Premium Member Two Strangers

Two strangers at night
Fill each other---full delight
Still unknown, their names hidden
Each heart does flutter
Giving the green to explore
Extreme passion in high gear

Premium Member Road Trippin'

Road-trippin' this Labor Day weekend
    with construction season in high gear
  Not much hope that the roads'll be clear

  But thinking positive may just help ~
    If not, watch out for my reviews on Yelp


        Y'all have a nice holiday now!

Premium Member - The Brain Fog -


    An overwhelming exhaustion
    the brain is working in high gear
    Ability to stay focused
    feels incredibly frustrating

    The curved wings of the gray heron
    seriously floating away 
    Concentration is in free fall
    - a blue sky waiting tomorrow


Premium Member New Year, Cold Beer

  New year, cold beer
    Cold beer, Bronx cheer

  Bronx cheer, high gear
    High gear, all clear

  All clear, frontier
    Frontier, sharp spear

  Sharp spear, blood smear
    Blood smear, kill deer

  Kill deer, pure fear
    Pure fear ~
        Get outta here

Premium Member Daily Approach

Let me think for a moment,
Instead of jumping into high gear,
Speeding into the daily tasks,
Then wondering what I missed!
In those first morning moments,
Calm down, reflect on the gift that has been given.
Listen while this home is still quiet.
Everything will take on a different hew.

Premium Member Archie Bunker Loves Crackers

Archie Bunker Loves Crackers

Crackers are white
what's not to love
Crackers are simple food
for simple minds

Archie sits in his chair
rants against liberals
races
and humanity

Some think he passed on
for every fool gone
another will appear
even from down under

Where hatred is running in high gear

Maximum Speed

R-ace at maximum speed, 
O-utrun anyone on the road; 
D-ouble your efforts to win, 
E-mploy the fuel that you
L-oad.

M-aximum speed is necessary, 
A-s judgment day draws near; 
R-echarge your life with faith, 
I-ncluding hope in high gear.
N-ovember thirteenth Monday, 
A-llow your trust to exceed; 
S-witch your long journey at maximum speed.

Premium Member Fill In the Blank

Used to think that happiness 
Was contingent upon striving
If only we can obtain ______
Then we’ll really start thriving

Leads us to chasing our tail
Continually stuck in high gear
Yet there's a path to clear the air
To make the grasping disappear

Take stock of what we have now
Notice the pieces are already in place
To invite happiness to our doorstep
If we embrace today and end the chase

Premium Member Lickety Split

Lucky at the race of wit
Implicit you must admit
Clicking heels no time to sit
Kick into high gear to split
Energized quite opposite
Teasing like a hypocrite
Yelling at shadows moonlit

Spry vocals you will emit
Pirouettes so exquisite
Linger not without permit
Impulsive to infinite
Twinkle toes lickety split

Celebration Is Now Open

G-ood morning light shines, 
A-fter the mist fades away; 
V-ile weather has turned
I-nto a cool pleasant day.
N-ineteenth February, night shadows disappear; 
O-n this special occasion, the beacon ascends in high gear.

S-ee the dawn comes rising, 
A-s the dusk passes by; 
R-ain suddenly stops falling, 
M-aking azure the black sky.
I-nto the deepest darkness
E-vening haze has hidden; 
N-ever mind the fog and smog, 
T-he celebration is now
O-pen.

Premium Member Optimistic About the Future

Christmas is over for another full year And I am ready to shift into high gear Hoping 2022 will bring lots of good cheer What’s that? Did I hear a sarcastic jeer? Hoping an end to this Covid is near …, And we will no longer be living in fear. I am rather optimistic about the future, Thinking it will have a redeeming feature Be an enabler for the good of our culture, Show the better side of our human nature.

Why Now a Bad Left Ear

Why now a bad left ear?
With it not faint sounds hear,
Unless the makers near,
My interest in high gear…

But why: Once-Good Ear?
The next man knows my fear:
Some foe would at me jeer:
Men I’d failed to buy beer!

Gosh! A Real Bad left Ear,
In my Middle Ear Sear:
Towards Ear Drops now steer,
Aches wielding monstrous spear,

Who might save my left Ear?
Oh! Some nurse should me cheer,
To whom both ears are dear
All picked sounds should be clear,
Or I can’t glad face wear.
