he tried to strangle the keyboard the words were stuck in outer space everything read like the congressional record every idea seemed to be out of place
the poem would not get off of first base it blatantly lied to me with a straight face it giggled and laughed and called me names it made every attempt to go up in flames
finally I declared enough is enough time for the poetic muse to get tough this poem needs a topic like death or love compromise said the poem, lets talk about the God from above
the Creator who makes all things possible the One whose concept is philosophical keeping balance in the Uni-verse, day and night and when we accept, everything is just right
the list goes on for those who are forever grateful an inside job whose attitude is delightful having the courage to build on a foundation of faith to fend off the curse that is cast by the wraith
the Almighty was benevolent and the words erupted all is good when the Spirit is trusted even the poem gave a sigh of contentment the last thing anyone would want is a resentment
another poem inspired by Providence trusting in the All Powerful’s competence .
Senryu: 5-7-5 ( Haiku with people and their emotions/feelings as a topic)

how much do I love
who decides when it’s too much
feelings in balance

Poem:
.
celebrating the holidays
historical events that we praise
a day for families to get together
always praying for good weather
for some families it is the patriarch
for others cultures it is the matriarch
hopefully the clan has a funny court jester
and in this corner the prudish aunt Esther
stories retold year after year
hugs and kisses, much good cheer
kindness and love makes it quite right
sober families never have a big fight
favorite recipes and desserts galore
keeps everyone coming back for more
children and adults playing a game
the winner gets bragging rights to claim
day is done, no one wants to leave
the time flew like you can’t believe
each and all clamoring for next years encore
memories to keep for evermore
