Game...life? Some would say so:
up in the morning with a sprint--
my court or yours?
dribble a few ideas,
toss them toward the hoop--
my foul or yours
depends on who choose
the referees,
who is keeping score,
your stadium
or your in-laws'.
We build such
huge amphitheaters,
call ourselves Lions--
even Christians forget--
Cowboys and Indians--
what good is life
without an opponent
a foe?
tell that to those in the Peace Corps,
or those battling AIDS;
what need for a God
if not for a devil?
God forgive
our lack of love....

Tripped on Cupid
Chaim buzzes like a roving bee, "Hey, Honey!!"
Stumbling loving me..."I'll try saying it! Warm & funny":
Together, We delight in any 'Lil Thing,
Like eyeing Brookside Crocuses, purple heralds of Spring!
Can I give you a soothing back rub?
For I'm a wobbling wheel, you're my hub!!
My enamored emotional senses create the wobble,
Without you, Barbara, my life would be trouble!!
Per chance, let's dance... "Hula Hoop it",
I offer a fumble footed jig, Tripped on Cupid!

life, love, time, visionary,
On the outskirts of town, was our family store,
old gas pumps, and planks on the floor.
Many would shop with us each week,
usually on credit, and collecting was up to me.
Hoop Chesse we would slice, and sell it by the pound,
and the bologna we sold, was the best in town.
My dad, and grand-dad stayed busy all day,
charging, and pumping never getting much pay..
Still it was the greatest life a girl could have,
working all day with my two favorite dads.
Thanks Ron for bringing back these sweet memories.

family, inspirational love, love,
Quite a few years ago,
My life was fairly tough,
Wasn't sure what to do,
Just knew enough was enough.
Once filled with fear,
Unable to see a way out,
But I slowly regained my confidence,
Started removing my self doubt.
Jumped through every burning hoop,
Played the long hard game,
Made a promise to my boys and me,
We'd never ever go through the same.
I've fought through it all,
Nearly absolutely everything,
As my love for my boys,
Means more than anything.

age, analogy, anxiety, best friend, betrayal, hope, wisdom,
The day wisdom flies the coup,
Is the day we will need to rally round hope,
And hang on tight to love with more than just rope.
Who could blame wisdom if it decided to fly the coup,
When we don't bother to keep it in the loop,
As even lower we stoop.
I pray we can restore wisdom to the top of the heap,
Before it flies the coup,
With few in the group that can entice it back through the hoop.

hope, love, people, longing,
with slightly slanting eyes
and pouting purple lips,
her face can mesmerize,
prickle your fingertips;
sinuous, jet-black hair
down white, satin blouse flows;
skin of olive sheen there,
your hidden longing grows;
black leather pants gleaming,
hugging long, shapely legs,
a hoop-style, gold earring
in each ear your heart begs;
bracelet spirals allure,
rings on her fingers spin,
you're cupid-struck for sure
by a live mannequin !

Honor truth
Settles the heart
Displaced young
They do start
Basket ballers hoops
Drops the love parts
aMERICA cuts the net
Ballers shoots the ball
Broken leg blurry eyes
Once again shoots a shoot
Drops the ball in game and love
Loses the game moves on
