Airborne grime


Day after day of being
Untouched a fine powder
Settled on all
The stuff.

Withdrawn


Security is not
Easily felt where
Corruption lies; they
Recuse themselves and
Excuse themselves –
There seems no compromise.

What happened to blind justice?


Partisan arguments
Over choosing a judge is a
Losing battle
In which
The
Ideals of justice are
Commandeered
As each side
Loudly maneuvers the rules.

Let's turn everything back


Boastful
Legislators blustered
On; they
Would repeal the ACA. But they
Had managed to delay composing
A good
Replacement bill. Their own wind
Died in the their
Sails.

Is a polluted environment worth it?


Pecuniary advancement, does it
Really have to cost devastation,
Obliteration, the loss of
Fundamental values
In this nation?
The wealth of people is
Subject to the health of people.

Chaturanga


Chariots,
Horsemen,
Elephants, and foot
Soldiers
Strategize the checkered board.

Breathtaking


Airborne
Capers,
Running skips,
Orbiting
Bodies,
Aerial flips,
Tight-rope walking high
In the sky – all of these activities
Comprise a fantastic, stupendous
Spectacle for the eyes.

Chuffed


A stormy
Sea, but upside down,
Presents itself in the sky;
Even the ardent geologist
Raises his cloud-loving eyes.
In haste he snaps
The photo that secures for him
A prize. In the atlas, this lofty
Sight as a new cloud is classified.

Study the crowd


Gaping with warm
Admiration, the
Zaftig actress
Enchanted a nation.

Forward


Processing
Readily
Onward, the
Girl gained
Real-life
Essential
Skills that
She took to the Hill.

Group


Individuals might be
Labeled as the
Kind sitting at the same table.

Equinox


Very
Early the sun
Rises in the spring sky,
Newly to shine today just
As
Long as the night.

Gusto


Zipping around
Eagerly with lemon and zeal,
She grated passionately
The sun-yellow peel.

Madness


Imagine a
Nation blinded by
Vitriol, where on
Every corner those closely
Involved with security
Guard a fearful citizenry.
Let us choose a seeing path,
Eschewing his cajoling wrath.

Good


Leaning either way,
Ubiquitous
Chance, may it be
Kind to you today.

Piled up


Picture a brief string
Of words that question,
Evoke, or portray; this one is
Made just for play.

Life is good


Playing joyfully
In fluid time and space, this
Silvery, slippery
Creature
Enjoys her own
Sublime pace.

Ubiquitous pi


This ratio, this
Rounded,
Astounding
Number, this
Serious mathematical
Constant,
Encourages a
Never-ending listing of
Digits beyond its
Elegant decimal point; it does
Not allow for
The squaring of circles with straightedge
And compass. Come,
Let us praise this irrational with pie.

Spring festival


Hindus observe with color,
Open to fresh beginnings,
Loving to leave past wrongs,
In the goodness of people believing.

Daylight Saving Time


Circling
In
Rhythm around the
Clock
A body resists a sleep  
Disruption; in spring the
Initial ‘tock’ sounds odd,
And until
November to this we nod.

Bird birth


How beautiful
And amazing
To observe the birth of a
Chick, cracking its shell, emerging,
Hopeful in its new bailiwick.

Sickened


When will the GOP see that not
Everyone’s pocket is deep
Like theirs; their
Logic is impaired. It’s wealth,
Not health about which they care.
Erasing an earlier, nascent plan
Sets everything back, but they must
Salute their leader’s command.

Universal movement


Girls and women
Loudly proclaim all
Over the world that
Backwards games will not be
Allowed; we stand tall, we
Look forward, we’re aflame.

With thanks to all the women who have inspired and taught me throughout my life, even those who do not consider women’s rights an issue.

Dear ones


Feelings of mutual
Respect and love, shown
In myriad ways, connect us and
Encourage growth because
Nowadays we
Dare to
See how powerful and
Healthy such bonds can be.
It’s a wonderful thing, this
Play between you and me.

For Shell & Egg.

Sanctuary


Saturated with
The
Unique creativity of a
Daring soul
Is this area
Of making one whole.

Thank you for the suggestion, Shelly S. Your own studio is a place of inspiration.

Time warp


Doing just what we like
At our own leisurely pace,
We
Definitely
Linger, avoiding reality’s
Embrace.

The pits


Impetuous
Moves that
Prove incompetence
Encourage
All concerned to
Challenge
His providence.

On the edge


Balancing on the
Rim of
Inadequacy, he seems
Not to
Know democracy.

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!


Zooming and swooping in
Our hearts everywhere flies Seuss ever
Onward; for fun, be
Prepared.

"What's in your wallet?"


Bulging bags of leather,
Used to carry plans that
Dealt with fiscal matters,
Generally by a man,
Evolved into computed games; lower
Taxes for the wealthy, politically, a move unhealthy.
