Rest While On Vacation

R-est while on vacation,
U-sing a resort to frolic;
T-ired and burned-out body
H-as to skylark and rollick.

Y-ou rest while on vacation,
O-n the fifth of September;
S-tart to bask in a fine place
O-f the summer or winter.
Y-our heart, mind, and soul need to enjoy relaxation;
A-im to have fun and play, rest while on vacation.

After Christmas

The day after Christmas
beginning exercise path again
leftover excitement from Christmas day
children enjoying their new presents

resort to the mall; after Christmas sales
brace for the arrival of new years
celebrate the honorable boxing day
plan yet once again New Years festivities 
return unwanted gifts

Premium Member Jealousy

Jealousy finally persuades her victims, Making them resort to the evilest deeds No good words or plausible maxims Will uproot jealousy’s dangerous weeds. Once planted in the cold weakened heart They mature as suspicions and doubt, Raising a strong impenetrable rampart Until deeds of hatred flesh them out.

Life Quantum Gray

The struggle of life
Someone is hungry
Someone wants to go home.

Survival is not easy
For animal world or human
Need to be smart to live.

Sometimes, you need
To go beyond, outrun
Be more intelligent and fearsome.

No heart feeling
Just pure business
In order to survive.

Others, resort to extreme
Selling flesh, principles
And even sale soul to hell.

Last Resort

Some days I never want to end
Other days I want a reset button
No hesitation, mash it in

Two extremes, high and lows
Never a solid middle ground
Just not how my river flows 

Two opposite sides of one whole
Forever a battle ground I can’t win
Last resort to fix my soul

Elevator ride to skyscraper loft
Maybe see if I can fly
Asphalt has never looked so soft

Basic Rules To Live By

When communication fails, resort to loneliness.
When loneliness fails, resort to communication.
When resorting fails, communicate with your
lonely self and meet your only friend.

When you give up someone else's dream, you begin to live.
When you free yourself from your own dreams, you realize that you've
never lived at all.
Then, when you dream, you'd rather be living.

Deceivers Are Free To Sleep Well

Hear the excuse of Deceivers 
For the suffered by Receivers:
We did not Awkward Force apply
To make them finally comply:
On them did not a thing impose,
None of men's resort to Rude Force:
A will to one hurry like horse...

And The Fool - Double Fool - just fell,
Right now with sore stories to tell;
They can't present in a nutshell...

Deceivers are free to sleep well

Premium Member Who Breathes Free

Told what to think
  what not to drink
what we must eat
  mostly vegan, never meat

We resort to apps to buy our cars
  to find our way to open bars
We rely on them to find a date
  Surefire way to seal one's fate

Parents once guided our consumption
  Social media do it now with gumption
Is there anywhere we still breathe free
  ubiquitous screens ~ wily eyes on you and me

Premium Member The Answer Depends

    Why do some believe it’ll get better
       while others are sure it’ll get worse

     Why do some take wild chances
       while others sit out the big dances

     Why do some sock it away
       while others live for today

     Why do some sit and think
        while others resort to drink

     The answer, my friend, will depend
        on what you discover in the end

Premium Member A Hidden Message

Some folks tend to awfulize Others prefer to dramatize, There are those who fantasize Many people will improvise. I know a few who tantalize Even resort to marginalize Those who are short in size, Which will often destabilize Because they may internalize, Which is not always wise! Three times a week, I advise, It’s a good thing to exercise!

Premium Member This Ones For the Gals

What gospels on sunday afternoon
Are four quarters male members tune
With flat screens on wall?
The chair-men want football
And shall yell like a wild baboon


Author's note: This poem was inspired by Lori Hopkin's "This ones for the guys" which is worth a good look.  My apologies to all baboons who are much gentler and finer than I.  Sad to resort to using their species as a stereotype just for the sake of a rhyme.

And I a Broken Vessel

And I a broken vessel stuck in the sands of time
resort to times in time
when the newness of the traits
struck from out the land
of nothingness to glory
not made by human hands.

Filled with riches yet unseen by blighted eyes
a token made for love
reflected decadence and pain.

And I a broken vessel am broken in the sand
covered up and waiting until the desert land
is filled with clear,clean water 
with salvation close at hand

Palestinian Memory

The Palestinian memory is a divine chapel
for the ones who are faithful to it,
keeping hope.
Memory is light, a prayer, a sojourn, a treasure,
that makes us dream, of a free Palestine.
They might resort to genocide,
but memory delivers a fatal blow,
that saves the day, that keeps intoxicating our imagination. 
The whole parade of bombs can never extinguish its fire;
memory is the brush fire, on history's canvas, from river to the sea.
