Ordering a 'Mustard-and-Catsup'
  I was ever-so-rudely refused

  Not a happy camper at all ~
      'Dog-on-it,' I mused...

Young Malcolm was meek, rarely riled,
asking for korma, quite mild,
they all thought him nice,
until ordering rice,
that was where Malcolm went wild.

was ordained by 
the queen 
one ordering a

direction change 
to be made 
immediately
in order to 
comply with 
the new emotional

Just ordering one popcorn and a coke
ducking behind the seat now no joke 

Bullets gas masked crazy man and all the rest
It would never have happened in the old west

Guns there in holsters easy drawn now he’s dead...

hurry winter snow;
falling,  fall white silver snow;
atop the trees grounds
~
falling ever down;
covering the walks and roads;
hurry snow,  snow,  Snow

Was mesmerized at Starbucks ordering a coffee
The sweetie behind the counter made my knees all wobbly
With eyes so exquisite
Definitely quite feministic
Blown away describes me went totally bonky...

A Mom


Always there to give a hug or reassuring kiss

Master of healing the smallest cuts and nicks
Ordering up exactly the right amount of love and kicks
Moms are the biggest heros and cherished by their kids....

Great things are,
Occurring in my life.
Destiny is peaking.

I thank the generous 
Savior so greatly for

Giving me life and blessing me
Over abundantly for
Ordering my steps to
Divine destiny.

ordering
hors d'oeuvres
simple finger
food for my
delight

taking in a bit
of wasabi
opening senses
to absent scents
revealed

reveling menu
of mussels
clams and
pearls
of oysters

tastes topsy
turvy turn 
my palate to
ask red wine
with fish?...

Meeting you in the court of dawn,
Yes! We played and cried on life’s lawn.

Mutating dreams to reality the task at noon,
Ordering my trembling steps to the moon
Tearing our fate at dusk
Hands of death task
Earth you depart mot my path
Resquicat in pace and in my heart...

In poetry meter and rhythm are ultimately
About the sounds of language.
Meter is organized rhythm;
Rhyme has to do with echo.
Poetry is a poet's way 
Of ordering chaotic emotions and experiences.
The language and rhythm of a poem
Are as crucial as what the poem is about.

I really shouldn't order pizza
in a way I didn't though
because I ended up ordering Dominos
My taste buds made me do it
and a coupon at half price
I hadn't had pizza in so long
it was a treat nice
My scale and blood sugars
will tattle on me though
But that is a worry for tomorrow
today I feast on Dominos...

The catalogue books
I remember them
There were many books
Eaton's Sear's The Bay
Canadian Tier

Oh how I loved them
I would spend hours
Looking through pages
From clothes to shoes
The household section

Oh and the furniture
I enjoyed looking through
Ordering from the phone
Then pick up at the store
Oh I miss those days....

Let no living man point a finger at anyone
and say this is my enemy
for a lot is masked
the eyes see only the outside
the spirit slaps and
makes the wicked run man
for it is only when we are dead
that the eyes become open
at our burial we get to see and know our friends
while few are crying rivers
many are ordering for more wine....

I have the holiday blues,
I have to choose
Should I stay or should I go,
Can't afford to loose
This crazy holiday blues
Have me ordering new shoes
Researching the travel news
Craving for some sea breeze
Dreaming of laying in the hot sun
Drinking Bacardi and Rum 
Listening to Soca and it's drum 
Got to make that income so when I travel
I will be welcome...

I started cleaning my art studio today.
Found so many fresh new paint brushes it was embarrassing.
I am stunned at other things I found that I can use;
Keep ordering things I already have!
Maybe cleaning is not a waste of time after all.
I thank my new puppy for forcing me to clean.
Was getting tired of taking paint bottles,
glitter paint, and super glue out of his mouth....

Three sweeteners please
And add two packets of sugar
A dab of caramel silk and two shots of chocolate milk.

The woman glared at me.
This is McDonald’s she said, not a Starbucks.
You want all that in lemon tea?

Never mind, I said, feeling foolish.
I forgot that I had finally decided on tea instead of coffee.
The rest of the people in line moaned their displeasure as I left....

Most of our lives are lived
in an in-between world…
yesterday and tomorrow the bookends
to what has happened
and what is yet to come
ordering the mayhem in an artificial attempt
at unity and control
escape becomes an option for the very few
who no longer believe in the prescriptive banner,
the forecasted promise,
the dogmatic challenge
—or the printer’s ink

(Dreamsleep: October, 2020)...

Even if it took a thousand years,
Reaching you would still be near.
Indeed you must be a pearl,
Knowing this calms my fear;
And my gentle heart stares.

Oh! How odd are these words
Misleading as a wrong note on the cord
Ordering this joy to be bored
Rest assured this love is undying 
Even though it comes from one in white clothing
Given to you for safe keeping
Endanger not, this treasured offering....
