To write my poem took a while;
Should have seen her big smile;
Another year add;
Was not so bad;
Spread so wide at least a mile.

Guess they won’t need any rainfall for at least a hundred years

You're a terrible friend,
you let me bleed, you made me bend.
Still, i pine for you, 
because at least a brick wall
is better to run to than nothing at all....

The sport I love is Hide and Seek
I try to hide for at least a week
I hide when her mom comes by
If not I would surely die
I know she's close when (it) starts to speak...

a young author of east asian wit
had a bad tendency to forget
seems a self-centered one line haiku has at least a problem or two
so he wrote monokus for a bit

Writing poems in the algorithmic sands
Washed away by rippling waves on unseen sands
hoping in my drowning one will save me
Or at least a kindly reader someday “fave” me.

For my cry
to my unveiled sadness
that someone  wrap me up
in a warm embrace...
for this life
dark shaded,
a sun of joy,
or a candle stump
that if it doesn't heat up,
at least a little lightens...!...

There's never been two snowflakes alike
Whoever came up with this one can go fly a kite
Of the trillions since
Saw at least a couple of twins
With these astronomical odds, a few might see the light...

If you want to stop smoking, you should seek counseling from me.
I have a lot of experience in that category.
Not smoking is sort of a hobby of mine.
I'm an expert on the subject. I've stopped at least a million times....

Poor Mr. Colin Kaepernick
Claims America is racist, inegalitarian and sick
  His professional football contract only pays him $11.4 million
  Though his clear-eyed grasp of the issues makes him worth at least a billion...

I have a chance
(if things pan out)
to climb the local ladder.
Assistant to a Laureate
in poetic matters. 

Wish me luck,
at least a fall that
leaves me writing better;
but if I fly,
cheer me on
earning all my letters....

Free is the price, of a dream, 
The future is ripe, don’t you see. 

Formulate it all, to a tee,
Don’t make a mistake, you see: 

Sow twice as hard 
To reap least a half, 

Dreams will always be free, 
From mine to yours to ours....

Living with a heart that's warm...
Looking for a page not worn...
Lighting in a sky with no sound...
Lifting teardrops when a hearts not found...
Loving words that shout for miles...
Last but not least, a poet who can always make me smile......

Comical how the squirrels are frolicking
In the leaves that have covered the ground
At least a dozen of them merrily rollicking
Nipping and chasing each other all around
Their eager playfulness is so astonishing.

Life is a simple math
Matter of simple calculations
Life needs a strait path
With wisdom not speculations
But who is not at least a little bit psychopath?
Even God’s life is not so smooth
That’s why it seems so difficult
So much effort is wasted even by God!...

My life has been folded over
  at least a hundred times

With twilight comes exposure
  and a reckoning sublime

Each crease a thing I’d never done
  each fold a place I’d hide

Now one by one the truth unwraps
 —my secrets open wide

There hasn't been
a fly, wasp, or mosquito 

For quite some time, now,
making it rather vexing 

To diss in rhyme 
about local pests, 

Though, at the very 
least-a, our Cuban anoles 

Are guests in Havana 
until after Easter. 

That's where they went 
to observe Lent....

We built a chinkless wall
Without blueprints at all.
We did not pause to think
About this wall of ours,
As stone by stone it rose
Above our tiptoed eyes.

Trash piled up on both sides
Of what our labor laid;
Yet, at least, a rose climbs,
Prideless,
Upon this moss-grown side....

I have seen a red sunset at least a thousand times
I've watched how the Northern lights play in the winter skies
And I have heard it all described within a poets rhymes
But I'd never seen Bobbie Ann bat those big brown eyes
Now the world is upside down when I prioritize

Who is it you're trying to please 
by meddling with such trivialities
Now you're fixin what isn't broken
and ignoring those who've spoken

What priorities are of value to you
seem to be usless to at least a few
people who see no need for change
those who find it weird and strange...
