One woman of a certain percentage,
Kept her upkeep to skillful advantage.
As the years sped past,
She maintained her class;
Not turning old but into fine vintage....

Kitty shouldn’t keep the kitten Kitty couldn’t keep, 
But Kitty would’ve kept the kitten pity shouldn’t reap.
If Kitty would’ve kept the kitten, Kitty wouldn’t weep, 
And Kitty would’ve kept the kitten Kitty would upkeep.

Keep on keeping on along well-being’s upkeep

Kept by God, the great Keeper* in His keeping grace

Becoming well-kept around His love’s embrace

As true brother’s keepers, who, prayers can keep.

*Psalm 121:5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

Colourful pictures make people appreciate
There is sorrow and also happiness
But actual beauty is not the image
It's from the within, your inner creates

Architects, art and cultures on the streets
Am I  beautiful and all impressive
Personality and attitude we're to upkeep
And make art ponder what a beautiful piece!

Whispers dance inside my head
Reflections glance at a substance dead
Confirmations of my unpoetical pen
Only white spaces mirrored back
No one has a word to say
The mirror tells I should go away
The oceans piers toss me deep
Into contemplation of my rude upkeep
Sheepish sins, bitter gin
The naked truth
No one reads my scribbles doo
Oh how my dribble makes me blue...

Agrarian....agriculture
wet and dry affecting bolster
basic grain pre-market commodity
dispersal targets rift uncommonly

Feedstock fodder higher priced
milk,egg,cheese will future thrice
upkeep livestock feel the strain
lack of grain...we'll all feel the pain

Corn,wheat,rice and soybean
hot potato money machine
pass the buck absorb the cost
surcharge tacked as all not lost...

At the inner edge
Broken paths lie strewn, raging
Timeless confronting time
Bleeding bodies must resolve
We must forge ahead, regardless
Changing affairs delegate

Winds have grown, seas have changed
Though we continue the same mechanical upkeep
Measured energy and protocol
Debate strikes me as thin
There's nothing anymore to win

Simply carve your birth
Tectonic energy flooded with desire...

The Chevy Vega is something I won’t miss.
No other car in Detroit was built like this.
Off the dealer’s lot or out of the showroom,
the sound of the running engine was a harbinger of doom.
Upkeep and maintenance busted my financial bubble.
It always seemed to develop some kind of trouble.
This was the kind of car leaving many owners pissed.
It was usually crossed off on car buyers’ lists.

Lockdown has forced us to stay home for long
I cannot play golf but can eat and sleep    
Social distancing wants us not to throng
No one understands that my pain is deep
Need to practice my swings for their upkeep
No play may retard muscle memory
Making me lose golfing trajectory
Coronavirus, why you give such pain!
Golfing time wasted on cleaning bag accessory
Checking your spread though is a vital gain.

A particular precise master gardener with a touch of delight
lives in this castle, that looks glorious and bright
Her curtains are delicate, gauzy and fine.
She knows how to plant her blooms in a line.

She did not always spend so much time on this place
But she adores her yard and house, a gorgeous space.
Rarely entertains for upkeep and beautification takes all of her time.
She is totally happy with it, this finicky great aunt of mine....

Oh moon, be calm as you fade away from sight.
Beat shaped in my heart, and the pulse is harder.
Nature! Your artistic scenes outdo all heights.
Venus smiled as the Moon blinked in her harbor.
Stars made a pledge to upkeep the night sky bright. 
Ah,  jealous moon, recall daffodils ardor.
Shades splash in sapphire, arc's dazzling Edenic.
Grace nature, your brushwork is bright and scenic.

Isn't it funny how life works?
Isn't it strange?
The lies, the deceit; the image we are to upkeep
You tell me, who is real; who is fake
You tell me what is truly worth the stake
What is this life?
What is this love?
What is the end we all speak and dream of?
Peace
Forgiveness
Happiness
Does any of it truly exist?
Keep searching
Keep Watching
Keep running
Keep switching out 
The truth with the lies
The hope that hides
So deep inside...

Under new management
his skin became more porous
epidermal squamous cells
more translucent,
maybe he was just getting older
maybe the new governor
of his think-machinery
did a better job of keeping up with
everyday maintenance.
His eyes were never the best
but he often did not need them
to see through the obvious,
the unconscious slight-of-hand
chicanery of other's.
He also saw where he had been
a facsimile and ersatz to the hilt.
He chuckles now
as he cleans house again....
