Trump Wishes He Was Propitious

Propitious is giving or indicating a good 
chance of success and being favorable.

Trump wishes that he would be propitious,
But has turned table by being tumultuous;
On us dawned,
Belief beyond,
And performance became totally fictitious.

Big Blue, my Alaskan Malamute greeted my friend with a wide tail wag.
He ran back to the car, rolled down the window and yelled “Is this a gag?”
Are you afraid of dogs? I asked. I did not know that about you.
No, but I am afraid of whatever that thing is, he said, indicating Big Blue....

While talking an early morning walk,
the air is crisp and cool,
serenading Nature’s creation
indicating the Autumn Season is here.

Orange, brown and yellow 
are the colors of the tree leaves
making the trees appear to dance
with the Autumn season scene.

Her dream of falcon, flamingo and furious things
Persuaded a parade of ideas indicating bird sings
A prancing parakeet provides a penguin’s sweet play
A clock in the shadows give her more reason to stay
Inside a dream where she is safe from the world
Ideas are tucked in close, until later unfurled....

Appearance and Adherence to Security Clearance

There are things that have an appearance,
Indicating that to there must be adherence
Standards set.
And then met;
Have been assured is a security clearance.

How anyone could in the Trump clan ever 
received one is a complete mystery to me.

Robbers in their den:
The harshest of men, 
In all ten, 
Their boss,  terrible Ben!! 
Stepbrother of as terrible Ken!! 
Now, not with his pistol but confusing pen
Their next operation indicating 'when'
And much persuaded to give it a name
One wouldn't have guessed, nursing mother hen
For his having once favored 'operation wren'...

I’ve never been patient or calm.
If someone were reading my palm,
The lines there to see
Would give clues about me
Indicating the need for a balm.

Just the slightest thing tests my restraint
And it’s not a nice picture I paint.
Yet that’s how my brain works;
It’s just one of my quirks.
Mellow, chill or laid-back I sure ain’t!

One's right for a view...!

Bruised ego triggers and  sets off anger,
indicating clear and impending danger!

Attempting to enforce one's own way,
throws the life of victim astray!

There is so much of it in the world,
for you, me and all to behold!

Isn't it one's right to have a view,
with a different line thinking to pursue?...

Tired needing to sleep,
Relaxing in the comfort of my protector.
Unusual as it seems, I was
Safe in the knowledge....the
Tiger was my friend.
Indicating to others the need of trust.
No good pretending anymore....my
Guardian is my best stuffed toy.

I would predict a landslide (Blue!)
Without a hint of déjà vu
But superstition rears its head
And warns me to shut up instead

Or else I would absorb the blame
If vic’try came to What’s-His-Name.
The reason why might give you pause – 
A kinnehura*’d be the cause.

*a pronouncement indicating good fortune
which should not be uttered for fear of 
attracting the “evil eye.” (Yiddish)...

Each year she went through a ritual 
preparing for his big night
she had been given strict orders as to how 
to ignite his passions just right 
the perfume was spritzed soft and light
the negligee warn low and tight   
but this year when the knock arrived at the door 
indicating his arrival , 
she sang,  "Good times are a " comin " 
until she heard a big thump,  
he died, just before his big hump....

(Thousands of children, all over the world, die every day for lack of food) 

Famine:

           Fathomless
 
                       Agony

                            Mercilessly 

                                       Indicating

                                                 Nutrient

The dark clouds were hovering, 
Indicating the Rains would shower, 
And I was thrilled by the Magic of Nature, 
My soul too was in dance, 
In tune with the Nature.

There are no surprises
Just ignored observations
And unlucky rolls
Deep in the purses
Loose change and lipstick
Slip through lining holes
I don’t think it will change
But I’m hoping for more
From the collective
She wants me to smile
But I’m unhappy here
Being reflective
So many little signs
Indicating the end
Of what one can stand
You count them like money
But it’s never enough
And not how you planned...

A lifeless house sparrow lays dead
In the middle of the towpath
As if asleep on a green sheet;
Its body still warmed by the sun
That one could mistakenly guess
Its demise was moments before
My arrival except that its
Only exposed eyeball was gone
Indicating an earlier
Death. No decomposers arrived
As yet, usually the maggot
Flies are the first at a death scene.
I picked up the feathery corpse
And buried it beside the path....

In many ways, Are We like a pot of crabs
With Us, Always, reaching up for grabs
Like We intend to keep Each other down
As with Slavery, in Our predicament-bound
Which is why, Everytime, We rise to the top
Are We distracted by the sound of a POP!
Indicating, how DRAMA, is at it's boiling point
And, that SOMEBODY's about to leave this joint
Cause that's Our way of maintaining EQUALITY
Even if it means, We're All Living In Misery...

On the Way of my heart
listen! you cannot more walk
As this way leads to a land
that is bared,containing grey sand
the land is segmented into many patches
in every patch there are so many scratches
there is also a part of water here
that comes from my eyes deep well
A red bird flittering on the sea wave
is infact indicating my pleasures grave
now tell me can you pass this herby way?
AH!i know the words that you will say
sorry,i can't more stay"...

TOXIC STATE                               Double Acrostic

             Troubling terribly
             Opting to overcome.
             X-axis and Y-axis of mind distorted,
             Indicating
             Chaos or crazy connivance.

             Stoically shattered sick
             Totally turbulent.
             Arid abusive
             Tottering torpidity
             Enraged erratic.

Although a period has no real jurisdiction,
It has substantial reason and purpose.

Bringing to mind its’ weight in space,
as well as, on paper.

What this solitary mark does,
Enables a pause.

Indicating ultimate culmination, this mark competes, only with 
the colon, leaving nothing more to say, 

Unless it is to filch some jurisdiction from its’ fellow marks;
none of which, can lawfully tell.

This period reeks of authority!
