Premium Member Palmistry

Upon our palms
Hidden lines of the unknown
Revealing the secrets of 
Our past, present and the future
Wouldn't they change
For a brighter future
Maybe they won't
Because
Man is too careless
Too stubborn
Too greedy
Too selfish
And too proud
To change
Even his own image
Even when he's given a chance


Paul Reuter

Your father was a rabbi
and for you religion was not a hobby.
Serious as business 
was a belief endevour

until you converted into Christianity,
as you were concerned with eternity.
Spiritual solace you gained
from Lord but hardly.

Telegraph with news was speedy
and you were a business man
involved with money
but never too greedy.

Autumn Breeze

silent breeze, with swift precison
 
strips without notice.
 
taking all that it touches with it.
 
but it is too greedy,
 
and takes more than it can carry
 
leaving a trail of briliant reds and yellows
 
-the evidence of a grand theft.
 
with no one to challenge the autumn breeze,
 
it continues over yonder in search of the fabled fall
 
and its gilded trees

My Little Miss does not do 'aloof'
One kitty dash as I sit, and poof!
Lap kneading, too greedy
Head butting, so needy
I declare love, but she demands proof-

No Sunday sleep-ins will she allow
Every 6 a.m. is time for chow!
Pawing, purring alarm
Furry butt on my arm
No snooze button shuts off her meow-
