KEYS

Posted on December 20, 2016 by artifiswords

The jangling
Of the keys
A sign that
Help was near
Locked away…
Once out of hope
She knows how
To set him free

PLANNER

Posted on December 20, 2016 by artifiswords

He’s a planner
Not a schemer…
A visionary dreamer
She must be a seer…
She knew him almost
Before he knew himself

GLUE

Posted on October 26, 2016 by artifiswords

It wasn’t glue

Holding them together…

You could call it

Undeserved loyalty…

But it really was

Patience in spite of

Nothing to justify it…

You could call it stupid

But…in kindness

Give him credit…

He held onto hope until

It died in his hands

ACHE

Posted on October 26, 2016 by artifiswords

An ache

Like I never

Knew before…

How do you undo

Years given to

A mistake?

I only know

It’s the biggest job

On my plate

NOT ENOUGH JOY

Posted on October 26, 2016 by artifiswords

Will there ever be

Enough joy

In a world

Backsliding

Into hate

And despair?

When some

So-called leaders

Orchestrate

More of the same

FISH TANK

Posted on October 25, 2016 by artifiswords

The world now

Forces us to live

In a fish tank…

Hardly any privacy

Anymore…and less

All the time…

Too late to become

A digital non-entity…

We’re saddled from birth

With an indelible number

LAND OF PLENTY (OF NOTHING?)

Posted on October 25, 2016 by artifiswords

Standing with the

Fridge door ajar…

Full of jars and packages

But nothing to eat?

You’ve done it too?

No surprise…we’re

Spoiled by plenty…

Plenty of nothing

It seems…spoiling

The American Dream

ON THE BALL?

Posted on October 23, 2016 by artifiswords

On the ball

Would be the

Last thing I’d say…

But there’s no doubt

That saying what he does

Takes a lot of balls

Just to be clear…with him

That isn’t a good thing

DON’T SAY IT

Posted on October 23, 2016 by artifiswords

There’s an old

Tradition…

As a baseball game

Progresses with

Naught but outs…

Don’t mention that

A no-hitter is

Underway…it’s

Sure to be bad luck…

Don’t say it!

DUH!

Posted on October 23, 2016 by artifiswords

Genius?

Oh…no!

Really hasn’t

The slightest clue…

But enough are fooled

So we know what we

Have to do…at least

I do…don’t you?
