THE UNTANGLING OF WHAT'S BEEN DONE

You are right, of course. The Middlings were quite busy while living their separate lives, apart from politics for the most part. Going to school, looking for jobs, struggling with careers, getting married, raising families, suffering tradgedies, all the while assuming that their government was... Sign in to see full entry.

LITTLE DID THEY KNOW

There was great unrest among the Middlings, for now they realized as far back as 2009 and nearly unknown to them, the Knowbs had GPS mapped all... every single home...in America. The few who had discovered it, or even suppected it, at the time were told that it was a tool to be used only in taking... Sign in to see full entry.

BIGGER FISH TO FRY

Who among us has not wished we could take back something we said? Is Wanda Sykes thinking just that after her bashing of Sarah Palin? I doubt it. I am not qualified nor am I interested in making judgements concerning that or the following incidents, but does free speech endorse outright bashing?... Sign in to see full entry.

IN THE HOT KANSAS WIND

You may remember from "War Ration Book Four" that I mentioned some of my memories of that time. Here is the ultimate: IN THE HOT KANSAS WIND You will forget, we were told, if we put his pictures away. I guess that could be so. But today, as his face peers from a frame So young, so long ago, I... Sign in to see full entry.

SHADES OF GREEN, A MOTHER'S DAY GIFT

SHADES OF GREEN One golden sunlit morning Flitting about the flowers Came bands of silver angels Pygmean, yet rich with powers To cloy the soul of woman, Cast a spell on all mankind With blossoms tenderly blushed, Arrangements of gems designed In colors magnificent, bearing Varigations of every hue,...

THIS IS A REQUIRED WEEKLY TEST

Are received political contributions income taxable? Are donations received for victory celebrations taxable? Are the above political contributions income tax deductible? If we could answer yes to the first two questions, would we be able to pay off the inherited deficit? Is there a government... Sign in to see full entry.

THE EXECUTION

Writing is not an option today, so you will be subjected to this whacky piece, written many years ago when I was trying every style of poetry I could think of. There won't be any more like this, I promise. THE EXECUTION Allegation has it that the accused is female A wretched and soulless bloodsucker... Sign in to see full entry.

Some argued that he won because the people WANTED more... Sign in to see full entry.

A SPRINKLING OF GOLD DUST

My troubles seem dim Far away and unreal When standing alone At the top of a hill With music of angels Soprano and clear Drifting on moonlight Proclaiming them near. My questions, unanswered Fade into night Washed free in the gleaming Silvery light. A ribbon of water Shimmers below While the stars... Sign in to see full entry.
