Raising My Mind

Shutting my senses 
Hermetically 
Permanently 
Decisively

for Vanity 
Negativity 
Conceit
Arrogance

Puffiness 
Imagination 
Witticism
Presumption

Crisis 
Judgement 
And while I'm doing this 
I open my senses for love

Raising my mind

Silent

Here I sit again, silent,
 not saying anything,
 pondering instead,
 what it was I should have said;
Too, too late now,
 the moment's gone,
 the chance for some clever comeback,
 some clever witticism
 lost from this present now,
Which too quickly became then
 and suddenly is past.

Premium Member What Do I Know of Heroism

  
   What do I know of dedication, of devotion
       I who have not fought on land or over ocean

   What can I recount of sacrifice
       I who was raised in America, in paradise 

   What can I tell of bravery, of heroism 
       I who pen poetry and witticism

   And yet I’ve engaged in mortal combat, my dears
       ~ Been married now for nigh on 50 years

Premium Member Mother said ---

what she said could be seen as hyperbole
not to come running on broken leg problem
but her wisdom portioned into golden prompts
saving for a rainy day comes up empty
the free market could benefit by her depth
she’s open-handed and supports socialism
however her intentions were never false
like threats of waiting for return of husband
witticism unsurpassed by comic excerpts
Mother is an apotheotic angel
Form: Verse

The Non-Wastrel Queen

a true legend with spoken words
the world’s oldest reigning monarch
rarely gives interviews
personal feelings not know
her beliefs fundamental importance
well known for her dry witticism
habits were parodied by media
know not to be a teetotaller
wants to see her kingdom live forever
hypocrisy lessened and faded
the future British world is hers
truth her glory, riches, and honours
reign acquired but never regretted

Premium Member Best Friends

Best Friends Tom Wright When close friends depart this life, And voice, by time, is stilled. There's left within our hearts a void, With fond memories to be filled. In dawns muted hours, I still recall, Jerry's witticism as if today. Though recent years have bolted, Since time whispered him away. Theretofore I'd regarded not pain, As being part of our friendship's cost. Until death's gurney slowly passed, And I beheld the friend I'd lost.
