Nov. 3 – Dispensation

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Should we just dispense

with this “Trick or Treat” nonsense?

Haven’t we had our fill yet?

~

We should be pros now.

After 4 years of trick or

treat, we’ve had our fill.

Patience Is The Best Defense

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Patience is so hard

to find especially when

there’s so little time.

~

Impatience only

benefits smarmy salesmen,

unless we shout, “Hell No!”

Ground Victory

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Leaves and grass battle

for the yard’s supremacy,

but the mower wins the day.

~

The land wins the day

with the mower’s shredding help

In battling leaves and grass.

Alight With Red and Gold

Posted by agarrabrant

0

The day might be gray,

but we can choose to focus

on the gold that’s also there.

~

Fire hues abound

both aground and amid trees,

defying the gray heavens.

Time To Recalibrate?

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Six years in the books!

May year seven mark the end

of our poetic protests!

~

It might be time for

poetic celebrations

instead. What say you?

Do Not Go Gentle…

Posted by agarrabrant

0

There’s something about

rainy days and playful pups

that leave seniors in the dust.

~

Dig out your raincoat,

gather up your cane, and leash,

and walk that puppy to sleep.

Call Them By Name

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Some will make the time,

planning early, how to vote.

We shall call them Patriots.

~

Some will not accept

a result they do not want.

We shall call them Trumpians.

Pointless Debate

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Can there be any

debate about caged children

or kidnapping governors?

~

Everything is moot,

if there’s no basis in fact

upon which we can rely.

Open and Shut Case

Posted by agarrabrant

0

From inside this box,

the world is very scary,;

unpredictably open!

~

We seek protection

by living in boxes and

don’t see the danger within.

Permission Granted

Posted by agarrabrant

0

A puppy helps us

discover the delight that

can be found in a pinecone.

~

Pinecones are such fun

for the young and young at heart;

if we are allowed to play

When Pen Strikes Paper

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Sometimes the mood strikes.

Other times it goes on strike.

Let’s just not strike the colors.

~

You triumphed over

every passing mood and wrote

anyway. That’s all that counts.

Gasping

Posted by agarrabrant

0

So many chances

to worry, so many times

to return home to the breath.

~

When returning home,

finding only empty fears,

tends to take one’s breath away.

Caps And Gaps

Posted by agarrabrant

0

I am exhausted!

Worn out by wearing the hats

and bridging the gaps all day!

~

A gap day or two

where you take off those hats and

simply rest is best.

Where The Heart Is

Posted by agarrabrant

 Knock, knock, who’s there? Knox.

Knox who? It’s the pits. No bull.

I need a home too.

~

Anyone can find

some old place to rest their head,

but that ain’t what makes a home.

And Still We Try

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Beyond any doubt,

what seems logical to some,

is irrational to me!

~

They say one man’s truth

is another man’s lie and

his meat another’s poison.

OH! WHAT HATH I WROUGHT!!

Posted by agarrabrant

A creator’s joy –

to see what emerges is

far better than expected.

~

Looking at this piece…

that’s but one of many gems

we took from our creator!

Teak and old iron,

salvaged from deck box and chest,

becomes patio table.

Visionaries see

beyond what is and transform

what was into something new.

Pandemic

Posted by agarrabrant

Rather than a force

to reckon with, he’s a farce

 to be ashamed of.

History will regard

this defective President

as a pox upon our house.

Place of Residence

Posted by agarrabrant

0

All great men reside

somewhere on a line between

hero and a horse’s ass.

~

And every woman,

great or not, has to point out

where he now resides.

A Harvest Feast

Posted by agarrabrant

Possible autumn

comforts: colorful trees, Mitch

ditched, and a new president.

~

Any one of these

would reduce autumnal blues,

two or three would be gravy.

Extreme Devestation

Uncontrolled passions

are a liability

crippling as heartlessness.

Extremes of fire

and extremes of ice ravage

both giver and receiver.

The president gets

 a medical exam on

 live tv? You’re kidding me!

A comprehensive

physical is worth the watch…

at least the prostate exam.

Too bad they haven’t

found a vaccine for human

stupidity yet.

That vile virus

Trump defeats Covid?

Perhaps a bit premature…

like “Dewey Defeats Truman”?

And he did it all

so quickly without even

his well-touted bleach.

dark clouds hovering depends

Unsettling Spin

No…but than again…

Yes, but just a little bit…

not out of the woods quite yet…

Much talk but little

substance. Why complicate things

by circling all around.

For the sparks to fly

sometimes you do not even

have to strike a match.

for unkenable reasons,

spontaneous combustion.

Course Correction

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Curbing base instincts,

we change course, here in mid stream,

deferring our planned critique.

~

We agreed it seemed

wrong to kick a man when he’s

down though that’s what he would do.

Oh! To Plod Again!

Posted by agarrabrant

Over head birds soar

as we plod step after step

through another day.

~

Some steps would be good!

A day wasted reading deeds

to allay another’s fears…
