Premium Member Black Crayons

grandson favors the black crayon
he always picks it first out of the lineup
even his rainbows have thick strips of black
to him black crayons matter.


Premium Member A Tall Glass of Kool-Aid

I'm feeling a bit down, wish I was lying on the sand With a tall glass of Kool-Aid and a young sweetie at hand Not young anymore Can't buy youth at the store If we could, there's be a lineup from here to Afghanistan

Premium Member On the Sideline

What
are we all
doing here
on the sideline

damaged
needing repair
in a lineup
getting processed
waiting for a tuneup

our turn thru the puppy mill
longing to rush back
pick up the pace
speed spinning
our hamster wheel

Premium Member The Kiss

eagerly waiting his turn
pacing in the lineup
planned his strategy
his heart thumping

got to the kissing booth
puckered up his best pucker
for her lips so tender

he couldn’t resist
offered to pay double
for his guilty nibble

Yesterday


It is full of mixed terrors,
Musing in past few errors...
To loose today to rumors,
And morrow one of her consumers.

Let yesterday rest,
Of her past quests,
For morrow's best,
Forms today's undying conquests.

It is cool to raise cup,
Cum wins fear wallop,
Before changes lineup...
Real cheers growing lasting backup.

Let yesterday sleep!
Her weary hole deep,
And stop yet to weep,
For morrow's coming glory on its leap...

Premium Member Pain is Strange

pain is strange
its range
you can walk

it inhibits
how fast
more than that

it hurts
now I get it
no one knows

but the soul
who lumbers
along

I look and see
all the other bumblebees
and my buzz

resounds
in my own
head

it’s not
that no one
cares

it’s more
that so many
are limping

you only notice
when
you have

the same
ailment
oh boy, age

is deranged
arrange yourself
in the lineup

point
  point
   point

what’s the point
“OUCH!”
