Another collection of Prosody/Poetry Floaters and Sinkers, or An Ode to Politicians Some are floaters, Some are sinkers. Some are smelly, Some are stinkers! don't get caught here is exactly what i been taught justice ain't cheap, but it can be bought and it ain't a crime if you don't get caught that's the freedom the yahoos all sought but it ain't all turning out like it ought and that pretty much sums my passing thought Ode for Donald Trump well the science boys from every clime, yeh they all pitched in with overtime. the evidence was indeed conclusive, donald trump is most certainly abusive. hard to believe he could make such a climb being covered as he is in feces and slime. but i don't think his campaign will end well, in fact i suspect someone will blow him to hell. and while such nasty violence would be a crime, his speech seems to invite it time after time. if that happens well i will really be quite sad, for sure it'd make me less than glad; but i see the whole damn country has gone mad. Haiku you do Haiku do you do? Five, seven, and five Syllables will do. We try in that form To get across a feeling Of some emotion revealing... through fire for you I said it and it'll always be true - Yeh I'd walk through fire for you, Baby I'll do anything you ask me too, And for you I'll be glad to do it too. a bad road in the pouring rain well i got my green, i got my grain, don't do nothing to kill this old pain. nothing you can say will ever explain, you're a bad road in the pouring rain, one i driven down again and again. down by the creek down by the creek, my knees got weak. i wanted to speak, but being too meek, i could only squeak. then she said geek - get on down the creek! lips and hips, lover's trips I adore you like the moon and the stars, the sun and the sky. Forever and ever my sweet baby dear, always just you and I. the taste I love the taste of your charming kiss, the way you use your lips. And wow baby i really gotta say this, love how you move your hips! all i really Baby all I ever really wanna do Is make the sweetest love to you, And with everything I say and do, It's only for you I'm gonna be true. awesome love i got me a truly awesome love, baby was sent by heaven above! i count my blessings every day, and for her in gratitude i pray. i am such a blessed lucky boy, she brings me some of heaven's joy! green eyed girl in all of this Great God A'mighty world, nothin' i love more'n my green eyed girl! yeh how i love my sweet darlin' baby G, ain't no other girl anywhere i rather see. my green eyed girl is the only one for me! first time the first time i kissed you yeh that is when i knew no other lover would ever do and baby i love you true oh yes sweet Lord i do i've never----------------- i've never loved anyone like i love you, you may have heard it before too, but baby i swear to you it is true. being with you i never feel blue, there's nothing for you i wouldn't do. i've never loved anyone like i love you! sometimes sometimes i wonder, do you ever think of me? do you think of me and the way it used to be, before the crash and burn when you went free? in days so long ago and past we built a love that would last, before our love died and passed. sweet baby the future ain't what it used to be, yeh before you had to run away from me. can you tell me, what was it made you flee? can you hear me call your name? you know i'll never be the same, you're the only one ever lit my flame. ps. yeh, itz a country tune.... Hot Wired baby you know that i've got your line - i have your number and you have mine, please give me a call, that would be fine. so dial the number, let's use that wire, you know we both have that desire, yeh let's set this connection on fire! Golden Apples Don't be tempted by the shining apple of gold, It isn't very warm, neither to have nor to hold, And it will never protect you from that bitter cold You'll feel if your soul has been bought and sold. my love yes the first time ever that i lay with you made me want forever to stay with you, to play endless lovers games with you, to spend all of eternity's time with you. no one else could ever love me like you. downtown brown oooh baby, hey baby didja go downtown? and didja bring me some mexican brown? you know i really like to have the china white, but baby oooh baby the brown'd be alright. baby you and me could run together all night if you'll just do me good and treat me right. so best go on take it out and throw it down, cause honey, i know who you saw downtown. Cold city's beast Cold city's beast rumbles in the East. Stumbles. Falls, crawls. Goetz up. Beast rumbles in the East. For youths bored, cold city's beast. Four youths board city's cold beast. Some trade to ply, they have tools. Drivers of the screw. Four loosening dollars, true. Some trade to ply, a cheap peace. Of conversation for funds. Easy mark. Five dollars? For each of you? A cheap piece. For conservation of funds. Conversation for fun. Four each of you. The iron dog barks, makes sparks. Easy marks. True. Four each of you, shot through. Goetz off. For youths bored, city's cold piece. Easy to See Oh yeah any fool can see, you could do better'n me. Yeah it's easy to see, you're way to good for me. But it's more than clear When I hold you warm and near, kiss your cheek and nuzzle your ear, and whisper "I love you dear" In the middle of the night When you hold me warm and tight, Sharing your earthly delight, I know it's gonna be alright. Oh yeah any fool could see, you got eyes for me. Yeah it's plain to me, I'm the only one you see.

Bob Wright, 2012 daydream the cessation of digression for the possession of progression. there was a name for this. --- "it is well to know these things." the familiar litany broke Ceri's daydream, and he snapped back to the present reality. Moshe, the Elder, had just finished tasting the scents riding the evening air, and the litany signified completion of his olfactory examination. And more importantly his determination that everything smelled satisfactorily. They were well out into the scrub plains now, where danger was likely to be smelled before it was seen. Everywhere was the same drab vegetation, uniformly monotonous to the untrained eye. lamentation Midnight sweat, Soaking wet. Worst one yet, Can't forget. Vietnam vet. Also published . here
