Climate confusion
all life rebounds in false glee

Nikola Jokic, the opposite of cool
  The woke NBA had him pegged for a fool

    Calmly drops in 40 a night with 20 rebounds
    Lebron and Jimmy B. had to call off the hounds...

The big bang, 

one week ago today, 

an ounce of energy degrades-

young and righteous, 

a story evades-

rebounds like the waves, 

a story evades, 

surges and sounds like howling fangs,

a hero abstains....

eagle’s eyes press sky
sun’s rays pierce through morning clouds...
     day of freedom reigns

liberty’s sign waits
new hope inspired by dawn’s light...
     nation’s pride rebounds

Alligators bellowing chorous dance.
Eerie freshwater gator holes.
Intense jaws, killer lizard-like.
Marshes nest offspring, population quickly rebounds.
Southeastern territorial. 
Underwater vegitation. Wetlands xylem.

Where will we be in
Our ability to fight
Coronavirus
When it goes “mutate”?
We don’t have a vaccine now…
Many are dying!

Relaxing rules should
Not be done now…elastic
Bands hurt on rebounds.

When the soul searches
And found nothing
Emptyness, pure emptyness
Rebounds!
In some such moments
I feel
I am dragged to a shell
I could have
Sure. I could have kept the entire universe
Inside the drawyer
No more I am just a repilica!
More within I am, least discovered!...

Wild as a beast in action
One man of no direction
Living with immortality and screams
Voice over uncontrollable dreams
Exhibits hostility over injustices
Rebounds with amity and kindness
Invincible and unbreakable, but sober
Navigates the world over
Enlisted service man and man of his word...

I am listening and hear what you say.
I myself have hurt this way.
Had I given up and closed the door
I'd have missed a world of so much more.
In time I've found that wounds do heal
and life presents gifts of love with zeal.
So on I go with life's ups and downs
just being thankful that life rebounds....

in this frail life we take solid form ~ bouncing shadows upon the walls


next life may hold shades of promise ~ perhaps an eternity for all 


right now reflecting over past mistakes ~ are we making the right call


rebounding then failing each other ~ the drum beats to our own downfall

People and places like thread
Over and under, sewing your head
Leaking and squeaking
Thrilling and peeking
Elements of illusion
Rebounds with delusion
Grumbling in your ears
Ending and halting heart beat in tears
Intermittent noises of the unseen
Souls playing around when clock strikes at thirteen
Touching you and me in grim...

Snap! Life is gone that fast.
Crackle. Lightning hits him.
Pop! Electricity goes off.
Zap! You are not trained. Do not fool with that electric wire!
Sizzle! Bzzzzz. Pow! 
Life rebounds out of your body into heaven.
Yes, life goes that fast.

Snap
Crackle
Pop
Zap
Pow!
Life is over.

The only one 
Who never realized
This was my

Makeup covers the scars
Smiles cover the pain
What much is there to gain?
As lighting strikes and later rebounds with a sound
The thought of her ever being hurt could not be found
“Why, Where, What is going on?” they ask
As the girl, continually hides behind the mask
Is it because she is ashamed of her past?
Is it because she is anticipating it would not last?
What actually could be beneath?...

Why oh why did our sweet love die:
                   My dearest heart
Hasv another fancy come nigh:
                   To take my part?
Did good looks,fine words turn your head:
                   On rebounds hook
Then to another,he so quickly sped:
                   And thee forsook
Will words of love and this gold ring:
                   Now make you mine
With promises,to make bells ring:
                   This troth is thine....

Silver waves in moonlight gleaming,
Flowers grace the field that's dreaming.
Soft wings of bright green butterflies,
Rise with birds toward sunshine skies!

Light rains tapping at the windows,
Rustling leaves in fluttery throes.
Orange bloom seeking honeybee;
And sounds of frogs croaking nightly.

Owls hooting their mystery sounds,
While far off cry of wolf rebounds.
Red flames crackling in a fireplace,
And sweethearts in nighttime embrace....

Fill me up with your lightness
challenge me with your fleeting smiles
touch me with your tenderness
and let me sail away
upon wings of love

Look at me with those liquid eyes
into my soul and you will see
helplessness mingled with strength
as my spirit rebounds
from a sort of delicacy

You are the beacon that shines through
when the nights have fallen so dark
and loneliness threatens to overwhelm me
I reach out to you
and you hold me
in love so cherished....
