I hope your day goes well
To anyone left off that list,
You can all go straight to Hell

Lord, this
Stiff bow
Needs a straight arrow
My faith is resilient
Even though,
A flock of arrow
Have pierced this heart

Leonard Nimoy (Mr Spock),
His music career quite ad hoc,
Sang of Bilbo in sixty eight,
With his fringe still Vulcan straight.

Saying Right Over There and Pointing To the Left

Sometimes Rights
should be left
get your head straight 
forward think
and let common sense
direct you
you can’t go wrong

once 
in a great while
snow falls
straight down -- 
no icy slants
no whirling dance --
past Autumn's

The screen is always straight.
The screen is always blank.
The constant noise keeps going...
Though there is nothing...nothing.

Moving in straight lines
With an unwavering mind
To accomplish goals,
Regardless how big or small
She's always giving her all

I was up at the crack of Dawn
Who was sleeping with nothing on
A little peek
A little sneak
A Straight Flush beats carrying-on!

A Trib To the Realest Dreamer

Walking the straight line
Hellbound, gunning for heaven
Military mind
By shadows can't be worried
Else your dreams will be buried

Straight down the line with a strong moral sense.

The Little Sparrow

Edith Piaf was a sparrow
Who ignored the "straight and narrow"
No pure white dove
She sang for love
Just as wild as Cupid's arrow

Turning back my head
And grey smoke rising straight up.
Who will speak for me?
Tonight I drink to excess;
I am young...any excuse.

Premium Member 50 Years Later

In the year 1970
  dawn of a new day ~
"To be gay is OK"

In 2020, is it too late
  to proudly state
"It's great to be straight"

Meerkats stand on mound entrance
Straight, erect, alert watching
Almost undistinguishable stands
A garfield like cat, adopted child

Straight-Face

I'm not sorry I know who I am.
I'm not sorry I know that I can
Understand
What you are,
What I want,
What we need.
I'm not sorry.

Larry used to tell lies
Looking one straight in the eyes
He came a cropper
When telling a whopper
Because telling of lies he denied
