He told fans to get a life,
Which only brought him strife....

I really should'a read the fine print,
it got hidden by belly button lint,
'cause while I signed it quickly
her lawyer laughed so glibly...
now I'm off doing a thirty-year stint!...

Only Weirdos and Odd Balls

Wirdos and odd balls Trump represent;
Those in jail for time short or long stint;
Have hair stringy,
Or totally dingy
Only ones who he could obtain consent.

Thru cracks in the clouds
    whitish sun glints
  No warmth issues forth
    barren rock without flint

  Clouds return ash-gray
    no matter I squint
  despondent sun keeps away
    done, today's stint...

Get the hint that your stint
Here on Earth has real worth
For how you act will impact
Where you venture in the future
So be good when you could
And keep in mind to be kind
That is all there is to it
Every person can do it.

Time
Our stint
Together 
Seems to glide by
Two days feels like hours
Those moments I cling to
Memories, like air we breathe
Till we are no longer apart 
Mutual love and trust our measure
Intertwined no longer you and me, us…...

Quatrain #541:
ROSE


Rapture of tints in blossom hues,
Observe fond hint in sacred dues;
See nature's mint thrill fragrant flair,
Etch profound stint that calls to you.

Quatrain #790:
HOPE


Heed that clear hint when your soul calls,
Opt for fine mint where pain brings gall;
Peace sparkles tint in a harsh test,
Embrace the stint: troubles and all.

I am not inhuman. 

Even though they made me feel that way. 

No- it’s not a tragedy. 

Because I am empowered. 

Through a loss of innocence. 

Through a stint of imprisonment. 

I have escaped. 

Only for them to try and hunt me down again....

Hanging by a stint
this morning. 
I can kid myself
no more.
The frequent rests, 
the loss of breath.
don't lessen but
increase.
I could plot the curve,
divine the date, but
found it more agreeable, 
in a Native American way,
to welcome each day
as a gift....

harsh
sleepless weary
looming working traveling 
career stint respite renewal
Delighting regaling jesting
felicity promise

When Life’s milestone we reach
journey thus far has much to teach,
It is Life’s co-traveller’s imprint
that marks the journey in our stint,
She spreads the joy that Life bestows  
and stands by when Life bangs its blows,
As we walk together hand in hand
let our Love for each other expand....

Short but meaningful
Let it be a hideaway 
Full with fresh and serene thoughts
Away from the ever evolving changes!

Brief, I  know though memorable
A stint stay swayed  in my heart
From lingering homesickness
Stationary until it is dynamic again!

Emptying my mind 
Is what I needed most!...

When time's hands stint
At 5 o'clock, the mass 
Discontinue.
Rolling money comes to a halt,
Pulls up at the red lights.
All drudgery abandoned.
Terminate awaiting deadlines
As the ever whiling world is frozen
By the heated energy of freedom.
Quit the working frenzy
For a night of wrapped up nihility....
