Sadly found himself listed lame

The lower the calories listed
And the truth is twisted
Bottom line is more moolah in their pockets...

A breakthrough was imminent,
Exhilaration ensued;
  Ships listed idly,
  The HEAVENS were still.

A press conference was called,
Adrenaline spoke well.
   Ere a headline's created
   Ought the SEA not to swell?...

Marvel at the meeting!
The mixing of friend and foe
To discern themselvs in debate
Weighing the cons and pro
The margin of error is listed
while lacking diplomacy!
Catcalls, flags and waving hands

My soul's time has come
Take me back

Tom Wright

Absent
By: Tom Wright
9-11-2019

Having never been gifted,
with a lodestar.
Public speaking,
isn’t listed in my repertoire.
So I often stammer,
while feeling red faced.
Pursuing opportunity,
to exit, post-haste.

Love is all around us, need to know where to look
There are many different kinds listed in the love book
There's love of a child
Or a pet much love you've piled

Beth Adams, I've searched for you
Your reading my poems I appreciate
My problem is I can't find you listed 
So I can say thanks.

I'll just do it this way
And let you know you are welcome
Even though I can't find your comments
God Bless, Cile...

My one and only pet peeve with this Soup of Poetry
is when I post a poem and must choose a category 
but none of the categories listed applies to my poem or me.
I'll categorize this one under "Family"
since "Self" is not one of Poetry Soup's categories....

Day A Week Devoted

My mind had been completely exploded
Library with books was found to be loaded;
Some readers in their teens
Thumbing through magazines;
Read books a day a week has been devoted.
