when it is time to use a rough

and flee an indigene.
Is the thirteenth board strong enough?...

a dear friend
may I present The Green Man
we once shared a goblet of mead
inside the head of a nobleman
sometime in the early
thirteenth century

Unlucky for some
The day of my birth
Fridays of thirteenth find horror
Yet happiness surrounds me
Thirty-six years have come before
In a year where hindsight's truth
Bring longing for time restored....

O-f August I have to write;

W-hite cloud thirteenth February
H-as left the night alone; 
E-vening shadows disappear, 
N-ew dawn comes to the

Dapper coachman frog wore his top hat with star power
He travels this route regularly, always at the thirteenth hour.
His steed is a caterpillar who hails from the Bigtown Bower.
He cringes sometimes, when there is a storm or hard rain shower....

It’s Friday and my old black cat
Across my path he goes
He does not care for human dates
His nonchalance, it shows

He blesses me by crossing me
At least that’s what he thinks
But since it is the thirteenth too
I’ve just been double jinxed....

L-et Monday night depart, 
I-n December thirteenth dawn; 
Z-enith awaits the beacon, 
L-etting you stop the

A-llow the rays to wake you up, 
B-y the time you open your eyes; 
O-ne lovely Tuesday is breaking, 
N-ew morning sunrise....

If someone paints a picture
And names it nouveau art
Hunter will claim it's his 
At five Hundred Large to start.
But Joe's still a Dipstick
he thinks oil is A La Carte.

C-hance knocks just once, 
A-im to grab it without hesitation; 
T-uesday thirteenth of February, 
H-ope and faith wait for your action.

N-ow that a rare opportunity
A-llows you to know God's commands; 
B-elieve and trust His words, 
L-ife's chance knocks just
O-nce....

I speak Renaissance’s of Non-senses, 
but it’s not nonsensical, 
Similar to the double negative that succeeds the thirteenth syllable 
Twist your tongue back and fourth so bad it feels like you swallowed gorilla glue,
Waste of all our time but you’ve read so what you gonna’ do?...
