What Is The Question ? ? ?

to know some

of the questions

than all of

the answers.”

Florida sweet corn
first crop is ready to pick
enough sun and rain

Poem:

.

there is this kitten from hell
all he does is very loudly yell
a needy cat all he wants is attention
the energy level is from another dimension

the cat in the mirror is his newest toy
full steam ahead, no need to be coy
such a little thing with such a loud purr
so much life in that small ball of fur

always in trouble, too much curiosity
to the family he is a source of jocosity
no, no, let go of that curtain
looks like he’ll need all nine lives that is for certain

will we still love him when he becomes a cat ? ? ?
probably, as long as he doesn’t become a bureaucrat

The Use Of Words

.

“One great

use of words

is to hide

our thoughts.”

.

~ Voltaire

.

Elfje:            (Cinquain)

.

thoughts

mental images

actions and reactions

things I might do

visions

.

Tanka:             5-7-5, 7-7

.

what I am saying

may not be what I’m thinking

if you only knew

beating around the big bush

intentionally deceived

.

Poem:

.

living a dream
merrily rowing upstream
living a fairytale
forever chasing the holy grail

perpetually stalking illusions
thinking about not growing old
“whatever” is my cup of tea
maybe it will be filled with fool’s gold

reality check
the spaceship has landed
could we be a smaller speck
let your imagination be expanded

knowing that our lives are but a blip in time
understanding that even the powerful made a very small dent
before they know it most have passed their prime
for some each day is one entire event

for the older souls time is but a blur
is evolution the path of least resistance
can or will a world peace ever occur
will there ever be a meaning to our existence

firstly, are we asking the right question
will there ever be a lasting impression
seeking the answers propels us forward
what is , is what a Higher Power has ordered
