i left these monokus to soak overnight ~ they’ve plumped up pretty tight
were soft and squidgy slightly runny ~ now swollen need heat and honey
finally ready will they make the cut ~ oatmeal pancakes who needs smut

Goldfish drama
pitching sassy fit
moved to solitary confinement
as punishment
Inmates in water block laughed
Riling up new arrivals
Fish who will meet a similar fate
By morning
Goldfish drama
Aquarium guard sighs
Feeling sorry for newbies
Glad they cannot drop soap
Bullying goldfish
Running the A block
Chasing away softies
Or making them into slaves
Goldfish misunderstanding
Kept in impossibly tight bowl
Solitary confinement
Not realizing the benefits

Resolutions for the new year serves up zero interest to many
Endurance and resolve are twins required for real success
Settlers and softies should never undertake major resolutions
Off to the races in January and way off the paces by April or May
Like it or not, resolutions are not for the weak and faint of heart
Underachievers may not be finishers, but they too should be proud
The starters, even if failing to finish, are better off for having tried
Imagine where any of us would be if we never attempted to achieve
Observers and spectators stand on the sidelines, but not participators
Navigating life successfully involves winning and losing, giving and taking
Some inventors and explorers accidentally discover what they were not looking for

In me there is might that isn't light . In me a source of strength that isn't my own . In me I am it's edifice , in me I draw from great revelations . In me is how my foes know great woes , lofty foes slowed to clueless . In me is timeless understanding that never runs dry . In me is what makes fools wise , garden tools honorable . In me goodness is brilliantly increased , for in its rays men's heart's turn to softies . In me is holy . In me is victory , dominion that increases . In me is the holy spirit that knows no limits .
Like a sword
you stole into my fold,
Now tell me; tell me about us?
Do you think about us?
dissolved my heart,
absolved my hurt
Tell me, my love, about us
tell me about us?
softies sweet
and at doorstep of your heart; my feet.
Tell me; my love, about us?
Tell me about us?
And now that you’ve lose your wrap
what do I expect if not a stab.
Now tell me; tell me about us?
Do you think about us?
i am the one who trawls,
coming to you on crawls.
Now tell me; tell me about us?
Do you think about us?
heard your call
and though the wall
hide all about us?
just tell what you think about us?
