Meet me halfway across the sky
We may stay or say goodbye
So far so good on that same road
The travel started in similar node...

Tried a quatrain, it didn't work out
Guess lims are it until there's a drought
So far, so good
In all likelihood
Lims will keep coming till I like sauerkraut...

Wind swept fast,
the boat steadied on sails,
they bloated like hell,
and the boat ran ahead,
so far so good,
what would happen,
when winds dropped dead,
and the boat came to halt,
those not ready,
are running fast,
and simply muddied and greedy....

my nature is rabid
canine slobbering snout
sniffing begging 
'come out come out
wherever you are'
so far so good
living like a beast
should, doing things
you never could.
everything that shines
i bury deep down
under the crease of time-
i know right where
to look....

Different than what 
I have become accustomed to
Not the same at all 
Not at all what I was expecting
Jumped head first into a new world
One much different then 
The one I had been living in
So far so good 
Only time will tell
Keep my fingers crossed
That it will continue well...

Most people called her "Mona Lisa"
La Gioconda was a bella regazza. 
As far as good looks went, she had alotzza!
If she was living today, 
I would go after her right away. 
Her portrait is not enough to make my heart sing. 
I would be fervently pursuing the real thing.

Inspired by another member's poem....

Generic flying, eating healthy, fly like a cockney
Like a Martial Arts beast, like a young terri'ble.
So far so good, driving force, all cards in hand, why not?
I can breath fully, stop the intoxicants.
Healthy like a peach, living well, rich, powerful.
Living like royalty, wealth, aspiration, money....

Today's my first ultrasound
Tiny baby to be found
11 weeks to the day
We have found a way

So far so good 
All as it should
Last time such pain
All in vain

We lost a child 
My body gone wild
Such sorrow we felt
My heart did melt

We tried once more
This time for sure
I hope and pray
Everything will be ok...

Boomers from here to anon,
What turned us all on?
Our blue jeans of love,
Marched for peaceful doves,
Sun baking for brown.
Skin blotches do cast frown,
Our denim survives, 
Silvers staying alive,
So far, so good, I'm stating,
Freckles still proliferating,
Feeling young never grows old, 
We're boomers, do be told!...

The cable guy showed up at 5
And what was most surprising
Was not that he arrived on time
With no one compromising,

But rather that he did his job
And fixed what wasn’t working 
(Although I won’t be shocked
If other problems might be lurking).

So far, so good. With fingers crossed,
I’m watching my TV.
The cable guy was nice, but still
There is no guarantee....

When I am down and out
Feeling so far from good
And life I find in doubt
That's when my writing would
My deep, dark worries rout
A softer voice,not crude
Eases me from that bout
To better that dark mood.

And when that fog has risen
How sweet then is my muse
To swell my hopes of heaven
Hope springs quickly to infuse
Serenity of vision
Gloom and darkness to defuse...

Don't kill me one cell at a time
Don't wanna be a burden
Don't wanna know when I'm going to die
Please keep my cards well hidden

Don't kill me one organ at a time
Multi-Organ failures are a curse
It keeps you begging for death
And loosens the strings of purse.

Please do kill me at one go
I'll take that as a blessing
Life has been so far so good
Let death be a little pleasing....

Hidden in the dark
But drawn to the light
It’s worth the effort
That’s it!  You’ve got this!
All is possible

So far, so good
Still believing
Struggling upward
New and shiny

Bashful sprouts
Unfurled leaves
Wobbly legs

Hopeful
Promise

Spring!

We carpooled every day
I was in love, what can I say?
It was far too good to be true!
She was so beautiful to view!
She was like heaven to touch
I wanted to hold her so much!
But I was driving so had to wait
Until that night on our next date!
I thought a while to find a way
To pop the question and hear what she’d say
She said yes, and that was the start
Of many wonderful years, “be still my heart”!!...

How far my friends in the west
How far my diaspora classmates
We are one in the race of life
For we are all labourers
So how far my good people
Of work and eat in the field
Of labour
School teachers how well
Can the pupils grow into 
Elite podium
How well can the leaders of 
The crown do as stars
My fellow trees of good fruits
How well can the apprentice do
Life is not about how far we
Have gone but how well
We are doing...

Beauty is like the cover of a book
that's pleasing to the eye
but doesn't always revile 
the real person inside
We tend to asome
that beauty defines health and good
without looking deeper
beauty is often misunderstood
Those less fortunate
are often judged
and portrayed as villains
and far from good.

Beauty can be ugly
and ugly can be beautiful
it's just a case of being wise
and you may discover
and not simply
judging a book by it's cover.

There sitting on the coffee table
looking all so very pure and clear
cool and refreshing super liquid
does far more good than any beer

What exactly does this describe?
it's something that does you good
giving your inside to be clean
attracted whatever your mood

A glass of water
so refreshingly bright
such clearness like glass
mouth watering awesome sight

Really so simple a picture
one that's all together sublime
richness of fullest pleasure
have a drink at any time...

My list is insanely insane right now.
I started it a few minutes ago.
It took off as if it had a life of its own.
A bucket list of sorts.
Except for one thing.
I never intend to kick the bucket.
I intend to go out screaming and kicking though.

Bungee jumping
White water rafting
Visiting the Mayan Ruins
Traveling to Egypt without running into any enemies
Growing new teeth
Forgiving myself for all of my faults
Writing a list poem.  Check.

One check.
So far, pretty good....
