tiptoe, quicker, dragon, mermaid
If you believe in the dragon and mermaid, Then I don't know quite what to say, Think I'd tiptoe 'round your contemplation, Moving quicker, as opposed to hesitation.
greetings, heart, mailable, novelty

clouds, shrouds, muppets, shotgun
Heard the shotgun ring out through the clouds, Saw two muppets protected by shrouds.
Oh my goodness, would you look at that, Someone shot the muppets, all covered in burlap!

My dear poet friends. Just want to let you know that my time is so limited lately. I can't join you as often as I would like to. But when I have a chance I peek in to see what clever poems you have come up with. Write on! Edelweiss

That's wonderful!
Fine with me, what's fine with you, Whatever you say, whatever you do, Give the words, don't give the words, Rhyme specifics or the unspecified. Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry, Whatever emotions spill from inside, I love to write poems, with all you guys!

Poetic Political Ponderings
The word of the wise is said in a soft tone. Not bellowed out through a huge megaphone. For when it gets too loud or down right smug, People don’t listen; they sweep words under a rug.
I live in a country with government health care. It’s liberating; - not Communism! - It’s protective care! You say there is no money to heal the poor sick, I say there is no money for the bombs that tick tick.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink. For a moment put aside animosity, and really try to think. Medical care shouldn’t be about money; for money really stinks. Medical care prevents crime to buy medicine; - not minks.
Many of you have hearts for your dearly loved pets. Many of you wouldn’t hesitate to bring them to vets. But when a poor human soul suffers in dying pain, You don’t want him helped? Why I think that’s insane.
I gladly pay taxes to my government, 50% or more, For sick people don’t beg here in front of closed hospital doors. It’s my way of giving and sharing for those who have not, This is the true Christian way; this is what I’ve been taught.
I have made a small attempt to write this in poem form, Hoping it will be read, - sorry if it was too long. But if I could change only one of your set minds, Then it was worth the effort to have written these very lines.
