Jumping on a trampoline
Falling off could be quite mean!
Jumping up with leaps and bounds
Oh how fun that really sounds!

     When ’43’ comes around
         take it by leaps and bounds

     plopping down ‘midst marshmallow grounds
        the bunnies advanced by leaps and bounds

     ahead of the hounds who the marshmallows found

Premium Member Beyond Injustice’s Reach

They deployed the force and unleashed the hounds

Yet their troubles grew by leaps and bounds

Through the chase I stayed unseen

Slipped through the cracks and stayed clean

Now I’m a shadow no one surrounds

Premium Member Mankind and Delusion

marvels of science
by leaps and bounds
yet no cure for cancer
or for basic problems
of poverty, starvation
and injustice

seriously !
do we expect we would
do notably better 
at a colony on Mars?

Premium Member Could Robots Rule the World

YES... I believe they surely will With progress man has made in recent years The technology has moved ahead To such a degree in leaps and bounds Decades ago, only the far thinking man Had not considered such advances But now without a doubt it's our destiny

The Secret Person of My Heart...

Leaps and bounds from a former state,
Will it ever be enough?
Not now, for I still hesitate.
Swaying by the line, unable to move,
Your impatience impedes me,
Will my fears you disprove?
In the absence of hope I'm slowly drowning,
Here silently screaming, 
But the days you keep counting.

Sew

Missing in leaps and bounds 
Freeness
Money can't buy
Word tree
Leaves falling
Giving space
No chase
Choosing the right passage
Forming a need passed
The flow saying
Block defeat 
Sprout the postive buds
Building new house
Windows open now
Freshness of movement returned

Premium Member The Gardens of My Mind

Listen to poem:
lurking ghostly
come the mist
hope meanders
in darkness
of frail dreams

while in the gardens
sundrenched colors
sway my mind
in leaps and bounds
where frolic butterflies
in endless flowered fields

precious time frivolously spent
wisely in the playground of my mind

Premium Member She Comes To Conquer

popping and kicking
snarling with an insatiable rage
reveling in her destruction

she glows red
then fades into slivers of gray
smolderingly sneaky

her power not fully understood
she has started out small
but increases in leaps and bounds

the woods glows red
swept under her orange cloak
of destruction
Form: Haiku

My Ride

These obstacles are high
     the leaps and bounds exhausting
Yet your challenge is the bit I bite 
    to tear away your percieved control.

I am the force of will who knows no master.
    I am the beast to ravage all oppressors.

My muscles tremble my fervour grows
    And my freedom will over throw.
 
Let loose your reigns and see how high I soar.

Premium Member Earthling

Eye of the sky mountain
  Amidst frozen dreams of storm
Restless winds strain
  Towers over lands and sandstorm
Hidden cove under the sunrise
  Leaps and bounds  over pumpkin spice 
In one's eyes are marvels of time 
  Nightingales sob on crushed ice
Ghosts of fallen trees linger and chime

New as it sounds
  older than B-32
Howling winds since 1932...

Premium Member Children At Play

Children rise with sleepy eyes

While the moon and stars are yawning

Sunrise sounds with leaps and bounds

As another new day dawning

Watch them play all through the day

Till their energy expended

Mother's there with love and care

And her open arms extended

With dinner bells and bedtime tales

And no vigor left to borrow

The day is done neath setting sun

Children soon dream of tomorrow

Premium Member Loving the Snow

I love the snow grandma said with feeling.
It makes me happy said her grandson, Greeling.
The more it fell, the happier they became.
Cocoa! Said grandma. Greeling yelped “Monopoly game!”

School was cancelled, so they stayed inside cozy and fine.
Park Place and Boardwalk gave grandma a really hard time.
Greeling was winning by giant leaps and bounds.
I hope the snow never stops! Said grandma, who owned two hounds.

Premium Member Sultry Summer

Summer sallies in blazing hot
Gentle in approach it is not
Chilly Spring winds soon forgot

Scorching sun off cooling soil steams
Warming all the rivers and streams
Melting core of soft snow dreams

Songbirds practice their choral sounds
Joined by grasshoppers’ leaps and bounds
Insects build their own playgrounds

Chirruping crickets call their mates
Flowerbeds fill with garden snakes
Sweltry nights no heat abates

Finding a Oneness With Thyself

Finding a oneness  in thyself 

Written By Dean Masciarelli

October 11, 2010 (10:41am)


Finding a oneness in thyself

So that my life can have
more meaning and purpose
and ultimately true self worth;

Has been challenging in itself

But through leaps and bounds
across this earth;
and simple acts of kindness

I have taken 
everything 
off of the shelf 

Because I have learned
how 
to smile; and reward myself

Ac In Arizona

Lord only knows how the settlers survived
When in Arizona's desert they arrived

I visited there in late November
And the piercing heat I still remember

Air conditioning's great invention
Brought to this state renewed attention

The population grew by leaps and bounds
Many homes were built on the sandy mounds

"There's no humidity," some still will say
Yet none survive without AC each day



(AC stands for air conditioning)

SiS(tribute)

Strange it probably sounds
 But never one is she too dis
When lonliness doing the rounds
 If l'm ok, never going on premise

 When maddness overwhelms
Never leaving me to go a miss
When l'm in leaps and bounds
Making any atmosphere bliss

Through the ups and the downs
She has always been there my sis
The only one who never frowns
All l can do is thank her for this


At little tribute two sisters dawn and donna written june july 2023

Premium Member Why I fell for you

Silky black hair, eyes so blue.
I get goosebumps being with you
A smile that makes the room so bright
My dreams of you all through the night

The laughter that brightens up your face
Being with you my heart starts to race
The wings behind you on the wall 
The angelic features that say it all

The charm and charisma soot you best
You are leaps and bounds above the rest
The moral standards you hold so true
These are the reasons I fell for you

Poem For That Lindsay

She floats about on dancer toes
She spins and splits 
          and dips and flows
She glides and tips 
          She hops and lifts
She twirls and tucks 
          then stops and ducks
She moves around 
          in leaps and bounds
and flies aloft 
         (but comes back down)
It's true! 
         That Lindsay loves to please
She knows her art implicitly
For if you ask, 
          she needs not guess
Her pirouette 
          from arabesque!

Premium Member ABUNDANCE

Abundance comes in leaps and bounds
From Nature’s waters and its grounds
The air is filled with fowl as meat
And love is found in garden and street

The notes of the music of the universe
Are everywhere for one to hear
In forest depths or outer space
If one is deaf it really is perverse

Flowers once planted can seed themselves
And wealth increases by itself with time
God’s love grows stronger every day
With each and every prayer of gratitude you say
.

Stephen

Stephen

Stephen is my youngest grandson, so far.
Terrific little newborn that sleeps well
Even though he is the youngest, Stephen (III) in the family, he gets the “Big Name”! 
Practically perfect in every way… (As Mary Poppins might say!)  Oh, He is perfect.
He is growing bigger and stronger by leaps and bounds. 
Everyday he brings happiness to the family.
Now, we are watching him grow into his personality.

Bad News Travels Fast

Bad news likes to travel fast,
Much quicker than the good
And you can’t stop it even if
You pause to knock on wood.

It’s like a snowball, growing as
It barrels down a hill,
Unstoppable and uncontrolled
As oil from a spill.

Through phone or text or face to face
The knowledge makes its rounds,
For once the news is negative
It spreads by leaps and bounds.

Technology can’t take the rap
For even in the past,
When something bad took place, that news
Would always travel fast.
