Spare the Rod
She whimpers
She screams
Bad temper
It seems
Mom wallows
Dad screams
Pain follows
Bad dreams

Icarus
'Once you have tasted flight,
you will forever walk the earth
with your eyes turned skyward,
for there you have been
and there you will always long to return,'
wrote Mr. da Vinci (1452 – 1519).
In school I did learn
the plane truth,
and for your information,
it's a collection of spare parts
flying in close formation.
And was it not Icarus in his day
who,

spare me please
don’t thrust belief on my heartbeat
for I dwell not in lower mind
instead feel love’s magnetic heat
bliss delight which I follow blind
with vibrations of God aligned

...'wowza' again...
a spare row of
creatures take...
their last step

sparrow feeding
in the front hedge...
just a half hour ago
another got nailed...
while i watched so
the mystery is gone...
sparrows will land on

hawks avoid us and so
we're predatory protection....

Spare Change
Can ya spare a little change?
Purple pleaser, are you a teaser?
I like to flatulate on the bench
Where others have eaten their noonday lunch.
I say, can you spare a little change?
Clouds race by, I wonder whose winning,
Who will reach the noonday sun, first?
I could use a little change around

Buddy Can You Spare a Dime of Humanity Or Humility
I heard you correct
The first time
All you ever initially asked for
Was buddy can you spare a dime
But thinking I am so kind
I pulled out and offered you
A $100 dollar bill note instead
Honestly I think for the sole reason because
So I could lord and let myself
And believe my goodness
Go to my head
So buddy

Spare the Rod, Spoil a Child, Story Poem
Back in the early '50s, my Dad believed in,
"Spare the rod, spoil a child," his lesson seeping in.
As a young growing kid, I longed for playtime's call,
Believing in the joy of games, both indoors and outdoors, I stood tall.
Mornings meant waking up to breakfast's warm delight,
Then off to the playing field, where dreams took flight.
Soccer

Adult Spare Insults
A long stare at one is plain insult:
I’ve never done that to an adult,
Even one in his dying Renault,
Badly harassing him with some fault,
Wanting to end up in their own vault
Or owner dispatch to his own vault…
But should one adult spare insults,
Who has been offering open assaults
And could on a youth use catapults
With all

The Best Combination For Marriage
For marriage would you seek out a pair?
I humbly suggest you make it fair
Bald head rejoices over long hair,
A guy of stout builds a woman spare;
The bloke with bad eyesight who can stare,
The man always stern any spouse fair…
For wedlock, someone with triple chin
Should excuse a wife with a strange skin,
Women with tongues like the

Spare My Pain
We suffer in silence yet our
hearts bleed out loud.
We cry in agony yet we
scream in vain
We hope our hearts, keep our secrets
sealed yet my eyes reveal what my
hearts trys to conceal.
We fight for strength
We battle for bravery
When our soul tires we pray for release
We bruise our heads,
We cut our heals,
we grieve for those we love.

The Ugliest American President
Views rather point to Nixon,
By far handsomer Jackson!
Nixon’s swollen cheeks did grieve
But views should this to me leave…
If Nixon owned ugly face,
Did the rest of him show trace?
A Beauty Judge would face praise
But owner ‘Not The Crowned’ says;
“Had Straight Legs swapped for The Curved
And not Flat Tummy eyes served…
Back I’ll go to the buddy,
For his

Spare Room
I thought getting it out would help me within; But sometimes when I hear my words, I become absolutely catatonic.
It's like I created a safe room inside of my head, a place where I now go when I remember she's dead. A room with no windows, the walls smeared with sadness. A suffocating force,
