New Dawn: Acrostic

N E W . D A W N

New dawn comes once
Every day seven times
Weekly—my love arises

Daisies at our breakfast
A misty sunrise stroll
Work up an appetite
New dawn for love

One Single Impression: Running

Going, going, gone

I am running away, I'll go to stay.
I am going to play, don't hold me back.
You can come along or I'll go alone.
I've done it before, I'm running away.

I am running away to find new friends.
I am going to where it's warm all year.
You can find me there and stay I don't care.
I've done it before, I'll do it again.

I am running away, I won't come back.
I am going where a new life I'll find.
You can join in then but I'm going now.
I'm doing it again, going to stay.

Thank you to my daughter Susie for her nice poem on 'Running' posted at One Single Impression. She filled in for me when I was running short of time.

One Single Impression: Insomnia (an acrostic)

I N S O M N I A

I can not sleep
Not after five
Seven's ideal
Or even eight
My life's a mess
Nothing will help
I nod at noon
Always awake

One Single Impression: Gold

With This Ring

I love you, he whispered softly.
Oh you silly thing you, said she.

Of course I do, I wear your ring
and sing your song, a song of life.
Of life and love, babies, children,
my children you're the mother of.

Yes, I remember well that day,
committing you my love to stay.
My token, flowered band of gold.
You gave me your all, heart and soul.

Acrostic: Rainbows

Rained a lot today
Almost two inches fell
I don't worry anymore
No flooding the world
Bow is God's promise
Once and for all
We can trust Him
Saved from The Fall

One Single Impression: Single

Single Again

It came in the mail
that missive from hell
To me loud and clear
I don't want you near

Please understand this
our marriage ain't bliss
There's no love from me
and never will be

I saw my lawyer
he said you'll feed her
Six fifty for me
half wages for she

[large picture] [extra large]

Now I pay monthly
her alimony
Half wages for she
six fifty for me

A new life for me
pockets are empty
New throb's smitten me
Sugar Momma she be

C O M E T S

Courageous woman's basketball team
O those Houston Comets
Many girls we've adored
Every good thing ends
Too soon for fans
Swoopes, Perrot, Cooper, goodbye
