Read Now Look to my wife.
    It’s sad, but it’s true:
When finished, she asked,
    “Is that about you?”
Read She danced with the moon
    and waited to see,
And sure enough, she asked,
  “Is that about me?”...

Last year I thought I'd give 
  my 'eager' spouse a palliative

Whenever he was in 'the mood for love'
  You know where I gave him a shove

This year, sure enough, he's much improved
  ~ After having his you-know-whats removed...

For love or money
  Mara told her mummy
I'll sell my soul 
  for purest gold

Her mummy shivered
  What have I raised
Mum well understood
  This was no phase

Sure enough
  Wedding bells soon rang
Jewels and gems in Mara's eyes ~
  Bill of Divorcement in hand...

Tweedle the teensy bee was being hauled along with a bunch of stuff.
He thought he was an afterthought, and said to everyone “sure enough”.
Mama had her grip on bags of junk, and he was the end of the line.
She rolled her eyes at his protests, a bee who knew how to whine....

The subject was dropped, but when Billy went out on the next run I 
was with him.  And sure enough, there was number thirty-nine proudly showing 
off her precious little boy. Billy just shook his head and shrugged his shoulders.
	Oh how I love spring!  The renewal of life and memories....

Seize good poetry
Make mad pretty


Take petty stuff
Draft sure enough


Play and ply words
Move soul now heard


See then the light
In cast of sight


Feel a deep core
In soul's fond shores

Sure enough, as fire particles gray the California sky,
And when stinky particles foul the dawn air,
You want to shout out...why,why??
Ugly masks only make it worse.
Don't yet call the hearse!
Citizenry have a plan.
Poetry in motion!
Recall governor,
Man!

more to life than meets the eye ~ said the blind man who slipped in a pigsty 

but some swine oinked pigs might fly ~ this trip up will cause a huge overfly 

and sure enough as days went by ~ eyes appeared damn vultures in the sky 

the lesson learnt here don’t ask why ~ sh!t just happens when in oversupply...

My son got a pup for his third birthday

and sure enough, they bonded straight away,

spending the day invested in child's play.


The pup's tail wags; and my son smiles with joy,

this present is better than any toy

for he loves his dog, and it loves my boy.

Mull over stuff,
Yield happy fare;
Sense sure enough,
Time alters cares;
Invite fond think,
Choice unfurls say;
Attend the brink,
Life hazards play.
Work out in kind,
Ink words that speak;
Zoom in and find,
Apt sounds that tick;
Reach with fond glee,
Design set free.

The other day I was lucky
enough, to see you; 

you made my blush 
you made me cry 
you churned the sky 
with every color 
known to man; 

God adjusted the lens 
I looked again, sure enough 
you streaked the sky 

with crayon shades on cue; 

Your repertoire of color
surpasses every dream.

Niche a bold will,
Opt to unfurl;
Thrill after thrill,
Imprint and swirl;
Choice now sets free,
Embrace good earth.
Appeal can be,
Hurl of new birth;
Align your path,
Reach for the route;
Meet sure enough,
Opt to forge shout;
Now glimpse true heart,
Yes heed life's art.

On a cloudy day 
Should someone ask how are you,
I would for sure say:
Joys of a sea shore, skies blue,
And God giving me my due.

And what would ye say
If skies no more are so blue?
Well, a rainy day,
Isn’t it a sure enough clue
That soon the skies shall turn blue!

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Wanted to lead the sleigh but had a major fear
If Santa called him on that night of nights...
He 'd have to confess, "I'm afraid of heights!"


Sure enough, fog came in on Christmas Eve
A summons from Santa he did receive
For courage he took a few little nips
Sadly, he remembers none of the trip..

Waves of air swirl
In windy twirls


Now feel the cold
Damp breeze unfolds


Yes this cold world
Dawn's freezing curl


Aim to keep warm
You thoughts now form


Feel the cold draft
Rise sure enough


Observe the chill
Lean on warm feel


Indulge kind grace
Charm in sweet trace

I wonder if your eyes reflect what they portray
If your body talks to me or if it's all a play
Wondering if my feelings are sane
I'm afraid to open my heart
I know I'll only hurt again
For now, I just want to know if you're okay
I want to appreciate you from across the hall
Until we're sure enough that
The spark we felt that day was really true...

Out walking in the woods one day
I found a creek that begged me to cross
Just a bit too wide to attempt a jump
And the only rock was covered with moss

I walked up and down the bank a bit
Couldn't find a log to bear my weight
After a bit of thought, took off my shoes
And sure enough, my feet worked great....

For the Dilemma contest......

Speeding!
I didn’t do it; I swear that I didn’t.
The policeman was drunk, I swear that he was.
Then he tried to arrest me, and sure enough he did.
I wish that I’d told him, that I was drunk instead.
I imagine the fine should probably be more,
But I smiled real sweetly, hoping he’d see 
I’m not a bad person, it was only speeding,
The speedometer lied, it said 53!...

Oh.. Mother nature
Why is it this way
Some days like summer
Others like Autumn

Summer season is short
It should be a lot longer
Do not argue with her
Let her stay awhile longer

In time Autumn will come
We are not in a hurry
For the cooler weather
It is summer season now

The winter season long
Will come sure enough
Bringing colder days
No one will enjoy...

I did the same thing once again
Sure enough produced the same old pain
Although I wished it’d taken another course
Longing for remorse

A better flaw I searched to find
In my heart and in my mind
A practice learned by gentle force
Longing for remorse

Resigned to never meet my soul
How to avenge what likely had been stole?
I cowardly avoid the Source
Longing for remorse...

Sunday awakens, stretches her arms
  It's sunny outside, the air's laden with charms
Can it really be October already?
  Sure enough, yet delight's holding steady

The morning is warm and inviting
  The skies are clear-blue, on a kite-string
Birds are still chirping, the green grass yet sings
   Oh, let winter come without warning between

The sunsets large on the yonder horizon

Herons fly across the illuminated orange sky

Another day has come to pass and time like the herons fly

On a journey into the unknown

To a destination that is far away

But something is for sure

That as we see that every day will end

In full luminescent glory

So another day will sure enough begin

With a promise of a new story....

When times seem tough
Bear with things rough


Then sure enough
You see new stuff


The harsh and vile
Stray just a while


Watch how you style
Your charming smiles


Learn to discern
As good thoughts yearn


Warm thoughts do earn
Just what you learn


Be willing dear
To live love here


Poise greets grand spheres
Love without fear
