Short Within Reason Poems

Time
Management abroad
Time has come
Entrepreneurship in
All negativity out
A loud shout.

It's time
Explore within reason
In the due seasons.

Time opt-in....

Oh those days when money was no object
Those glorious days of sunshine and songfest
Saw something appealing
Bought it, no ceiling
Within reason, of course, those days of great zest...

The world is strange with it's customs and laws
They're meant to be bent when we eat at the trough
Within reason I mean
Not too extreme
Not overboard stuff like molesting young squaws...

In this politically frightening season.
With uncertainty in every region.
Those seeking to erode ammendments, becoming legion.
Isn't violating our constitution considered treason?
I ask this question within reason....

A hypnotist within reason;
Charading as an apostle;
Crooning carefully along
Tablature of the mind.

A realism portrait,
In a landscape, never entered;
Like Moses, and the Promised Land;
A symphony never finished.

Always rehearsed....

Words rushed through my head,
 clearing cobwebs away

All letters on edge,
 cutting doors as they played

From one room to the other,
 they matched up and danced

And from basement to attic,
 my mind was enhanced

Within reason, beyond memory,
 they sharpened my feel

Until alone they then left me,
 — to confess and reveal

(Train-Penn Station NYC: March, 2015)...

Keep them busy, busy, busy
busy as a bee!

Let them train a dog
Rent him out to the neighbors-hard labor
Sports-any kind with lots of running/sweating

challenge them to write poetry, paint a picture or a barn.
Muriels, graffiti what ever their flavor-within reason
Encourage them to help other children that are less fortunate

Let me know, what you think!
Will it work?...

I wait, then rush, too lost in dreams
just sit, contemplate, perhaps abashed 
as rest of the world rushes past

persistent yet cautious
unencumbered by rule
trajectory undulates but I'm not a fool

the right to linger
freedom of thought
cannot be shaped or lesson taught

path is seen by me alone
or lost by me should mood dictate
seeking the meaning of life, prepared to wait...

I think love is
the only Complete -- 

needing nothing else;

love of health
love of wealth (within reason)
love of loved ones
including self

in fact, all of love
could not fit on a shelf
nor a continent
even a sea

let loose, would over fill a 
world out into vast outer space

with free reign would need a universe

Love's inherent capacity for infinite 
caring and grace.......

I love you little bluebird, I'll do anything for you
Well of course, within reason, but my statement still rings true
I love you with a love that goes beyond the universe
Into the farthest regions beyond the planet Earth
And there that loves sits idle until the day may come
Where it can show its glory, to you my only one
But right now in the meantime, if you don't mind my dear
I'll write you lovely poems to read while we are here...

I hate me to love me
I want you to know
I am not who I should be
I am trying to grow

Live life within reason
Live love and laugh loud
Live and like every season
Live to truly be proud

Laugh with your mind
Laugh with your heart
Laugh shows you're kind
Laugh from the start

And now you can hear me
And now you can see
And its not so clearly
And how can it be

Love that you read this
Love to just write
Love is my compass
Love with all might...
