Best Make Headway Poems

I hear your tiny fingers shuffle
against the textured walls, trying
to feel for a crack to slide into 
and hide from the fact that you are 
still too small to make big changes.

It is the same
for many, for most, that can not move
mountains or make headway...

Criminal reform - we think of those who deserve a second chance or are caught in a system where they can never make headway, or those who were imprisoned unfairly. But in today’s economy, we let loose, like a violent dam set on destruction, the...

Come my love, let us dream and fly away to France.
C’est la vie when night time falls and déjà vu grows strong.
Let us risk reality and dream the whole night long.
Fantasies, come twirl and dance then, bring us sweet romance.
Joi de vivre perchance askance, let...

Ugh, Why Must The Missus Vacuum At The Crack Of Dawn?
(circa: early December 27, 2018 morning)

There appears to be a
virulent (possibly deadly) strain
of housekeeping virus
Hoover ring in the air
asymptomatic tentatively linked to rein
deer droppings (micro-organisms) blare

ring and trumpeting beyond
the threshold to humans, though plain
lee send...

I am a teacher

Eager beaver

Full of beans

I build bridges

And burn the candle at both ends

I am a teacher

Cap in hand

Full of the milk of human kindness

I fight tooth and nail

To make my pupils see reason

I am a teacher

As hard as nails

Face like thunder

I resent cheap...

Corruption curse spreading fast
Offset merit driven goals
Good turned bad in a flash
Yield black money to ache our souls.
Its evil tangles we embrace 
As it decays reality
And fashions misery
Disgust and falsehood we must face.
It crafts income disparity
The rich become richer
And the poor become poorer
The uncorrupt lose...

Blue as the ocean,
Deep they penetrate.
Searching for the truth behind the iris.
The past is a reliance, but not the end.

A swimmer he must be.
To weather my storms within.
Torrents of rain and massive waves I send with 
thoughts.

To let go and let it be is the...

To be hopeful is to always believe,
To have faith and to not disbelieve,
To wont more from life than is given,
To strive for success to be driven,
To be hopeless is to give up the fight,
To extinguish that bright sparkling light,
It’s so easy to just lay down,...

The nagging,
The pushing,
The constant prodding.

You try,
You work,
You make headway,

But it's ignored,
It's not enough,
It's never enough.

You become bitter,
You're angry,
You become morose.

Your will is strong,
You've done your best,
You're clearing hurdles,

But you aren't fast enough,
You aren't strong enough,
YOU are not enough.

The nagging is back,
The fault finding is back,
The...

One Month Into Winter 2019 Elapsed Here...

Within Perkiomen Valley, Pennsylvania,
thus far marginal snowfall
yet...the Furies of old man winter
huffs and puffs...with gall
unable make headway

against invisible firewall
shielding this area 
of the keystone state haul
in tandem with the spirit 
of Saint Peter, Paul

and Mary (Southeastern -
tri county (also)
encompassing...

I kept drifting, drifting, drifting, I wasn’t sure where I was going but I kept drifting. The winds set in my back spinning around my new frock and I kept drifting.

 I kept focusing ahead of me hoping to find some company but the empty...

Genuine Apologia Bequeathed...
Kickstarting Expungement Father Incurred

Within a sea futility aye wallow
riptides exemplifies sorrows
drowning me into undertow
bitter aftertaste hogties ability
to make headway, and shuck off tow

warring internal strife at this stage
of my life mein kampf,
a failed one man show
so many instances, I didst wade
into abortive oarless...

As the northern winds briskly blow
headlong,I make headway
blinded destination,
as teary eyed reddened....faces
the sharpness stings as glass shards

There is no charted course,on this adventure
as folly has lost it's lustre
driven by a sense of madness
clearing the mind as a cloudless sky
will overwhelm soon enough

The constant battering and...

Rather than contact tech savvy Macbook Pro technician

Computer technology a dog send
boot also a source of woe,
cuz prohibitive costs charged by technicians
to troubleshoot Macbook Pro
just recently sought out
self teaching methodology
perhaps oddly enough
even tapping into pantomime lessons
(mastering "art of silence"
such as the estimable Marcel Marceau)

found yours truly...

A beacon so true
Brigand beyond the blue
A harbinger, a clue
Voice with hope to imbue

A brighter, hopeful day
A light to make headway
A guide; a mainstay
To illuminate my pathway

A teacher to instruct in mundane activities
A politician to educate on urbane civilities
A preacher to warn of vice and...
