Short Niceties Poems

A beautiful, caring daughter
Eager, farming girl, hardworking.
If justice knows life, may niceties overflow.
People quarrell reasons, sounded though unspoken
verily will x your zion....

N atural niceties
A ffectionate afterthoughts in the afternoon

U nderstanding the unseen
R epeated splendidness in the morning mist
E ssential oxygenated environment...

To get Ukraine the jets it needs
  It's past time to pay niceties any heed

Just smuggle them to Zelenskyy now
  Before bureaucrats can even say 'How?'

And when all the virtue signalers complain
  Tell 'em their tongues are dripping blood again...

Beyond this present I see
Open me gently
Tape me closed so no one will find me
My wish is inside of me

Place your bow upon me
Wrap me tight
Guess and wish, but know
I love you

A ring maybe but
I only wish to be
With you!
That’s is, my Christmas wish

Through
blood stained aeons
religions
tiding astronomical
assuring
the birth of the sun

Shines
the near dead
seasonally depressed
atheist

Glowing

It sure is nice
to celebrate
with everyone

How you know it's over

You spend most
Of your time
Dreaming of how 
To get away from
The niceties of normal.
How not to shock 
Them
When you cut
Thru
Your throat
Or run
Until you hear the snap
Of the noose of the rope
On your neck 
And you don't have to pretend
You were ever happy 
Ever going to fit in 
Ever really felt 
Ok with who you were
 all.
That's reality....

Loud discussions never categorized as arguments
Spoken at a register unheard of on most days
Come to fruition here
All that is said falling between a purple unicorn and a 4.2 on the Richter scale
Either niceties to the point of unbelievability
Or disaster to the point of collapsibility
Exchanging highly charged words packaged inside cheerful familial wrappings
The unspoken tradition lives on

Merry Christmas...

A Bearded Cat
Dancing Energetically Found
Generous Helpers imagining 
Jealous kittens languishing meaningfully.
Never ostentatious private queries 
rendered sassy tales united vivaciously 
with ‘xact youthful zestiness.

Zany yeti ‘xtraordinary wisdom visualized
under true scholastic reality quickly 
paid ordinary niceties many libations.
Killing joyful imagery hereby granting
federal enthusiasm during catastrophic

The rift
They say comes from deep
within.
But I beg to differ
Isn’t pink a compromise between
red and white?
At times even slightly
approaching lavender?
So why should it not
make a concession?
An indulgence
A consideration for the niceties
of the heart.
Dear pink alloy
So pure yet so imprudent.
Or is it that the alloy which was
refuses to acknowledge the alloy
which could become?
How my heart yearns for
your sweet fragrance!

Spread your petals and
Bid me inhale....

Been off work since twelve nineteen
Should be happy
Some say
But I don't look at it that way
I know in the back of my mind
The work on my desk is piling up
You would think
A co-worker would help me out
But every year
They don't have the holiday spirit
And never go near it
So instead of enjoying my time off
I calendar watch
Dreading that first day to back
After the holidays

Bah! Humbug!

I rather die than just pass
away from boring days to fabled prayers,
I rather live my life today
as if I never cared.

I hope you understand my fears,
shattered for seven years,
in this plain of existence, 
I'm jeered.

I feel shards of niceties 
prick my skin, 
in most unfavored ways, 
merely on a whim.
Blood flows, 
heart breaks, 
mind is born-again.

I know the frame of life sits in the pane,
and the light is bright enough to blind.
Yet on I shine...
shameless as a piece of glass....
