Hears only daughter who often lies
Believing tall tales with big faith...

awaken bagpipes
riled up in broguish accent
traversing drawbridge
of Cawdor Castle
enchanting chanter and drones...

Don't be charmed when placing a child
And check if the little one's riled
This is an alarm
Since some serious harm
Comes from nannies known to go wild...

Young Malcolm was meek, rarely riled,
asking for korma, quite mild,
they all thought him nice,
until ordering rice,
that was where Malcolm went wild.

Your good looking coffee
has me smiled
It's not that I want to
but hey; it's wild

Like me in the pretty way
half past riled
And you in the pity way
last to style'd...

Up Everyone Trump Riled

Up as usual everyone Trump had riled,
After reading things that he compiled,
To us occurred,
Completely absurd;
Each profiled person was always defiled.

WHO trashed this whole house and went wild?
WHAT? You let in the dog? He got riled?
WHEN was this? Where’s he at?
WHERE the heck is the cat??
Just WHY ever did I want a child?...

Ted enjoys a quick roll in the hay...
He’s sleeping with his buxom P A
She confirmed she’s with child
Ted baulked, then got quite riled
I wonder what his wife’s got to say!

Listen to poem:

Come sail with me once more dear friends, to ply the winds to comply.
To hoist the sails, pull on the sheets, to steer the yacht driving through waves.
Together, we make a great team, tackling and taming riled wild seas....

Once when annoyed, peeved, 
My dream poured rage for long piled:
I’m never fulfilled. 
Get not riled, my restless child:
What’s dream if fulfilled? Life smiled.

Avoid Susspense With Common Sense

When you sure want to avoid all the susspense,
Should apply common and humor having sense;
Up have never riled;
Lied to and beguiled;
Then try playing game of Truth Or Consequence.

No fuss about it
You being west and I being east
We took the split
With such kindness of release
And better friends remain
Nor once did you complain
Against my prejudice of class
The riled me to let you pass
I thank you
For being so understanding of me
The footnote for no posterity....

Small and fiesty at first
Tried jumping on couch countless times!
Went to farm; always wishing to be
Mud - splattered and happy
Zipped behind couch
Always loving chase towards the other end
Become ill - and quadraplegic
Had to be put to sleep
Shammi - such a wonderful dauschound...

(This is a fictional poem)

When I ate my cousin's candy bar, he invited me outside.
He beat the crap out of me and people laughed when I cried.
I need somebody to protect me from this bully when he gets riled.
It's embarrassing because I'm thirty-six and he's a seven year old child....

Words cut deep, on flesh,swollen
For saying unmet want or need
Power lies from one who controls.
Riled, in a turning wheel of steel chamber
One side his and another side none
He strips the ones, who share his life
Over ideals that are not his own,
It's him or the sidewalk
How pitiful his way of life....

Her demeanor mild,
Still a tad wild.
She's such a sweet child..

Beauty and charm well compiled.
She is never riled.
Her demeanor mild.

The angels smiled.
Curls that wouldn’t be styled.
Still a tad wild.

She absolutely beguiled.
Her toys neatly piled.
She's such a sweet child.

The governments are fighting.
They're handing us their guns.
Which one will we call evil
and will ours be the ones?

Our enemies a soldier
who's married with a child
who's fighting for their country
for fear that it has riled.

Their leader is a danger
of everything we know,
but when they start to mimic;
we'll shoot them full of CROW!...

Family Gathering

He dreaded family gathering and now
he was in the middle of one.

Tried to lasso the wind (Samuel Johnson)
of old slights remembered.

They turned to him called him a coward
always siding with his mother or being absent.

He just sat as not hearing the coward bit riled
as usual he absented going into his den....

A tough four-star general was this man called Curtis LeMay

   We in the ranks remember him as old 'iron-ass' to this very day

      He always had a big cigar stuck in his face and he never smiled

         And you'd be well-advised to steer clear of him when he was riled

Lois looked super dainty and delicate
With lace collars and tiny white linen gloves
Shiny patent leather shoes and pink ruffles
she sat as if on a throne, a little princess

Her three brothers knew better.
They called her the lava flinging volcano
When they riled her, she gave better than she got
She was a terror, cloaked in a little girl costume...

The wood is piled
my emotions riled
Sweet expectations
settle in my soul

Sweat dappled brows
my emotions drowse
sudden conclusions
fill in the hole

of my heart.

The fire started in the pit
warming ourselves 
in it's globe
and there we sit
like two lost elves
waiting to disrobe

Take your time,
Love
The perfect man
does exist.

the silence of this place
used to unnerve me
now I can taste 
the quiet serenity

to truly hear the sound
we need to hush
too much noise around
and it's lost in the rush

the highest breeze 
cannot be heard
without the poplar trees
to whisper it's word

simple silence brings peace
calming my riled soul
it helps to release
the sadness before it grows

The horse was born
Outside in the wild
Where hooves have worn
The intentions have riled 

The future running over the land
They consider what lies ahead
And remember the impacts of man
Greater fear of what they dread

Building of cities far and wide 
Have left no room to run free
Forcing the mustang to abide
Their freedom will cease to be

Trump or Fauci – take your pick – 
Only one can make you sick.
One is fiction, one is science – 
Choose which one deserves reliance.

MAGA crowds, so quickly riled,
Love to see their foes defiled.
“Fire Fauci!” they start chanting
As their leader keeps on ranting.

I’m so tired of this fight
So let it end on Tuesday night.
If Biden wins, we can be sure
We’ll hear from Fauci that much more....

a day to celebrate.
a day to enjoy.
a day for love.
a day for joy.
maybe a day to cry bout.
maybe a day to laugh.
a truly wonderful day, your on the right path.
it could be a day to mourne.
possibly a day to smile.
a day to smile through the fear from wich gets you riled.
riled up from the day that you face again and again. 
from either pain that makes you hurt,
or from the joy that you earned....
