WONDERFUL YODELNESS

way

out to

Neverland

don't ever phone

ear-shock yodel;

rue all the antiphon;

forego all of the big hype

unless you like to sing the blues;

let it all hang out with siren tones

tune piano - seek notes

tones

unglue,

negate dirge

effects and lack

pathos of refrain

inducing harsh echo

and spoil the wake’s temperament

needed to maintain mourners nature

over the passing of their loved ones.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

once
I give
in to your
acrostic needs
it starts to drive me
more crazy than I am;
it's already hard enough
just creating something making
reasonable sense in nine straight lines

laughter’s sweetness



lines

allow

us to use

gaudy language

helping to effect

tight lips into a grin,

enhancing ones appearance

rather than frowns that cause wrinkles

so use lines which make smiling faces

my visage
that such mistakes
come to your purview
so thanks for suggesting
that I make the correction
which I have just now extruded
on the top of the previous page.

some mistakes on the way
despite all of our efforts
but occasionally you’ll find
through perseverance we write a gem

to let in outside light

a plethora of piled coal

match
that lights
anthracite
or ligneous
must be very hot
or you’ll burn your fingers
before it starts to warm up
so use pressure as well as heat
and you’ll squeeze out a diamond or two

plus two
makes fifty
at least for some;
for Eileen and me
it becomes forty-nine
years we'll be married Friday
and it seems quite impossible
that we've been together for so long

I felt like
marriage was bunk
but I met my wife
after two divorces
and we just celebrated
twenty-five years on Saturday.
Congratulations on forty-nine!

nein!
congrats
to you two
for twenty-five
very special years;
I'm sure you will share more
and that you will write about
some of your blessings and lessons
that you've learned along the Lighted way

waiting on the nicest

wait
and much
inner peace
touches you when
incessant ennui
nudges a heart’s attic,
grown dusty, and lets you see
over bias and broken dreams
new love can arrive and it’s the best

in the middle of line six
for dinner two days ago
and worked all day today at our 'farm'

flowering my new home

farm:
let’s try
our new corn
which grows in line,
enticing a few
rural new farmers with
intriguing scenario;
nutrition and beauty that’s from
growing flowers between rows. That’s nice.

nice
to see
acrostics
though frustrating
'cause I haven't time
to plan one out myself
that would have any meaning
thus I'm content to just blather
and fill up the space with nothing

Things
fingers
get calloused
from using them
to walk around floors
when it’s going somewhere
so fingerprints have worn off
making all the tips slippery
so it wears a glove from lacrosse-stick.

it's a wrap

stick
fingers
in your ears
if your don't like
that rapper music;
however that won't stop
your body from vibrating
since the bass is turned up so high
that all your pictures fall off the wall

BOOM!

wall
between
the neighbors
used to rattle
with that rap music
when in an apartment
until my speakers were placed
facing against that partition
and played the Eighteen Twelve overture.



True story!
