Government play on too many folk
Those who can't pay
Die everyday
Whilst Trump switches from Lysol to Coke

Only in the mornings,Sun rises,
Calling back the tired son home,
In the evenings,Sun sets!

A Lost Memory

A lost memory

I listen
To this country music daily,
Remembering the endless songs
You use to play on this radio,
As you slowly let go
The music quieted.

Play On the Numbers

Number one or number two
Simple beginnings to the numerical counts
But don't let the numbers
Rule you how far you can get each day

Fantasy

Fragrant memories in an

Abstract frame

Nourishing pleasures and

Tastes of yesterday

Amber glow of candles lit

Shadow play on moistened skin 

Yearning to begin again

Premium Member Jubilant Tambourine

Play on jubilant tambourine.
Your silvery zills quaking,
quicken rockstones from such slumbers.
Shake, zealous with the spirit, 
punctuating hallelujah,
ringing fresh as a new year.

The Old Age

The wasted knowledge that comes with age,
Has become yet just pitted rage.
Each of us just turns a page.
Only play on a stage.
Left inside a cage,
Driving like phage.
Against swage,

Love Just Right

glow on moon
shine on stars
blow down wind
from mountains, far

play on song
dance with me
show your love
for all to see

kiss me long
hold me tight
give all you have
ah, love just right

Premium Member She's So Punny

I have an old friend who enjoys a good pun,
a play on words that's both humorous and fun.
I've known her for many years. Her name is Joan,
and it's rather fitting that her name rhymes with "groan".

Conflict of Interest

At a time of conflict of interest 
Between you and other parties 
Allow the other to decide 
You will be his choice 
For your recognition
For his satisfaction 
Ball is in your court now
To play on

This Poem Is About Changing Perception With a Word

Adolph Hitler was right

wasn't sure about this one
but then its just a play on words
probably using the worlds most evil person
was a bit extreme
but you get the gist

Today 

Pouring buckets today
A day to have soup and 
Play on the internet
Or read my favorite
Book or watch old movies
Day for hot chocolate
Topped with sweet marshmallows

But not some other day

Glad-He-Ate-Her

Thrust a sword into my gut;
Save me from this mindless rut! 
Armor, shield- an open field 
(To guide my hands with luck) 
One by one 'til all are killed;
Beaten, Bashed, Bested- Struck!
