Typical Evening

Arriving home, I’m weary;
my cat scans me as I lounge before the screen,
drifting off (It’s quite eerie!)
half way through each show, not waking in between.
I ask each time where I’ve been.

Larry’s Leery Lira

Just when I thought I had it
you come in and change all the rules for the form
by switching line length a bit
so I’m not sure of the norm
but in dice, seven come eleven’s a charm.

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

LIRAcal Advice

You know that I make mistakes!
Don't be so quick to imagine that you're wrong
or quickly hit your brakes.
Just remember you belong
and allow me to screw up your favorite song.

Roads to Everywhere

To be in this company
of like minds which has now dwindled to a few
offers me a panoply
of opportunities to
stroll on florid paths, too many to construe.

Un-a-mused

Sitting here watching the news
I'm realizing how inconsequential
it is to my sleeping muse;
can I be influential
in making it realize it's essential?

opine says a me

Writing of such things, inane
helps keep my mind sharp and opens reception
to help a creative brain;
even though this is just fun
there are flashes that tell me I am not done.

not amused?

I'm feeling a barrier -
after a day working with insulation -
twixt me and my carrier,
that muse of inspiration
who may be feeling undervaluation.

a wait worth its weight

Valuation of all things
may depend solely on someone’s point of view
depending on what it brings
to inspire people anew
so when sharing thoughts, the muse is always true.

amusement is not always
what your children ought to participate in
while hanging in the hallways;
today could be the time when you might begin
discipline, to your chagrin

but has cultivated a sense of humor
and through the years we’ve had fun
beginning jokes where the punch line's a rumor

Buy and Bye

consumers can be comic
when you see the ridiculous things they buy --
like toothbrush ergonomic,
paper from Oversupply,
bottled spring water, rutabaga bonsai

gilding lilies next?

to bronze a rutabaga
is a real waste of copper and tin alloy
but alpha and omega
for a metallurgy boy
is making a brass bonsai; that would be joy.

Parading

A brass band -- O what a joy
to see with all seven of my grandchildren
mingling with the hoi polloi
to see the parade again;
their enjoyment's like I can't remember when!

first basis

Remember enjoyment when
a simple game of stick-ball lasted all day;
you hit homeruns for the win
and no one there dared to say
steroids helped and baseball was for fun, not pay.

Diamond Syndrome

Baseball's for pay, but it's fun
to watch someone steal second, third base and home
or the DH hit home runs,
see a ball game in the Dome;
we're diagnosed with the diamond syndrome.

bauble heads

Diamonds in domes or the nose
tend to sparkle and flash in spectators’ eyes;
they’re investments I suppose
but not when they’re catching flies
in the outfield. Just a millionaire’s disguise!

Outside the Bus

Millionaires are disgusting
when they throw their wealth and position at us
making me feel like busting
them in the chops -- make a fuss
with their guards as they try to get on their bus.

nothing learned

They post guards in school busses
because children are not taught how to respect.
A driver who discusses
the familial neglect
is branded a racist and careers are wrecked.

bus driver's career was wrecked
resulting from his suspicious accident:
"hit a student doing text"
but it wasn't evident
who was texting / what the above headline meant

habla-blah-blah

What is meant by “doing text”
shows clear proof the proofreader lacks language skills
as to nouns or verbs. What’s next,
Strange sentences with no frills;
gerund-mandering present participles?
