In an oppressive heat wave

thick clear oppressive warm air
stepping thru life's damp pressure...

But can you hear it?
My love is radiant
And oppressive
Do you dare slip under
This tyrannical rule?...

Overflowing with gratitude
   Our 'racist, oppressive republic'

overloading another’s afflictions

oblivion optimizing restriction

Imagination on hold
Just breathing
Killing pain is enough
Languishing
Mentally aware 
No where near ready
Oppressive 
Painkillers
Quietly
Respectively
Self serving
The
You...

Beautiful bloom,
The excitement of the nation
Beautiful doom
A pure countries damnation

The beauty of a flower
Is that of the oppressive power
God bless the U.S.A 
For remaining strong today...

Oppressive dreams become-
Broken promises. Stars seem bright.

oppressive spirals
            overflow
the land,
temptuous troubles
                  lie
hard as granite:
noiseless 
        they creep,
as in a slow dance,
transcend and
obliterate truth...

Summer
Oppressive heat
Field crops withering brown
Farmers praying for downpouring
Cloudburst

Summer heat is oppressive, and stifling to the adults.

Children splash in pools, laughing, squealing, thrilled with summer magic.

We adults appreciate their joy, after we travel backwards in our minds....

snow drop blossoms-spring
oppressive heat-porch swing-noon
clouds gathering-storm

pink dawn-flower moon
vanishing in beauty-sun
six pm-fireflies

opening bloom-scents
early afternoon-shadows
first meeting-romance...

Fighting for our rights

Fighting for what is right

We are not going down without a fight

We are going for a strike! 
Hell no to your oppressive rules

This war will be fought till night

Haiku

quite is the flat
no children calling you dad
your heart is aching 


sadness is oppressive 
no song can quell declination 
your heart is aching 


perhaps a small child
calls your name from far away 
your son unbeknown....

A heavy, leaden winter sky 

Oppressive, grey as slate.

Biting cold, stinging cheeks

As my weary way, I make.

Autumn had paid a call,

All the leaves, now litter.

Still though, it won't be long

Till all is snow, and glitter....

My
tranquil
oasis,
terrace garden,
by July-  serene
hues of green foliage,
and sweet scents of rose drifting.
A repose from the humid heat,
and oppressive sun- where the murmurs
of bird twitters bring a divine stillness....

Gosh darn and golly gee, remember those nasty phrases
They've gone the way of the dodo, a real conundrum it raises
What could be more expressive
When frustration becomes oppressive
Perhaps “gee willickers” or maybe even “goodness gracious”...
