Diversity Shadow
Aloha poets,
Seasonal shadows between black friday and cyber monday
inspire today's poetry. Enjoy!
Merger's Surge Lances Alliance
Competition extinction law goes into effect
Doctors and hospitals join collusion wreck
Allegiance to allergy as a cost-saving bonus
Stint on care now becomes new patient onus
Care organizations soon accountable to be
Writing regulations to govern new entity
Clinical cooperation be a benefit or bust?
Or new need to enforce old laws antitrust
Join forces to share old costs with saving
Earn government bonus as money raving
Joint venture alliances health care industry
Dominant health provider, insurer so busy
Future care insurer exercises market power
Hospital clinic doctor groups in ivory tower
Tight-knit organization of accountable care
Leashes competition to bark into the thin air
Fragmented systems harbor safe cooperation?
Joint ventures merge old laws chafe corporation
A future of petulant health or fraudulent billing?
Monopolizes hot, competitiveness cools chilling

Shadowy Reflection
Aloha poets,
Shadow of sparkle appears in reflection, inspires today's poetry. Enjoy!
Wilting Writing
Women grasp a lifeline all business workplace
Fight to ignore all but buckled without a trace
Viability a visibility as distant candle tantalize
To admit it needs a rescue only for your eyes
Losses on sour values seem just to drift off
Underdog is in talks with a bark and cough
Video makes us all veterans before our time
Sufficient firepower in smiles of the sublime
Inevitable sovereignty these women in sway
Forms of external assistance all had their say
Pivotal points engulf a nulling in voting out
Amidst regime grime, beauty wins the shout
Technology runs to lead the charge to push
Tea party with crumpets no bird in the bush
Hazards place separate, people hang shingle
The already cool step out strong and single
Counting it up from here may take a while
The science of winning starts with a smile
Wilting writing may be anything but loud
Women in politics, rights turn it up proud

Morning Tropical
Aloha poets,
Morning tropical design inspires today's poetry. Enjoy!
Year Long Yearling
Natural competitiveness yearns to be heard
Long half life of the game separates the herd
Exceptional independent, the love to compete
Monopoly tendency lays to wait at earth's feet
Depend on a network the business way
The book of brands flash their fancy say
Incumbent meander as dictator and such
Product value rises as most love it so much
Size and convenience the name of the game?
The bigger the faster the best for all the same?
Wills to innovate is true America song yearning
Inventions compete as our own yearlong yearling

The Nervousness
On Service Learning
College is always somewhere, taking the form of nervous thoughts, of ever graduating, of coming and going, but today nervousness hinges on the idea of service learning. Sometimes the nervousness makes a little announcement about my forty-three years (as if there were some time limit on learning), then goes quietly away. There are times when it attaches itself in the form of extra credit work, my college psychology class project at the state mental rehabilitation hospital, the place I now go quietly. On this particular day, the nervousness travels the whole trip with me, actually, with me and my classmate. We go for three hours every Thursday to assist women patients who are up for being discharged; we do their makeup, hair styling--whatever-- to raise their self-esteem to a state of noticeability (yes, maybe even nobility). This is the state where my nervousness normally subsides; we do our three hours--hugs all around--and leave.
I see the look on the security guard's face on my way out. He signals.
I get on the phone and squeeze tight. It's Raeanne, the hospital activities coordinator. She says,“I’m sorry to ask you, but can you do a special favor for me?"
“Sure, I’d be happy to.” I'm feeling extra relaxed having spent time with the ladies.
"Pat, we’re shorthanded here, and a male patient is asking to be taken to the store to buy some jeans. He’s insistent. Would you be able to take him to the Penney’s store in Sedro Woolley this afternoon?”
"Um."
"Sure you won’t mind?”
"Mind? Reanne, should I?”
“Well, we haven't had him outside the hospital, ever. I'd rather give him to you than trust him with our security."
"Penny's store in Sedro Woolley would mean undercover officers, they would have security," I think.
"The trip into town only takes about ten minutes. Don't you
believe we should let him do some things on his own?"
believe we should let him do some things on his own?"
"Oh, I'm sure there are many things he can do on his own. It's
only, well it's a little late in the day, and my home in Oak Harbor
drifts further as the sun sinks. My husband will be home by four,
yes, I think he said four."

yes, I think he said four."
“Well, we want our patients here to do things on their own, and it'll only take ten minutes, and, well I can't thank you enough.”
“Yes, the ten minutes that will take an hour," I think. This taxi cab will get him to town and plunk him safely back in the hospital in a matter of minutes, another satisfied customer from J.C. Penny. He won’t even know what hit him. Am I missing something here? Yes, I will come to my senses and do this for her.
“Great, I knew I had the right person,” Reanne says, "I'm so relieved."

Rainforest Industrial
Aloha poets,
Rainforest tastes and industrial design inspire today's poetry. Enjoy!Zero Luck
Code over-valued is a spending growth leader
Simply add a value to be a customer bleeder
Brainwashers like talking of only one thing
Ideologists add tongue twisters just for bling
A chance to be a hero if you go by the book
Meeting for muffins gets you a certain look
Chilean miners who jump out into the light
Say of minders, "We're no halloween fright"
Things that matter are always still right here
Chance to be a hero is no chance for a beer
Literature ponders history's fancy showing
Music and mystery keeps a heart glowing
Support an ideology with a ring of a bell
Keep a constant cool to maintain clientele
Babies, puppies, plucky children and kids
Strongly veiled virginal look offers its bids
Teasing is inappropriate when you're all in
Serious look is better than a tonic or a gin
A detonation mechanism or a happy duck?
Smiles on your face always trump zero luck
