Again, I take my pen in hand.
Bring words to mind, so I can plan.
Compose a verse quite fresh and new!
Deciding on what style to do?
Each letter then I will suggest,
Flows quickly through the alphabet.
Great, this shall give me loads of choice,
Hoping you out there hear my voice.
In-case you don’t I’ll write it down
Just to ensure you will not frown.
Kindly yes, I considered that,
Let me decide the right format.
Making the meter rhyme I say
No other style for me today.
Organised with this choice, just made,
Presuming brings me accolade.
Questions although could still be asked,
Reviews received could me unmask.
Still, I shall understand if you,
Turn aside and do not review.
Undecided? you may have heard,
Value now from my written word
Will bring a Merry Christmas too,
Xeroxed this now sending through.
Yes, lastly, I will cheer and say,
Zip-a dee- doo dah- zip-a-dee ay!

Far above you, quartz jewels.
Beyond real.
Heavenly stars everywhere.
Xeroxed millions of times.
Zooming past. Creating glowing visions.
What divine inspiration.
Underneath karmic night lights.

Angels altruism all around
Beyond beautiful blessings
Creating, captivating, charming
Determining dreams decorum
Enlightening energy exclusively
Forever feeling freedom’s flow
Growing grace glows gradually
Happiness healing heavenlies
Imagination instilling inspiration
Jasmine jokingly jovial joyousness
Keeping kindness kindled keenly
Love lighting liquid labors lamp
Miracles mystifying mysteries mind
Newness noticing nice, normal naivety
Observing open obsessions obscurities
Praising peaceful presences phenomena
Quietly quivering, quoting quests
Remembering rich, radiant rainwaters
Still, small songbirds soothing serenity
Truths told to testify tremendous types
Understanding united under ultimatums
Vulnerabilities vibrating vehemently
Warm welcomes warranting wishes
Xantheins xeroxed xanthenes xenias
Yesterday’s years, yearnings yielded
Zippiest, zaniest zones zigzagging zealots

My Muse Maintains Miraculous Melancholy Maintaining Mystery!
She stands majestically in the sea,
her blind visage etched in
abandoned noble, rainbow ideals
Handcrafted words of beautiful Roman vanity ...
revived, towering graven godly desires
Man-made hypocrisy, Babel copied and stone xeroxed
Preach liberty and freedom,
practice slavery and oppression
A reared idol of falling stars wearing flagging stripes
Spiked crown image standing in the sea,
how diadem crimson deep
flows the buoying waters of democracy faith?
If ever, the gracious words should evaporate:
that all were thus this way created
Into the sands of time, a tilted torch is sinking
Where went the vanished sea that uplifted thee,
whence departed the pride of thine eyes?
A pierced image forever entombed in an oasis mirage
A is for awesome
B is for brilliant
C is for caring
D is for dreamer
E is for eager
F is for friend
G is for giving
H is for handsome
I gave you my heart long ago
Just you and me equal two
Kindred spirits, me and you
Loving you brings me joy
My hearts belongs to you
No one else could have it
Our love story is epic
People doubted our union
Quite unique in every way
Real opposites, you and me
Such an incredible pare
Two folk from different cultures
United together by love, a
Van Gogh masterpiece
With a modern day twist
Xeroxed copies we’re not
Youthful souls, with a
Zany epic love story

Zigzagged memories are easily recalled in my mind
Youthful hands playfully maneuvering an Etch A Sketch
Xeroxed veins have been forever etched into my elderly brain.

"Reverse"

Zeal yields Xeroxed writes
Vanity uncovers tortured sights
Relevant questions produce obsessed needs
Maybe Love kindly justifies, indeed
He, God's Favorite Entity
Does Carry Beloved Affinity
Your lines have been Xeroxed,
even the other woman kept them in a box
beneath the bed soiled with disease
above the dog you liken with fleas
Your lips swell with pretense like Botox
Shame on you, poisoning Cupid's bow
Your soul is tied to names you don't even know
What's her name? To you, we're all named "doll"
Barbie needs to bury Ken, get a bearer like Pall
Your game is entertaining, but you still don't show
Oh, big bad wolf! You can't blow down this house
Finally, the cheese got up and chased off the mouse
I've had enough of your shenanigans!
I want a man, not a 10-lady-man-with-silky hands
I thought you were a lover, but you're really a louse
GOOD RIDDENS!
How about Post on Facebook
Only statuses, links, pictures
And you don't care if they are
Xeroxed and seen everywhere.
A About a beauty that I see;
B Brown skin, and brown eyes, with full lips,
O Obviously made to take sips,
U Using pretty smiles to tempt me.
T Tall, just enough for her to be
A Alluring between feet and hips.
L Legs, long enough to take a trip
E Everywhere she is set free.
X Xeroxed in the back of my mind
A Appears a body that is lean,
N Not letting me turn an eye blind.
D Down and up her presence is keen,
R Revealed from the front and behind,
A Allowing her form to be seen.
