because she was blind from birth;
doc poked her eyes out
when he delivered her child;
she didn't see that coming

in his wholly roaming car
and wanted to be
blessed up close or from afar
by the Vatican’s big star

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

none other than Big Papa

spreading dubious wisdom

Dubious wisdom
from the network’s talking heads
is enough for some
but the woke Democrat dreads
that truth will tear it to shreds.

like hair untended

Medusa’s bad hair
consists of a lot of snakes
but her stony stare
is why each enemy quakes
in fear of statues she makes.

statues she will make
often leave a person stoned
no smoking required
best to stay away from her...
a long distance from her stare

Distance from her stare
and far from snakes that are curled
will make you aware
of how far spears can be hurled
because she will rock your world

Create memories
whenever you have a chance.
So quickly time flees
and each moment, but a glance,
shows life before that last dance.

be sure that you check your breath
no sense offending
the one you want to attract
dance slow to not lose your breath

Breathe as you dance slow
to smell her essence and heat
for you never know

when she sweeps you off your feet.

it's best to wear shoes
broom bristles also spray dust

Careful through the room
came bulls in a china shop.
One must not assume
that porcelain will start to drop.
Some analogies won’t stop.

when creativity dies

we're left but to compare them

To a writer’s block
came the ink well and a quill.
A muse was his stock
to help all of his thoughts spill
and through sharing, he might thrill.

Scream all the way down
when falling from a great height?
Before you hit ground,
flap your arms with all your might;
who knows, you may just take flight.

Falling from grey tights
are drops of perspiration.
One of work-out’s plights!
This may cause consternation
without jock-straps’ creation.
