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
Orange slumped over #form
belly #button lint for hair
evil to the #bone
no morals #measurable
#ferocity #crystal clear

Grandma's TV tray
there the old gal sat all day
Brandy neat, hair gray
Grab the euchre deck, she'd say
called me her little #button

Lay out the #crystal
don't be #blue
we're all broke
that is true
a #solid holiday can be enjoyed
#measurable hints to be employed
no shame in #utility turkeys
need no grandiosity
gobbled to the #bone w/ #ferocity
don't spend the day alone

Canada went metric when I was twelve years old
a #measurable mile made me smile
a pound of bacon sold
by then ingrained into my brain
the temp that water freezes
no centimeters for me young man
I know eight inches pleases
I'm still confused about the switch
I'll forever be an imperial bitch

I got you no #present
I got you no card
but the dog got u something
it's out in the yard
I said that's no present you dirty old hound
a stinkin' big pile #outside on the ground
he said it may not be much
it will just have to do
but I know that she'll like it
cause she's married to you

No crazy to my crazy
no anger or malice
no addiction to my crazy
no need to go ask Alice
my crazy is unfettered
cool #casual lass
#options are twofold
be a goodin' or an ass
the #offer's there
join the #craze
#interrupt the BS
#harvest happy days

Today we witness
The atrocities of Kings
Against children

It has become
The fascination
Of our nation

No torches are raised
No pitchforks brandished
No vengeance
No retribution
No justice

We are a nation of cowards
Sacrificing our children to dragons
So that we are not devoured

Oh sweet little Poet
Our art is not our own
The pieces celebrated
Are shadows never known

Show us where he hurt you
Let us fantasize
Cut it out in meter
Bled right down your thighs

Submit to the grotesquerie
You might just win a prize
Everyone's enamored
By the trauma of our lives

Quiet now piggy you orange lunatic
With your tiny hands and your mushroom dick
Take your demented rotting brain
And go fuck yourself and then do it again

Was out of #options
I #joined for the #third time
saw a #banquet of men
& dated again
no #casual sex or one night stands
a #saint I ain't
but my morals do stand
I #interrupt this poem to #offer the truth
I slept with most of them

Ain't much to see in this here poem
no burning need to read along
a chunk of time not well spent
it sure as hell won't pay the rent
my only #option is to rhyme
and yes I'm rhymin' all the time
some don't deserve the light of day
need crumpled up and thrown away

Last year proved trying
reality hit
my brother dying
spent the Summer sad & crying
& my heart
which I had locked
got involved
ran off half cocked
rocked my world
his?
not rocked
now I try to find the things
blessings that a smile brings
sad or not my soul still sings

Come the final stages
of this cruel sad disease
#reality forgotten
nothing's done with ease
unable to remember
how to quench their thirst
how to raise a cup
Alzheimer's
nothing's worse
we fill the straw
thumb on one end
gently insert
and say
here you go, friend

#Last #night #I #saw for the hundredth time
still no new prompt, #FromOneLine
I dig that prompt, it flows me juices
make this your #goal, no excuses

Fine, #suit yourself if that's your #goal
to #spend the day like an #aching soul
but off I go, to social #heights
in my #yellow dress, the one with #stripes

I planned to lose last Winter's weight
this Summer as I sat in wait
I had a #goal, the goal was great
I'd diet run & meditate
the diet?
meh, I love my food
the running?
never in the mood
meditation?
none ensued
I plan to lose last Summer's weight
this Winter as I sit in wait

shook the 8 ball, came up no

I've got no #issue with the bad boys
the jailbirds or ne'er-do-wells
if he's rough around the edges
it makes my old heart swell
the boy next-door has got no chance
to turn my head or get in my pants
easy to get ain't much fun
I only chase the ones what #run

Noah hoists elephants onto a boat
unicorns croak cause the fuckers can't float
It goes against #Science
there's no proof at all
rather #unbearable that we all take the fall
Religion has given us one #hazardous ride
as they falsely #inform us that God's on their side

A solitary candle
in yonder window shines
a welcome sight
a midnight flight
the path alight
as Christmas stars align
abundant are the memories
traditions to be passed
farewell the year
soak up good cheer
we gather
home at last

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
