On Speaker

My dark fantasies are growing bleaker,
Blithely flogging this attention seeker,
Why am I so pissed?
This bore must insist,
To take all his phone calls on speaker.

Night

Lots to write~ the subject, Night!
Night reveals and covers…
illuminates, and draws shades.
Some insist on dark for intimacy…
while I prefer to navigate by stars.

God Always Does Exist

God Always Does Exist

In our lives God always does exist,
Especially when praying will persist;
Are dedicated;
Consummated,
And know that He is sure to insist.

Abyss

Skulls on the wall of this dark abyss
Forever looking for the end 
Suffocate diminished air
O' endless pit of doom
Why do you insist 
Upon making 
Me suffer?
Please help

Bible Study Buddy

Bible Study Buddy

When the Bible we  will start to study;
Always best when you have a buddy;
Help  then assist;
And we do insist;
Not being with one can be cruddy.

We spend so much time on current affairs
Even though we have no influence there

Never Enough

It was never enough for my good friend Ben,
To be a well known personality as a witty comedian.
No, no! Not for him, to be merely renowned among men.
He had to insist on being a phenomenon!

A Coat For Me

No Way
Too expensive
Buy coats for the children
I will wear mine another year
Yes, a movie star, when I tried it on
My husband talked me into it
Beauty personified
If you insist
I do
