Sandwiched between spring
and autumn’s aura
…in the midst of rising and falling...

As I turned to swallow the bolus
I had been chewing all long
with all the contents sandwiched
Between my toothless Jews long
I succumbed to a real toothache...

A new moon of praise is here 
Unlimited hopes to start with 
Goodness on its wings 
Universe sets to yield its goodies
Showers of blessing in stock 
Testimonials of breakthrough sandwiched...

Warring kiddies hiss like snakes and stick out forked tongues;
They disagree on who started the fight first; both y e l l i n g..."Liar!"
Parents fish for the truth, sandwiched between the crosstalk.

“A good beginning is half the battle”
                     and
      “All’s well that ends well”
      Are sayings from long ago.

The part that is sandwiched 
       in between is why
   I’m not sure if this is so....

Weather
Written: by Tom Wright
January 2015

Sandwiched
Betwixt winter’s frigid days,
Already half gone 
And nary a snow day yet;
Un-hoped for temps
From sun warming rays, 
But February normally develops
A major threat;

St. Lawrence river in the spring 

when a lake makes the ocean its' dream

shallow ice and sand bend the wind

the twigs begin to twitch and spin

sandwiched like a water gin

buds burn through the fragile skin

never is there  amendment 

sloughed grained signals silently sent 

as vast white  feathers float to shore....

Sandwiched between noisy neighbours 
We hear them putting their labours
In screaming matches 
Boisterous snatches
Seems like they're fighting with sabers 

I wish we had placed soundproof glass 
So that no sound, no noise can pass
All would be quiet 
Unlike the riot
Our neighbours create and trespass

Come clouds come away down
Just enough to see the future
Bring the sun sandwiched in news
Between yesterdays and tomorrows
With as much blue you can tolerate
Riding on those yellow beams bright
Allow the sky time to decide if night
Should be dressed in stars or moon
Or if the the day should have afternoons
Or simply covered in you my friend
A cloud a fog to come away down
Just enough to make me proud...

He's sandwiched between two women
                  aggressively pursuing him.
         He's done more than enough to prove
             to both they should have nothing
      to do with him, yet they keep coming back
      to him, but it is his problem or the women's?

TWILIGHT TIME

A dawning of another day
Is sure to come
But I cannot fathom
This lonely feeling of mine
My heart is nervous
I cannot understand and control
As if this day would never come!
Now, I think of the past
Beclouding my future…my faith
And yet I aspire
For the rainbow,  for hope
Yes, I long to see you again and again
It is inevitable but it is sandwiched
Before daybreak and twilight time 
   is here to stay forever!...

"You say you want a revolution" screamed the four,
John, Paul, George and Ringo beat down the door.
Melody and harmony and Brit sex appeal gone anti-war
Nine times round the turn table with Yoko, hardcore. 
Fab stereo artists with composite collages for musical scores,
they kicked, whined, smoked and dined in venues top-drawer.
Number 9 was the cut most radical by lore
chaos, poetry, and prose composed with sound effects galore,
a sandwiched montage of "what are you looking for?"...
