First we had ‘Pennies from Heaven’
         Then it was the ‘March of Dimes’
  
       Now the Tooth Fairy leaves five dollars
         Inflation improves life over time...

Reading a book is better than TV. 
Not one commercial will you ever see. 
Open the cover and turn the pages. 
Read the words of wisdom from sages. 
There is a great treasure you will find. 
Reading everything improves your mind.

H  ave a shot at telling the truth, for a change, 
A  nd see if it improves your viewership range.

A sky’s pasty pallet, 
thickly stroked
with a heavy brush,
lends pale shadows
to the earth below
while a filament  
of a memory
improves the dreariness
with joyous rays

Soon to follow
comes the rain
as the clouds lessen
their laden load
and the day brightens
as remembrances lighten
and sorrow steams away
on the pavement 
of a renewing heart

Tim sometimes shoots from his living room, 
And into his conservatory right onto the target, 
When he’s not training at Stoke Mandeville, 
Where he improves thrice a week as a go get. 

With his left arm amputated, his right one does, 
Most people told him he would not be able to, 
But he’s visited the Euros and done the Worlds, 
‘And ‘Cos he won the World Cup, he made Rio....

Spend some time with itself
Believe me u will never ask for company again
Work on itself
Believe me u will never find an amazing person
Being alone is not bad
Believe me u will b addicted to it
I often do the same
By winning all dat fake arguments
Living all my dreams
Imagining all the impossible s when alone
Yes it changes me
Yes it improves me
And yes it makes me stronger...

Speechless, a ruby lies on my hand 
Cherished by many for its red glow, 
Elegantly bold as a fiery dawn
Legends say it improves health and will
Enriching the blessings of life.
Worn by kings for gem's prized treasure
A ruby is a myth's healing kismet
With its majestic russet tones
One  pure beauty, quite eternal
Worth keeping for all generations.

In the suburbs and the country
When the night arrives,
You can feel the darkness
Where the silence thrives.

For a city gal,
Used to lights and noise,
You would think such peace
Would bring endless joys.

Though my sleep improves
When the quiet reigns,
There is something lost
Which negates the gains.

Though it might sound nuts
(And I'm sure it does),
In the burbs I miss
All that city buzz....

Just to be free
I will take a chance,
Without a backward glance
To close the door and lose the key
That has been too oft used
To unlock memories better lost in the sea
Of forgetfulness. 

Just to be unbruised
From a lifetime of hurt
And from all the recorded grooves
Played and replayed like a concert
That never improves and always subverts
Any chance of happiness,
Or at least a peaceful armistice....

books and wheels
some of us spills the feel out
then we get out
suddenly a couple emmerges
he splurges on himself a drink
thats the thing
thats your big man
then his hand turns rich
then the son of a jerk gets sick
he do
he marry you
then he improves
and your through
then the two time loser finds hers
she was sure
she didnt sleep with him
she made him dream
thats the thing
thats my poem
im under one...

Soft brown eyes,
Silky black fur,
Large white bandage
Fear in her

Strange cold place
Cries of pain.
Confusion deep
Needle in vein.

Strong new scents
New people roam.
Warm soft towels
It’s not home.

Brain on alert
Nose sniffs hand.
Help is here
Can she stand?

Slow first walk
How will she cope.
Finding her balance
There is hope.

She stands unsteady
Improves by degree.
She will survive
The latest amputee....

My daughter has a lava lamp,
Once given as a gift,
A retro item that, when plugged,
Can give your mood a lift.

The lava lamp was such a fad
That we’d be shocked to know
That future generations
Would find cool that blobby glow.

Its groovy factor didn’t last
But it was guaranteed
To mesmerize a visitor
Who’d smoked a little weed.

Of course, the folks who buy it now
Most likely have no clue
That being in an altered state
Improves that lava view....

The voices in his head tell him to write
Compelled to achieve he loses sight
With one swift move he regroups and improves
On his quest for success he will never stop
But overcoming the demons that plague him is tough
But like a Spartan warrior he battles away
Chipping at those who block his way
And in the end he believes he will win
Whatever it takes he hopes and dreams
That maybe in time this rhyme may ring true
And once and for all his dreams will come true...

There was a time when tennis players
Had to dress in white.
Appearing on the court in colors
Wouldn’t have been right.

But rules have changed and now we see
A medley of attire.
In fact, to be a fashion plate
Some players do aspire.

Both men and women choose to wear
Ensembles bright and bold.
A few stroll out in outfits
Rather shocking to behold.

Though some may yearn for former times
When whites were de rigueur,
To me, the freedom from those rules
Improves the court’s décor....

Be good
Do good
What you give will come back
So give what you want like
Helping others
Smiling often
Talking nicely

Criticize never
Praise forever
One negative thought can ruin individual
One positive comment can build future
Increase confidence
Impel Improvement
Actuate progression

Keep mind
On labour
Mind should be absorbed in work
Mind concentrated at work in hand
Increases speed
Improves quality
Bestows nirvana
