That manifests as a culmination. 

An illness that is widespread. 

Creating a population. 

That hides its exhaustion....

a tradition that connects all.
So common,

yet so unique in individuality.
A binding tie,

upheld in ancient lore,
Unicorns stand out as
unique, pure spirits, with
unusual powers,
unequaled in healing;
utterly magical......

It swept the world in all places; 
The art of the modern era 
Arose from the widespread changes.

Anyone seen my glasses, they're on top of your head!
Not trying to be funny but your slowness is widespread
Reaches all the way down
To your regions of renown
Cept when nature calls, WATCH OUT AHEAD!...

Keep coming up with these winners straight from my head
Was one of my best
Even amazed myself
Another is chocolate covered bacon, popularity not widespread...

In spite of a neck crick, ignore the pain widespread
A small price to pay
For the yummies on display
Instead of screams of pain, they're screams of joy instead...

When I was a young-un, looked forward with dread
Going for a walk would have to leave my legs in the shed
Walking would be difficult
Resorting to tall stilts
Still be wobbly and filled with foreboding widespread...

Seals seal their nostrils, can stay underwater for half an hour
OUR body would float to the surface and looking like cauliflower
Like kinda dead
Eyes widespread
One breath every hour could leave us with a taste quite sour...

Promises to keep, is the echo

Full of joy 
Like a vivid rainbow
Sweet dreams come
To make our nation fulsome
Prosper widespread
Ready for America freedom
Great day ahead...

Anne Boleyn Condemned 
  Declared England's Floozy 
Grotesque Henry Imposed Justice
King's Law Meted
Nobles Obediently Praised
  Queen's Reasonless Subjugation
Testosterone Unequivocally Vindictive           
Widespread Xenophobia
Yielding Zeitgeist

In this day of widespread obesity
THE TALE OF TOM

no!
but why?
he was kind
and so thoughtful
didn’t strut around
like so many I know
all the little ones loved him
i must say    though    he was so fat
he should have watched himself at mealtimes
just see how he overlaps the platter...

She had a haunted look upon her face
Her features out of joint in fright'ning ways
The crooked smile, her eyes unseeing, glazed...

Yet Helen Keller was a Queen, they say
Her regal bearing won her widespread praise... 

Although she was quite deaf and dumb and blind
She loved the world --- The world loved her in kind...

grey cloudy... widespread
wet words splashed on my paper
could have been a dream

naked
some would say naughty
laying on the beach

hope... a human trait
lost... fulfilled... realized...
wildlife moves on...

i am human
wife hospitalised 
might be gone awhile

the last
not fiction

I turned all the Seas into ink,

I turned all the trees into pen,

The widespread Sky the paper,

I did write,

Write,

And write,

End-

All the pens broken,

All the ink dried like a dessert,

The paper is filled in full with nothing to fulfill,

Still more your love to me,

But,

A dot more of mine to you!...

Fine Thanksgiving is day when we are grateful.
Horn's outpour of much grain, with grapes, and citrus,
nighshades, various kinds, along with lentil,
makes life pleasant this holiday before us.
We hope turkey's not hide of leather, old cuss.
Grand-scale feast, this our friendly time at table.
Widespread harvest crops make our country stable....

DOWN

Down and down
Until the murk grips
So I cannot breathe
Or cry out helpless
To unreachable assistance
Which never comes
With arms wide to accept
The burden from my back


Far above spins the light
An infinity of vortex
Closing and opening in never-ending
Optimistic pessimism
Full arm-stretch
And widespread fingers
Grasp at nothing
Continually...

N-ight is in bright zone, 
O-n the twenty-third of May; 
R-adiant stars simply give
M-eaning to the gray.
A-llow the moon to see the widespread shadow; 
N-ight is in bright zone, now that you stare from the window.

P-rime time TV shows
E-xplain why the dark isn't alone; 
R-ealize the silent meditation, 
E-ven the night is in bright
Z-one....

A computer can become a gun
pointing at your average homosapien

The needle through the butt
of the mis-coded elePHPant

The Low Orbit Ion Cannon
burning websites for satisfaction

Insecurity, the most widespread crime
allowing the good, the bad and the 
greedy of our time
to steal, delete and modify
the bits and bytes that make our lives....

and she quickly stole his heart.
One thing, though, wasn't fair,
with love mood in the air,
she widespread love with a fart!...

We all once read the same great books in school
Shakespeare, Dickens, Samuel Clemens, Hemingway
Each one a classic, thought to be a jewel --
With plots and themes still relevant today
A widespread range of characters portrayed -- 

But now these treasures, written by white men
Are labelled racist and misogynist... Amen.

When might was not right,
An inferno of genocide,
For all those lost in the Holocaust,
A tribute to everyone lost,
Widespread slaughter, the cost,
The massacre of the Holocaust,'
Catastrophe of mass extinction,
People lost in extermination,
All the survivor baggage,
Of such destructive carnage,
The world had to see the light,
Finally, when might was not right....
