Marginal Breaks

Marginal breaks

Is all it takes

When the lights are

Just glimmering

Off and on

The old ways of thinking

Can be left on the shelf

For what is to come

The Set Up

Posted on March 28, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

The set up

Was a half a million

For a stall

In a bathroom

But who knew

That is was all a great scheme

Filled with eclairs

And silly things

Apologies

Posted on March 28, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Apologies for the late thoughts

Apologies for the strong words

I was wrong

In the right sort of way

But still wrong

So I hope that forgiveness

Is a give-able things

That can be given

Away

When mistakes are made

A Later Date

Posted on March 27, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Not quite ready

To make a leap of faith

So I will postpone my hopes

To a much later date

From tomorrow

And from another day

Housing Inflation

Posted on March 27, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

Housing inflation

Takes over the nation

With one eye on growth

And one eye on stagnation

So here’s to another ten years

Of homeless runs

And empty shows

For us to learn to love

And learn to grow

I Want I Want

Posted on March 27, 2021 by acupofsongwriting

I want

I want

I must have

I must have

Everthing

On my list in life

I will pay the highest prices

Even though I shouldn’t

I want it all

The echoes that ring

Inside the heads

Of each of us

Is a questionable desire

That we should reconsider

The Boom

Posted on March 25, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

The boom

Began with a single

Sale

Upon the receipt of

Transaction

Came a flurry of action

Until my great aunt

Sold her house

For 1.5 millions dollars

A cardboard cutout

Has reached the top of the market

The Goodnight Show

Posted on March 25, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

The goodnight show

Starts at 11:59

When the words

Come out jumbled

Most of the time

So another day

Another year

Another groove

In the gear

Hold on to The Ones We Love

Posted on March 24, 2021 by acupofsongwriting
Reply

We must hold on to

Those we love

Not to hold back

But to hold up

In times of trouble

We lift the life in each other

To new heights together

So let’s be together in

This mess

We have created for

Each other

So to start a day
