Nod your head tap your toes

Haitians, Houthis and Hamas...
Violence all round...
The world we've inherited
is hell in a handbasket.

I inherited
my father and my mother's
cherished furniture
a sparkling vibrancy
seems to have left
the shine
since my parents
passed away.

Silver Mine

He inherited a silver mine
Which had such a beautiful shine
Others heard about his luck
Tried forcing him to buck
Their tricks showed that he had a spine

My Old Indian Beech frontyard tree 
My evergrowing songbird family
My chair by inherited shelf of books
My circle of virtual mentors from
Whom I learn at my time of ease

The first son inherited by right
The second,off with his king to fight;
Ab third in a rectory might dwell
The youngest was to marr well..
Family coffers...more to swell.

Premium Member George Zimmerman

Hello, son.
You're a big one.
Lucky for you you inherited somebody's genes
That gave you light skin
That made you get away with murder.

May your day of jubilee
be all you want it to be.

Washing-line musings

I have inherited pleasure:
the rhythm of pegs, the smell
of buttery sun on sheets,
a whispering murmur of trees
standing around, and the company
of magpies inspecting
with one eye looking for worms.

The Wasteland

Inherited
 severance
The saddest
probate
A wasteland
of love
A garden
of hate

A dark
segregation
Divorced
in our bane  
To separately
 covet 
What little
— remains

What you have is a favorite style,
That is being happy with a smile;

Now marriage is no longer on trial.

Fish Kiss

I inherited a rellie's goldfish,
It lives in calm and placid bliss,
I approach, it blows a fish kiss,
Here, I own the snacks,
Even the fish knows that,
I'll feed you, you drive your tank,
That's how a fish says "Thanks!".

Refrain of Pain

In your hour of need, you hurt when those whom you have helped, now go deathly still

Else, all are gifted

One's born with brain inherited, 
Or gets made with a lot lifted. 
It’s not what can one quote, 
How much his be of note, 
Or else everyone is gifted!

The Complex Man

Karma is a complex of your nature and nurture 
That load acquired through aeons of incarcerations
What you inherited over generations of ancestors 
How the environment exposes you and builds you
Your true response to life is from that complexity

An inheritance to my soul

An inherited jewellery box sits on the vanity-
My parent's love embedded in each stone.
It is a meal to carry away from home.
When sky turns dark,with no where to go
In problems engulfed is my soul;helps-
vanity of loved meal to sky's soul.

The Kuttab

Rigid and small in dunam
Revelations glued into baldam
Literacy filled amalgam

Inherited from its predecessor
Abram the Hanif ancestor
The legacy of pilgrim Lordor

Revealed command “read”
The order was repeated by lead
Coupled Shafa than ennead

Premium Member Perfect Love

I can't imagine more vivid beauty than that I've seen on Earth,
and when I try to picture Heaven in the somewhere up above
I see flowers and trees, fields, mountains and seas, inherited at birth,
envisioning Heaven as our own Earth, enhanced by perfect love.
