Rip Tide

struggle given up
   at last
resigned
to swirl
twirl
   and
inhale
watery reality
  top floating
trailing bloody strings
of wishful
    make believe

Wishful Thinking

To be literate makes us cock of the hoop. 
If we cannot read we’re out of the loop,
but can a slowpoke,
and illiterate folk,
learn to read eating alphabet soup.

Clothed In Prison

The Emperor jailed in wishful thinking,
 where only he could be

As I escape inside myself
—a prisoner running free

the gate of love and hope
and beauty flowered in wishful grace
fragranced
whispering quietly in the passing breeze 
to the keeping of my heart

Of my last breath wishful ensnarer 
Anxious for my ultimate demise

Time

I froze time with a kiss,
I traveled through time by reading.
I escaped it through music,
And I felt every moment by writing.
Then I took a wishful breath to see what time will bring.

Premium Member Intensity

Swelling in the heat
wishful thinking
laughter
what could be

Sitting on the fence
between corn fields and wildflowers

Feeding hungry mouths
Rubbing tired shoulders
Inadequate

Love

Wishful Thinking

If my voice was but a croak I'd write my lyric on a mountain high So all the world could see Note, I say not sing. Lest they were in harmony. There I go again, wishful thinking.

Premium Member Rude People

I do not put up with rudeness 
I am older now
I recognize it faster
I tape their mouths shut
Spin them around
Kick them in the petootie
and send them to the moon
Or is this just wishful thinking?

Cutbacks Are Bleeding....

Melancholy dreams,
         fourth quarter fiscal year end
               wishful thinking tears...

               Hegemony egemon 
         the son of satan, mammon
               chaotic havoc...

Premium Member Nine Month Night

Nine month night - light broke free like dawn. In babe’s face, impassioned pinking. From romance of wishful thinking - Too many threads to count, forgone. Potent, when God, she called upon.

Premium Member Wishful Buying

Exciting
Inviting
Lip biting
Crisp sighting
Stale
Stale

Stale
Stale
All five boxes of crackers.
We are two people.
Yet we purchase these as if all the children are still at home.
Wishful buying?

Premium Member Wishful Thinking

a contrived
       fiction
yet
sensitive..
      ..a coincidence..
perhaps..
a luxury,
         whatever..
modern
yet
     timeless,
coherent
       but incomplete..
a
source
       of
            day-dreams

Premium Member I coulda written that song, Purple Rain

I coulda written that song, “Purple Rain.”
It didn’t take that big of a brain.
And I coulda written that song “Hotel California.”
But girl - I do wanna warn ya!
I’ve always been considered at least halfway insane.

Wishful Thinking

Maybe if we sit in the rain
With nothing but our thoughts
The raindrops could turn into diamonds
To bedazzle our minds 
With the purest of congitations
So we could sit peacefully in the rain
With nothing but our thoughts.

W, you are so
Worrisome!

The Nearness, the Now

Hemmed in by the Nearness
Held back by the Now
The wishful striver, always, who
O'ercome both somehow.

Lost in an isle's sailed thrill
Sea-hazed, whilst safe moored!
As far unfound, delirious
Whilst by Time's Sea shored!

Wishful Thoughts

Torrents pound ground.
Raincoat over head
going for the mail.

Small dog - large voice
yapping on and on.

Dog now howling,

Lake Erie has thrown
a bucket
of cold water over its head.

It could happen,
it's a very Great Lake.

Premium Member Sanity at Last

Sanity is in fact the default setting
When dust settles
And dawn rises on a new day
Sober minds and eyes
Waking to see what needs being done
The hard and often dirty work of life
And not the wishful wistful dreams
Of hope and change

(11/7/24)

The Jester's Court

Backround information,
footnotes of the weak

Substantiating all excuse,
data incomplete

Reasoned explanation,
wishful thinking’s tool

For dilettante’s to build a stage
—to dance and play the fool
