Uh-oh, I Fell Asleep
my arm is dangling
one is squished
the swivel chair
discomfort is dished
an hour-nineteen
was gone in flick
but sawing logs
became plot to pick
my back is sore
being semi-reclined
not a position
I am so inclined
even the headphones
pinned to my head
weren't enough
to keep me in stead
and when I awoke
that glass of wine
half full with a grin
stopped at one-o-nine
I will have to exercise
to rid of the crimps
and have my breakfast
ridding of limp
Oh-oh I forgot
my challenge today
but Becky is nice
it will be okay

This Side Up
It seems to me
That it’s always too late
By the time
The directions are read
I fear there will be dread
It’s a lesson learned
Each time I say
And yet
I do it again and again
In my mind’s careless den
Upside down
Is only good for cake
And not
For things that need
A visibly observant deed
One of these days
This terrible trait will be
Disaster
A valuable breakage
Or defective leakage
So directional discipline
Should be my motto
For without
My life will be a mirage
And a crashing barrage

Bath VS Shower
a torrential blast
hot or luke
rinsing your life
drained of the past
a soak of serenity
a steamy pond
that cools with time
creating vision of clean
short in its storm
a silencing rain
spinning and swirling
the message is warm
strange practices complied
a cigar and champagne
some kind of image
an attempt I supplied
a business-like hurry
I dry and comb
ready to socialize
no time for a worry
relaxed and composed
no destination in plan
I think... read a book
my future is prosed

Snowfall
Like a quiet mother
never warned
in earthly passion
patient, not scorned
touching you in purity
kissing you in fluffy fray
your wintered face is red
but not embarrassed on display
you know if she isn't present
that she'll be back some day
polka-dotting your world
and watching you at play
in feathery protection
coming from above
she'll tuck you in and pray
blanketing you with love

SUN
an almost perfect sphere
...of hydrogen and helium
it mainly subsists
and it seems to be
the reason that
humans exist
but that's an explanation
merely scientific
so let's be specific
we seem to talk
about the essential importance
of it's rising each day
it gets a lot of press
is it sunny today
we ask with hope and dismay
maybe it's over-rated
because after all
other things are paramount I recall
seen by some as a Deity
isn't that a stretch
a wee bit overblown
I realize it's apparent magnitude
is incredibly high
it's reputation duly known
it's ultraviolet radiation
is pretty outstanding, ionizing
us all, I admit it's balkanizing
which gets into politics
another issue completely
so let's stick to science
and I'll continue to rant and surmise
about the superfluous sun
as I argue in compliance
with absolutely no one
as my profession is weak
and my prospects bleak

Current Girl
I guess I'll never know
as a child of black and white
as the platinum vision sparkles
with innocence and glow
Magic
Far away
Unreal
Strangely a friend
The stories invade my thoughts
confusion toys with my passion
I don't know what to believe
as questions of my young mind jots
Blurred
Compelled
Painfully curious
Driven
Reaching and singing as a candle
That flickered, snuffed in silent frenzy
a plot of selfish power
or the fingers just slipped from the handle
Saddened
Speaking
I wanted to help
Invisibly
I am not sure of the source
this river that has no end
the trickle of joy is crying
but the tears have gone off course
Imagining
Praying
Deciding
Concluding
There is still the spinning celluloid
and Presidential songs
I'd rather be loved by you
the connection will never be void
Love
maybe
Does it matter
NO...

Golden Thoughts
the impatience that networks greed
la poule aux oeufs d'or
losing all by striving to gain
as avarice, reaches itself of o'er
one finds oneself outreaching
in a two-harvest demand
a world of corn-cockle and weeds
the exhausted soils command
a woman, and fat hen
fansy'd to herself
and gave quite overlaying
growing obese upon't the excessive shelf
we shall be content when we are well
but in Savannahamsa Jataka's tale
a father's poor family reborn
as golden feathers blossom in retail
satisfaction beware of itch
for further's store and gleam
the swan was seized in haste
it's plume a dying dream

Felicity Electricity
I think she is unbalanced
I charge her with that
giving me static
making her my doormat
she discharges negative
it's getting annoying
I'd like something positive
that would be somewhat buoying
transmitting energy
of the neutralizing kind
I am always the insulator
so sparking assigned
I am shocked at her gridlock
as her sparsely bound shell
rubs against mine
those weakly bound cells
she has that triboelectric effect
my hair is standing
I can't take it anymore
she is far too demanding
my cling to sanity
millijoules of madness
my capacitance so limited
to unplug, would be gladness

Did I Really See That?
of course not
what do you think?
that what you see
just happened
to be?
you are dreaming
if you look
and envision
what is transpiring before you
as provision
is something real?
and within
your conclusion
because you descry
it's illusion
although I might
offer a view
that in your dreams
the dancing colours
are streams
if life's true water
filtering the past
with future's spectre
you command
as director
so let it flow
don't think too much
let sleeping breezes
touch your fantasy
painless squeezes
so my daunting answer
is a dubious no
not knowing the time
or where I am
thoughts sublime

PREDICAMENT
DeaBeePea 1-27-16
Predicament
Inspired by Aretha Franklin's classic
What you want
and what you need
is what I'm askin'
a little respect for me to be baskin'
I ain't gonna do you wrong
so show me dignity
and do unto me
as I will do unto thee
I'm about to give you my heart
and in return
I want your regard
for this modest bard
Ooo, your kisses
I hope they're sincere
cause I can't give you money
except words of honey
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
the most important thing
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
we're more than just a fling
Sock it to me, sock it to me,
give me that ovation
not for adoration
but just an invitation
It shouldn't be an effort
with gentle consideration
or else I might be forced to vacate
unless you accord to placate
come to my home
where my soul is resting
waiting for a bit more
on tributes lonely shore
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
the most important thing
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
we're more than just a fling

Squirmy
It happens to all of us
but the fun is analysing
the cause of writhe
it can be nerves
caused by a surplus
of stressful tithes
or it can be more musical
counting the beat
with a happy wiggle
or ants in your pants
an eusocial insect
that causes hex-wriggle
or a rash of some sort
a decision in haste
a fleshy response in twitch
or personal issues
a relationship twist
of a seven-year itch
overwhelming anticipation
an exciting event
that makes you toss
and when your little
of naughty deed
viewing that tawse
whatever it is
that causes the movement
described as squirm
it might be a scenario
of which you are caught
and never to worm

CURRE(A)NTLY
did you know
the town of Currant
currently has 65?
and that the pug
so named
enjoys the Vitamin C
and my current opinion
is currently stuck
on saving pine blister rust
the currents are steady
as the ice fields melt
a warming trend of current
as I currently plan
a lamb sauce
so antioxidant
the current path
of eroding shores
dunes my thoughts
as particles of time
sift along
in trickling vines
whether e or a
am am currently indulged
in curre(a)nt thoughts
as current events
perturb by vision
creating derision

Up or Down?
I'm sorry
I can't answer that
up in many ways
as I tip my hat
thankful for friends
and festive times
and feeling pretty good
and still making rhymes
but things are crazy
as I look around
scouring through sources
in information's lost and found
trying to make sense
of the world's mess
sometimes looking for
a reason to dress
so I guess I can say
I'm up in a way
but stark raving mad too
as I continue to play
