baby you gotta

Total Consciousness: A Dilemma

Caught between choices.

Who has all the answers now?

Buddha would have guessed.

I Used to Be a Team Player

Wishy-washy whines:

"When is this thing due again?"

Skull versus brick wall.

I will wash the dishes while you go have a beer

paula cole ponders
where have all the cowboys gone?
in line with ARM's theme.

an apology or an excuse

my friends, please forgive!
the end of march has come fast
sans inspiration.

THIS Revolution is Still Alive

Brown hands holding white,

Niños holding stars and stripes,

We will march for love.

The Dentist

Spring cleaning takes a
Mouthful of a new meaning
Polished, plaque-free teeth.

Where Have All The Complainers Gone?

Life’s complicated
Good thing no one ever whines
Oops, except right here

A night of spoken word poetry

He spouts poetry
liquid rhymes that slip through teeth
so fast you can't blink

Where Have All The Authentic People Gone?

Holden had it right
Fakes, smiles wrapped tight, keep warm
Minnesota cold

Where Have All The Laborers Gone?

Parents foot the bill
Complain, scream, whine, throw a fit
Your life is not fair

Just sayin': Haiku

Old coffee tastes bad
Like water through an old sock
Can I make fresh pot?

Reality: A Haiku

Be yourself always
Never give up dreaming big
But you have to pay bills

Not a Haiku, but still a poem

And themes were only meant to be guidelines, right? So here goes.

A GUIDE TO LIFE ACCORDING TO ME
(An Alphabet Poem)

A raise of a glass, a turn of a head
Be the best you can be as you roll out of bed
Create the world you want for yourself and others
Don't be afraid to hide under the covers
Exaggerate the truth, but only sometimes
Forget the past; to yesterday there are no rhymes
Google your boss but only when desperate
Hurry home for comfort and you will find it quite pleasant
I believe there is no cure for homesickness
Just put in a tape and you'll be all set-ness.
Kindness
Love, peace, and forgiveness to friends
Money is nice but is not a means to an end
Never say no to an opportunity for fun
Open your home to any girl on the run
Pay no attention to gossip or greed
Quick! Run to hide that prisoner you freed
Rest when you need to
Stand still now and then
Take time for yourself
Use all products on the top shelf
Veal is never an answer
When wondering what to cook for dinner
Xenophobia is never smart
Your head is never wiser than your heart
Zeal for life is worth more than a fart.

Interviewing hell: A Haiku in Loose Form

Interview brings hope
To those souls who need it most
Please like me, please do

Spring is in the Haiku

It's sixty degrees
I'm wearing flip flops today
And it feels so fab

Insomnia: A Haiku

I should be sleeping
Instead I am still dreaming
Not pleasant ones, dull

Where Have All The Lovers Gone?

Love is Santa Clause
But no presents here, just coal
Adults cease belief

Where Have All The Hippies Gone?

Remember Kent State?
Had burning passion for change
Paper or Plastic?

An ode to daylight savings time in haiku form

Lose an hour fast
Gain it back without the past
Don't look back, glance up.

A Scene from Downtown Phoenix on First Friday (in Seventeen Syllables)

Fire eating, art

Vodka, hot dogs, ultrasounds

Cowbell acid trip
