A gift for my new pet giraffe
Well I tried and I tried
Persevered till I cried
But I finally managed a scarf...

As if one is trapped within a beautiful dream.
It makes one’s shell want to explode and scream
Lights make for a deceiving sight....

An innovative statistician was she.

Turnips are delicious,
Turmeric is tasty:
Tartlets are officious,
Truffles make for hasty
Toss-ups. It seems vicious,
Turbot served in pasty
Titbits. It’s pernicious!

Comfort zones 
never make for 
greatness'
live outside the box

follow your gut
and most of all
your heart because
your mind will
always run you
in circles....

I dreamt of playing golf in Covid times
I cannot play actually as virus confines
Bereft of clubs we threw our balls
Ignoring fairways they hit tree walls
Lost balls make for stiff golfing crimes.

I will live for you
My life is complete now

Such a love so uncomprehending 
Enriching my mind and body 
Choices i now make for you 
Original most gracious mighty savior
Now mold me to be like you
Do it now my Lord...

Sometimes, in life, you are the windshield
And, sometimes, you are the bug

But, tears make for a wonderful windshield washing fluid
To cleanse the surface
And allow us to continue our journey forward...

Japanese artist Ogawa Kasumasa
found European fame from a far
His Iris make for visual bliss
stark still life simplicity not to miss*

Calling me a turkey, doesn't make for good friends
Tend to take offense and things get quite tense
Shy away from a fight
But try as I might
Self-preservation wins out, run like hell bumping into that fence...

That moment when
You find your boyhood heroes
Were not heroes
But just more drunks
Who'd talk your ear off in a bar
Before going outside
To make for themselves
A bed beneath the ground.

My favorite vegetable
It's nutritious and delicious 
Used in sinigang and adobo
Good to make for soup too
It's easy to farm and produce
Less maintenance and less work
A short crop but has long harvest
A sustainable source of business too....

Don't scream about equality.
Life's unfair, that's reality.
Just do the very best you can
to be a truly worthy man.

Productive work and mind said Marx,
beget the humanizing sparks.
Self-worth and self-respect, said Rand,
can make for ouselves a better land!...

A thousand words could decorate 
Each mile that separates us, 
And a thousand more could never
Replicate the world you make for me.

I’ll always offer more than words,
So you will always be aware 
That I love the very bones of you;
I love their white ferocious snow....

Salvage Trip


Melancholy shook her hips when she saw his little ship
A four seater didn't exactly make for an exciting trip
Still she shrugs all a board
Ship ahoy on his slight sword
Ships a sea twenty waves "have we embarked" she quips

Light and airy.
Fast and scary.
Tones are up.
Beat is down.
Wondering what made that sound.
No instrument I can play,
that would make for a good day.
Yet, I hear that sound roll over
in my head,
playing again and again
like a carpenter's thread....

You come and you go
Walking on the road I make for you
You know.
You don’t look behind
See the footprints you leave for me
I find.
You sleep and you swim
Floating on the fantasy I make for you
You dream.
You don’t sink in the heart still
Recognize the love you make for me
I feel....

Just to let all you folks know
  that my good old keyboard's kaput
Can't f'gure out the reason why
  but eye (Gershon) can't type the letter eye

So for the next few days, an eye
  or an apostrophe w'll have to do
My poems may be sl'ghtly obtuse
  As Eye make for th's keyboard a noose...
