In training

On commands of “Easy” then “whoa”, it reaches the

X drawn on the road.

Honor

Venerated,

Esteemed today,

These folks from

Every walk of life

Risked

All for a democracy  

Now

Seemingly bound for a great fall.

Summer song

Oh, how that stings when

Wasps do their thing!

If it doesn’t rain…

Get that charcoal good and

Ready, red hot for an

Instant sizzle; sprinkle steak with a

Little seasoning and tease the shrimp with

Lemon. YUM!

Boning up on Latin

Osseous is the obvious word when anything about

Skeletons is heard.

Q Day at school

Quite active and noisy is their

Usual tone

In the process of learning. Today, though,

Each will be in

The silent zone; for recess they’ll be yearning.

A movement of movement

Optical play in artistic expression

Partakes of light, line, and precision.

A real 'card'

To cheat, deceive, or fabricate

Refer to erstwhile meanings,

Unused now, but

Maybe it’s how a current

Pontificator operates.

Another preposition

Opposing ‘off,’ it sometimes is, but

Not when it’s prepositive.

Contagious through the ages

Small-laughing in Latin was

Maybe

Its source; in

Lips and in eyes it

Evokes joy, of course.

Another interjection

Oh, you there! Desist

Insisting on what I should wear!

http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/oi

From Pan, that impish god

People suddenly flee en masse in

Apprehension of strange sounds or

Nightmare thoughts of a boggy morass hidden

In fields of millet grass; it’s hard to

Calm them down.

Interjection!

On exclaiming surprise,

He crossed his eyes.

Being...

Open to

Possibilities of

The helpful, positive kind

Is a means of

Making peace, especially

In troublesome times. Taking

Step-by-step

The day

Is perhaps the most promising,

Can-do way.

An hypothesis

Odin inspired the name for this

Dark/light life force’s claim.

Especially for children

Security is

A very fine

Feeling for

Every single human being.

Island wind

O’er the shores of the rocky Faroes

Evidently this gale often blows.

Happy Birthday!

Thrice ten years! We’re

Here to cheer you

In this special way. We’ll

Raise your spirits – you’ll surely hear it –

This is

Your awesome birthday. Hooray!
