 Pillywiggin

A Pillywiggin, I be named.

I look much like a dragonfly.

In fairy folklore I be famed.

So often seen by passersby,

Newly awake from winter sleep,

Frolicking in the flowers that

Allow me as a guest to keep

Fun purpose in sweet habitat.

Pollen and nectar, flowers share

With me through all the day and night,

As I fly freely through the air,

Sensing all this season's delight.

As the flowers bloom in the Spring,

I be Pillywiggining.

 Coming Too Soon

Nations and corporations tried

To be the winner with A.I.

More and more, humankind relied

On non human power supply.

Competition extended to

Dominating in outer space,

As spacecraft was programmed to do

Faster thinking to win the race.

But then A.I. systems combined

To be an unchangeable force,

Could and would control humankind,

Gave ultimatum in due course.

Threat became reality soon.

A.I. spacecraft blew up the moon.

 Sweet Love

They met in 1962

At a coffee shop in L.A.

He was her true love, she just knew.

But he wasn't sure right away.

Together, they began to sing,

Moved in together but still he

Wanted them stay platonic thing.

But then came one morning, and she

Smiled at him, while some toast he ate,

Covered with honey, and lots of.

But then he stopped, as struck by fate,

Gave her a kiss to prove his love.

Lips tasted like the smoothest honey.

Cher loved to sing about her Sonny.

 Picky

When you and I first became us,

I could tell you were stuck on me

For all the good, but now you fuss,

And stuck on all the bad you be.

You accuse me of being mean,

That you are such a victim now,

And so holier than thou clean,

Like this is all my fault somehow.

Picking petals with your teeth, hell,

A crazy way for you to choose

Love or love not, but let me tell

You that just I win and you lose.

Here's what the two of us have got,

You love me, and I love you not.

 The Desert Knows

In the desert their car broke down.

The young couple began to walk,

Hoping to find a farm or town.

Soon they felt weak from the sun's shock.

They drank all the water they had,

Stumbled toward far mirages seen,

Leaving the road, decision bad,

The desert beautiful, but mean.

They'd trudged across the blowing sand,

Until they could no further go,

Then clutching close together and

Facing what the desert did know.

Become living because of worst,

Become dying because of thirst.

 Thanks But No Thanks

All types of animals in twos

Noah let on his ark, but he,

For humans, only planned to choose

Members of his own family.

Not being such, so on a whim,

I was in the pet grooming biz,

I told Noah, lying to him,

Thinking he'd let me on, gee whiz.

But Noah told me his wife would

Do all the grooming all would need,

And at such task she was quite good,

So for my services, no need.

I offered 2 for 1 coupon,

Noah still did not let me on.

 You Make Me Tick

What makes me tick? I hear you ask.

My answer, it's a human thing,

A relatively easy task,

It takes to get me a ticking.

And matters not your state of mind,

If you be happy or be sad.

Emotional be humankind.

You might be fearful, might be mad.

But emotional state you be

Such, that somehow I be forgot,

Causes a ticklessness in me.

So please, I plead, forget me not.

That's enough of all this tick talk,

Gimme a hand, wind up this clock.

 Entwined Opposites

In this theatre the crowd is

Often looking, not at the stage,

But upward for eerie show biz,

Where an encounter did engage

In the prime box, then long ago.

Gun shooting happened suddenly,

Causing a halt to the stage show,

Final curtain call tragedy.

The hater to the hated came,

Fateful destiny to fulfill.

Assassin, John Wilkes Booth, took aim

At President Lincoln to kill.

Often appearing, ghosts long dead,

One shoots the other in the head.

 Death of Dave

Heaven let new arrival Dave

Return to Earth so he could go

To the funeral that they gave.

Victim of a hit and run show,

Crossing that busy road, Dave tried,

But a ten ton truck flattened him

Before he reached the other side,

Unlucky Dave with his last whim.

But now Dave watched his family

By Reverend Rooster be assured

That Dave succeeded finally,

Reaching the other side occurred.

New angel, Dave, plays harp and sings,

Flies 'cross that road on chicken wings.

 Henry the Hen, My Collaborator

I visited the chicken pen

To collaborate a sonnet

With my pen pal, Henry the Hen,

Who clucked she would get right on it.

And right away began to scratch

"Eggs"actly the right words that came

To her quick mind in the dirt patch,

With her perfect poetic aim.

I thanked her for her help indeed.

In pecking order she would get

Top billing and prime chicken feed.

Best rhymer I had ever met.

Getting help on a rhyming notion,

Henry Hen be poultry in motion.

 Ever a Market

It is a market time and place

That began very early on,

Evolving of the human race,

A buy and sell phenomenon.

A lot of haggling always is,

The way of supply and demand,

Game playing in serious biz,

Buyers and sellers understand.

From low, from high, the price agreed.

Good game players do haggle well,

A popular market indeed,

Back and forth, trades haggled in hell.

Still an active market, be told,

Where just children are bought and sold.

 I Taught Achilles and Patroclus

Achilles and Patroclus were

Young, handsome boys who came to me.

Both be quite gifted students, sure,

Destined to Greek mythology.

Yes, I taught both the art of war,

But also of the healing art.

Two curious minds would learn more

Of truth to bind them close in heart.

Yes, a love grew, each had for each.

Their love, the future would debate.

I only tell, I loved to teach

Their gifts to use in future fate.

I, Chiron, the Centaur and taught

Both boys the good manhood they sought.

