Unclear air

With all of the donuts would finagle;
She wanted one covered with maple;
Sorted through;
Did see view;
Not any so I brought her a bagel....

Broken hearts
Under the bridge.

Stacked and sorted.
Sorted and stacked
Cracked and crushed
Crushed and cracked.

Broken hearts
Under the bridge....

The chicken squawked
The lady walked
The horse snorted
The mail was sorted

The Turkey gobled
The chick wobbled
The dog barked
The squeaking cart...

forgotten sad sock
somewhere tumbling and static
in the dark abyss of lost
pulled through a black hole
sorted by alien race
reborn as one of triplets...

untitled HAIKU, July

spring passed in hospital
at home my things sorted in eight trunks —
am I dead?

Paint an hour 
Sort an hour
My sister’s idea.
Brilliant except 
I sorted for thirty-six minutes
And it seemed like thirty-six years.
I go back to painting....

The design sketched --
shards of words and phrases 
lie in their trays  
sorted by colour 
and shape
to be fashioned into a new poem --
to dazzle and illuminate....

She went for the bowl in the middle
Which sorted today’s lunchtime riddle
Then she rested her head
In a medium bed
Till three hungry bears made her tiddle...

Dragged multitude of boxes out yesterday.

Sorted them madly, pitching stuff willy-nilly.

My husband offered to take it all away.

Brought half back.  Trusting him was really silly....

In the good old days, good people sorted
all the folks into “us" and the sordid.
The American state
was apparently “great.”
But what "great" means is poorly reported....

I will not be moved

You see
I won’t, will not 
Ever move from my seat

You see
I have a plan
You will see
In a minute

Now this is sorted
We can carry on.

Amen.

Once we have sorted truth from lies

Peace dwells fully without disguise;

And through lifetime’s need  to be whole

Integrity… our hearts extol!

England is surely not my homeland,
But their accents and easy going ways,
Makes me want to board a ship,
Set Sail for better days! 

I wonder if they'll see the Queen,
Phillip, Will, George or cute Kate?
Perhaps I too will get the chance,
Oh hurry Ship...Do..Not...Delay!

Cheers!...

We found ourselves  being quite frugal;
Hired priest who played a blaring bugle;
To our alarm;
Had no charm;
Hearing his sermon had been brutal.

With all of the donuts would finagle;
She wanted one covered with maple;
Sorted through;
Did see view;
Not any so I brought her a bagel....

sparkling true
angelic whispers for you
dream state melody right now
sorted wow fantasy blue

cherubs sing
in slumbering state doth bring
with the most gentle kiss
little miss romance will cling

inner glow
her heart senses love is so
forgiving and innocent
time well spent releasing woe...

words used as a wall
hidden meaning to us all
memories I recall
poems that hold me thralled

as I read some again
from the start to the end
not written for a friend
but for love intended

I've finally sorted out
what we were all about
and I still have some doubt
that it could have all worked out...

Enthralled appalled eye-crawl;
I was in pieces broken and torn,
balls of sorted pieces scorn and worn;
 now gathered reshaped and formed,
 refreshed rebirth flying high whole I am I've risen,
From a caterpillar crawl to a butterfly flown;

I can tell this paper 
how much I love you.
Spill my ink like tears,
sorting out my fears.

I can tell this paper
how much I want you
My lips upon your neck,
All the sorted details that
make me such a wreck.

I can tell this paper
All the many things 
that I can't tell you
And for now that 
will have to do.

never had a brother
never had a sister
born to great parents
loved my grandparents
have a great life
a great wife
why do I feel left out
can’t miss what you don’t have
some days I get angry with this
jealousy does not become me
hostage to an involuntary emotion
I’m both protective and human
now I recognize my faults
that’s me all sorted...

Quote.( Do not know who originated it, but used in the family at all times.)

"If your going to do something do it properly"





There was an old man called McGinn
Put all his refuse waste in one bin
It should have been sorted
His reasoning is thwarted
In clearing up his mess to begin.

A Mustang and a Thunderbird tangled

   Both automobiles were badly mangled

      When the cops sorted it out

         There was seen strewn all about

            Horse manure and feathers when untangled
