The Logic of the Toad
at the bottom of the slough of despond
ping ping rain drip

the very elixer of feistiness, they say
*******
make us make use o'the stuff

muscles are best for,
but virtually

estivation is our pre
servation

we wait on geotime for rain
and rise, toadish

to be kist orange by gaseous
exposure to

you, dear reader, a breath of fresh air,
if you cared to even try

to get understanding with it,
as wisdom tickled your

fancy fashionable meme chain.
A bit of something so long that if I were to post it here I fear seeming meme envious wishing for rain

The funny thing
When she walked in
I glimpsed an average
Lady of my age
Well surely
A few years younger
Then my slave master
#1 Girlfriend! (abusive care taker)
Yet as I took this nice lady for a tour
Of our Dog friendly kennel
As she spoke
Her words touched
Like massaging hands
Her eyes shined
As they peered through my soul
With her heart exposed
Her heart a mirror reflection
Of what I forgot could exist
I wondered...
Why do I resist?
Traveler Tim
Just yesterday I met someone special
I've been a shut in this past year due to my memory lost....
(But she is fresh on my mind)

you could sell me anything
at the very least, try

and I would do my best
to try and be interested .

X, me out.
Eradicate, eliminate.
Just X me out.
It's not too late to anticipate.
We both have made our mistakes.

One time?
It was great.
Couldn't wait for us to go on dates.

Then things changed?
Love just wasn't the same.
And we both saw the changes.

So X me out now.
And we call it a day.
What else?
Is there to say?

Inviting yourself
for a kiss of wasp?

This was a hidden mood.

Being yourself,
you were insulting someone,
my poems, my theology.

Touching trees,
one by one, searching your
name on every leaf.

O God of half eaten
breads, why do you lie
on the petals only?

The tears fall
was becoming louder.
Frozen eyes are starting a
meltdown.

Where would you live
in autumn?

Angels don't introduce
You will know them
by
heart
mind, body, and soul.
We are standing on holy ground
and there are Angels.....
