I try on words
Like hats and shoes
To see which look
Best fits my muse.

Poem of the Day
August 1st, 2020
Day one without our lim'rick dad
It's cloudy and I feel quite sad
I sneak in his room
Try on his perfume
and call his harem to come to his pad
There are more nos than yeses
when my wife goes to Talbots to try on new dresses.
Each dress has to fit her just so
that only her best features show.
And the rest she leaves up to wild-ass guesses.
shy teenager
coaxed to try on lipstick~

Plump went with Pulchritude
to try on a dress
The tears in her eyes
bespoke Plump's distress
Pleasing put in a good word
Pleasant chimed in too
But all was in vain
~ as Pulchritude knew
Another night of dreams,
one after another, flickering half images
echo real events but bare my heart.
I try on new realities,
like dazzling garments or popup stores
of evanescent wants I may not admit to myself.
Running away,
Stayng behind.
Not knowing what,
Is on my mind.
Not wanting to change
'Cause I think I'll lose
Then wanting to try on
Someone elses shoes.
I'm feeling serene
I'm feelin' no pain
But now I think
I'm goin' insane.
you try on the horns
they never settle just right
you remember the first time
nervous long night
of sacrificial insights
silence shattered
by shrill screams & blood spatter
you try on the horns
nothing is ever like the first time
voluntary or otherwise
I glance behind me,
I look left, then right.
No-one must see me.
It wouldn’t be right.
I am a gran,old,
But young.
With lots of pep
And vigour
To have some fun.
I glam up
With make up
And try on
The high heels.
I dance round the house
to see how it feels.

For every glow of your shine, there will always be others who try to extinguish your flame than to learn how to glow on their own.
Considering all resources that they spent trying to extinguish your fire, they would have shone already if they only chose to try on their own.
You watch me try on mask after mask
Always knowing which face is true
But when you wonder, you just ask
And that's why I love you
You always seek beneath the surface
Never frightened of the dark
You understand that I can act
But loving you is not a part
You accept my secrets like a gift
A magic spell only you can lift
' Twas entangled in marshmallows.
Trying to make rice Krispie's.
That could share with goodfellows.
Maybe should have tried Swiss cheese.
A system tried to develop.
Waxed paper didn't untangle.
Many emotions did swell up.
Hand, mouth, tongue 'twas entangled
3rd try on this Ae Freislighe poetry form
When kids can’t read analog clocks
There might be some stumbling blocks.
Just try on for size
The expression “clockwise”
And watch as confusion unlocks.
For both “clockwise” and “counter” are based
On the way a clock moves as it’s faced.
Though with digital screens
Who can tell what that means
So that concept just can’t be embraced.
WINTER is...
Wearing woolly jumpers,
Inside days,
Nose-tip dripping,
Table games,
Early off to bed,
Reading books.
WINTER is...
Wiggling toes warming up
In my room as the heater blows.
Noses are nippy out in the cold.
Try on the boots: “Too small!” “Too old!”
Eating a pie with lots of sauce... and then...
Running off with a soccer ball.
It's still in writing
one headline at a time
moving as fast as lightning
as swift as any pen
With its many highs
and lows
the dramatic decisions
my work so many see
Played out like an actor on stage
entertaining the masses
shocking the world with each move
resembling a game of chess
My life
the choices made
watched by millons
but judged by all
though none wish to try on these shoes

How many hats does she wear in all? I asked.
The leopard rolled over, his body happily sun-basked.
Did you count the hats? I asked the tiger lily.
She giggled at me, making me feel a tiny bit silly.
How many hats in all? I asked the python.
He said don’t really know, but let’s try on one.
So, saying, he flipped one upside down on his head.
I got away fast, for he looked like he had not recently been fed.
Love is eclectic
Love is eclectic;
Fire heart;
Lone star…
Afar.
Love is a gesture.
Open doors;
Pull back the chair for,
The romance of it all.
Love is a question.
Would you like?
Do you feel alike?
Will you become my bride?
Love is patience.
Try on clothes.
Wait by the phone.
Save up to buy a home.
Love is endless.
Faithful;
Truthful;
Wonderful.

"I shall be telling this with a sigh"
Robert Frost, The Road Less Traveled.
Mom
took me
to try on
my first pair of
contacts -back when the
soft ones weren’t yet for sale.
As I struggled to endure
a feeling like stones burning in
my eyes, I looked up to see my pain
mirrored in Mom’s own face, wet with her tears.

I feel you toes,
As I enter the Polar Plunge.
I know you toes,
As I try on sandals for fun.
I cleanse you toes,
As I take my baths.
I fear you toes,
Upon the ledge, the devil's wrath!
I love you toes,
Always taking me to safer ground.
I laugh with you toes,
Playing footsies with women around!
I age with you toes,
Caretakers help with friendly slippers.
I die with you toes,
At the start of the body bag's zipper.

To see the Lady in the harbor
From the deck of ship at moor
The sea and the winds that blow
Tell of freedom where liberties glow
Protection enshrined in its constitution
Articles of Confederation
The lamp lite for the world to see
Brought millions to cross the sea
The crucible an emulation of humanity
Every race and culture creativity
Is the hope still alive in the U S A
Only those with wealth can stay
Give us your tired and poor
Time to try on another shore
