More Sadder or Funnier Than:

More sadder or funnier than:

An old girl friend getting stung on the bare butt by a wasp while sitting on an outhouse toilet seat.

Now it’s your turn..

Improvisational

Please pass the situational reasoning
Rational invitations castrating
Assaulting senses aberrational
Blood drips, cools pooling gravitational

Rendezvous Blues

Indigo, azure to cyan’s hue
No purity ever so true
Patrons can see the obvious clue
Why her place is called Rendezvous Blues

Over Hearing

Pushing past the melody
The words absorbing my soul
Billowing full of buoyancy
Awareness does extol

Replacing angst with calming
Opens the ears of the blind
Hearing eyes weeping seeing
All my senses intertwined

Senryu Twenty one

 

She laughs and I cry
It brings a tear to my eye
Only God knows why

There Will Come a Time

 

Wished away the reality of my life
Torn asunder with banality’s strife
Babies, bosses and most always the wife
My cup runneth over bubbling with rife

I point my own finger at me, my mind
Putting pen to paper I did consign
In fact if it wasn’t for me, my con line
Who at twenty doesn’t think it will be fine

I fell to bottom of a deep deep mine

Said what I had to and it’s time to choose
The next rhyming word, please choose not to lose

Senryu Twenty

Pain again, again
Pills. relieving then amen
Pain again the bane

Senryu Nineteen

Purple helmeted pinkies
Pump up to polish their hats
Fighting like Tom cats

Causality

Tethering your great enthusiasm
Keeps victory within your reach
Quelling fears falling in the chasms
And staves off a potential breach

Mutual Mutability

Is it mutual
Do we know
Is it factual

Is it so
Take my hand
And let us go

Up the hills
Down the valleys
Hold on tight
Through dark alleys

Let’s say it mutual
Let us know
Make it factual

Make it so
Take my hand
And let us go

Travel far
Show we know
Embrace the stars
As we grow
