Do good for the good
Not mentioning this kindness
Is treasure alone...

What I don’t know; the list is even longer....

Many musicians make music,
Musical melodies mimic magnificent messages.
Mostly material mentioning meaningful moments,
Masterpieces march merrily.
Millionaire music makers....

Was suspended from Community College
4 x
VP asked if I’ll stop mentioning God…
Answered “nope”

Have to suspend you
VP said it will be longer this time
From a year to 3 years
2010 to 2013, “I accept”...

They come prancing in, all excited
Because their parent has arrived 
To take them home early

I keep my mouth wisely shut
Not mentioning the dentist
The doctor or the Covid shot

Knowing their idea of a trip to Disney World
is not happening...

Self interest abandons us all
Politicians on the make
shades of muddied truth
flicker like worm casts 
Information over lorded,
lingering secret conversations
in dusty corridors
The consequences need no mentioning
The reasons I can no longer comprehend...

Falling

Always longing

I hear the calling

What we call reality

Is nothing more than a fantasy

An illusion spinning round & round

I'll never fit in

I dream of things I can't explain

Life is a mysterious puzzle

I question

Never mentioning how I truly feel....

Persuaded by a gypsy imposter to have my Tarot read 
There were two cards missing from her Tarot deck
She hadn't figured out which ones yet
Didn't seem to be important
Mentioning it was all bull anyway
Although there was one event in my future 
she was sure of
I was still going to have to pay....

I have many koalifications,
Numbed by gum leaves, stupefaction,
Glazed by arid summer drought,
Real hot today, there's no doubt,
What's this? Black storm clouds?
Who said clouds were allowed?
Now there's rain a'drenching,
Oh, it's stopped, not worth mentioning,
There's a eucalyptus petrichor,
I'll daze now, did it rain at all?...

PHELPS THE TENSION
THAT SHE STEERS TO SPEAK
NOT REALLY KNOWING WHAT TO SAY
IT BARES MENTIONING
AND THRU FURTHER SIGNALING
IF WHATS SPOKEN IS TO
HAVE IT'S WAY.
WHO SEE'S LIKE LOVERS
THE EXPRESSIONS OF THOUGHTS
THAT ARE WORDED
AND SPOKEN IN DISPLAY
MIGHT THAN SHOULD WE MENTION
TO HAVE ONLOOKERS ATTENTION
TO BRING SUDLEY TO WHAT YOU SHOULD SAY....

Bass on conversation
a groovey thyme by all.
green leaves of summer
are the brown leaves of fall
This is worth mentioning
coring apples was boring
I was happiest at it's end
The crumbs and the edges
 are the sweetest parts
the crispy flakey crust
we turned into tarts
smiles all around
as we taste
The sauce the sauce
the intro to the sauce
a creamy, almondie,Honey
triff....

How long does a battery last 


A square flat thing
Just under his skin
It will give him more years 
If he takes his lukewarm milk
Every morning 
Eats tasteless food all savoury 
Extracted
Leaving behind bland vitamins 
Or he can join a club where people 
Find their illnesses 
Endlessly  fascinating as a subject.
Be optimistic everyday and
Do not show bad form by 
Mentioning death...

Keister and Easter

Will have to get off my kind keister; 
Write some more poems after Easter;
What I found in poem to be surprising 
was there was no mentioning of arising. 

Many problems we may have to face;
Kids left egg shells all over the place,
And after more and more surmising
Christ's death started a civil up rising.

Jim Horn

Wow. Five limericks in one hour.
Can you beat that?...

For twelve years Edwin had fought stroke
And its drugs made sure he was broke,
Caring wife set to lift the yoke:
Passionate pleas to move a folk,
Rose mentioning his being 'Nice Bloke',
Who could crack a rib-bursting joke...

And to the call the world awoke:
Female toad's response to male croak...
Vocal wife to her spouse the coke,
That would a refinancing stoke,
And her reacquaint with egg yolk....

When the heart seeks understanding
When the heart shows true passion
Yet aware, taking the gift of caring
"with a dull ear"
In a distance
The blade glistened
as your package arrived on time
Say they "a madman to degree"
To lose thy hearing for thee!
Yet left behind
a masterpiece
"can you hear me"?

She screamed,
She weeped....

Thanks for mentioning Van Gogh in your write today, John R. ~I did something with it! :)...

She opened her daughter's laps
She was counting the number
Of pedestrians that have walked
The path barefooted.
She finally touched something
& the girl screamed.
She was mentioning names now.
My name echoed across the room.
The mother raised her head
& looked, stormed.
I was their gardener, I weeded
Every unwanted grass around
Their home.
But I did not touch her
She only watched my body from
The window & let a dildo
Do the magic....

Her left side is very ivory white
Her right side is almost cobalt black
She has silky smooth metallic skin
I try to stay on her best side
What ever skin she is in

She is naturally bald
She has depth and width
Her length is not worth mentioning
I try to stay away from conversations
Regarding the planets we are visiting

One eye is green
One eye is purple
We travel together
Indiscriminately
Intergalactic-ally
In discriminating circles...

Lead me, love with your grasping hand to a beautiful, lonely place
you envisioned in your vivid dream;
I will follow you while your long dress flaps in the rising, bluish haze
penetrated by a luminous moonbeam.


My hope is that this secret, as any other, is kept forever,
never mentioning it to anyone...wouldn't a true lover
refuse to answer this question when they ask, " Where have you been? "
We'll return to relive another night spent by the luminescent ocean....

the past recedes and what
was once a tsunami
of energy, exaltation and intent
or a depression of sadness and despair
play out into waves and troughs
of remembrance,
to ripples of recognition,
to a becalmed sea.
So too,
your resolve to remember always,
that awesome victory,
or deathly loss,
dampens down,
to the day you find that
you haven't thought of it
for years,
and now the details are
caricatures and cartoons that
you feel guilty and petty
for even mentioning....
