Little boy Bo
Loves football so
He’s glued to a television
He spends half his fall
Watching football
A boy with a life’s mission
He dreams he’ll grow big
So, he’ll land a gig
In the game of human collision

My body is the sacred ground
You laid your soul to rest
An immensely painful stone
I've hidden within my breast
The land a beautiful Garden
That you could only dream
But the soil much too dry
To grow the life you had foreseen

Bird song symphonies
Interweave through trees
Adorned with blossoms.
The land, a mosaic
Of nature's splendor
The doting eye
Of the sun lands
Upon the blush
Of red dogwoods
Skins are out
Earthy smells
Cling to me
The days
Become
Lazy

This great land, a new chance
A love affair, pure romance
Our hearts and minds open wide
Purpose in our every stride
We are the face of America
Immigrants from everywhere
Our shoulders strong, our workdays long
This nation's dream we proudly share

Another Soul just got his wings
Another Angel gloriously sings
From this land a soul flies free
Burdens are lifted, rise does he
To new adventures, no pain just Love
where he can watch from stars above
Time was up on this Earthly plane
but happy memories will always remain.

they came through the mirror
solemnly passing
on this thin web
to you I am asking
drink with me
lay with me
in the frost
or in the sand
which ever it is
hold my hand
in and out of those ole ways
when no shadows grew for days
we roamed the land, a mid the trees
searching for a place to be

Bathed in the crimson beams of the harvest moon,
The freshest fruit falls on fertile earth,
Celebrated in a crunchy confetti of color:
Pumpkin orange, garnet scarlet, raven black.
Treasures of yearly labor are reaped,
While the reaper advances to take the year,
Inevitably, he will turn the land a bony white.

Little pink baby
bundle of joy for her mom
a gift from the God
angel like smile at her face
spreading an aura of love.
Grape like finger tips
waiting for mother's caress
soft pink rose bud cheek
tempting all to land a kiss
her mom's pink joy for ever.

In today’s crazy,
topsy-turvy world,
you do
what you gotta do,
pick up jobs as you can,
but I must say
it is a bit awkward
to do your job
taking ‘grams
door-to-door
only to find
that you must
land a kiss
on your boss’s lips…
—————
an ‘e’ lipogram that will not be delivered to any contest doors… :-)

So now she's letting go
Breaking out the mold
There's land-a-ho
I can make it on my own
Breathing softens then
Grows some tougher skin
She can feel her feet
Lifting with the wind
She can see the changing leaves, and
She wears her heart on her sleeve, and
Says one little prayer as she drops to her knees,
She's got faith like a hurricane

Cara’s on the pull with her mate
And hoping to land a hot date
She spies a fit guy
Who gives her the eye
What happened next made her irate.
His work tag reveals his name’s Jim
She flutters her lashes at him
He says’ move over pet
Canney see TV set’
Her chance of romance sure was grim
Inspired by a true story from a sweet friend,

Silently I contemplate
Secretly I desire your essence
Cardiff is another land, a far away shore
Absent from my lust, yet craving still
Drowning within my self, I lay myself down
And
Divesting my thoughts into the winds
Victory is surviving with only lingering pains
Hieroglyphic messages of undying love I leave
Even a Libra can not always balance the scales
Even a heart has only so many beats

Light Verse
Johann Rall and his Hessian men are defeated this harsh chilled day.
Washington routed these troops at a small Trenton town with surprise.
Crossing the raw Delaware Run, with war so lost as some would say,
he gives his land a victory now - such needful and sought for prize.
Hundreds of the bad German guards are then taken when full at ease.
Faces are red ashamed for sure when caught having pants down at knees.

Violet Nature
A bacteria, lived in the sea it was green and
found its way to dry land, a desolate place
knuckle rocks, lava soil and sharp diamonds.
The bacteria thrived became the ancestor of
plant life our nature too became green, which
is a blessing, just think if the bacteria had been
lilac. On a mauve field horses trotted and under
lilac olive trees sheep grazed on juicy lavender.
How gay is that?

