Dewey Decimal System

I could never understand
the cataloger's best laid plan.
Books in libraries, numbered screwy
in a system made by Dewey.

Numbered Sheep (Tanka)

Corkscrew through depths of
aquatic oblivion
whirls of confusion.
Numbered sheep blaat in cyclones
and wake my unconcious mind.

Prime-School's Out

On
the green,
teams often
numbered seventeen,
our jumpers placed as goal posts,
such after-school football now a long-lost dream.

Lament For Summer

The summer solstice
in years past so much welcomed...
now there's foreboding:
soaring temps, wildfires, drought...
idyllic days are numbered.

February's final bonus

A prime-numbered day if years leap
Adds one extra cycle for sleep
This calendar fact
Keeps seasons intact
And discounts our rents that ain't cheap

Moments

In the long run
our days together
are numbered.
So loving becomes
by our care
a cure we take together
for all past cruelties
which have hurt us
and made us fear,
knowing the end 
will suit us after all.

I's that Can't C-

nineth number of the alphabet
hasn't eyes yet it's C's
the I's have it, because I is in front of T
And letter C is numbered 3
For me... I's that Can't C-

Every Minute Is a Gift

Every minute is a gift
We often do not realize it
Until we feel our minutes
are numbered

Every minute is a choice
They are not replaceable
So please choose wisely

Every minute
Wasted
Or enjoyed
Your choice

Gasping For Air

Gasping for air
Trying to breath
Please afford me my space
Before I draw my last breath
So long 
Farewell
Who loved each other most
May the victor's spoil's boast
Sadly redundant
As we turn separate way's
Numbered are our day's

Debt Slavery

Search for existence spreads thin
Our gasoline days numbered by the sun
While collection hounds scour zombie minds
Striving for fact and nimble opportunity
Institutions shunting brick and mortar
Each road running against walls of fate

Extinction

Listen to poem:
I,

at risk

Hawaiian.

Soon on list as

gone.




***In the 60's, 'twas bandied about, that we numbered less than 2,000 full-blood Hawaiians that are left. Dread the thought, how many of me are left. Aloha, William Kekaula

7 Words

A daily puzzle
7 clues
Adjusting letters
Which to choose
Some clues are easy
Some are sly
Some await
Others reply
Numbered solutions
Many or few
Completely solved
I am told "Well done!"
I bid it "so long"
And  'yes' I had fun.

Eternal Complaint

My mom's children numbered four, 
so, when she went to the grocery store,
she filled the cart up and then some more, 
and complained to her friends in frustration - 
she'd paid twenty dollars (because of inflation)
at the grocery store.

Puncture Wound

The needles are numbered
The heart beats few
The mind emptying
The tale of raven's hell
Rapping at the door
The flesh singed to ashes
Fire in the air
The brittle fragments
Jagged to the bone
The weeping iris
One last breath
As the needle passes through

Numbered Days

Fog thick as thieves reduces sight
Misty drops drip from eaves
All's quiet in nature's realm
How my heart slowly bleeds

Time seems to be swiftly ending
Days are numbered 'pon wall
See the calendar's pages move_
Xes seem to voice sqall

Over Thirty Five and Born In the Usa

If we continue to redefine 
What a president can be 
will  we have as our president some day 
a monkey whose total experience  
is he or she can swing from a tree
or  swing a big golf club 
and hit a small ball from a tee
towards some numbered holes?
