Trop Moche

.

.

“Mon Dieu,

la vie

est par trop

moche.”

.
― Aldous Huxley

.

my friend, the life is so ugly

.

Elfje: Cinquain

.

unsightly

really grotesque

just physically repulsive

an appearance beyond horrendous

ugly

.

Lune: 3,5,3 syllables (Reversed)

.

windy day

tall trees bow their heads

birds fly low

.

Poem:

.

the imagination is stuck in the routine
the mind is fixated on the black jelly bean
it is and/or is it a bad habit to be lazy
especially for those who are certified crazy

from here the poem took over the writing
just another God incident sighting
the tenor enjoined happy, joyous and free
another beautiful day for everyone to see

gratitude for breathing some fresh air
finding it unnecessary to compare
simply happy to be me and alive
thank God He allowed me to survive

remembering that there is a message to carry
for the sick and suffering the purpose is primary
crazy and lazy can be replaced with good habits
easier than trying to learn the new mathematics

doing the will of a loving Higher Power
securing a room in His ivory tower
the poem said that it was time to finish
I knew when it started to talk in Yiddish

time for the imagination to go back to sleep
the left over words go back into the heap
if I take time to listen the writer will be back
no need to rely on the zodiac

time for the writer and I to rest
next time, as usual, we will try our best.

I Go Mad

.

“If

I don’t write

to empty

my mind,

I go mad.”

.

~  Lord Byron

.

Elfje:            (Cinquain)

.

mad

looney tunes

off one’s rocker

lost touch with reality

insane

.

Tanka:             5-7-5, 7-7

.

kindness starts at home

kindness is birthplace of love

be kind to neighbors

 

kindness becomes peace of mind

always be kind to yourself

.

Poem:

.

only at participating outlets
some restrictions may apply
they call them disclosures
on me they are trying to get over

it’s the fine print that drives me crazy
would I read it if I weren’t so lazy
tried ignoring them, they won’t go away
does it really matter how much I weigh

are happy and kind positive assets
what does it take to pass emotional tests
will your nose grow if you tell a lie
right now I could use a piece of apple pie

poems written to teach and preach
everyone we know can use some of each
