Casseroles are so easy.
Taking my red pot,
and adding some fun veggies.
Add great meat to pot,
mix in some water.
Now cooking.
Ummmmm!!!
He shook a croc
that took his sock
Ding dong, bing bong…
When it comes to this leadership… moron, Looney Tune, lunatic, dumber than a sack of bricks, umm… yep, sounds about right.
Sometimes God & I fight
me mad cuz umm God
you could have warned me of this one
I’m sick of these people
constantly testing my faith
A’nt you a christian?
If I had a penny for every person
that tried to condemn me
I would be a millionaire
Christians themselves with logs in their eyes
telling me to get it together before He comes
Well aren't you a hypocrite?
Where is the love or attempt to
Understand my current frustration &
Moment of darkness
Where’s this light of love you posses
Cuz you sound like that serpent in my ear
Reminding me that I am unworthy
When truth is I am unworthy yet He still loves me SO WHY CAN’T YOU?
Something’s happening, let’s call it sunrise, for now,
and summer vacation in Geneva, in umm.. 10 hours.
My heart-beat is spiking, like a flag or kite flying.
I’m leaving an empty room - making one last pass with a broom.
I’m stuffing my bag, with the last few things, for escape on aluminum wings.
My dreams, woven in bright, butterfly tapestries, are rolled and folded -
packed between urgent fantasies and harsh, time-sensitive practicalities.
I know you’re there, a quarter-world away, good news, pegasus awaits,
to streak gulf-stream high, over choppy oceans wide with mechanical fire,
its ice-cycle crystal contrail points, like cherub cupid's arrow, toward you.
Forget pixels, tech instruments, remote lifeline connections,
and prayer-like whispers over thin, criss-crossed wires.
I’m making my move, coming compass-needle true,
to press up close, reintroduce, extemporize and seduce.

Hey Diary
I'm happier now. I've been
On the pizza palace patrol Parole
For a few weeks now. The month
Of May is winding down. A few days
To go.
June 2051
I'm oh so nervous about tomorrow.
Diary I want this job! Oow. It's 12:55
In the morning! I should go to sleep.
I don't. No I refuse to wake up late!
Good night Diary HOPE FOR ME.
Please!
June 2051
Hey my friend Diary I haven't written
For a while because I'm concentrating
On my interview in about 9 more
Days! Umm I am definitely anxious
But trying to keep positive. I don't
Know Diary! I think I can I think I can
Oh! Hehe ha! I'm kinda scared. I'll get
Through it. Just having some
Trouble sleeping.
Okay gotta go! Until next time!
You wanna play a silly game?
I question him, What?
Tell me if I'm cute or hot
Umm... I'd rather not.
Was I afraid my feelings will be caught?
Maybe but maybe not.
Cute in the morning and Hot by the night
Nevertheless, everything's a wonderful sight.
When it's about you and me,
The best of both worlds is what I see
You feel like an enchanting Holiday glee
Hmmm... Actually, I agree.
Hey, still wanna play?
Another silly game, u mean to say?
A silly game of 'he loves me, he loves me not'
A silly game of 'do I trust you or not'
A silly game of 'we're just friends'
A silly game of 'let's see how this ends'
A silly game is all it is to say
But we're always wondering which one of us is fair
Does one player win at the end of the game
Or Do they both lose themselves and choose to stay
No matter what results at the end of the day,
By midnight the moonlight would whisper his name.
Please feel more freer to need more
Than the needier of neediest. Don't
Stress or bleed on my moneyness.
Oh my goodness it's the plush of Posh!
Do you not see? It is an EMERGENCY.
emerge and see. You see? Yes it's
Best to watch and see. Oh wake
And see? Oh or Wake and watch.
You just wait and see. It will be plus
Posh the stock flock. What's it got?
The spot? Let me tell you. The walls
Of those streets have the funds.
There is forever always a memorable
Celebration in all of their most
Luxurious homes. Plus these over
Their know soooo much plush. And
That's the Posh of it. At present
They are building castles and or
Major swagger of mega wager
Palaces. And umm what is your
Analysis?
"Give me coffee and no one gets hurt" Jim Davis's Garfield, the cat
I just woke up; it’s coffee time.
I’ve craved strong brew for fifty years.
With flavored creamer—Umm, sublime!
I just woke; it’s coffee time.
I’d lose my rhythm and my rhyme
without this serum that endears.
I just woke up; it’s coffee time.
I’ve craved strong brew for fifty years.

Um, sometimes I like to eat a lot of potato chips
Tackled by a stutter murmur of Deus.
The praying ended and packed as threats.
Err, umm, uhh, were cliched by vomits.
Grasped all the needs and rusty flirts.
Prune back Sheoak! The cutest green pine.
Pity Sheoak no more green crown again.
Where are Quechua and Sherpa? They go.
“Ouch”… yet expressed in mirth’s glee
“Uy”… that’s my brave boy, I see
Careful should you be midst zest
Hurt or strained; just do your best.
Oopps … falling is milestone’s part
Up you stand, and again start
Child, let’s learn from pain of game
Here’s my hand; success we’ll claim.
Oh, life’s “ouch-ouch” is alright
“Ugh” and “umm” blend with delight
Cheers from God bring victory*
Helping faith for sound “hurray.”
*1John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Acrostic in jueju form
3rd place, " 'O' Contest, NEW POEMS"
Sponsored by Constance La France; judged on 9/24/2021.
“This wittle wight of me, umm, I’m gonna wet it shine,
This wittle wight of me, I’m gonna wet it shine...SEE!”
He thrusts his pointer finger upward on the SEE....
“Oh, wet it shine, wet it shine, wet it shine...SHINE!”
My three-year-old sings these words over and over
Until I say, impatiently, “Jeez, give it a rest, will ya!”
“Wet it shine...otay, but your wight is gonna go out!”
He shouts, then, quietly hums the tune to himself.
The little guy puts the shine into his papa’s life.
With him, everything is just fine—inside and out!
