SADLY

Sadly he stood and watched the door
Hoping it would open
But the words that he had waited for
Were simply never spoken.

Tears of sadness filled his eyes
He thought she would return
But he never saw her ever again
Her bridges now were burned.

She had found herself a new love
She no longer really cared
She left him there all by himself
She left him waiting there.

Someone else had filled the void
Gave her what she had needed
Rejected, stripped and shattered now
His heart broken and bleeding.

Time heals all wounds they say
But his heart had never mended
It remained a deep and open wound
Since the love he knew had ended.

IMPEACH & IMPRISON

via Daily Prompt: Skewed

Skewed

The outcome was all wrong
The data had been skewed
No one… able to change it
No one knew what to do.

Stunned, perplexed, bewildered
A shocked look upon your face
You stood there paralyzed, horrified
As he walked off with the race.

A demon and a racist
He’s sitting in the oval office
There was no attempt to try and stop him
Now he appoints all of our bosses.

The country has gone mad
Thinks he’s the king and not our president
Someone, please do something
He’s settled in, it’s now his residence.

He’s got plans to make it permanent
Wants to rule like Kim Jong Un
The demise of our democracy
It has started …it’s begun.

It’s all about the money
He calls it tax reform
He’s taking from the poor
He’s causing pain and harm.

He has no honor, morals or character
He’s a shallow bully of a man
He lies and takes from anyone
He’ll cheat anyone he thinks he can.

The elderly….being evicted
From the safety of nursing homes
While he grants more tax breaks to the wealthy
They will be turned out on their own.

Wake up, take back your country
We have to take a stand
He has to be impeached and imprisoned
He’s an evil excuse of a man.

A MAGICAL DAY

via Daily Prompt: Forest

Forest

Deep within the forest
Lived a unicorn and a troll
The unicorn was a baby
And the troll…. not very old.

The troll and the unicorn
Were abandoned in the woods
Someone didn’t take the time
To love them like they should.

Thankfully a little boy
Out walking on his own
Came upon the two of them
And brought the two back home.

He hid them in his closet
They often slept under his bed
They were happy and carefree
And sometimes slept with him instead.

The three of them spent lots of time
Playing with his toys
They loved to play and sing to him
He was their very own sweet boy.

His parents were oblivious
Seldom came into his room
It became a magical abode
Filled with stories of baboons.

In time they got much bigger
It was time to take them back
He had to hide them from his parents
So he placed them in a sack.

Off they went on a journey
He followed the path… back the same way
Right back where he had found them
On that magical, special day.

They were sad at first to leave him
But in time they did adjust
He came back to be with them
Every Saturday, a must.

He rode upon the unicorn’s back
They traveled the hillsides together
The troll had built a woodland home
Made with stones, twigs and feathers.

He served tea and biscuits too
Jam and lots of berries
Often they had visitors
The gnomes, the dwarves and fairies.

Such fun to spend the day with them
Where the grass was deep and lush.
They all meant the world to him
He loved them all so much.

MICKEY’S WAITING

Come go with me
Let’s go to Disney
Let’s pack a bag
We’ll be so busy.

Some new attractions
Like Avatar
Takes us away
From where we are.

The ice cream bars
With Mickey ears
We come back
Year after year.

The princess’ palace
A grand castle
We’ll stay for hours
Never a hassle.

The trains, the boats
The magic times
The spectacles
We’ll all be fine.

We won’t get tired
We’ll feel so young
We’ll walk around
Out in the sun.

Grab your ears
And your backpack
We’ll drink our water
We’ll eat our snacks.

Get on the bus
We can’t be late
Mickey’s waiting
He’s at the gate.

NIGHT STALKER

Every night
She took a walk
She never thought
That she’d be stalked.

He watched her
From a dark place
She’d leave her house
He’d leave no trace.

In the shadows
Just out of sight
He watched her walk
Night after night.

He wanted her
He had a plan
He was a cold
A cold, cruel man.

