Never so I top

No better I bop 
No never I stop...

To lead unprepared

Morning traffic does make our mood dour,
and driving to work mentally sour,
we drive and then stop,
just get moving and prop,
and this is supposed to be rush hour....

Listen to poem:

old stepladder
still able to climb,
still able to lean,
to prop and lift you up,
now elatedly sublime
a fixture prime in space
in pride of place
grounded
shelved
dishevelled...

Exploring Don is fond of lively fruit,
to taste cajoles his wife to show the route
for cherries on the mound top,
and cherry fire her lips prop.
Merry time they enjoy in his pursuit....

Bought myself a cactus plant
With flower on the top,
Such a dazzling orange
It seems phony, like a prop.

Set it on my windowsill
So light and air will fill it;
Wonder how long it’ll take
Before I start to kill it....

There was once a hot dancer named Heather

   Who for her act wore just a huge feather

      She fumbled her prop one night

         And much to her fan's delight

            Fled from the stage in her altogether...

A soul so very like mine own and yet so different still 
in the language of silence a thousand words unspoken 
Lifting each other up we differentiate our differences 
in this dramatic stage we prop, we are temporal too

Bygones is bygones 
Rights are wrong. 
What an ugly, sick song. 
If your headlong grin and 
sly stare exuded any less 
pomp, your clown-prop nose 
and cherry toothpaste lips 
would have long ago slithered 
away from your paved face....

Kicks tires
Checks wires

Full stop 
Revs prop

Must heed
Airspeed

Thumbs up
Climbs up

No sweat
(Not yet)

Alas
No gas

In spin
Chagrin

No chute
Oh shoot

Bad day
Mayday

Crashed plane
On plain

Washout
No doubt...

ALPS


      Strong stable calm.
      Built rigid firm.

      Tough to reach top.
       Hard rock as prop.

      Wears nice ice caps.
       Frosty breeze slaps.

Mommas are the little ones,
 who carry us for most a year,
Prop us up till we are strong, 
forgive us for the hurt and fears, 
so look after Mum,
 She is the one so dear...

Once again our hearts are broken, 
similar words President spoken,	
another loss to demon rounds	
this time on Navy Yard grounds.
We usher victims to next stop,
hope their deaths are not a prop
to justify this or support that,
in ongoing trial of social combat....

Positive attitude
Palliative soft touch
Painful hearts always seek
Prop of helping kind hands
People appreciate
Profusely thank me, and
Pleasure is mine, I say.

Prosthetic language can never fix 
  a Poems broken joints

Only inspiration can set
  the break for sure

Crutches and canes to prop up verse
  severely disappoint

Perception falling on its face

Lean not on gurus, for God search
Why prop up middleman
Sitting on high and mighty perch
Our credit card they scan

God within intimate
Here now immediate
Go in now, do not wait

Power, they abuse
Lean not on gurus

Love defined

There is not much to  love, when it’s  defined
With material things it looks aligned.
Should  love at all need a prop
Which fails at times and love flops.
Making the once enshrined  the most maligned.

While her moon she bleeds red and his sun, drips bleak..
A double edged sword ? Where these waters rage to cross
Their thresholds; bound, by His hands in time, this witness ?
Soaked of innocent blood her dust ? Dragons dream we sleep
As historia's court jester climbs once more atop pathetics prop....

Keep Your Elbows Off the Table

By Elton Camp

It has always been the rule
Both at home and in school
Elbows on table were a crime
And not permitted at any time

There’s no reason it should stop
Elbows are a really handy prop
If elbows, man and God offend,
Why are our arms made to bend?...
