Now I have been forced into this position,
I hate having to change my plan of action.
Left to start this ball rolling to gain traction.
This demeanor so commonly full of poise,
I detest the use of superfluous noise.
The rest of my arsenal surely deploys.
My reflection slowly begins splintering
as indignant skin succumbs to blistering.
What I’m repeating is not registering.
Yanking at my emotions only to see
when to pull hard or proceed delicately.
I’m starting to feel you are here to test me.
Your image once clicked initiates rage bait
to rush out of control I can’t moderate.
I wish I had walked away, now it’s too late.
blood sweat and tears leave
no stone unturned move heaven
and earth pull your weight
go to great lengths make
a supreme effort bust a
gut and go all out
give it everything
you’ve got burning desire
step up to the plate
fire in the belly
spur on drive someone get the
ball rolling take pains
take the bull by the
horns jump on the bandwagon
and pull your socks up
eager beaver stay
the course give it your all throw
yourself into it
keep your eye on the
prize light a fire underneath and
pull out all the stops
roll up your sleeves bite
the bullet and pushing the
envelope spur on
How does a man meet a gorgeous woman
So it doesn't seem you're out on the make
If she smiles, that gets the the old ball rolling
Take it slow with each step you take
Start with talking about the fun you're having
Then ask her if she's having fun too
Imagine your arms wrapped around this beauty
And kissing this sweet babaloo
Duck if she tries to hit you with a chair
And screams bloody murder out loud
Probably misread this sweet lassie's signals
Best to just disappear in the crowd
Problem arises if she follows you home
Yelling some very naughty words
Pretend you don't know this very strange lady
As her blows make your vision blurred
No one promised success the first try
Eventually you ARE gonna hit pay dirt
You'll wonder forever why it took so long
As she coyly takes off her skirt!!!
Summer's parade
Is on its way.
Cirrus pennons
At the forefront
As high skied, and of their shape
Foreshow who celebrate
With kites that day.
Best procession!
Fun's; unrestrained!
Life, the benign
Which radiates
In sync with bouncy posture
And a ball-rolling gesture
Our part. - you're gained!
Dream
Swim through
Cream the treats
And follow keenly
The stream
Of the trying glue
Making up awesome beats
Of sounds filed serenely
Sleep
Don't hesitate
To chill down
Today's gladden heart
So deep
Of driving memories state
Within-out the colorful town
That makes celebration an art
Oh she is but a simple leaf
Withering off its branch
Having a new apt hope
For the coming bliss
Upon loamy soil
To live on and
Never die
Unjust!
In brief
If soil stanch
No room for rope
Target rather go amiss
And to the source shall recoil
Its functionality to the very grand
Set in fear to never again break the tie
For such memory ever barely live in dust
The world:- of your life's infernal gyration
Shall forever be a dream off consummation
Amen ??
Nothing was found when they let out the two hounds
They went running after her charging and chasing
frothing abound
Like a ball rolling on the ground was Ms. Round
She made a loud sound and was caught and bound
She kicked the gravel and began to unravel all wound
And as she frowned her hat fell off her crown
Out tumbled lots of pounds that built quite a mound
Made to sit out all day under a very hot sun
As she roasted in the heat and browned
Crying and screaming out loud, in her tears she
drowned!

While any movement
May remain unseen,
There's great potential
That can intervene.
From a mild breeze
To caress and heal.
To the mightiest hurricane,
That won't appeal.
Its inertial energy shows
Strength by the root,
Yet often overcome
By another's pursuit.
This cause is seldom visible
Through the noise all about.
Though its effect may shatter,
What's leftover to doubt.
When we see some resistance,
Friction stands by,
As the spark to that fire,
Has answered the why.
Where the minute can escape,
Our mind and our sight,
Every second has an impact,
That gives in to the light.
Just as intolerance and ignorance
Brews solely to agitate,
Serving up that cold dish,
For those hungry to hate.
Hence, this effort highlights
The smallest of acts.
That gets the ball rolling,
To those much bigger facts.
Don't like height.
Don't like sight.
Hate size .
Back ,front and thighs .
Face is masqueraded .
Original features are faded.
See her walking ,can't tell if she is coming or going.
Like a ball rolling .
Can't find a name .
Nor can tell ,is it an alien a man or a dame .

Roll the Dice
( get the ball rolling )
Pick them at random, the best way to start.
The very young or very old are easiest to part,
With the info you need to get the ball rolling.
You scare them at first and then start cajoling.
By gaining their trust and becoming their friend,
You'll get access to funds and accounts without end.
Tell them their computer's been hacked by a scammer,
Or they owe for back taxes, will be locked in the slammer;
But you're there to help and make everything right.
For a small monthly fee it will be alright.
Once you get those numbers then you're home free,
Then it's pay day already for you and for me.
Shyness is a Disease
It happens without warning,No symptoms,No signs.
I wish it were something i could control!.
It always seems to stop me dead in my tracks,Unable to put words together,
I feel fear seeming to be unsure of saying the wrong thing or sounding silly or to be taken the wrong way.
Once the conversations starts to relax and starts to flow the fear subsides.
But i always have trouble starting the ball rolling,this is why i agree shyness is a disease as a cure is always close at hand in the way of a friendly hello or the initiative of others breaking the ice for me.
Shyness is a disease.

Caution to the wind, opens doors, unseen by careful eyes. The greatest minds achieve by leaps of faith;
knowing progress hides in the unseen void.
Doing the black-hole dive can save a stagnating
marble in space; on the other side of the gaping door,
a lion waits to devour the meal,
that’s tossed through.
Eyes pop open when the fangs gleam.
Open eyes see possibilities that the closed, do not.
A blind faith leap, calms the hunger pains and
opened eyes learn from everyone’s mistakes;
lending hope to a world trapped by fear.
Fear is a rusty ball, rolling, crushing all life and
blind faith, is the wall that can stop it.
Leap into the void;
quantum architects can build miracles of their own.
I
got
Timed out
and I shot
no goals of mine last
year and here you have arrived so
soon, whistling aloud the start of the New Year giving
time to head out and set the ball rolling and suspend lamenting about lost Goals.
With renewed hope, I enter to have a field day in this Game of Life, Knowing fully
that I may lose in my tackle or may even Win
if my shoot gets the desired goal,
When in this spirit
I don't play,
call this
a
foul.

There are but two questions to answer, my friend.
Is the ball rolling? And, was it worth it in the end?
Anything other than that is strictly called chatter.
The beginning and the end are the only things that matter.
Between Alpha and Omega is what we call "Life."
We can only hope that we lived it right.
Between Alpha and Omega is where opinions dwell.
The lies, drama, and many forms of hell.
Its our only controllable, God-Given space.
So, we should ensure we make it a special place.
No one knows when Omega will come calling.
But, when Alpha sets you free make sure you go All-In.
