Feeling a tug?


Pulling strings, 
Using
Power manipulatively,
Plays a huge role in
Eventuality. In the shadow of
The stage, dares anyone question the
Sage?

In anticipation


Prior to
Running into a problem,
Encourage
Vivid conversation,
Educate about a situation and
Nip it – possibly – in
The bud. An ounce of
It is worth a pound
Of cure – a totally
No-nonsense observation.

Sweet!


Hundreds, thousands
Of hard-working bees from
Nectar make this
Elegant, mellifluous,
Yellow-gold treat.

Juice of the immortals


Nourishment for
Energetic
Creatures,
This sweet botanical
Attraction is a
Really cool natural feature.

Possess


One sometimes has
What others don’t, but
Need. Enter generosity.

The Babylonian way


Sixty has
Exactly 12 factors, but Roman
X is not the main one. Look
At your four fingers;
Gently tap  
Each bone with your thumb. The
Sum
Is a dozen, with five twelves
Making a minute or
An hour; it’s
Legitimate digital fun.

Sexagesimal


How many
Of these fit
Unequally into
Restful night and active day?

The Second Amendment is killing us


Attacks on others with
Sudden violence,
Shooting many rounds
A minute, is not
Unique to war-torn nations.
Look at US schools and cities.
Take a stand on rifle ownership.

Art in motion


Going around in an
Engineered dance
Are these fine-toothed wheels,
Real art at a glance.

To your health


Colds might bring on this
Onomatopoeic hacking,
Uncomfortably racking
Good souls who need sleep.
How great
It will be
Not to wheeze, but to breathe. It’s
Gonna get better, you’ll see.

Tightrope walker


Limber and
Innately graceful, her steps
Took one’s breath away,
Her balance, impeccable,
Even on that late summer day.

Thrive


Floral
Lushness
Of a
Wondrous range
Eventually
Rings the world;
Spring starts the change.

Grit


Spark and
Pluck  
Unite to create the
Nerve it takes to
Kick the odds.
You go, Girl!

Kumugwe's fellows


Ordovician
Cephalopods intrigue
Teuthologists greatly;
Of course they’ve
Progressed and evolved
Until quite lately when
Scientists have found they have
Excellent minds of a lithe,
Sneaky-smart, intuitive kind.

Golden memories


Resplendent with color, this
Arc 
In the sky might
Not provide gold,
But it offers reminders
Of childlike
Wonder.

Danke! Gracie! Takk! Merci!


This
Heartfelt word of gratitude has
A history of thought in a
Natural sense; when someone is
Kind, a response is
Sought. This is a version condensed.

As in Birthday


Confections of
A sweet, floury
Kind can be layered and
Exquisitely decorated, you’ll find.

Acrostic #1461


Yesterday sometimes still seems new
Or maybe it’s just that I’m so
Used to constant change that
Nothing grows old;
Going into the future I’m feeling bold.

Total


Add more until at
Last you find nothing
Left of that same kind.

In a mindful manner


Approaching a
Situation with
Self-assured
Energy can
Result in
Truer
Impact,
Via
Empathy especially.

Hanging in the balance


Gonna
Undo this
Nonsense

They're adding up


A beaded board,
By all
Accounts,
Can help
Us
See the right amount.

See its plight?


A sea snail creeps on a
Broad, strong foot
As it searches for its next meal,
Little knowing that its
Oval form beautiful colors conceals. The
Nacre found inside its shell is
Exotic and has visual appeal.

International Women's Day


Celebrate
On many planes;
Mark
Memorable
Events with
Maybe a stamp
Or a coin, but mainly
Remember that
A person, a cause were
Tuned
Into a time that
Very much needed such
Efforts sublime.

Acajú versatility


Choose
A use of this
Splendid tree; it
Has juicy fruits and
Excellent nuts
With shells that
Support polyols, as well.

Deliver de letter, de sooner, de better


Enclosed,
Needing
Various covers, mailings
Evoke some mystery.
Let the sendee
Open them up. Do not
Pry, or you will see yourself
Enwrapped in legalese.

A
Little closer and then
Might we
Observe
Soon-will-be-

Flat out true?


Plainly
A careful reader can see what the
Lines across a hand might
Mean.

Professional fool


Clumsy and coarse, his
Laughable
Officiousness
Wins no hearts with its
Nasty viciousness.

One and Two


These two hellish fellows
Had way too much fun, for
In minutes
Nightmarish damage was done;
Good that the Cat could
Stop their run.

In honor of Theodor Seuss Geisel with thanks for engaging my emergent reader mind 50- something years ago – and helping me escape the drone of the primers used back then. One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish was the first book I felt I could read all by myself. And what a sense of empowerment that was!

For Hennessey


Love for
Our feline friends is
So deep it’s
Something we can’t pretend.

Thinking of you all with love, Gemmie, Gizmo, Rose, and Eric A.
