We desire to be successful
remain guided by dream of win
but fail to see the truth stressful
hiding with grin.
We try to follow dream without
knowing exactly what we want;
fact it’s not easy to stand out,
Its not for jaunt.
One needs vision, goals, attitude
ambition, motivation, trust,
grit, tenacity to improve
also needs thrust.
If known to win what to harness
may be we would not have started.

PENSEE Poetry Form
Fate's Footfalls
'Crimson Tides of the Underverse'
Ladders we climb, greasing the grime, in mountains of malignant moral
Committing our crime, with rhythm and rhyme, impending the immoral
Foreshadowing fates, we open the gates, arming the quantizing quarrel
Creation creates, sad sorrow awaits, within the ambient Adonic auroral
Beyond the tides, where love divides, the moonlit metaphorical shores
Decision decides, our confusion confides, the embryonal egg explores
The minstrels play, behind the floral bouquet, the pandemonium pours
Trampled by truth, egotistical youth, the wordsmith weathers the wars
Silent screams, within decompositional dreams, a dramaturgical destiny
Truth or dare, we all shall bear, the crippling crosses of effusive entropy
Eyes that bleed, now take heed, for who is your friend or emulous enemy
Fissiparous fate, a harbinger of hate, providing a pandemic penal penalty.

A New Year
Writing poems of rhyme and free verse
poetry with joy and heart and loving and vision
I shall write well, and post them on Poetry Soup I'll be
a wordsmith of alliteration, adonic, allusion, and aubade
and all of this will be my emotional release and magical
desire along with truly pursuing more outlets of
poetry publications and friendships too
with my new friends on PS
I’ll be a real poet
Forever
