A Poem for Weekly Scribles.


Ultimatum?
She was warned.
She was given an explanation.
Nevertheless, she persisted.

Rebuttal?
She was warned  "Horde no more" 
To which she promptly said
You are being a boar
It's shampoo for my head  

I'm getting no younger 
Live my life like I wish 
You'd kill me from hunger 
Mere spinach in my dish 

Bonkers!  She was given 
an explanation, but 
Still no avail, bidden 
to her own muddy rut 

(Hope they don't find my keys) 
I may wish to travel 
While I still have some cheese 
Sometimes hungry as Hell 

You'd best behave yourself 
But nevertheless, she 
persisted, like dour elf 
(I'll hang on to my key) 

(Pills, under my covers ) 
Toasted raisin bread, jam  
and cream cheese like mothers 
(Too rough my life can end) 

My Choices
Unspoken
(Travel with hidden keys
or
Die orchestrated death)
(Do all have an escape)

A Weekend Poem


Mixed Up 

It's a crazy mixed up world 
Up is down and down is up 
The whole land has gone that way 
Get my bearing against the wall 

Steak and avocado breakfast 
Grits eggs bacon and toast is lunch 
Then dinner comes cereal 
Against this steady wall I lean 

Body color we're all dress blue 
Rules of cover conservative 
That means covering more below 
Does more show than collar's above 

My mind changes with color of day 
Mornings must be blue when we write 
Green yellow orange afternoons 
Darkened some means organized play 

Happy time to come based on whims 
Taking care for snooper's glass floors 
Therapy for the birds.  
Their needs 
While we recite our poetry
