I am so sick of
These clever games we play where
Everyone loses

My music is like Velcro:
hooks and loops fastened together.

I’d love to write something clever and witty
To capture the essence of Dr Suess in a ditty
But try as I might, the words don’t take flight
And the whole thing just sounds kind of ******

Let's say you're mad
a science nerd
Let's say you build a contraption
a time warp
It's main function
to bend and twist
control time on a whim
then suddenly
time becomes a living thing
The nerd becomes unsure
time has teeth and claws
a crushing weight
that you must endure
Your advise?
I need a clue
my Frankenstein devise
has gone askew
should I pull the plug,
cut the wires?
perhaps time will then
quit and tire
A silly notion
to think I had power
over timeless time
I'm feeling sour!

Sit, stare at wildflowers
Humans have no roots
Chaining us to
Soil
Nothing to save us
From life's trampling boots
As We sit and watch the wildflowers

One frosty day, the
beggar begged from home,online,
Help! Send migrant home.

Blanks.
Wasted parts of space.
Lost in thought and in uses;
a blank canvas without any muses.

released are they
vexation, irritation
and indignation
so thoughts 
are pure 
just concentrated 
thoroughly manipulated
shaping 
word after
word in
Symmetry
in word
after word
shaping
manipulated thoroughly
concentrated just
pure are 
thoughts so
indignation and
irritation, vexation
they are released
