in his day there tended to be blondes-to-go
now there’s Junior
apparently a frequent absentee for his daily nooner....

Flora loved pretty flowers
She tended her garden for hours
Every day she would be
Planting flower or tree
Her fingers had magical powers...

Today
This evening
As I tended my flowers
I felt you
Your love for me....
So intense...
I have never felt
Before....
I felt happy
No... not happy....
Thrilled is more appropriate.......

Poor old Doc Quackenbush is gone,
How he happened to fall down that well is unknown.
When they found him he was dead,
His obituary read,
"He should have tended to the sick and left the well alone."...

There was an old man from Missouri.
Biting his nails, he tended to worry. 
Taping his fingers to stop the bad habit,
he switched to candy wherever he could grab it,
and once he was full, he always got purry....

Unmeasurable tended act,illegal 
part of time,the less-beaut part of 
life,stilless storms in every form. 
They set the course,the beaute 
rot they want,but above all seeth 
thee in heart slayed shape.........

Body exposed and bare, sharp pins causing much sweat
then cared for and tended, the bath is warm and wet
comfort acting so surprising
toiling then giving an uprising
a world where negative and positive sing a duet...

i never
figuratively
but literally
try to make

a point
and my puns
are always in
tended with

out me
having to make
finger quotation
marks in the air

while 
trying to find a 
synonym for the
word synonym...

Archie Bunker
A good ol' boy,
Opinionated and moody,
He tended to be broody.

Edith Bunker
Was Archie's wife.
With a cheerful outlook she fought his strife.
The one bright spot in Archie's life.

Tended to by God Himself
Life flows gently by itself
Though nodes within, in joy prance
Void-centric remains soul’s stance

We look outward, through this form
Enraptured by a bliss storm
Having now become the flame
Tranquil eye, our claim to fame...

I had a thought…

And then the phone rang
The dryer buzzed
The dog whined
And the kids hollered.

I know I had a thought…

But then I answered the phone
Folded the laundry
Put the dog out
And tended to the kids.

I just know I had a thought…...

on the day we met
he brought me orange roses
their vibrant colour
matching the fire in his eyes
I caress the soft petals

in the center of
my love's well tended garden
orange roses bloom
through tears I pick a bouquet
to brighten his lonely grave...

sing, dance,
run and laugh,
learn, grow,
Bells' ring toll,
joy's flower blooms,
watered with love's gentle flow,
truth is it's food and patience it's light,
joy's tender bloom grows
tended by gentle hands,
given room to grow,
it's beauty is revealed,...

A thorn in the flesh of the green, green grass
Between the line painted straight,
And sometimes bended.

The reek of the starters gun so black
The bulge of the rippling calves, sometimes slack,
As spikes rip through the blades
Of turf so lovingly tended....

"still life"


on an un
steady

easel 
stands

a stretched 
memory of

canvas 
that can't

hold its in
tended so

left
blank

right as
it was

for all
time with

out any
painted

makeup
making 

you 
a 

painter's
master

piece...

My husband's Morning Glories shine
Reminding me of summer time
But now that fall is in the air
I dread the morning they're not there.

He tended them with such love
And now smiles on them from above
Each day they help to start my day
I pray cold weather stays away....

When love is 
unencumbered and 
free to grow as it will, 
it is like 
an exquisite flower, 
its blossom
unfolding in the sun. 
But if it is not 
nurtured 
and tended, 
the flower withers 
and dies
and there is 
nothing left 
except
fallen petals 
on the ground....

younger
lovers demand
flaming romance
maturity brings faith
in warmly glowing embers
gently fanned

lasting
tended with care
protected from
outside influences
by dedicated partners
glowing love

Surrounded in flowers
Alone with her dreams
She pretends not to notice
The old woman’s screams

Surrounded in flowers
Tended with love
She pretends not to notice
The rain from above

Surrounded in flowers
The colors so bright
She pretends not to notice
She gave up the light...

My Mother's shining love
when she tended to her roses
and her children.
Nurturing both to grow strong.
To look upon the world with beauty,
to always give love back.

In dedication to Joy, my Mother

I love as I was and then
My love, tended by your praise and slur
The blessing of spring, knavish sun 
I love as I was and then
I don't bow and shiver by wind, and arraign 
My scorched arms are insolent to spring and pour
I love as I was and then
My love, tended by your praise and slur...

vacant shell yawning
extinguished spirit spawning
a peek at souls
who lived within these walls

days and years of silence
that held in abeyance
the score of awful years
as due care disappears

tended garden dying
dead heads sighing
door finally clicking closed
silent ending unopposed...
