New Years Choices

Choices are at hand

Subscribe to others demands

Stand up, be a man

Roll over and live with guilt

Live the new life you’ve built

Unforgiving

You’re unforgiving

Once ate at my tormented soul

But it eats at yours

A higher power forgave

I do not trudge alone now

THURSDAY’S POET RALLY Submission

The New Year

The New Year has come
Rising with the morning sun
Regale in the fun

Yesterday is for planning
For tomorrows consequence

For One Shot Week 26

Magic

Magic is making                                                              
Sadness in the hearts vanish
And rabbits appear

Colored scarves drying the tears
The little orphans laugh and cheer

Monday Pot Luck Poem Week 16

Coping

Contrast that I am

The will bends depression wills

Flatten the zenith

Lowering expectations

Acceptance keeps the balance

Sled

Flexible Flyer
Button and boot buckle scratches
Hung in the cellar

Oiled runners with cross bar waxed
Awaiting the first snowfall

Question Authority

Purpose in yourself
Reasons for your existence
Someone ought to know

Writings on the wall
Spray painting the next question 
Why was Kilroy here

(insert day) Eve

It’s a day on the calendar
We can get through this with no mars.
You know who you are sitting there.
Trying to show that you do not care

You stare monitoring the hits
Who’s going to be the first to quit
Just going to pitch this one last ball
Winamping and not watching much at all
