There is sludge
That won’t budge
There is gumming of parts
So the muck
Becomes stuck
As so many now fudge
And prefer to hold grudge
‘Stead of clearing the gunk
Of those who claim truth is junk
Who treat lies
As their prize
And demise
As new highs.

She is deliberate. She takes her time.
Each line is drawn with distinct goal. Each color chosen with remarkable concentration. Each curve labored on in exact determination.
After all, the letters aren’t ‘just’ a prelude to a word expressed. It is none of it ‘just’ idle practice …
It is her name she’s working on, a profound soul-expression.

It’s the light
It’s the mood
It’s the tone
In the air
It’s the frowning
Of brows
And the cold
Atmosphere
It’s the half-frozen
Words
And the
Brrr
Everywhere.

When problems seem to swell up
Overnight
And worry gives a boon
To fret and fright
It can help to remind
That while some puffy mushrooms
Do hold spite
Many are more air
Than actual might.

The house snored and stomachs sighed content
But pots and pans and ladle, towel, bowl and plate
Slept not a wink awaiting dawn inside the kitchen sink …

There is something quite delish
In the droll smile of a dish
That has climbed above all others
To achieved its broadcast wish.

If the distance’s too far
And the winning too tempting
There is always the tummy
To improve odds
Of aiming.

A smile,
A wave
A blast of horn,
Afternoon outing
For the honking
Brave.

One cannot argue doubting
He who violated trust before.
Suspicion is a justified insurance
So he cannot to do this anymore.
Smoke and mirrors will not mask
Acts the decent do deplore.
Deflecting will melt in the light of day
As Truth now won’t ignore.

He shook his head
At jam and bread
Objected to any other
Kind of spread
And lectured mommy
From his seat
That cookie’s the only
Thing to eat.
