When dawn drifts into enchanted meadows
         I flow in the dreams to where the sun glows
prepares for lark sounds tethered to thistles
         sprout winged feathers distinguished initials
daybreak cast expressed suppressions idles
         a desired forenoon plaything thumbs fiddles

precedence ground noteworthy work matter
         gleaning harvest spread the light of laughter

pigment spectrum goldenrod noon stretcher
         spruced grasslands lemony sliding fetch her
droopy starlight strands dusk ruddy runner
         sweetly evening brushed purplish lavender

midnight maiden bid moonwalkers strangely
         twilight tone-down twinkle moon pies lightly

Premium Member Pandemic Stew

Let's do dinner tonight at the Covid 19, the hottest new restaurant in town.
We won't need a face mask, we'll sit with a crowd and dine on Pandemic Stew.
We'll start with a creamy White Supremacist Broth served with Storm Trooper 
Croutons
And then there's a cocktail of rare Racial Strife heaped up on a bed of Brutality Ice.
For dessert, there's an End of Democracy Cake infused with Suppressions to Vote,
From the bar we can order a Vodka con Putin dumped into a large Diet Coke.
There's no entertainment, the band has left town but there's reruns of Trump Photo Ops.
There's a two for one special that's running this week, no need for cash on The Spot 
'Cause the sign on the door makes it perfectly clear, "Your Soul of America card Welcomed here".
Shall we go there tonight to the Covid 19 and dine on Pandemic Stew
And not wear a face mask and sit with a crowd?
Depends on what life means to you - it's to die for!!

Are You Happy

ancient laws 
of tedious wisdom
egocentric desires
of wanting flesh
neurotic minds 
are you happy
limping mangose
chasing a pregnant cobra
repressions suppressions
deep seated impressions
poison could be healing
purging of the disturbed minds
are you happy
wandering in the shores of love
singing the  expression of your soul


Goose Mother Rhymes

Mary has a little lamb, never would name the ram
Susie sat on a thistle, took off like a missile
Goose Mother Rhymes are a favorite of mine
I making them up all the time

This is great	
My oh my
Goose Mother Rhymes
Make the headlines

“It about time”, I’ve always said
U.S. Censorship should be dead
Don’t sit, show some grit, have a fit and then hit the nitwit    
Get publishing permit	
						
Let’s agree that: “This land is your land”
“Censorships”, “suppressions” should be banned
Inequitable, unfair, wrongful, and unjust
Therefore getting things set right is a must

These Goose Mother Rhymes are happy in the eyes of most
Censorship, is running on empty; a stop is close
Now the time to publish these Rhymes, they’ll be a hit
The Censor; “He was an egotistical twit”
