Lingering Glimpses

Tentativeness has become pure permanence.
Overindulgence turn true to life temperance... 
Boulders resemble icebergs of sturdy snow rocks,
Bonfire looks like lively long burning lava blocks...
Something seen; something hidden; everything subtle,
Living and dead, betwixt heaven and hell shuttle...

Succor For Winter's Sabotage

Spring mix sprinkled with balsamic and fig A whirligig of walnuts and crisp cranberries Décor’s sweet dawn of strawberries A fork and buds to taste At first so cold then so warm somehow As fiber and vitamins rush To aid the holiday’s overindulgence Of snow and damp, fat and sweet 12/19/2016

New Years Eve

New Years Eve celebration
Ever so grateful of redemption 
With overindulgence of consumption

Year-end celebrating 
Edibles I've been craving
Aha so much champagne drinking
Recoup from stomach bloating
Swaying, light-headed teetering

Eek nightcaps of antacid
Verily, not so lucid
Eau de mornings, feeling putrid



For Francine Roberts' contest, "New Years Eve,"...

Sleepwalking

Existing in chaos, mind’s fog
World of haze, devoid of color
Mindless drone, autopilot
Going through the motions as if
Sleepwalking
Through the dense gloom, the gray horizon seen
In a daze, the cold emptiness never ending
Sleepwalking by day
Existing only to find solace at twilight
Overindulgence, ceasing the chatter, ceasing the noise
Sleepwalking, hoping to one day awaken from this prison...

Dreamsicle

All of the joys
Of chocolate…
Delightful pleasure
of tiny secretions 
that excites taste.
Releasing mounds of
Milky darkness…
An assortment of
Overindulgence,
A savory variety of 
Irresistible explosions
And heavenly bliss…
Layers of richness
That taunts sensors to
Recall succulent memories
Of indelible guilt,
An insatiable desire 
To spawn a gluttonous
Compromise…
Hers is Godiva,
Deep chocolaty inner dream-
Deliciously black coated
Vanilla cream......

Chris Farley - John Belushi

Chris Farley's idol was John Belushi
and Chris Farley assimilated John Belushi to a tee.
His very fast lifestyle, his overindulgence of drugs and alcohol
but he also assimilated John Belushi's comedy best of all.
Both have made me laugh so hard that I couldn't catch my breath.
Such a shame that Chris Farley also assimilated John Belushi's death.
I recall in my youth when Lenny Bruce was my idol.
I hope I don't assimilate his death and be found dead on my bathroom tile....

Gluttony Takes No Prisoners

Gluttony takes no prisoners,
And leaves nothing behind to grow,
Except the need for more.

Gluttony unchecked will end our planets usefulness,
But not our usefulness,
In helping Gluttony get to more and more planets.

More, more, more, and ever more,
Is Gluttony's call to all but the wiry,
And the spendthrift,
The non-alcoholic,
And the tree Hugger,
The Hermit,
And the one actually on a diet.

But is six enough,
To reverse the damage, 
From decades of overindulgence?...
