Bungles She wears imitations 
The Mom doesn’t ever know
Her children not that to hold 
To see her in gold 
Even her at this old...

life is like 
a long cartoon movie clip
not as well done as a Disney

and the universe 
is peopled by poor imitations
of cartoon characters

not as monstrous sad or distressed
as the real cartoon characters on the screen
except for politicians...

Well in being and substance
Entertainment of any form easily attainable
All enjoyed by a peaceful mind
Limitations escape through the chimney of prosperity
Traveling at will to visit places of choice
However, the human needs still remain insatiable....

Spicer Enticer

Spicer enticer;
Never have things been nicer;
Should chop tie with slicer.

Did you read the latest
best seller Great Escape
from Trump. Stump the
Trump would also be an
interesting game if you
are game. It wouldn't
take to much to do it.

Jim Horn

Spicer imitations on Friday
Night Live were incredible....

In Air Jorden’s he strode proud,
with name-brands he stood
apart.

In closets
sneakers walked
not far from their boxes.


Heel to toe stock grew

Well known on eBay,
to barter, trade and pay
he paved the way

Fake stuff,
imitations led to 
litigation
financial gloom.

Nike rued the day
his wife
put down her foot
gave him what for,

then ran away

in cut-price
              footwear....

wake up

arrogant bird
black velvet blot
calling now raucously down the wind
light is barely caressing the patch work hilltops
snow creeps minutely 
backing off from the slumbering valley

a new spring chorus will soon commence
you self inflated huckster
rush to grab the top most branch
arranging a choir of cacophony
out-sounding the melodious songsters  
attempting to mate
through the rusty gate imitations....

Betwixt-Between
      

    I woke up
               in a dream.
     The smell of
               tastes gone before.
      Authentic tulips
               blended with
       plastic imitations.
               "Bluie" chirping,
       "CiCi" meowing at kitchen's door:
                A cloak of weariness
        vying for more
                 attention;
        as I drift into a
                 light of sun...

On the promenade they stroll,
The Hokas and Adidas,
While in between the pigeons squawk
And what they mean is "Feed us!"

Nikes and New Balance add
To Sunday's march of sneakers,
With Saucony's and OC's on
The feet of mileage seekers.

Some Skechers even make the scene
With Brooks and Reeboks showing;
All of them, at varied paces,
Coming here or going.

Growing up, we all had Keds
Or cheaper imitations.
Nowadays, the choice is vast
To match one's inclinations.
