I think it is time
to write, as before,
using all the lost words,
by my feet, on the floor.
Adjectives and verbs
with metaphors galore,
lay in shambled baskets,
against the room's exit door.

A sunny day,
with clouds nearby,
with mottled sky.
No rain this day,
so I stayed dry.

So many words, lie in slumber,
locked in my head,
like dumb and dumber.

Call it a lasso.
Call it a rope.
Call it a lariat.
Don't be a dope,
for a rope
is a line,
in naval words.
Don't be foolish
or feel absurd.

A ghost,
a wisp of white,
Winter air,
was what I noticed.
It was everywhere,
there was no sound,
a slight odor of decay.
I reached for my phone,
but the cloud vanished,
going quickly away.
Is this a new omen
of a Spirit set free
or just a message
saying the next ghost
will be me?

Will there be laughter
if there is no sound?
Will there be a forest,
if no trees are around?
Ridiculous questions, asked of me
by a lovely young lady,
who is so close to me.

Do you ever feel
stuck in the lurch,
even if you wanted,
you can't go to church.

A simple February muse,
is about the two's.
Who says they do?
Why, 2021, 21, 02.
Simple words, in kind
lost in my mind.

My verse is lame,
like a three legged dog.
It could be worse,
like a two legged frog.
A frog who would jump
and land on its face.
Oh what a failure;
a frog jumping disgrace.

A blanket of snow,
covers the ground.
The silence is golden,
with no noise around.
We are stuck at home,
while very much alive.
It is moments like this
when I want a four wheel drive.

I listen, with great aplomb.
Some one said I've written a bomb.
How to react, when you have heard,
the definition of an absurd word?
Respond gracefully, is what you do.
Not with anger, but a thank you.
Thanks for inputting your words, lame,
perhaps I will write a new refrain.

Talent comes and the talent
will soon formant,
if the skill you have
is a compliment.
Come you now, forlorn soul,
you can repent,
if the words your hear,
are heaven sent.
It matters not to me,
for this bent,
as long as you still
pay me your rent.
