#vsspoem #help
drag the chains
through obdure and injure
attached to the pit of the soul
spike the tears
some sorrow with ginger
to let go a little self control
turn down the lights
with faders and switches
crawl back into a delirious hole
strike the match
clear out sinus and itches
warm the heart from the cold

Dinner for 7
A King has no time
for deipnophobic
There are
many meals to eat
(The Spaniard liked fresh lampron)
& maids to greet
(The Witch had hind at Hampton)
wives to be had
(The Rose ate from his own dish)
& wives to behead
(The German ate salted fish)
some for breakfast
(The Child loved her sweet jelly)
& others for bed
(The Widow ate pork belly)
And, with every meal they ate
an ordered side of heir looms
Too oft replied by empty plate
Creating the hangriest of grooms
So beware all ye ladies
If the king comes to call
unless you have two necks
answer not at all

Something New
97
Something New
Old habits die hard
Old flames become anew
Not quite admirable
Or the dives we are used to
The fire resigns, inadequate arrow
Blowing across the horizon
A heart is to be fallow
Soon to be planted
Anon to give rise
Better one that has granted
Beyond the big eyes
A smart one has said be safe
In the narrow
Never go wide
Unless you’re a sparrow
Peace bestowed upon…

Stop playing caper on me -
Says the dough gloop bread -
Shhh! the wild kid drag on Climbing, laughing and stunting -
On the drenched gloop dough - Until a fall beget Jimmy.

No I’m not a hunter Stalking isn’t fun I do not have the energy To chase prey with a gun Instead I feign a weakness and wait for them to mock Then I lay a trap door down and wait for them to knock #mock #vsspoem #poetshub https://t.co/Aj3z15TFJy

The Next Day
95
A successful year is one of past
We have made it so lift your glass
Resolutions come and they will go
No shame to have, stay with the flow
Aspire to make the most today
Leave the past far away
Keep your feet from being cold
Dream of oceans as we grow old
Wings do carry us above the shore
Inspirit of happiness love and more
At midnight lets all cry and sing
For the next day, and the…
