standby

(a silly series of Senryus)

It’s time to cram for
final exams, again, so
here we go, mug up.

My mind, coffee dark,
drifts in academic dreams,
—think roiling oceans.

A ‘mandatory’
society meeting? You’re
not the boss of me.

I’ll shun or eschew,
if I want too, sidestepping,
like a tap dancer.

I'm not lazy - I'm
high tech and in energy
saving mode now.

It’s a pointed and
conscious decision—I’ll

Idealism on Standby

Welcome to our generation,
We hope you enjoy this fantastic nation,
Kids here stand on a quicksand foundation,
And fear their schools are a gunned down station.

When they watch the news near and far,
The horrors they witness leave a scar.
When they’re in school, their fears on par,
They remember their bleeding peers, free and barred.

How many wars are being

i close my eyes and there you are

Standby
Your name is called
To fly

Compelled
To keep you, I
Am held

By woe
And now I can't
Let go.

Standby

Just a convenience here when you need.

I'll put out the fire, when it's get out of control.

I'll calm the storm, so that it won't wake you.

I'll be your pawn while you wait for your Queen.

oh don't worry about me,

I'll keep quiet, let you get it out of your system

Until you all realize I'm trying to

Stork On Standby

A new babe on the way,
Does she arrive today?
The stork is on standby,
Is she coming down the slide?
A star in heaven's berth,
Winging her way to Earth,
Now an atomic cluster,
Has she got a dust buster?
Her future unplanned,
Soon in Earthlings' band,
When is she coming down the slide?
Right now, the stork is on standby.

Read all about…

Wait 
Why do we know
Everything that can be known
About the life and times
Of every passersby 
In the media 
Standby 
Yet

Still don’t know
Who rocks the vote 
Until we are too old 
To reap the benefits
Of the cash stash
That was slashed
Back when we were
Twenteen

And when did it become
Priority
To know every word 
To every

Standby Silver

Sweetness in each fugitive
those sterling smiles both could give

so practiced over polished years
together, shed the shyest tears

one stood beside the other strong
sleek laughter in a girlish song

and Standby Silver has me blink
such beauty in this missing link

most graceful are the momentary
four glossy eyes were temporary

false shadows hide their shining charm
gray darkness, does a memory harm

but
