Why are you a rhymer?
Why always must you rhyme?
You write all right
But when you write
You're rhymin' all the time
When did you start rhymin'?
Well, when I was kid
though sounds absurd
I'd hear a word
and that's just what I did

A #number of #crabs set off one day
to #build an #abundant life on the way
folks would #stare
it sealed their fate
hunger it did #generate
so with a #plummet in a pot
#heatry #tender #nougats
all buttery & hot
wee #vamps got got

The #origin of that #myth
has been a #chore to find
I'm a #stickler for the truth
it's #tough to change my mind
but they say that after sex
the praying #mantis eats her mate
that brings #hearty #sappiness
cause #single life is great

Those were the days of daisy chains
of popsicles for a dime
feet off the dock, life #without clocks
the promise of endless #time

A language all it's own has rain
from tippy tap on window pane
to swirling roadside down the drain
be gardens fed and barrels gained
mid~morning mist on Summer's walk
pause a moment, hear rain talk

You've lost momentum
there's no more oomph to your fizz
a blue pill it is
pop one down, yes that's the way
clear your day, four hours they say

Gosh I love Canada
Ever be my home
Occasionally I do dream of the places I could roam
Germany United
Rome's architectural power
Alaska for the hardy
Paris for the tower
Head down to Australia something different in the air
Yep we can travel anywhere from our comfy chairs

I’m the king of kings
There is none higher
Sucker mcs
My works admire
The desert heat
It burns like fire
I won’t stop rocking
Till the sands of time grind down my monument and all that’s left is two vast and trunkless legs of stone, and the this rhyme on the pedestal.

Can't stand that guy
He's so full of shit
An illustrious cheat, a lifeless twit
Rants & raves, his anger bursts
And he'll sail right past ya
Can only be first

Except for Roger

#Domestic squabbles
that's all we do
for you blame me and I blame you
silent treatment
walls go up
you slam a drawer
I bang a cup
romance is dead
clean out of the race
self preservation has taken it's place
they say you hurt the one you love
get out on the balcony
and I'll give you a shove

Pick-up sticks
and jumbo shrimps
stuffed deep in
weak-piss-yellow pants
Trauma pain
and blood red stains
the skeleton of
a nightingale
#Domestic flights
after all-day fights
ancient wisdom stamped
on trading cards
An open meadow’s majesty
ancient pagan pageantry
a host, a graft
in mortal combat

Able & Ready, time to move
Beat of your own, acoustic groove
#Chatter & friendship, have a drink
Diet forthcoming, on the brink
Echoed faith, stare straight above
Fireworks & Cupid, perfect love
Guitar strings & rasp, whispered blues
Heels & straps, brand new shoes

intention falls wayside come #creatures of habit
convinced their safe haven

Through the hollow hour no solace found
an imagination that knows no bounds
lays cloaked in darkness
raindrops sound
ruminating thoughts play host
regrets, mistakes, dig up those ghosts
your thoughts direct you, so need take care
where you end up, they took you there

I check out the fridge
Not much on the shelf
Groceries tomorrow
Reminded myself
Eggs in a pinch
Dinner they'll be, I think of my mom, a great cook was she
Empty cupboards
Never could sway
There was always good food to eat everyday
She could make a stew from an ice cube tray

A sonnet takes some time to write
Could chose haiku, but count it right
Racy limericks are fun to read
Or rhyme a couplet, two lines you'll need
Senryu's speak of life and pain
Tanka, gotta count again
I love free verse now and then
Creative break, grab a pen
