Poems

I'm not pretending, I don't know everything

but what I'm feeling isn't fake or in a dream

How am I thinking, above silly crocodilian?

science intel knows exactly why redeemed

Life is like a bar of gold

So precious and alluring

Such a treasure to behold

It's weightiness assuring

Life is but a bar of gold

So priceless and exquisite

Such a precious mother lode

Run dry with just one visit

Dad drank vino till the end day and night

Just like Grandpa swigged hillbilly moonshine

They got hooked on the buzzing in their brains

Gramps drove drunk but our Pappy towed the line

It's not the hooch that brings us to the brink

But how hard and fast we quaff the sauce

Drunkenness does not mean an early grave

But mindlessness oft leaves men at a loss

This is a little ode about addiction

as behavior like a shallow human,

frayed from any good intelligence

'tis fool's gold for old and pathetic

Remember me well

My father once said

He lived a good life

And now is long dead

I say to you now

Remember me too

A well-meaning man

Whom you never knew

I don't remember all the places I've been

forgotten many of the peoples met there!

I should've kept a diary of my solo travel

father told me memory would disappear

Belief 'tis opinion, opine if you will

fact less, baseless adds zero to still

what I believe hath not foundation

my thinking alone's true ruination.

I can go, but I can't be angry

I can stay, as a love remains

I am free and choose choice,

if I can choose I choose now

Belief is not real

Beliefs are just thoughts

Belief is the mumbo

in crocked jumbo pots

What I believe 'tis a crock of shit

admitting that now, I'm a shitter!

Belief opinion 'tis nothing to fear

yet truly what made me a quitter

Be kind to yourself first and foremost

And then share your kindness with others

Let your good thoughts and deeds rule the day

For kindness and goodness are brothers

Be nice to the people around you

And then show them how much that you care

Let your niceness and tenderness roar

For the gentlest hugs come from the bear

This dog's so hungry,

it actively seeks food

Win less than failing,

no drop in his moods

"It'll here come along"

say puppy to its selfie

Sure, enough the doer

sees a canine healthy
