Nhs Cut Backs 3

The NHS has plans to save money
And many are opposed to the suggestion
The Obstetricians feel that the government
Are labouring under a misconception

The labouring art of poetry
is in true sense, senseless.

It corrupts judgment, strains credit
and prostitutes' self-esteem.

Damn the unhappy day you start it.

A song for this:
This Place Hotel (a.k.a. Heartbreak Hotel) by The Jacksons

Chain Letters as Desire

Instant the command 
As decisions 
In labouring the fields
A civil war of family's avoiding 
Yet the enactments mimic
As bond as surety 
In financing burdens
One wishes not to carry
Carriage as stable
Nightingales lost fables
Ferry in twist 
Smirking gentle and smits

To the good Friday of Ireland

dispersion

hot crusted bread speaking truths 
labouring backs bent over ovens
cows chewing cherrywood cuds cosy 
what could be more knowing    
as Nature spreads tranquility tacit ?

Its 53 Words But 2 of Them Are A

A an and an a
both besotted beguiled
care careened carelessly
devilish d doted dangerously
envy exploded evil evolved
for fate faked future fates featuring fatalities
gradually giggles gone
Happiness halted hope honestly harmed
I ill imagine images imaginary
just judge jest jump justify
Kick knee kill keep
labouring lets laugh less lastly

Poetic Process Of An Earthwoman

laying back sun warmed
pulling the seasons in 
through my pores
stretch cat like, 
surround the earth
taking it into me
feeling its kick.

thoughts drift, form, part
wanting to feed the world 
as it feeds me
sights, scents, sounds,
tastes, touches
my mind swells 
labouring pen on paper, 
I give birth.

Premium Member Man To Man

Man to Man
Standing tall
Forging a divide 
With their backs
 Fencing up a wall
While each man struggling
To erect a solid side
Thus hurling their words 
Over and above the sides 


Man to man 
With Each man
labouring to deliver their world
Through the conceived word
To as many a man
With a fertile heart
Sending each word
 as a weapon
to arm the man

COLD BLOODED Summer grows old cold-blooded tree’s scant leafless twigs bend and break creek and whither Anaemic the suns pathetic rise and fall so soon the rainplunge of icedew sickens to greysludge gloom Winter takes hold cold-blooded labouring storms iceflesh to bone sallow and shrunken we faceforce doom © Kim van Breda—29 September 2015

I can feel it,
smell it fragrant on the breeze
watch it in the leaves of broadleaf trees that bend to give me shade
taste it sweet upon my waiting lips
a kiss that comes to me 
through every flower and bird and labouring bee,
not in gentle honeyed sips but fresh as new picked mint 
every morning clear as day, bright as resting dew at dawn
I hear it whispered through the grass 
summer is reborn

Lavish lilac layers link lofty laurel lunar lanterns
 laissez-faire luxurious largesse lifts labouring lumberjack 
loop-de-loop  lilting Limerick levity lessens life’s load

The Old Man

He had aged for every one of his days
As he worked his life away
They say the knees are the first to go
Then his back ache began to show

The lines on his face from the sun 
Were earned each day for work not fun
Until the years added up for him
And old age early did begin

For labouring your life away
Meant your life would be a shorter stay
For honest labour has no choice
And older people have no voice.

Premium Member Wailing Boy

The other day
I lay for an echo of my heart

The technician scanned my chest and sides
I could hear my heart pant aloud

Oh boy! Was that a chugging train,
a distant wail, water gurgling,
or a rhythmic rub inside an empty tub?

The guy sure was at frantic speed
wailing all the while

Thank the Lord 
He has made sure
we never hear
the perturbations
of this friend of ours
labouring inside each of us
all twenty-four hours

"I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive."Acts 20:35 of the King James Bible

Yes, I desire to help Yielded as care giver Yon meaningfulness of Youthful achievements midst Yawns in struggling to stay Yoked for reaching-out with Yahweh’s strength through the years.

The Right Frame of Mind

The right frame of mind is essential,
If you want to achieve to your potential,
A matter one should not treat as trivial.

For me it was baking, 
That started me thinking,
About drinking.

I stopped thinking about drinking,
The moment I started expecting,
And gave up shrinking.

Now I am enjoying,
Instead of labouring,
Loving instead of dreading.

The mistakes are no longer coming,
Which leaves others wondering,
Why my baking is now so tempting.

Hands Of Clay

Silence!
A labouring sleep, 
Got into trance
Of a great leap!
Away from residence.

The crush to say
As adultage,
Meant to be paid.
Has gained teenage,
Having hands of clay!

Those responsibility
A man gains
Bearing sensibility.
Inside the rain,
Has got his ability!

Soft gentle hands,
Got them to pawn.
Changing the books,
Also about the pen,
Beneathing piercing hook!

Congrats ERA!
Dreams broke,
Desires too!
After the father,
Of great gratitude!
