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Withdrawn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.

#acrostic

Here’s

A

Spiffy, jiffy,

Happenin’ way

To

Access like-thinking

Groups these days.

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.
