with choices squeezed and limited

God issued a set of commands
God etched them in stone
And heard Moses moan,
"The Rock of Elvis will rock bands!"...

We each have a pistol and ammo
Issued by the company
Goes with the job for life
Only way out natural death or suicide
Take your pick you’re here now...

This man was so mean, he scared every child
Halloween was his big chance to go wild
  Kids rang his doorbell
  Screams issued from hell
And if a kid yelled ~ Why, he was all smiles...

Trump Subpoena With Addenda

Trumped drowned  people from a marina,
And then later he was issued a subpoena;
To our surprise,
It included lies;
Attached to it had been a lot of addenda.

Little tow-head

Tasseled  hat, 
Winners robe,
Fine young

Issued backpack, 
Army boots,
Future straight

I'll be okay when
you leave, Then cry
when I can....

Do you know the great extent of your sins
They are as black as your soul
Opens the hard hate inside

Sins that are deep inside are dangerous
Pain issued by your dark void
Terror, the end of life

Have you ever ate a can of cake;
Was it chocolatey did it taste great;
Did you slice it or pour it on your plate;
Yum! Yum! Can of cake;
Government issued, tastes great;

I overheard harsh words
between two lovers next door,
each bearing shields
of mistrust and pride
that covered the words
‘I love you’.

Their door slowly opens
and her crying issued forth
upon this neighbor near
a memory fresh and clear
of words I never spoke
‘I love you’....

Materazzi muttered malicious mouthful
Zinedan Zidane zealous - headbutt was calous
Chest of foe concave became
Fell to pitch - victim o' Zidane
Red card issued - final curtain
Frenchies lose - Zidane for certain...

For sickness, for weariness
What, more world-fatiguing
Appals, too brightly aware
Through hot self-accusing stare
Will to live bores deep in

Seductive as a whisper
The call to sleep, saves.
Which great peace, issued from out
Which place, soft-winged, beds about
Child, stood guard o'er, craves....

To town,
from town.

Clay patta, 
saffron civara.
Smoothened walking stick,
the companion of the unlonely
alone.
Downhill,
uphill.

Through clouds,
through fog.
Soles worn,
robes tattered.

Wake, rise...
Weary, rest...

This flesh, in truth,
the begging bowl
we each were issued....

Ferociously fought Footballer's in Fray on Field,
Italian storm did French fend off fairly for a time;
Materazzi muttered malicious mouthful,
Zinedan Zidane zealous; headbutt callous
Chest of foe concave became
Fell to pitch, 'nother victim o' Zidane
Red card issued, final curtain
Frenchies lose, Zidane for certain....

Prophetically sorrowful
A nightmare of a dream
247 passengers inside
No survivors
Broken Wings of a 747
One sad night


Powerfully Invasive
The night the faeries died
Assault rifles issued to the brownies
Who decimated their broken wings
Taking their powers, and then taking them hostage
Sad faeries, hostage wives...

"What's the big idea?" Lyric Man said.

Well, for me, there's not one in my head!

If I had one, my dear,

it would surely appear

in my very own contest instead!

Pregnant sky labors in misty cloud
Tenants of earth awaits the bath of life
Warrant is issued to eastern wind
Stagnant is earth and man's thrive


Rain now patters in Noah's days fashion
Vein shivers as cold infiltrates man
Pain enslave the worried thought and soul
Champagne is the savior of man


For Rick Praise's lento contest...

bagram airfield july 2010

hushed ether of morning
huddled guardian warriors, arms aligned
early call to prayer sounds the blood to chill
arrives the entry check point white linen under issued desert garb
a steely eyed airman quick witted and quicker with sidearm
all hell breaks loose and all age 30 years in one hot minute...

Craving a poboy,
a women in Michigan
hangs her head and cries,
longing for a home
that no longer exists.

Dreaming of seafood,
Mardi Gras, snowballs
and jazz bands-
A man in Oklahoma
awakes in tears.

As one lonely jazz horn
floats a requiem
over empty streets,
and a pot of gumbo simmers
in a government issued trailer....

He was lured into her lair
By her mesmerizing stare
And while he was in there
She issued him a dare

She dared him to sit still
While she enforced on him her will
Promising a thrill
Never offered by another girl

He wasn’t really sure
If he should bite into her lure
Then he heard the locking door
And was heard from never more...

Letting you all know that starting today.
I am now quitting from my addiction.
This pen made me a bad person.
Too bad, I had issued a memorandum.
surfing on other site while at work.
So now, I need to rest for a while.
Can no longer create new poems with these hands.
Pour this ink on my pen in trash.
Right time will come....
I'll be free to live my life with no tasks!...

On my very first day in the military, I was issued a comb,
then the Army barber shaved off all of my hair that very afternoon.
On my second day in the military a toothbrush was issued to me.
That afternoon the Army dentist yanked out all of my teeth.
On my third day in the military I was issued a jock strap.
I've been AWOL ever since and I'll be damned if I'm going back....
