Under the warm evening sun
Our soft summer bed,
Your wet kisses topple me
Onto the flowery sheets...

buildings topple, people run
shaken and injured
searching for family, friends -
hoping, hoping, all are well...

    I fixate upon vows unkept

  Single-handed I topple the Theory of Evolution
    For every year I come up inept...

show your seconds clear as cutlines
on the cross-sect of timbre,
but I can show you how to topple
the strongest man by simply 
breathing....

with a wedge of glass

we  split the rainbow

separate colors

into organized rows

of light

they stack

like dominoes

ready to topple

should we turn the lens...

Your shadow is limp and scraggly. 

When you try to stand from your bed- 

You almost topple.

As if you’ve been uprooted. 

Princess…

Let us bring you your food. 

So you do not have to wander like an alley cat....

I wasted my life
When you stole my heart
I withered away
The roses you brought me

You married me
And I’ve cooked
You got drunk
And I’ve cleaned

My Hoover
Your TV
My microwave
Your golf

My
Divorce
Your
Loss...

Sanguine lies
topple the true being
errant  calls beckon you
Tears in your eyes
seek fortune in the east
under cloudy skies
where hawthorns roam
There's a winding scope of reasons
song on a mossy bank
everything clear under open sky...

Restructure
Some wording
In the dangling
Of
Meaningless
Sentences

Writing is
The Sparkle
Crackling in
Forgotten fires
Inside
The minds
Time
To shine

Wind us up
And see
Us spin
Don't
Topple 
Us over 
Regression
Never wins...

What is fit for a king?
Is it to fulfill life long dream
Maybe uncover what was once unseen

Topple a giant and slay a dragon
Tell me what lifestyle befits a king?
Is it his wish to pluck a instrument with six strings?
Tell me...
How shall I fair as king?...

Beach time is play time
Towels, hats, sunscreen, snacks
Blanket, books and toys
Sun shines down on us
Water invites cool

Build sandcastles
Watch it topple
Lie down in sand
Race to the shore

Splashes rain
Giggles bloom
Happiness

Day ends
Good-bye

Home...

No Hypocrisy, No Cant


The lioness is wont
to practice no

hypocrisy, no cant.
The lioness

will topple her objective,
grapple with it till

all palpitation
finally is still.

The lioness then laps,
completely dry,

what unavoidably
may spill.

Trump's Toppings Topple

trump tries to think tank
that today's tomorrow thrives
thankfully to thee

tending the tree tops
trump trumpets thee's theory
thy timbers topple

to the thereafter
thy tapering tears thunder
trump's think tank twaddle's

Resounding heartbeat of the winds,
Resounding sounds of screams,
I hear their need for peace,
But I guess that's only me,
The trees topple like nothing holds them in their place,
And I just cry,
Tears stream down my face.
Life is hard,
But life is good,
La Bella Vita,
I love you....

AGREEMENT
There is nothing we can change to reach our agreement
Life is the toughest battle that topple the astonishment
Do you understand the sense of accomplishment
Let's have a straight talk about what is in your goal of achievement

Tanka 3
    

children so carefree
laugh while sand castles
topple in the sea…

shattered dreams may bring
teardrops in maturity

Baby born off of the bay
Inspiration is into the imagination
Right there ranting like red rovers
Tyrants topple from their towers
He hustles to have his hands hammering homes
Day when daisies drown in detergent; disgusting
And anyone able to achieve amazing accomplishments,
Yields the yellow yaks yammering about the yams.

Happy Birthday!...

Plans are often broken;
That’s just the way it goes.
Though written down or spoken,
We should still be on our toes.

For all the best intentions
May topple and collapse
And all our interventions
Might not fill in all the gaps.

We may feel bummed and thwarted
But the only worthwhile course
Is to have Plan B supported
Or to wallow in remorse....
