Short Reinstated Poems

Reinstated eyes absorbs given warmth,
Hence receiving the blessing of today. 
Minds re-energized too perceiving warmth;
Let's not take for granted a gifted day!...

Elderberry wine
   It's a knockout, first time round
   Boxing time again



   From Ireland, Deirdre's now calling
   She wrote a Haiku that's appalling
   If only she'd waited, with words reinstated
   Her Haiku might now be enthralling...

We climbed the fence
but I must say
in our defense

it seemed a good idea

but on that day
childhood’s pretense
said “it’s only play”

a dog immense
not trained to stay
reinstated common sense

it had seemed a good idea

Silently 
The words found some movement
Yet none 
Attended 

Filling the emptiness
Piercing
Through
The crowd out of sight

Striking 
The wall
Right beneath the hall
They crumbled
Few mumbled
Surprised 
The earth began to move
At last
The hope had been reinstated 
Smile’s brought upon
Not by the day saver
But by the destroyer 
Of the static world...

Business magnate and the world's second richest, Elon Musk.
Fathered soccer team; probably slaves away from dawn to dusk.

Reluctantly bought "Twitter" and reinstated banned folks outright.
Elongated debunked conspiracy theories by the Washington right.

Listen to poem:

why would we tamper
with the delicate balance
of what we have

why would we risk
tipping the scales of illusion
when calm is reinstated

walking the tightrope
between love
and longing

the world seeming less hostile
and somewhat right again
if only for a moment

Her eyes were glycerine clear as glass
As I looked into her soul it was empty so
Not a chance more than a glance
Spirits willing soul wants to dance
Spoke to Jesus asked for another chance
I am redeemed and forgiven
Now I'm in place and winning
Open hands open heart
Reinstated brand new start
Praise God gonna do my part
To Invision a forgiven heart
