It's not the accolade diploma
          who distinguishes,
          a human being,
          is the human quality
          who qualifies.. !...

At the Zoo we were forced to withdraw
after we saw the beast that we saw
        We got such a fright
         But found out later that night
It was only Larrys Mother-in-law!

Enter in Zany Zoo if it qualifies....

Faith
Hope and
Charity, 
An eye single 
To glory of God,
Qualifies each person
For the work of salvation
For all his brothers and sisters
Caught in traps of never ending sin,
Trying to find escape in Babylon....

Quatrains four with refrain  
    Qualifies as French form
Quality lines that rhyme
    Quite a feat to achieve 
Quest for perfect writing 
    Quickly done once begun 
Quirks of a poet's mind

Only one
of my assets
qualifies
as glory crown.
Pampered hair
plumps my ego
and has drained my pockets dry.

Permanents,
dyes and rinses,
cuts and sets
salon shampoos,
never missed
hair appointments,
as if it matters at end..

How do you know you're a poet?
What qualifies you to have the title?
Are you a connoisseur of words?
Do you live and breathe poetry?
Do words pour out of your soul?
Are you a lover of rhymes?
So I ask you again, my friend?
How do you know you're a poet?
Because I don't have a clue.

It is sometimes advantageous
To be getting on in years,
For it qualifies you to be
Vaccinated, it appears.

The flip side, though, is obvious – 
The experts all have said
That the older folk with Covid
Will more often end up dead.

The conclusion, then – in some respects
It’s better to be young.
Though you can’t get the vaccine, 
The fearful you won’t be among....

You
are beautifully built 
with a sweet soprano voice
that amazes me when you speak

You 
sing perfectly well too
and so are your advice;
I could listen tirelessly

You
are a covering that qualifies and complements
every part of me
my listening ear in times of trials…

Your words are fire to my heart!
Yet, your silence tears me apart
as keen as a knife

I,
in the realm of your voice...

How vagueness interferes
my mind, not plot
to being - I am here - and here, why not?

So wander graphically,
no difference - still in flock,
a oneness qualifies my soul's begot!

For here, survival only clinches - what,
as real as truth is only care's report,
Am I - Am I increasing this distort!

So take all else - but take me not in sport,
God's servant asks for trust,
...but finds extort!...

Spit fire and spin honey,
the target-a wealthy man and his money.

She has no other talent that qualifies,
just the sum of what quantifies.

She's got cause and family ties,
under the guise of friendship and lies.

Depending on time to line her pockets,
she waits like a spider to sign the dockets.

The honey it dries,
the old man dies.

It evokes such pain and indifference,
targets of especial sentimental significance"....

Status quo here
Seemingly ignores
Hidden agendas


Meaning hides 
In cryptic word
Sly camouflage


Hurl of mad swirl
In a crazy world
Crushed by conceit


Fling of sad lines
Vision usurped
By vain notions


Hypocritical
This notion that change
Qualifies now


To make a clear break
Die to resistance 
Be dead to old habits


Sanguine moments
Await old gripes
Change wears a mask
