              woke

               who

              what
   
             where

      who woke what
               why


I Woke Today

I woke today
only half the man I was yesterday

Newtown still rings out, 
as the souls of the lost ring inside my head.

I woke today......

Premium Member Before Anyone Was Woke

Allen Ginsberg wrote 'Howl' 65 years ago
  Before almost anyone was woke

Read his poem carefully, my friend
  See America's downfall stoked

Oh, how the young lady wanted to dance,
           But only, with male species in sleek pants!

Marley Muringakumwe

Given board and room.
 A face, teeth, soccer ball feet and an almost perfect face. Funny when he shaves, He craves, begs, checks and says.... "Ndakamuka."

Woke goes broke

A man got shunned from a haven
The host made rules that were craven.
Peers banned his prize joke
for fear of the woke
Proud noses were pecked by his raven.

WOKE

When white lies plot the course 
Oscillating between trust and deception 
Kindling radical dialogue with smoking tongues 
Escalating unilateral world supremacy

Premium Member DAILY GRATITUDE THAT I WOKE AND TO MAKE THIS DAY COUNT

DAILY GRATITUDE

When I wake up I immediately feel grateful that I woke…
and then
I remind myself to make this day count
for I will never have this day again.

Woke Up, Feeling Refreshed

I woke up, feeling refreshed
I am now in anguish in dread
I woke up, feeling replenished 

Out of my head, I feel out of my head
I sometimes feel dead though instead

Premium Member Woke is Wack

Winnie the Pooh now is uncool
The Cat in the Hat worse than that
Charlie Brown found to be unsound
Bugs Bunny deemed not funny
The woke is wack
Get your sanity back

Premium Member Fully Inclusive

(Lily, summer 2025)

Fully Inclusive

The beauty 
Of being fully inclusive 
Is that nothing 
Can possibly offend you.

I have a dog like that….

But It's Even:

***BLISSIER!***

Premium Member DAILY GRATITUDE PROUD TO BE WOKE

Every day when I wake up
I’m grateful for the happiness waking up evokes…
I’m not only grateful that I woke to a new day
but in this political climate…
I am also grateful to be woke.

Woke

--- not stirred ---


same old, same old


bourgeois trojan horse


dusted off, trotted out;


the newest "enemy of the month",


thriving any town is lost


conquered divided.

Squandered the morn
Afternoon, blown off
  Wait! ~ ls this day my last?

Premium Member The Woke Joke

They were of indeterminate gender
They were of indeterminate race
They did indeterminate things
In some indeterminate place

Premium Member Woke Up Dead

A strange thing just happened, I woke up dead Was on my way to the promised land ahead Angels were singing To my jammies, was clinging Then the alarm went off and I jumped out of bed

Mountains of Florida

Traveling the mountains of Disneyland
        Much higher than those found in Ireland
        When you’re drinking ale
        It’s like reading braille
       And doesn't much matter what car you're in

When I Woke Up

When I Woke Up

When I woke up after going to bed
Would I be in a State which is red
Or have been blue
In my flag I knew;
To hear another politician I do dread.

Reality (I Woke Up)

Today I woke up!

I woke up! 

I woke up! 

Yes, I woke up.

I was brought back to reality.

Reality? 

Whats reality?

Oh reality is a life full of pain,

and full of joy.

Reality is  . . .  bittersweet.

Dream-Woke

This my friend's look, fresh of one
Charmed, and far away.
This my own wishful thinking 
Which now has drawn in!

Piece by piece, glassy-sparkly;
Fragments of a dream.
Left me this picture to form;
Future lover's norm!
Form: Rhyme

When I Woke

When I woke up today the first thing I did was cry
because I had slept so long that there was nothing left of my previous high.

So before I can start or move on with my day,
I must first stab my pain and chase it all away.
