DEVIANCE

No one is alike, therefore we all diverge
doing
following
our own souls, though some hold back, others will splurge
acting
reacting
in obtuse ways of many, good can emerge
talking
walking
the line for good souls, so happiness can surge
taking
giving
from the heart, so the tree of life can converge
resting
running
when the time is right, for all regrets to purge
watching
stopping
just in time when tragedy is on the verge
asking
making
the best of situations, shunning the scourge
twisting
shaping
the future for young people, talking their views
listening
hearing
what others say, collaborating on news
darkness
daylight
shadows hide the demons, the turn of the screws
breaking
ruining
the family's plans, everyone has the blues
saving
winning
the lottery, taking an expensive cruise
losing
sacrificing
to make ends meet, so you do not blow a fuse
sinking
depending
on close friends and family, no time to snooze
falling
picking
yourself up, then watching others when they lose
turning
molding
a creation on a wheel, watching how it flows
sowing
growing
flowers in the yard, then maintaining the rows
hiding
isolating
yourself from others, running with the hobos
warriors
living
on the streets, sleeping in tents, life in the throes
rising
spending
time recuperating, learning from the pros
musing
meditating
to be spiritual, so the cosmos knows
selling
promoting
a product, choosing the approach with elbows
using
abusing
those around you, while hoping that the hate grows
learning
yearning
for the good life, resting in the candlelight
working
persevering
to get ahead, to get into the spotlight
relaxing
basking
in the sunshine, getting tanned in the daylight
plowing
farming
the land, working long hours into the twilight
designing
building
structures that draw attention, eyes to excite
painting
showing
the artistic side, for the heart to ignite
mixing
mastering
music for bands, dancing to raindrops at night
sleeping
sensing
the path to enlightenment, deviant light.

CURVES IN THE ROAD

Life is a series of twists and turns, leaning around curves
racing
pacing
yourself, enjoying the ride, especially on wilder swerves
spinning
yearning
for high speeds, ones that will put a real strain on frazzled nerves
chasing
speeding
down the highway of life, taking chances with tight reserves
driving
shifting
gears in transit, making love on an overpass as pervs
relaxing
sitting
back, letting the landscape pass you by, winds of change observes
riding
loving
the wind in your hair, time gets away, cosmic preserves
falling
picking
yourself up, lessons learned from nature, love and peace deserves
struggling
overcoming
the stresses of life, taking hurdles like curves in the stretch
twisting
going
round the bend, laughing, puking from the stresses like a retch
sliding
careening
round sharp curves, feeling like you are soaring in the homestretch
freeways
byways
heads in the clouds, sailing along like gods riding a ketch
asphalt
concrete
roads can break apart, on the curves creating a tight etch
undulating
following
the contours of mountainous highways, drawing out the kvetch
slewing
straightening
curves on the road, making a less complicated outstretch
wavy
serpentine
roadways bring minds into dizzy spells, eyes seeing a glitch
journeys
riverbanks
give a view of nature, rapids flowing o'er rocky shoals
banking
angling
down a steep, declining roadway, riding out rock and rolls
byroads
sightseeing
on vacations, watching out for roadwork and big potholes
winding
narrow
roadways test driving skills, going out on causeway patrols
rambling
veering
off and on the roadway, teasing the passengers, old souls
taking
arteries
racing the clock, weaving through traffic like you know keyholes
uphill
downhill
taking the curves with grace and speed, passing, the road extols
pressing
pedal
with sound mettle, taking hard curves, watching the hilltop knolls.

PIRATES AND WENCHES

Galleons being captured by pirates on the high seas
laughing
drinking
grog, enjoying adventures, wenches busy as bees
feasting
tasting
lovely girls lips, wanton for their brash pirates to please
soaring
sailing
from east to west, the seven seas, haunting ships to seize
testing
making
love to wenches who cook and clean, able to appease
marauding
brigands
taking what they want, cursing mates, eating bread and cheese
flagons
splashing
grog on tables, Davy Jones drinking for his soul's reprise
dancing
singing
songs of the seas, wenches wanting to do a striptease
scalawags
maritime
laws be damned, brawling for wenches, having a good time
drunkards
damsels
in distress, pirates save wenches, their wild paradigm
buccaneers
swashbuckling
gangsters making prey of too nice folks, turning to grime
seafaring
rebels
take lovers with like wickedness, their partners in crime
laddies
strumpets
running free and wild, taking, giving way their last dime
mermaids
nymphets
enticing pirates, making love wild and free, sublime
minxes
hearties
partying and drinking, getting high most anytime
cronies
ruffians
making fun of others, trying to stay in their prime
countesses
bacchanals
do not mix well, someone always gets upset, queasy
minstrels
noblewomen
get stolen away by pirates, making them dizzy
highjacking
ransoming
stolen gold, belongings, being chased by the greedy
scruffy
crewmen
hauling up the sails, charting a course, winds blow breezy
raiders
pillagers
grabbing as they go, showing no care for the treaty
vessels
looters
firing on government ships, feeling it their duty
schooners
privateers
taking booty, pirates with their wenches get sleazy
treasures
predators
out for looting ships on the high seas, getting freaky
princesses
harping
at the pirates, wenches calling them names, then laughing
captors
abductors
holding money mongers in brigs, they hear waves splashing
ragamuffins
peasants
get spooked by pirates, run away, screaming and gnashing
lusting
conniving
wenches who captivate pirates get a tongue lashing
muggers
landlubbers
admire the pirates and their wenches, they are gasping
saucy
coquettish
wenches entice pirates, to get laid, their tongues lapping
dangers
rocky
shoals can break apart a ship, while the crew is chatting
embracing
haunted
schooners invite the sea chase, on rocky shoals crashing.
