Big Ifs - a Poem for Sunday Muse

If I, if only, if it; 

      I'd be doing fine 

Stranded on the beach beached it is 

If I could fly across the sea 

To the lights over there I see 

My large wings will sail fine, only ... 

If only I could flap those wings 

Flap them hard and strong so they'd lift 

But I'm not strong enough for that 

Perhaps a muscle man might do 

An other invention gone wrong 

If it doesn't work take it back

Gin it Up - a Senyru Ditty for Friday Writings

Ginning up a poem 

Glad I learned to spell and write 

Google spells for kids  

Educated kids 

Get the good jobs for today 

Sign painters for sure

Eating out - a Poetics Write for dVerse

Eating not allowed in my room (1) 

Eating out I had no choice 

Couldn't eat in, I lived in rented rooms 

No food in rooms was their rule 

I'll tell a few, ones that this write evokes 

First I remember was a burger place 

A burger, fries, and soft drink 

That for fifty cents, free cone when I left 

Close to our campus lots of students ate 

Oh yes, there was no sales tax way back then 

More lines another day, my pillow beckons

Charlie and Tiger - a Quadrille Poem for dVerse

              Danny's Cat 

[Today is International Cat Day]

She's not my type 

Shaking head, Charlie Cat 

Yoke chrome stripes shine 

Walking near, Ms. Tiger

She's more my kind 

Pillow King , Charlie thought 

Purrs smiles and grins 

He's alright, Tiger's high 

Got close to him 

Rubbed his neck, Charlie purred 

Tiger and Charlie click 

  _ _ _ 

Lagniappe for you 

See my large type typewriter 

Five of them  Ryght here
