Tanka
When utilities
Are privately owned
We are prisoners
Caught in a web of avarice
Capitalism gone viral
Senryu
On the opposite wall
The sun shines bright and summery
Typical!
Words.
When I speak
I get lost in the fog of words
When alone
I can see forever
A Leprechaun found himself some gold
though, it was very very old.
He then went on a shopping spree
for houses and bought, seventy three!
But, he can’t pay his utilities, I’m told.

Enter the 'LIMERICKS in honor of St. Patrick's Day' Poetry Contest
L MILTON HANKINS
Assignment: 25,000 dollars to help a needy family
There is such a place that is for sale for twelve thousand dollars
I would do some minor renovations for seven thousand
Turn on the utilities one thousand dollars
Stock the shelves with groceries six hundred dollars
Window treatments four hundred dollars
The remainder would go to buy a car or pay utilities
For Carol's contest
political
social-democracy is a dressed-up capitalism
And you can’t have it both ways.
Sooner or later capitalism will take over
By transferring the utilities to private hands
Water is a human right issue so is access
To see unhindered the wonder of nature.
Socialism is about sharing recourses
Capitalism is by taking it and selling it for profit
The two beliefs cannot mix as human greed
Takes over if unchecked
I said ,"I love you ,"
He asked ," How so?"
I said," I troubleshoot and brainstorm there,
Where you are truly guiding me to lead a way
To clean the silence
Not to silence the clean."
He said, "I live there
pay my rent
Monthly utilities too!
Sometimes audible
Sometimes dusable."
I asked, "There?
You mean... There?
Do they have golden hair
Or heir, there?"
He shrugged,
"Just in June, sing soon!"

THERE is a lake somewhere
'midst pollution, coots & comorants thrive
Jewel in our overflowing sewage
Creation endures Curse of (ANC, Adam &) Eve
NoTE:
ANC is the ruling party & government majority in South Africa since the elections of 1994. With hardly a basic maintenance program anywhere, every hospital, school, office, utilities, and national treasure left THE ANC by its predecessor (NP, nationalist party) is an eyesore, tragedy, or will soon be).
Spending money here and there
Pennies, nickels, dimes and dollars
Prices raised without a prayer
Leaving my pocket with a holler
Groceries cost more and more
Utilities are higher and higher
I don’t really know what for
I sometimes wish I knew the supplier
Mortgages and interest take a chunk
What do I do about the price of red meat?
My paycheck has definitely shrunk
Buying one dinner is a huge feat
Maybe I’ll get a big raise one day
I hope that will happen this May