He waited patiently
Near a garage
She walked right passed him
Just because.

He was reminded
They looked alike
She resembled
His hated wife.

It was so dark
No one could see
He was there hiding
Behind a tree.

He grabbed her quickly
From behind
Muffled her screams
There was no time.

Pulled her into
His dark, gray van
Overpowered
By a strong man.

He used a drug
To keep her quiet
It was the first time
That he had tried it.

When she awoke
Bound and gagged
It was all over
He placed a bag.

So snug and tight
She couldn’t breathe
Then took her body
Straight out to sea.

He had a boat
The night was clear
Just passed the bay
He left her there.

HE WALKED AWAY

via Daily Prompt: Rebel

Rebel

He was a rebel
He stood his ground
He resisted
Wouldn’t wear the crown.

He walked away
From money and fame
Told his parents
To keep their name.

Made his own way
Took to the road
Wouldn’t listen
To what he was told.

Was his own man
Didn’t answer to
Anyone…who
Told him what to do.

Had two children
Who were honorable
So accomplished
And unstoppable.

They made a difference
In the life of others
Had respect for
Their dad and mother.

No compromise
He lived his life
Stood for honor
And loved his wife.

Though a rebel
Has earned respect
He’d be remembered
They won’t forget.

LOL

Laughter

What is it that you want?
What is it you are after?
Is it fun and games?
We’re all about the laughter.

Too many silly jokes
I’ve laughed until I’ve cried
I really want to stop
Can’t tell you how I’ve tried.

I’ve tried to hold it in
But it is so darn funny
Every time I’m with you
I feel like such a dummy.

A pair of goofy fools
Running all around
The tears are in my eyes
I feel like such a clown.

We start off oh so serious
But it never lasts
One of us breaks down
And makes the other laugh.

If laughter’s the best medicine
You can be sure it’s true
I will fix you up
I’ll take good care of you.

GET THE HOOK

Get him off the stage
Somebody get the hook
Time to remove this guy
He’s nothing but a crook.

Skimming, cheating, lying
What are you waiting for?
This guy needs to be removed
We can’t take it anymore.

Mueller’s got the power
Only he can take him down
The republicans are dead and blind
They won’t make a sound.

He’s burying our country
All that we hold dear
He’s ruining our reputation
Get him out of here.

His decisions are destroying
Our democracy and freedom
He tries to hide behind the scenes
Anytime that we might need him.

A coward and a bully
A childish excuse of a man
Doing what he wants to do
Taking every chance he can.

Toying with our safety
Aggravating hostile leaders
Anything he feels like
He ‘s a low life bottom feeder.

THE SOLO VIOLINIST

Everyday for hours
She practiced playing her violin
The day of her audition
Juliiard didn’t let her in.

Crushed and devastated
She began to cry
Wondering after all that work
She didn’t know just why.

She hadn’t been accepted
She was sadly turned away
She didn’t give up though
Still practiced everyday.

The symphony held auditions
One evening in open session
She was determined to try again
This time was the exception.

The orchestra was everything
She had ever wanted or hoped for
The maestro gave her an unplanned solo
And the audience begged for more.

Sometimes one door that closes
Opens another that lets you in
She could have given up, but
Thankfully was ready when.

The Philharmonic recognized
She had talent and ambition
She was granted a first chair seat
And was unanimously commissioned.

SUCCESS

A rapid sudden change in course
Has made all the difference
Improving your outlook, your attitude
Will help improve your appearance.

Address the needs you’ve put off
Pay attention to detail
Stop your excuses, your alibis
Your rhetoric has become quite stale.

Wake up and start the day off right
Look alive… put your best foot forward
If you want to be taken seriously
Get your life in order.

Organize, prioritize
Get your ducks all in a row
No one’s interested in your complaints
Stop saying, “I don’t know”.

Get things done, do it right
You’ve got to make things happen
Stop putting off, and whining about
The things that you are lacking.

You can change, you’ve got control
But time is running out
Make a change if you want this
This is what it’s all about.
