Premium Member Within

A distant star,
your hopes are pinned,
so far away.

Your trust, misplaced,
in deep spaced faith;
embrace - within.

Oh, those darned things are
Never there when I need them!
Always somewhere else.
Usually left idle
In that moment I forget.

Surrounded by clowns
In a circus she's running
Wearing no make-up
You become the misplaced one
Flagged as a mere bystander

  who's misplaced his elan

Confused

confused?

misplaced love,
unrequited love 

new friends,
lost lovers 

lost lovers, 
old friends

when will this race end?
no one knows.

When planted in a sunny place,
Those planted in the shade
Soon look miserable and fade
Sad because they are misplaced.

with the past
my toes became

With every fawned

Paddington Episode

In Paddington, shoes left on the ground,
Alien signs? The rumors spun 'round.
But with earthly reason,
No alien's season,
Just misplaced footwear, lost and found!

Premium Member Egregiously Misplaced Mercy

     When you force Mr. Zelinsky
        to feed the Putineers who’ve bulldozed Ukraine. 

     That’s when I’ll pressure Israel
        to give Hamas’ Gazastanis more grain

Matching like-minded zones
Multiple kindred cones
Myriad tribal bones
Misplaced grammar atones
Marriage of stars and stones
Mosaic blended tones
Merry musical thrones

Premium Member Kumquat

Rush to my house I have kumquats, you said
They're ripe, moist and sweet, I'm right here in bed
An eager beaver, I raced
But my high hopes were misplaced
Your spouse was eating your kumquat instead

Wondering Dervish

Forced me into the birdcage, nervous while plundering
The lash around my neck, result of blundering
Awakened my wrath, vigorous equally thundering
Misplaced under the tent, pretense of a dervish wondering.

Reclaimed

In me search for understanding I came to know not what I sought.
My past and present tribulations amount to nothing in the end.
Blinded I was.
But now I can see.
It was only misplaced, and now reclaimed.

Words On the Run

Poetic intention,
hiding in Prose

Misplaced and misspoken,
as every Bard knows

A narrative run on,
words littered about

Neither beauty nor truth
—masked in self doubt

Not Quite Lost

Another book misplaced,
another search through piles 
of bills. My car keys dis-
and reappeared. Was it 
the cat who hid my glasses?
Why, here’s that memo
I’ve been missing!
How things get shifty
with the years.
