Hate the conquer of fear

Legion among legend

Lin Lane was as sharp as a dart 
incredible at penning her art 
experienced in edit 
I Give her due credit
She could take all mistakes apart....

Those who are of like minds 
They may clatter and clash
But just like water its own level finds...

“such much about nothing”


feck and friggin to my chagrin
while trying to monorhyme like Lin
i find i’m back at square one once again
in a square root of one imaginary unit tailspin...

Love drenched,
Thirst quenched,
Heart clenched.
Desire sated,
Pain abated,
Feel elated.
Tearful fears,
Yearning sears,
Love endears.

NOT CONTEST BOUND

I used to know a poet named Lin Lane
she often walked in the thundering rain
one day she got a jolt
from a fierce lightning bolt
and now all of her poems are insane...

While reading my posts I heard some ruckle
Lin Lane thinks my comments are "honeysuckle"
I'll say this to you
It's better than poo
Methinks perhaps you are trying to truckle...

I was told to "Pack it in."

"No!" I am not a quitter.

I never give up until I win.

impudent wind flirts 
with snappy hats and long skirts
bell rings champagne squirts

Criticism of Other's
A Positive Message

Self-esteem
/
Self-worth

Should never be left up to
Nor
Decided by other's

It's more about what lurks inside

They make us fear and hide

Pride...

This scarecrow is no country bumpkin
His bottom and head are ripe pumpkin
Touch him if you dare
He’ll give you a scare
By pricking your hand with a bodkin

Methinks writing lim'ricks beneath me...
E'er they're like grinding one's teeth be...
They set one to cringing,
To moaning and whinging,
So instead this five-liner I bequeath thee....

She heard me sigh at her door
I had promised never again
But here again it was 
I held myself tight seeing her undressed
I was sorry I peeped
She was mad I run off 
I didn’t know she wanted it
I shifted to avoid it

For my  land Arkan,
The night almost over, 
soon will come the dawn.

 Relinquish all your sorrow,
 Pray to make it to tomorrow.

If you try to be one day wiser,
Your future will not get brighter.

Like the sun 
will always rise again and again,
You must not forget your all pains.

Pish Posh, I was taking a bawth round about half past three
When all of a sudden in my window I spied a man in a tree
He was leering and when
I looked back again
Pish Posh, he was gone, guess he freaked out at the size of my weenie


(Thanks to my new friend, Lin Lane)

Have sympathy for poor old Beaker
Was given away by his squeaker
     Miss Piggy he'd kissed
     "You're dead!" Kermit hissed
So raced through the set like a streaker

Dear Lin Lane,

More to Gun Control Subject

Spring is supposed to rain eternal,
Unless a weapon which is infernal,
And happens to get into their sight;
Being bothered by day and night.

Why add another worry to long list;
To write this poem could not resist;
Another bullet in chamber did clatter;
Shouldn't those dead kids lives matter?...

well if one won’t stoop to fight the devil ~ he will always condescend 

he’s further up the ladder ~ but down a manhole so let’s not pretend 

and how do I know such things ~ on any level he’s a charming friend 

one who makes empty promises ~ only the mesmerised comprehend

Best friends forever

               two bracelets, each with half a heart

      friendship ended when the tart stole my boyfriend

Tossed ~ one bracelet. Tossed ~ two friends who lost my respect. 



(For cousin Susan, who thought she had to steal everyone's boyfriend)

Guilty feeling





Her good intentions were challenged,
as we asked her to do wrongs, 
She still was holding firm faith in us,
feelings of guilt came to us haunting.

Before water could reach the head
we could find an alternate escape,
Since we were holding the thread,
that could help her safe afloat.

Cookie monster was in a foul mood
She’d found something so bad on her food
A black and white turd
Produced by big bird
When she saw him she said something lewd!


Cookie Monster was curt and concise
She don’t give folks impartial advice
My word what a bore
Her word is the law
I don’t think she is really that nice

Through sheer impulse, I was entranced 
By the beauty of rare mollusks in varied designs
Ready to be plucked , the evening my witness
When I gathered all that I had found.

A bothered conscience nailed on and on,
How could I have hurt nature which I adore?
As reparation for this lapse, I sent  hikers daily
this card, " I'm sorry for picking what's not mine."

All the buzz is justified;
If I’d said different, I’d’a lied.
A slice of history unfurled
Like nothing else that’s in the world.

Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote
The lyrics, book and every note
Of music, all in hip-hop time
With such creative, perfect rhyme.

For everyone who has the chance,
Go see it, for it will enhance
Your theater props, with bragging rights
(And more if you’ve seen “In the Heights”*).

*Lin-Manuel Miranda’s previous play...

To many numbers on the clock.
Bug eyed over my watch.
Counting every second as life goes by.
One million tear drops fall from the sky.
Can't close my eyes even if you sing me a nursery rhyme.
Can't stop the clicking of the time.

Like a nurse, a curse I hold my own pulse.
For one second my heart froze.
Kingdom come heavens done.
Out numbered by everyone.
A fatal stream for Lin~Ra the queen.
Rebellious I proceed in the hourglass of my dream....
