He’s been prescribed many pills.
Tangled with Opossum brood;

It's definitely something that happens to the brain

Limerick : Once an anti-Academic doctor

Once an anti-Academic doctor
Prescribed poison for ailing professor
Prof gave powder to wife
Wife sold it to mid-wife
Who mixed it in husband doctor’s dinner.

The ensuing pain caused him to near shout,
Driving him insane,
Was endless foot pain,
Brought on by a painful condition called Gout.

Concept of sameness
within family nuance...
blood line prevalent.

When The link is blood
the brain a mind of its own...
tolerance prescribed.

Honour each other
respect is earned not a gift...
like an open mind.

Is freedom a mere habit
  or by will prescribed

Are our actions predetermined
  or self applied

Is consciousness a desert
  or paradise unclaimed

Each thought an oasis
  —watering truth’s refrain

I lift my face away from my screen
the morning light surprises me 
and fills the room
with a eerie comfort
I stumble to the kitchen
swallow my prescribed sanity

I don’t miss the sleep
just like I don’t miss you

no one notices the flowers are wilting
til they fade away...

The stream runs to the river,
         the river runs to the sea, 
         without asking for advice,
         don't even enquire why...
         They just run for love,
         because so the
         nature prescribed...
         Each one with 
         its every duty... !...

I am sure by now a smart fella such as yourself 
Has figured it out by now
So tell me how does it feel?
To be just another rat spinning the wheel
Round and round in for a penny in for a pound
We want away our daily grind
Only to find the wheels only stops turning
When prescribed incapable of earning...

VIOLET, my passions so prescribed.
INDIGO, I follow her soul's desire.
BLUE, my companion so true to life.
GREEN, l am filled with envy.
YELLOW, the undignified distortions of life.
ORANGE, the bright citric passions in me.
RED, the depth of my Sincerity.

That's the rainbow of LOVE

The requirements involve a prescribed number of syllables in each line, in this order: 2,5,8,3,8,7,2

words of random thoughts
mingle together in my brain,

Old Peter was terribly silly 
And forgot to protect his poor Willie
On the walk to the vet
His wee Willie got wet
The soaking wet pup got so chilly

His Willie was dried at the vets
(They’re extremely kind to our pets)
They prescribed some pills
To cure Willie’s ills
and a coat to cover his assets

Old by the numbers
  refusing to give in
  dying younger than the years prescribed

All feigned adulthood
  to others entrusted
  refusing life’s final goodbye

The music now was the music then
  with one great love to see
  me through

My body to the soil
  my mind in defiance
   —my soul in death renewed

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2018)...

You, yet unborn, to a faith you belong
For the seed has a religion
And its temple is the womb

In death again, to a faith you return
Your lifeless body buried by your creed or burned
For death rites follow prescribed religion

But in life, you have a choice
Living life, guided by that inner voice
Of the god within: your conscience, guardian of terrestrial laws...
