Block . . .

Here, nothing but time
On my dirty hands
To no avail
Try as hard I might
Pouring every ounce
Of my energy into a song
The only thing I can do for you
Something is wrong
Barely a note breaking through
hardly a clue
Dry as a well
Arid as the desert
I seem to be When will it end?
We will see

What, you’re asking,
Is there to be concerned about
In this anomaly?
Sure this kind of thing
Happens all the time
To all practitioners of
Rhythmic expression
Propelling souls into space; flying
Evoking so many emotions within
Out of the din
But in spite of this
I will persevere
In my endless quest
For voice to express
What I feel

Time . . .

. . . will tell . . . 

. . . if principle transcends political ambition . . . 

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/sen-elect-mitt-romney-says-op-ed-trump-s-character-n953621)
". . . (Mitt)Romney, just two days from being sworn in as the junior Republican Senator from Utah, wrote in the Washington Post that Trump's most glaring failure has been his inability to unite a "nation so divided, resentful and angry.". . . "It is well known that Donald Trump was not my choice for the Republican presidential nomination," Romney said. "After he became the nominee, I hoped his campaign would refrain from resentment and name-calling. It did not.". . ."

Regularity . . .

When too much time has moved along
And little has been said
I perceive a fine delinquency
Has infested my own head

Sure, there's no obligation
And no deadline thus imposed
Remuneration's nebulous
My masquerade's exposed

Yet there's still so much left
To be expressed on topics numberless
That I feel somewhat inadequate
When, in frequency, remiss

A Little . . .

The ocean waves kill the beach
Wherever they please
So many places to reach
Yet still with grace and ease
Countless miles to cover
Before meeting another

Nesting, a wren adds a leaf
A home she foresees
no blueprint, plans and no grief
Construction marvel agreed
Seasons need no instruction
Each with its own introduction

A little at a time
Enough that you can do
All else will wait in line
Many different worlds
Can’t be moved at once

Sun shines so frequently
No invitation required
No schedule does she keep
She and the moon will conspire
You want your cake and to eat it
All in its place without misfit

A little at a time
Enough that you can do
All else will wait in line
Many different worlds
Can’t be moved at once

A Little

Leading . . .

(from Leadership in Turbulent Times by Doris Kearns Goodwin)
". . . by his third term, (Theodore) Roosevelt had begun to soften his abrasive self-righteousness. Working with Democrats, whom he had previously labeled as "rotten," he brought the two parties together to pass civil service reform and a host of bills to benefit the city of New York. He had taken his weaknesses, his physical liabilities, his fears, and the brash and self-centered aspects of his leadership style, and had carefully worked to overcome them. . . "

Morton 1 . . .

(source: http://animals.mom.me/stages-praying-mantis-life-cycle-6282.html)

Morton the mantis came of age in, what seemed to him, an inordinately lengthy period of time. He dreamed, joyfully, of the moment when he and his mantis-mate would finally 'join' to lead a life of bliss (connubial and otherwise).  Slogging through adolescence, Morton found himself larger in size than before; certainly larger than all of the other nymphs. He began to shed exoskeletons periodically and occasionally tended to be sluggish and unable to eat. Finally that annoying molting process ended at the beginning of summer, and Morton found himself to be a mature adult.

Yours . . .

. . . alone . . .


The time that's spent
Is yours alone
The choice of how
Or where it's spent
Must be undertaken
With all the seriousness it merits
Like music, good or bad,
Once it's heard
It's gone in the air
Never again to be retrieved

From Deep . . .

. . . inside . . .


Like house and soldiers
Checkers and chess
My heart and soul
Paid dearly their dues
Learning we called it
and learning it was
But I itched to be finished
And to make my own news

Was not really concerned
Of the what and the how
Being preoccupied
With the here and the now
Everyone I encountered
Was informed of my view
No holds barred
I bombarded not few

Now lo many an issue transpired
I have seen countless things
Have lived well was inspired
Maybe you do not know me
From exploits derrynge do
But I've devoted my all
To endeavors unfew
It isn't fatigue or exhaustion I feel
It's just time for the new

A Little . . .

. . . Money

Advance toward days of meaning
Seriously living at a different pace
Time will not wait nor stand still
Spend it wisely in spite of
Its tremendous value
Bet minuscule cost

Translate withdrawals
Devising a higher relief
Choose when
Follow through
What made the happy ones happy

Lucky enough make your choice
Connections sharpen
Isolation dulls
Always learn
Pursue your passions

Wrinkled . . .

(from http://www.slate.com/articles/life/a_fine_whine/2012/10/why_do_we_iron_our_clothes_let_s_just_wear_wrinkled_ones.html by Seth Stevenson)
". . . I waste zero time slaving over an ironing board. Squander no money on superfluous laundry services. Budget no mindshare to the relative dishevelment of my cuffs, box pleats, and plackets.
. .You will say I look less than neat. You'll tell me I'm one or two corners shy of squared away. I contend that the deficiency is all yours. You are beholden to an ancient despot: the tyranny of crispness. . ."
