Maybe I'll clean up my act, just to be good.  It did give Shaun the chance to look deeply and most mournfully (nicely empathetic) into my eyes once upon a time ages ago... (sonnet #MMMMMCMLXXIX) I'll wear my heart upon this sleeve in pale Excuse as oft as suits my fancy, whence Ye all kin chide to no avail from hence, Whiles I rebuff aught notions in betrayl Of better sense, cuz nothing here is bail. Or if some fragile thought seems vague defense, Tis vanquished ere I've managed to gain thence A foothold, and I'll be thus stripped and frail. Ah, love.  Do thou but tempt me with the poor Suggestion, ye kin laugh 'til ye are blue, I'm prey, tears dried until tis proven fer Whatever that twas aye, a jest.  I'll rue Me folly, cherry-cheeked, and pray whiles your Much wiser sense erm, coughs.  And yes, I knew. 20Oct16

Who Said There Was Excuse For ME?!
Why do you kick me when I'm down? I'm just going to find a way to get back at you I'm going to find a way to bring you down 'Cause if I go down, you better ******* believe I'm not going alone, without a fight, without a chance. I won't give up You're coming with me. We go together or we don't go down at all.

I won't give up
What my men lament, I suppose. (sonnet #MMMMMMMDCXCIV) Lo, how mists shroud the world til aught fr'intents Quite disappears! The clustered houses tale Lost to that fragile whiteness, firs detail The edge of haunting yonder likeas thence I knew high in the Rocky Mountains, whence My soul takes off on that note, like the veil Hides steeper ledges and ravines, this pale Eye of thin warmth with puddles in suspense. An essay on erm, Samuel Johnson fer Is't thus another angle on just who? I thought our lit'rature taught us in tour His name at least. Perhaps I'm wrong. He knew So much tis reckoned better he as twere Was NOT a lawyer, brilliant. Is't fog's cue? 06Feb19b

Call Me A Dreamer, Will You?
...on #NationalCoffeeDay no less. (sonnet #MMMMMMMMMDCCLXIX) Tis Nash'nal Coffee Day, and I've t'avail Had one sip of home brewed, with two cups hence Old Starbucks for the thought and aught good sense, Tea what e'er wakens me, joe that detail Late culling yawns, til I kin see to scale Why some imbibe whole pots of coffee, thence Free yet to sleep, whilst tea, sans piquant scents Per se, works to keep us awake...sans bail? Give all a rest and go in search as twere Of one old poem, to find an invite to Partic'pate in a "fusion" poem which fer All that my lines conclude. What did I do?! Or, how was that?! Be restless sans a cure For coffee's kicking, and LORD, save me too! 29Sep25a
