The Right Direction

Her license plate read, "Look Up"  
Heaven blessed her dirty tires 
As she rolled along highways 
Clinging to her faith

Angel of Love

Life’s blood out of stone
the old veins penetrated
yet fears losing you,
a renewal a license
for happiness oh so late!

Dawn Arrives

Birds wake with the dawn
Early starters in the light
With license to sing
They mingle mirth by themselves
Wind and wings hum as mute elves

To All Users of AI

To all users of A.I. I say,
while I write with my OWN brain each day,
I find you pathetic.
Your license poetic
should be canceled and taken away.

meltdown madness

We might as well stamp license plates
Government work makes us inmates
When assigned tasks inane
In asylums insane
We'll search for retirement dates

Time Hunter

Words of malice, curses flamed, 
hiding in the past

No license needed to hunt through time
—the present armed en masse

No

I wish license for marriage,
had to be renewed,
every year,
or maybe two.

When the notice comes,
to pay your dues,
I think this year,
No is what I choose.

Anna the Bandit

Anna the bandit and shady jane
set out to rob a railroad train.
So, they went for the gold.
Then botched the escape.
In for ten, no parole,
Makin license plates.

Lapse - Mar 4

A loathsome lecher lurks along the long,
Lightless ledge, looking to lure a lost lamb
To lewd license, liquor, and lowlife lurch—
To the lesser lying league and layer.

A Roadside Scene

Economic curve
Sliding down 
Mushroom-like umbrellas
Springing up
Somewhat blocking the street 
Drawing crowds
To buy the cheapest 
Goods and wares 
Without license or tax

Poetic License

A poet in search of his muse
Tried to find her by choosing to booze;
Far from what he desired
The poor fellow expired--
So be careful which boozing you choose!

If I Died Finally

If I died
Would you keep my memory
Alive
Or would you slip
Into that wide abyss
I must have love
To curtail the greed
And the license
That won’t stay
In your arms
I feel free
Finally

The Man

In shackles, the angler stands accused,
His reel now silenced, dreams diffused.
Caught by the law, his freedom at stake,
No fish to take home, just fines to be paid.
An unlicensed cast, is the price he pays.