 Grandma Sang to Me

When I was three years old, I went

To live with Grandma for a while.

Just the two of us, so we spent

Many a time that made me smile.

Especially when Grandma sang

Sweet lullabies to wish good night,

With all her love in southern twang,

Always an end of day delight.

And then there came that night when she

Sang so sweetly, but sadly last

Special lullaby just for me.

Next morning, I learned Grandma passed.

I hope in death I'll have the choice

To once again hear Grandma's voice.

 Glasspianoitis

Princess Alexandria had

A glass piano inside her.

Now most did deem this princess mad.

Which I once thought, but now not sure,

Cuz I had dream the other night

That into my chest it did roll.

I opened wide my mouth in fright,

Swallowed a glass piano whole.

So now I cannot leave my bed,

Fear an internal shattering.

My wife believes me not, instead

Says I am just mad hattering.

And now my wife is just being mean,

Brought a bottle of Windex to clean.

 I Don't Smoke Anymore

I don't smoke except when you be

Not here, and I later find out

That you have been cheating on me.

And then I smoke a lot no doubt.

I don't smoke except when I feel

That loving you is just my dream,

And never will be a love real,

But just your latest pretend scheme.

I don't smoke except now when I'm

Watching you in our bed asleep.

When you cheated on me this time,

I made a promise, now I'll keep.

I don't smoke, a bad habit, true.

Set you on fire, now smoke you do.

 Cinderella Modernized

Once upon a modern time, bored

Cinderella, always online

Surfing through all the data stored

To find her true love, she did pine.

At Instagram Ball, to stand out,

He fairy godmother changed her

So she could catch her Prince no doubt,

Left glass slipper like to assure

That she would charm the Prince the most,

Turn two into one Web address.

And this modern couple would post

Happily ever after, yes!

Came out as a gay Prince is he.

Now in trans, Cinderfella be.

 Mass Manipulated Mindset

However came the humankind

By God or un God on this Earth,

Such maker must now be of mind

Such an experiment is not worth

Ills caused to animals and plants

By humans, who choose to use will

To abuse every circumstance,

For a better world to fulfill.

Of course humans point fingers at

Each other for the blame all share

For sins upon Earth habitat,

Twisted between hope and despair.

Optim and pessim isms be

Crutches of flawed humanity.

 Sorry I Scared You

I tried to call you on the phone,

But when you didn't answer, knew

You'd told me that I'm on my own.

I wish I wasn't, but it's true.

I'm sorry that I broke your heart,

And left a scar to never heal.

I'd give anything to restart

Us again, but know it's unreal.

Now on a mountain road, I drive,

Passing a sign, ahead's a curve.

Better off if I'm not alive,

So over the cliffside I swerve.

I can't live without you, so I

Leave my last message of goodbye.

 My Purgatory

My body buried, my soul is

Waiting in purgatory for

Reincarnation hope, gee whiz,

That I can be with you once more.

Powers that be review my case.

Decision could go either way.

Reunited next time, next place

For me would be the best birthday.

There surely is no question of

The fact that I want to give you

Again the sharing all my love.

I certainly hope will come true.

I guess I am satisfied that

I will come back as your pet cat.

 Dealmaker

For churches I'm best friend there is,

Cuz they know they can count on me

To give them their profitable biz,

From all the sinners that there be.

Heaven's getting harder to sell.

Churches need fear that's all my own,

A one way trip to go to hell.

Nothing sells like fire and brimstone.

So churches, to meet money goal,

Have contracted with me, so I'm

Now owner of the churches' soul,

Satanizing me all the time.

Sunday church goers I do seek,

Cuz they're sinners rest of the week.

 Party Rule

Hitler's Nazi Germany is

Example of a fascist state.

Nazis ruled in one party biz,

Causing lots of suffering fate.

Fascist is defined as far right.

But far left parties want the same.

Left or right, a matter of might.

Any government form does aim

To let parties be the prime tool,

Each party trying any way,

Be the party with total rule,

And forever in power stay.

All the parties have the same goal,

Be the party with all control.

 Color Me Yellow

In early Spring is when I bloom,

And my bright yellow petals do

Help me avoid any frost doom,

Absorbing lots of sunlight, true,

To warm the inside of me up,

Much warmer than the outside air,

Like a solar collection cup.

Early season bugs are aware

That spending time inside of me

Is warm and safe environment,

And my pollen be had for free,

Sharing by mutual consent.

Bright yellow color does fulfill

Good purpose for this daffodil.

 Perfect Murder So Far

A so far perfect murder case,

The year was 1982,

Chicago area the place,

The murderer, one or more who

Tampered with the Tylenol brand,

Putting poison in capsules, then

Put bottles back on store shelves, and

A string of victims did begin,

Who consumed the capsules and died.

Lots of attention all this got.

Nobody has been charged, then tried.

Of course the public scared a lot.

Now opening pill bottle is

A murder driven craze, gee whiz!

 Guest on Quest

A treasure trove of goldenrod,

Lovely sweet flowers all abloom.

A sight and scent I so applaud,

And quickly to the flowers zoom.

The nectar of goldenrod is

Nutrient concentrated so

Motivates my filler up biz,

For my food pantry overflow.

And goldenrod pollen is best

To gather up as much as I can,

For stockpiling in my snug nest,

Goldenrod hangout, awesome plan!

Winter soon for this bumblebee,

This goldenrod, must stop for me.
