Wasted verses ushers quirky pathetic oeuvre

HENCE....herewith,
a post (traumatic)

stressed disordered poetic whim

to summarize fantasy

incorrigible lottery dreamer

paradise visage and eyes
zapping, swatting, and battling

a bulge with dollar signs

whets imagination with

Mega Million ticket bought

temptation for instant millions

human foible to reach

for elusive pot of gold

streak of universal desire
for potential wealth

overtakes rational self

with delusions of grandeur caught

allow, enable and provide flirtation
with fate to experience rich draught

envision emancipation from penury

a distant battle fought

expect the usual outcome
after next drawing

to yield monetary windfall naught

impossible mission

to banish tantalizing thought

and fully block and tackle

hard scrapple existence wrought.

When (countless moons ago)

progeny discovered girlhood insights,
I did wholeheartedly love and adore

who rushed into my arms

whenever back from trivial pursuits
at the core

when casually and nonchalantly

turn the key to open the front door

legal tender in such precious chronically
in short supply within family

catch bull at four

inviting me to play make believe

games being King Midas on the floor

boot budding young lady begotten girls

nearly squeezing out digested gore

akin to the finest crafted clock work

to sound the time of day

they danced and frolicked

like kittens or puppies

though at times I desired

them to bring newspaper

and slippers questioning

reciprocating sharing
silly concocted faux pa lore

at least another son or daughter more

at such urge (long silenced

of this ram by ewe gnu who)
did vehemently (cue

Katy Perry's pet lioness) to roar

enjoying revelry without keeping score

yet…creating memories

I will forever store.

Financial straits affected

our existence hand to mouth

all grandiose aspirations to succeed

in life frequently head south.

Creative healthy endeavors

find excitement and linguistic pleasure

thru the attempt

reasonably rhyming aligned

words that synchronize suitably

in poetic third eye blind

delivered by one blessed

angel (beating tom tom club) in disguise

redemption and salvation

considered thankful find

readers may espy hidden puns

within this rhyme lined

with challenges or commiserate

and complement via words of positive kind

although large sum of money

would be a dog send

to pry poem or prose from mind

deliberate semblance to communicate

and extract idea from cranial rind

loosening pent up tension to unwind

Much rather be cursed

with excess wealth

deliverance to life, liberty

never to rue by stealth

and mental health

depravity foreign concept

as is the obsolete word dealth;
A share dealt out; a portion or division.
