Short Now And Again Poems

an aging celebrity Penn
will every now and again
demand our attention
he'll build up the tension
he just never knows to say when....

A once esteemed party was fain
To  cry ‘Racist!’ again and again
Not now and again
But NOW and AGAIN
Til it made neural paths in their brain...

Through the long winters up in Maine
Her virtue she aims to maintain
Though she tries best to cope
On a slippery slope
She slips and falls now and again...

I had a tasty cock-a-doodle stew 
Now I crow at dawn as cockerels do
I pulled a sweet hen 
And now and again 
We dine on an omelette made for two....

Escaped from pain
Brains flying trying
To define myself
Now and again rewind
to a time where you 
raged like a fire 
a burning desire 
trapped but the animal
encaged strayed away
please my lost treasure 
come back to me...

Today was yesterday once
It is tomorrow somewhere
The past to someone
The present to many
It was the future to all
Today is now and again, to dwell in, be arrested by, to succumb to
Today is to be

How do we know if we do all
Things big and small
Now and again
For fellow men

Is it enough to care, not act?
A helping pact
Should be our creed
When we see need

Look for more ways to help others
Sisters, brothers
Strangers or not
Mankind's whole lot...

Every now and again 
I get to grab a pen 

Words begin to flow
Like a damn bursting from my soul

My thoughts and dreams 
The world as it seems

All erupt on this page 
Calming my silent rage

Though it be a sin
    You never get a chance 
To live again...

In my dreams I relive moments of the past
snatches of images clouded with sounds
to see a face I once knew- once loved
now and again I just want to forget
resent the invasion of my dreams
the dream is but a dream
but the memory is real
and the pain like a stone in my heart....

Every now and again, the sun shines without interruption
Every now and again, a cloud rains without prediction
Every now and again, the moon glows without darkness
Every now and again, the wind blows showing us the way
Our destiny is revealed everyday, your decision defines you...

A Boat
How come people buy a boat and don`t take it to float?
It sits in the yard and people go by and gloat.
Why don`t they ever take out that boat?
Hum-mm, I wish I had that nice boat.
What you don`t understand is even the boat wants to go float.
Cause everybody needs to get their bottom`s wet, now and again....

Higher consciousness can be attained through chanting.
"OM" is a popular chant within many a religion,
including but not limited to Jainism, Hinduism and Buddhism.
I do my share of chanting now and again,
but I don't chant "OM," I chant "Amen"
a chant that while chanted can also sung,
Amen, Amen, over and over again....

Jump into nothing
Jump into space
Jumping is something
We all have to face

Hold your breath
Once in a while
Hold your breath
When your life is on trial

Face the truth
Now and again
Before it takes your youth
And what might've been

Jumping is something
We all have to face 
Jump into nothing
Jump into space...

Sing for a child
Hum a learning melody

Walk for a child
Pave a road they know but must learn how to take for themselves

Run for a child
Show them even the elders must flee now and again

Talk for a child
Teach them the humbleness a tongue can create

Love for a child
Reciprocate their heart for it is pure and never dies...

Play with pleasure,
Opt for the best;
Ink sure measure,
Glimpse treasured zest;
Now and again,
Align pure heart;
Niche cheery strains,
Taste bounty's start.
Expect great sights,
Charm leads the way;
Heed profound light,
Observe fine sway;
Each on a trip,
Sense pulse that skips.

Feel Lonely sometimes
Now and again 
For one reason 
Or another 
Sometimes 
For no apparent
Reason at all
Can't stand that 
Feeling 
Want to ride 
My heart of that
Sad feeling all 
Together 
Why do I still 
Feel lonely 
Without you
I shouldn't still
Feel this way 
But I still do 
Find myself 
Feeling lonely
Without  you 
Around...

Dogs howl, people also,
that moonful yowl is a sustaining thread,
a link to soul.

Most folks beat the bushes
looking for God knows what?

Only those who've done with howling
get it -got it - know it -
they've got that sustaining thread,

even so, now and again,
everyone’s still got to bay a bit,

just like any other dawg,
even so.

I am a freak

I am a freak

I am always a freak

Now, and again, I'm always here
And I know I am to be blamed
I don't deny that you will hate me one day
When that time comes
It will never be the same again

Just hope you accept me for who I am
Just hope you will understand

I am a freak

I am a freak

I am always and always be a freak...

With one foot over the side
of the tub and the other 
stirring the luke warm water,

my big toe inches towards the
busy drain, both my sins and
accomplishments swirling

to a place I can only imagine
my fish would enjoy and I
wonder if this is the sort of

thing Bukowski meant when
he said that we should reward 
ourselves with a candy-ass poem

now and again....

Listening it is a hard skill in which to learn
It not all just about what you are hearing
Sometime things are said but not spoken 
To hide how someone is actually feeling
Emotions cannot hide our spoken words
Not to often do we reveal our thoughts
It easier to let folks think everything is ok
Now and again it our action which reveals
Gaps in our communication that we hearing...

Sometimes I look for you at night,
And every now and again I wonder what you look like
or what are you doing while I write. 

Once in a while, I take long walks 
And I think of you.

Sometimes I wish I knew your name 
Or the city in which you live
Occasionally, while I look through the window,
I picture you in my mind.

Once in a while, when the rain wets my thoughts, 
I dream of you....

Today it seems to be about others rights.
Our minds have set out for certain fights.
Listen, I never want to intrude on you.
Everyone has rights, this is indeed true.
Reality, we cannot meet every ones desires.
After all some ones rights will be lost in fires.
Now and again we have to give into nature.
Creating acceptance for certain nomenclature,
Even we need to tolerate, our fellow human creature....

I hold it out for you; it's waiting, it's ready
to take hold of your hand and help keep you steady

Rise up from the floor now and again take your place
in the world that awaits you, a smile on your face

You are well on the way now, to where you can be
no waiting, no wanting, for now you are free 

You've risen above what made you feel incomplete,
feel proud of yourself, now the world's at your feet...

...you're wrong
I'm far from complicated...
just moody
In a snap I go from light to dark
{the minnow and the shark..}
I'm very simple actually
I like:
a good meal-a crisp solitary hike
a good debate without the hate
a roll of the dice
a spirited football match
a pint of chunky monkey ice cream
Some sloppy head every now and again...
Just keep the fake away from my face.
and I'll be a happy shark man....

SPEECH      IMPEDIMENT     JOB-SEEKER


An  aged  respondent  called  Smith
Answered the  newspaper  job-list  herewith
“Man wanted as geologist 
Great  skill at digging out schist
And  now and again a  large  batholith.”


But this geologic skill was  a myth.
Because  like  rock-hound  kin and  kith
They  just  wanted a man,    
Not  the   lisping  old  gran 
That   they  thaw  when she gave them  a kith....
