Hence the garden thrived and perked,
Ironically when blueberries collected 
Thumbs were stained from fruit selected.

Typing away poems
For a man who ironically
Doesn’t even like reading

When I should be talking

For walking away

Ironically
Scattered dreams
For two
Now everyone has their own
In Silence that hurts
I see her standing
And I know how he loves it,
Leaning on dreams
Infinitely in love,
Unhappy sad, sad
In a small dream boat
On the foam
The celestial change floats
Dearest woman...

The voice inside you it feels like igniting me from
You . . .

I mean both of us are taken away to reality
And now still existing that our hearts beats as one . .

Do I need to ask myself?...

Investigative of a Native

Report ironically appeared investigative,
About some people apparently native;
They looked in vein,
On impoverished plain,
And still never did find a place to live.

Who’s mugshot was seen around the world 
Who is infamous for being impeached
Who’s hair defies wind with no curl
With orange skin from spray tanning
Who could be so obnoxious indeed
And it give a polling up bump
Who can’t keep his hands to himself
Ironically his name rhymes with rump

Acrostic poems, when writ in verse,
Cause some who dabble thus to curse.
Relentless rules that cramp one’s style,
Over time, may prove a trial.
Surrendering to failure might
Tempt those where patience’s taken flight.
Ironically, such poems inspire
Challenge-freaks to climb much higher....

Die in chains or fly

A choice to live or die
A choice is the reason why
A choice considered for a lie
A choice is the destiny eventually by
A choice we don’t have is an eternity denied
A choice is a paradox ironically tied
A choice is no choice but to try
A choice remembered for time does fly...

She said it, yesterday,
That she is in love
With a


Wonderful
Wondrous
Resourceful
Reliable
Happy
HOT
Man

Ironically, it did not breed in me
A feeling of:

Resentment nor
Ravenous-ness nor
Jealousy nor
Jeopardy nor
Betrayal nor
Bitterness.

Because I was the other man
A transformed soldier of my wife...

Help me
He won't wake up these weekends
I came back home
I help him get unsick
Mom runs her usual parade
Dad just watches TV and escapes
He wants to change
But can't make himself rearrange
Disk problems in the back
Ironically im schooled in physical therapy...
he doesnt want to listen to me 
So time putters on indefinitely...
