Short Up To Now Poems

I was born 
in 1944
many things
have happened
prior to 
and since then
but being born 
was the greatest 
influence 
on my life;
up to now....

Very happy with my new fridge magnet
Up to now twelve fridges it did attract
Now that's very literal
Should explain it to all
You see... oh never mind, just ask your kiddies in fact...

FOR AMY  (triple Haiku)

in that secret place
to dream of those times just pass’d
sweet music and tears

gone not    but lingers
in the veins    on the fingers
listen    out of time

sounds come up to now
ghostly harmonies renew
constantly renew...

Someone told me what they saw last night 
A mirror reflecting some bright light
Rudolph told Dasher 'tis true
There was a line or two 
Oh! Santa's sleigh's mirror now turned white   


After reading Andrea's limerick about Santa being drunk..Just for fun...

Another dream
              I am
              I think
of my Red Vineyard
sold for just four-hundred

It is expensive here.
I pay in pictures

Up to now all is well..

My depression is to great
                         to bear!
What is to be done?

VAN GOGH committed suicide in 1890 just 37....

Hated, jaded — I get it…but I love you, my other beloved…other, ugh, you’re beautiful just the way you are and no one looks at the looks, but always on the books is important!

I am not ugly but no one loves me
They are so hungry for sex and money!

I am not sexually impotent guy
But up to now my life is full of good bye!

The people insult me for my gray hairs
They do the things whatever devil dares!

God knows I am not at all a bad person
But they treat me so bad for no good reason!...

We all have a set number of sunrises 
Maybe I’m about halfway through mine
Up to now I can confidently surmise 
That our most valuable resource is time 

Easy to get sucked up in the scurry 
Attention focused on the wrong things 
Better to wash away the wave of worry
Instead cherish the moments life brings...

There is a man in this world
I have yet to meet.
I hope he will understand, 
Concerning love, I have clay feet.

Not that love isn't apart of my life,
But up to now, has only shown me strife.
I want a man who will share life's ups and 
downs, not a man when trouble comes,
Is nowhere to be found.

God said,"it's not good for man to be 
alone". I wonder if He means women too?
Because Honey, there's something in side 
of me, that keeps me looking for you....

While waiting for my mammogram,
A most annoying test,
I had a thought no poetry
Has up to now addressed.

About the ones whose job is
Squeezing every woman’s breast 
And manipulating angles
‘Til it’s properly finessed.

With each mammary maneuver,
Getting patients more distressed,
She keeps kneading and adjusting,
Like a potter who’s possessed.

What a way to make a living!
Though it’s time that I confessed
That I feel much better getting
These reproaches off my chest.

What peace does man know?
When he chooses not to show
The sweet taste of honesty
In his chosen destiny.
Honesty  is the face of content
Forever the weapon of defense,
To guide the restless heart of man,
Frantically shrugging to take a stand.
Wake up sweet honesty!
Roam this land bold and free,
Condeming ignorance  on this earth,
Up to now, from the time of birth.
The garment of honesty is my shield,
Leading and protecting until;
Like the golden  setting sun
My days work is done!...
