The World of Ing

We all have in us an ing.

It’s a thng.

A wrong word said has us cringing.

We dance, we sing,

we do anything,

something.

Breathing,

working,

dining,

sleeping,

waking,

mingling.

laughing,

crying,

loving,

whining,

winning,

worrying,

losing,

living,

dying.

Life is one big ing.

the loving

In the rain I like singing

and in puddles jumping

occasionally dancing

alternatively dashing

running and rushing

from downpours escaping;

but if it’s just misting

or dripping and spritzing

a gentle though chilly face and hand wetting

hand in hand with my darling

to be sure I’ll be ambling

or quite slowly strolling

frequently joking

and chatting and laughing

till tears are a’flowing

and we are a’rolling

faces a’glowing

all the while knowing

the rain we’re not noting

our steps it’s not slowing

lost as we are in the moment, the loving

Brrr-ing--Morning is Calling!

Ding!

Alarm is sounding!

Bing!

Boss is calling!

Zing!

You are rushing!

Ping!

Spouse is texting!

Sing!

Birds are chirping!

Ring!

Day is starting!

Writing, Reading, Rhyming, Enjoying

Writing, then reading, and see it rhyming

That’s what a poet does in his or her writing

And when he or she’s done, he or she’ll be reading

And he or she will be satisfied when he sees it rhyming.

Reading, then see it rhyming, and he or she is enjoying

That’s what someone does in his or her reading

In a poem, he or she looks, and sees that it is rhyming

And soon enough, it is seen that he or she is enjoying.

twists and turns

One moment there's laughing

the next there's crying

one second you're flying

the next you're falling

one minute spent living

the next, spent dying

one day the world is turning

the next, my world is crumbling

My Beautiful Thing

You are the weak dawn rays of Sunday, gleaming.

You are the first rich taste of coffee, steaming.

You are vivid tales of midnight wonder, dreaming.

You are stars on winter nights, ethereal-seeming.

You are chocolate cakes and dates, a turquoise ring,

You are autumn leaves, sea breeze, and when birds sing,

They sing of you. As we all do, my sweet darling.

You are a little bit of every beautiful thing.

Ill Keep On Living.

Through grit or by grace abiding

Ill keep on living.

Though mountains keep rising

And rain keeps falling-

I stand by these words spoken once in writing:

"There is no such thing as ending,

Just a new beginning."

So with everything

Life keeps on bringing,

Ill keep on saying,

Through grit or by grace abiding

Ill keep on living.

Future Planning

Right now I'm flailing

Can't shake the feeling

of quickly running

far and failing

So today I will be clinging

to any last hoping

I have left in by body shaking

Because lately I've been praying

and nothing has been happening

and I don't know what is happening

in the world surrounding

and in the lives with which I'm interacting

Since my head is so full of loathing

not self, but something

else that my words are not describing.

Tomorrow I'll be mailing

you the letter I spent my soul writing

all in the name of telling

you I'm not done believing

that the world is done giving

us what you need to stay standing

and not stop longing

for that great future you've been planning.

I am striving,

Burnt as toast, but I am surviving.

In a world I dislike, but I'm recognizing.

This world is nothing but arriving

At the face of this existence, no more hiding

You can try, but you are lying

To yourself, that you are truly trying.

The anger, the resentment, and the conniving.

As we hold what we say, we are pacifying.

You hold your peace, realizing,

Faith, hope, and love are tragically dying.

Where did it go? Please stop the crying.

Make the difference with socializing

Don't make everything about providing,

Encouragement of this terrorizing.

Believe what you know and keep on smiling.

Know the rest of the world is also surviving.
