perfections,
               delicate
as gossamer:
the poignant
              preserve
of a finite heart

mandated...yet
stricken
     with a yearning
....so
        unatainable

Regrets

Registered voices polled
election tide Red 
getting their collective way.
Reaping, now what they sowed. 
Excited delirium mandated
targets, tariff topping. Tempted
serendipity. Look at you now

Premium Member The Critic

The Critic By: Tom Wright 8/7/2006 The critic not revealing to me a face I acknowledge not and give no voice. While from shadows he leaves no trace His actions are mandated by choice.

Big Brother, Is the Rat Haiku: by Tom 1/11/2022 We’re told get the jab. Like a Lab Rat, we’ve no say. Big Brother knows best. Have had both shots and booster on advice from my cardiologist. I wasn’t mandated. Tom

Falling Off the Sky

Life on Earth was marvellous
It lifted me high in the sky
Explorations around I made 
Happiness was at apex

Mandated to fall off, I got shaky
The world altered thoroughly
Thorns have developed in all lands
Will the prickles blunt one day?

Sunny Day Men Number 32 and 6

Well, they’ll mandate ya when you’re in the health department

They’ll  mandate ya when you’re in the education department

They’ll  mandate ya when you work for the government

They’ll  mandate ya when you’re trying to get something to eat

But I would not feel such a bot

ah, everybody must get mandated.

Unconventional War......

Demi-gods,directives in whispers
pact made in secrecy,done indiscreetly

Originally defiled,by those whom beguiled
enslave those of light,to serve their might

Brood of the past in constant war
mandated slaughter of each,'till no more

Nature of nature in opposition
each in force gaining position...........

Premium Member Snoop All You Want

boring meeting.
faculty
we have them weekly
every Wednesday it takes me an extra ten
or twenty-five minutes to get home
mandated 
Even though it usually talks about
teaching math and reading
I teach neither
I begin to write poetry
A co-worker asks, “What are you writing?”
it is about her. She glances at it.
but can read nothing.
I am glad I know shorthand.

Mandated By Another's Maxim

Side stepping love's starfish sun bathing about, time's shores....
While amoeboid parasites these sponges in resilient, take up residence
Atop her capital hill; residuum's resonant evil kismet's, true, liverwort lobbyist 
Waterspout gargoyles autism's algae tortuous angleworms this, immoral's realities ?
Shuttered truths antipodes their view; his shad's tenement tete-a-tete's, voodoo virtuosity.

Oh, Limitations

Confined potential.
Reinforced by “they”.
We dream endlessly,
And inside clocks.
Like God whispered infinity into a loop.

Malleable futures 
Mandated into walls and calendars.

Gear is stuck in reverse.
And it beeps when I put it in drive.

Soft socks
And quiet footsteps—
I float past the plagiarism
To find the hook with diamond bait,
The fish with golden gills.
A treasure untouched.

Premium Member Fatherhood


Fathers are familiar with their children

Attitudes of responsility are mandated

Teaching is best learned from modeling

Heaven painted  perfect fatherhood pictures

Every action and word should be weighed

Respect can be demanded when earned

Heroes of children should be their parents

Offering prayers for our children is a must

Obligations to kids should never be a chore

Dedicated fathering is to train and give our best