Blank verse
I studied to be an actor
And after graduating
Auditioned for everything
Yet couldn't even land a bit part
But as of yesterday
I am officially the back end
Of Donkey ass in a local production
Of Shrek doth Shakespeare
I guess this what they mean
when they say starting at the bottom
Or maybe this is sign that i have chosen the wrong career path
And that my vocation is not rooted
in the arts

Raging rain falls down the street
Creating holes on the land a bit
Rainy, stormy, and windy days
Bring us turmoil, horror and screams.
How I wish to stop the rain from falling
In the days and nights while meditating
People overlooked the reality about rain
That it comes from the earth and naturally falls again.
The rain will drift
As our minds learn to accept
The idea that we create
Everything we partake.

dreary eyed, musky languor- tassels tight
a loose walk paraded by looser convictions
an acquaintance of that sad, lowly height
that alluded odysseys and several hymns
open window, surely dries out the stink
encroached in the room shadows and fleas
the zeitgeist of this area; to even think
flowers and dewdrops burly trees; to seize
the thought, it lingers, but only so little
too soon, to even land a misty eyed dream.

Iambic Pentameter
Born out of hate
condemned to fear from each other,
the race lives, the race dies.
The loser finds a quotient
to dig a mass grave
for innocent paeans.
My stains were bigger than you.
In no man’s land, a corpse
is lying unattended.
A terrorist strikes in the house
of god, who will not react
in the face of a massacre.
Death will not atone
the grief of a child,
whose mother did not come back.

I do not know?
I am a refugee
Can you see me
I am not Australian
Not of your nation
I'm fleeing, I'm running, I'm running scared
I'm tired of running
How far have I come
To find a new home?
My babies, my woman I've left behind
With promises of hope
That at last I would find
A people, a land, a new community
That would give immunity
From oppression
Where my children might grow
With the dignity
That is the right
of all humanity

Cumulus
Cumulus clouds
Fill the once lit daytime sky,
These structures
Do now more than just pass by,
Winter is here
Becoming the season for sure,
It’s going to be a
Heavy one, more than demur,
These flakes are
All in their own way unique,
Giving this Winterous
Wonderous Land a totally new peek,
Maybe this one
Will be the Winter’s miss,
Or could it be a
All awaited snowy bliss.

Looking down from somewhere up in the sky.
Mickey Mantle and Duke Snider stand by.
Below, Bronx Bombers, all in their pinstripes,
come out swinging their bats, taking their swipes.
Dem Bums have Shohei Ohtani and Betts.
Get ready, this is as good as it gets.
"Play ball", says the ump, to a lightning flash.
Big bats heard o'er the land, a thunder crash.
It starts raining as, out of the park, it flies.
Is it Mantle or Snider who cries?

Somber eyes in the mirror
Can't be seen any clearer
Forgive me for the damage done
I never saw my unborn son
Wasting in my own pity
Walking the land a foreign city
Death due to my conviction
My own suffering inner affliction
Lullaby of sorrow and strife
A decision made on a life
My love made form as a son
What have I done
As they pour the dirt
My heart and I share the hurt
No more constant lies
As I sit here now with somber eyes...

Dramatic Verse
Small Saudi the boy
Five years or so
And jovial the toy
Intriguing the foe
Six year he wrote
Every time a pen
A drop of flight
To land a new story
Every melody that come
Carrying the tunes of hope
The dance fuming soup
For all that knew
Saudi now stouthearted
With a promised utopia
Every ink drop debased
To quell apparent dystopia
At last a book length
Not a toy full ration
Saudi the man and gentle
For history the olfaction

Listen! Do you hear?
The trampoline springs when you jump
creak like a baby crying softly.
Do you hear?
The bars are silent when you do a skill;
but if you miss,
the bar rings like a telephone.
Do you hear?
The beam when you land a trick
thuds like a book being dropped.
Do you hear?
the floor when you dance
croaks like frogs.
Do you hear?
The vault runway when you sprint
sounds like pitter-patter, pitter-patter.
