no body cares, listens or understands
useless, senseless, meaningless actions yearend
what's the point anyway
everyday is the same
every change is an illusion
our life is a spiral
the starting point is the same as end
what do we really mend
what do we learn
except failure to bend
our initial misery
that is the trend
of a life we spend
in a locked land
loneliness we apprehend
longing for a friend
our values we offend
happiness we pretend
honesty we suspend
hope comes to a deadend
nothing blends
reality we transcend
hopelessness we expand
ultimately
our own selves we unfriend
Katrin
the cat that laughs
I mean mews all the day
and reshuffles his plan ten times
of his marriage with Mrs. Katrina Gray
but the crux of the argument
that nobody marries
'ere yearend but

Money Honey
By: Miracle Man
10/12/2018
Ad agencies inform customers in a brazen way,
Each day that the sun rises they’re making hay.
Attention getting commercials are so designed,
To take my cash by planting thoughts in my mind;
They think a sexy lady will encourage impulse buying,
But she, like most products, I find uninspiring.
Some spots are outrageous and many are quite funny,
Most turn out to be me squandering our money.
They always tout things that seem to be of great use,
And with lifetime guarantees they attempt to induce.
Sometimes they succeed convincing me of my need,
While their account rise’s I watch my credit card bleed.
Yearend I’m bombarded by causes needing assistance
And when I don’t respond, another letter of insistence;
I always feel depressed on those times when I’ve refused,
This joyous time of year I shouldn’t feel so abused.
This is an Acrostic with Alliteration in the body.....
