Short String Him Along Poems

velvet voices dance with vibrating violins
octaves often overreached, to
inoculate innocence in
children's choirs, our
expectations exceeded, our experiences
string us along, and strangles us subtly...

My life is barbed wire
Shall I string myself along?

Suppression takes more forms
Than Playtex has bras
Am I to be dominated
By someone else’s God?

We addict ourselves
To all we hold most dear
Our loves ... Our fears ... Our hatreds

Enslavement is liberating!
Pass ME the yoke
Of freedom...

how to write haikus
its not big news that you choose 
only a few words 

if you like short ones 
then haikus are your best choice 
just string them along

if you don't like long,  
and overstretched sentences 
keep it very short 

count your syllables 
first five, then seven, then five
a perfect haiku 

can read very nice
so there, now you got it friend 
go ahead and write...

Lost and unforgiven
and yet…
not forgotten.

String me along 
to the upcoming of dawn
a place of pleasure
and words still unsung.

Dry up the river…
There is no longer reason 
for you to cry.

Crave me…
as I’ve craved you 
in the mist of the dawn
on this broken road

Where nothing is wrong
Where nothing is gone

Walk with me
in to the dawn
of the yesterdays…
that are now
and forever will be
Today’s....

Woman-owned green beans won't string you along,
But if you're a man, it’s likely you're wrong.
Woman-owned green beans, our virtues extole,
Hand-picked from the bush, eschewing the pole.
Woman-owned green beans for the man of the hour,
We’d best make that two, they still need a shower.
Woman-owned green beans are never on sale,
‘Cuz working for less is beyond the pale.

got a chuckle out of this label at the store......

I can't bring myself
to read the front page news
with which they string us along
as portrayed by the views
of those with a vested interest
or the rest with an axe to grind
who must think we're all
just deaf dumb and blind
to the truth of which there's more
in the speech balloons
of the funny characters
in the Sunday cartoons
it's all a waste of paper
other than those comic strips
and really only good
for wrapping fish and chips

You may never see one laugh
Though you may sometimes'
See one cry
If it is a rush to Evil
Then they can be so very shy,
Yes, if there is cause for testimony
He will only lie
He will head for the foothills'
Till another victim come's by
To the detriment of the
Fallen truth of the truthful
He can seduce you with
His evil with-in a song, song
He will string you along
Fore he can sell you with a song
While he makes' you a true believer
As you surly sing along

GF...
