Aiming For Just Under the Bullseye
A lack of a horse or a Harley had long held him back,
the curse of normalcy and no redeeming truck.
Some said he held himself back
others shrugged
knowing he had already lost a race

Aiming For 100
Aiming for 100 my odds are slim
My lights have already started to dim
Walking with a cane
Using half my brain
Walk on two of my three front limbs

Aiming At the Common Good
In life,
Love ought to be, our motivation
Humanity, our concern
God, our inspiration
If
We wish a better world to build,
Everything we think, say, or do
Should be aiming at the common
Good!

Aiming At the Zenith
L-et Sunday beacon warm
Y-our soul and your heart;
K-iss the chill goodbye,
A-s the raindrops depart.

R-each the cloud underneath;
T-wenty-sixth noon February
I-s aiming at the

Aiming For the Green
Spring-formed bunch of fresh green mangoes
Hanging in joy from packed green thick nodes
She aims a stone at one green end
It misses and hits her new boyfriend
The green garden bursts into broad grin laughter
He stops speaking to her again after…

Instead he thought always in the present
Once this boy grew up he became wonderer who loved life
He still lived in the present
He still did not grow out of

Aiming To High
I went in search of a maiden fair
And saw a vision standing there
But I knew as I held her in my stare
For me to have a future with her
I should be twenty years younger
And her standards be much lower
