging any pardons
Being the conduit with love
Embarking on the freedom
So freely given, freely give
An overview in natural realm
Calling for joy calender style
 
Spare Moment--

Re: Re: Re: Re: Me Across the Pond

I had to change 
email addresses. 
I couldn't keep up
with the alt accounts— 
ten helpings 
of the same subject.

you know they're automatic?
after you sign up 
you have to go to settings,
unenroll—
seems like too much.

I'd miss 
dopamine's dinner bell—
notifications.
Only to remember:
I was the commenter.

It's a rush
worth the risk— 
a chance, 
to re-visit myself,
dressed
in your jumper.

Homeless Miss the Most

Homeless Miss The Most

I never have  been a perfect host,
Yet still do like homeless the most;
Second Helpings Program existed;
To participate more have enlisted.

Food is available for all of them,
Even if it has been a her or him;
From local stores is contributed,
And by our church is distributed.

In church song had been humming,
Those in need up we were summing,
And no matter how many or why,
Know God will always help us try.

I Need To Eat

As a man, I'm thinking
and as a man, I'm shrinking,
thinking I should get back to the gym, 
and get some food in me, 
before I dissapear prematurely,
because although it's ok to be whispy,
or ethereal in verse, I probably won't survive,
If I eat just twice a day,
and small portions at that
of barbecue meat and scattered fruits,
swallowing pills with coffee 
and large helpings of sugar
to aid my cigarette addiction...
that may be the life a poet,
but even poets are human.
