art

time fly’s

making sweet music

when you’re having fun

eternity

Haiku:

air conditioning

mechanical invention

not the real season

Poem:

.

did Frost care about his legacy
as an American icon in his own time
was Poe ever concerned about his identity
as an editor he offended very many

the poet laments man’s frailty
founded on historic and trending times
lemmings dressed as soldiers bravely
lying on hearts and minds weighty

most never notice that life goes on
consumed with ego and pressing demands
not the sharpest in the box of crayon
like a tortoise into their shell withdrawn

there are two sides to every coin
to be politically correct, bi-polar
the mind has it’s own life to purloin
dramatic pretenses trying to be soigne

is it a discussion or an argument
will there be a winner or a loser
males driven by the domestic termagant
or is she just the trophies ornament

the diplomatic never gives in to either side
inspiration for the next installment
is there a soul who has never lied
it is not our wants that life will provide

forget the legacy, let us just play pretend
lose the identity and be the chameleon
who cares, life is nothing but a tiny godsend
enjoy this chance, be a loving dividend.

Tales To Spin

.

“If you are a dreamer come in

If you are a dreamer a wisher a liar

A hoper a pray-er a magic-bean-buyer

If you’re a pretender com sit by my fire

For we have some flax golden

tales to spin

Come in!

Come in!”

.

― Shel Silverstein

.

Elfje:

.

imagination

contrived situations

falsehood bordering truth

people, places,things changed

tales

.

Haiku:

.

what you think you see

the chameleon changes

natures hiding place

.

Poem:

.

let go or be pulled along
replace it with something better
does every life need a theme song
are we marked with a scarlet letter
.
seeking positive reinforcement
family and friends the preferred source
proud to receive a personal endorsement
stepping stones to  life’s best course
.
the devil dines on the negative
set your table with the bright optimistic
the attitude, good or bad, is never inherited
allow the mind and soul to grow synergistic
.
focused on the here and now
have faith, you do know how.
