Premium Member Britain's Divorce

BRITAIN'S DIVORCE

Brexit?
Well exit!
Don’t bisect,
And dissect it!
Don’t retell and retell it,
As we kind of expect it!
Are you trying to perhaps 
Protect it?
Please make a decision,
So we can respect it!

As entropy prevails

Flat on a slab
The coroner pauses
To cut the flab
To find death's causes 

Born to live
Mature and die
Our tale to give
Tell the truth, don't lie

Did virtue grow?
Compassion as well?
Did forbearance flow?
As of trials, we retell

T'is well they say
As entropy prevails
Reformed if you may 
A new life in your sails

Premium Member Shunning Elephantowers

I invite all human kind
to shun Trumpeting Towers
because they are irrelevant
to all MeWe things therapeutic

And because
my depressing blues songs
and green signs
tell
and retell 
ultra-nonviolet me

we don't feed narcissistic
angry red 
rabidly stampeding
ballistic elephants

Cuz it's not healthy
nor resiliently wealthy,
compassionately unwise.

SPOKEN MOMENT

SPOKEN MOMENT
Thanks for your stories, my dearest
They are precious richest,
Resources of present pain
But tomorrow’s gain.
I cannot afford but yen 
Upon to retell them
When your heart rates
Matches mines
As we breathe alive
With rhythm of sea awaken 
In a recounting imagination
Of fair journeys
And calendared miseries 
From daily bread
To ever said.

Pre-Passover

The spattered recipes come out,
Ingredients procured.
The kitchen timer ticks away,
So I am reassured.

We slice and blend and chop and mix
And wait for pots to boil,
While using all the eggs on hand
As well as all the oil.

There’s so much prep for just one meal
But every year’s the same
And any dish forgotten
We’d consider such a shame.

Tomorrow we will gather
And retell the ancient tale
Then the fruits of all our labor
We’ll be happy to unveil.

Premium Member Go Back To The Beginning

That song sounds so good,
Go back to the beginning,
Reminisce moments of childhood
All while rhythymically dancing.

That story sounds so good,
Go back to the beginning,
Retell how you done all you could
All while laughing while crying.

That speech sounds so good,
Go back to the beginning,
Reenact every word you should
All while proudly standing.

That story sounded so good,
Go back to the beginning,
Recollect all the ways you would
Once again relive everything.

Old Pepper Grinder

Old wooden pepper grinder’s thinking of the past. Dreaming ‘bout its days of glory, now collecting dust. It’s got stories, it’s got wisdom but no one’s there to listen. It’s feeling rusty, useless and lonely somewhere in the kitchen. Wanting to retell old anecdotes, just to be taken into warm hands. Instead Alzheimer’ s at the door, saying he wants to be friends. Old wooden pepper grinder’s thinking of the past. Praying to be used again before the journey’s end.
