Outlier

 

A morning lie in

Telling more lies to myself

A real outlier 

Contour

 

News dazzle design

Camouflage facts instead of

Smooth contour of truth

Muck

 

Two foot jump in muck

So deep frog found itself stuck

Now needs a toad truck

Raw

 

raw emotions are

like raw data and raw books

need to cook them first

Bluff

 

enormity is

established after two steps

off the bluff of time

Flurry

 

I never confuse

A flurry of actions with

Productivity 

Mist

 

Political speak

Two geese passing in the mist

A distant honking

Inspire

 

ingredients bought

for big recipe inspire

until they expire

Cover

 

evergreen towers

over my old family home

cover story told

a long ago Christmas tree

was planted there and took root

Slurp

 

A frog on a log

Obsess on a midair fly

Ribbit Ribbit (slurp)

Domino

 

the world continues

Day out for the boy

Overcoat over the coat

Two layers of joy

Slipstream

 

Life in the jetstream

Cherish

 

Seize the day as one

Couch cushion trenches

A fort of fluffy pillows

Turn off the TV

Tabernacle of TruthHold

During siege on decency 

Blackbird

 

My trusty blackbird

Biscuit tied to bush nearby

Dear to me, oh my

Understand

 

Strive to overstand

While trying to understand

Leads to understood

Liberation

 

One more on my tab

A round of liberation

Last call for freedom

one person's border

is another person's brink

Drought

 

worldwide levels of

the milk of human kindness

is in red flag drought

Violet

 

The cosmic catfish

Turned violet under it's log

Trouble was afin

Bounce

 

The glide in my stride

The cut in my strut told all

My next bounce was nigh

Debt

Media portrays 

Lifestyle goals to entrap you 

In a web of debt

Argue

 

Entrails have spoken

You cannot argue with them

Auguries broken

Heart on Fir

 

With my heart on Fir

Woke with an oak in my head

Pulled up my Birches

Kissed my dear Maple goodbye

Undid the door Larch and left

Merchant

 

No one's a buyer

Yet everyone's a merchant

Selling vaporware

Group

 

Seems like yesterday

Had a group the geezer griped

To no one but he
