Spur On the Black Horse
Spur on the black horse,
for the cliff is near.
The hooves hammer sand 
into dust, and the dust devils
blind the perilous path.
Loosen the reins, and
kick the horse faster,
as he heads into hell.

The passing tombstones 
bear glorious epitaphs
that are not seen, as the
earth splits and grinds
into ruin...

A Freestyle Spur of the Moment Thing
Dazed n confused
Not knowing how to help if its not spoken of too
Expressing is like a suggestion of how deep its roots
Dazed n confused 
Not knowing how to help if rooted out too
Just feeling bruised
n stripped arms split blood drips n thrown in a hole...

Spur
SPUR

Fed up when I get up already rested up 
I am sped up tear this tread up to shred up
I’m choking you still smoking

Laughing at me as I am being all I can be
Was not in the Army just getting...

Economy On To Spur

With many people we may have to confer;
So that on our economy are able to spur;
Together work,
Including clerk,
But both offense and defense must concur.

A Scratchy Spur
A Scratchy Spur

Cat's in garage completely loading cattle
With big box in a constant, consistent battle
And another view of him I just did catch
While he was going scratch, scratch, scratch.

Then after that next noise I did hear
Was eating food being around and near
This time there was...

Sand Spur, Brrr and Only Kidding
Sand Spur Ruined Reunion

Things outside so often seem to occur
Like present of a protruding sand spur
Which I want to pull out and discard
Before they completely cover the whole yard.

Things that traumatically happen can be true;
What started out as a single are only a few
From soil...

At the Spur of the Moment
At the spur of the moment,
Rain fell down like choreography
In a synchronized fashion
The lightning lit up my heart
Like an X-Ray
You could see my bones
The bits begging to be broken
The thunder clapped like the audience
That watches us all on our ride through life
And I ran in...

Spur of the Moment
When you plan something spur of the moment,
At first you feel proud and in charge,
But the longer you think,
It will end in a blink;
Then the doubts stumble in and loom large.

I need time to mull over my choices,
Possibilities I can assess,
Weighing good points and bad,
What...

Trump Had a Bone Spur
Trump Had a Bone Spur

Obviously odd things about Trump occur;
Can you imagine him having a bone spur,
As he feared,
Disappeared,
But still military  did not have to endure.

Premium Member Spur of the Moment Spat
When the bluster and champion of words bleeds
from the flue,
quite unintentionally, with seeds…

The whirlwind of contrast and opposing creeds
turns one blue,
when the bluster and champion of words bleeds.

Spur of the moment spat of dandelion weeds
without a clue,
quite unintentionally with seeds.

A test dummy with mouth and...

Spur Of The Moment
I remember when I got mad at you.
You asked me about how I changed from back then,
I said I toned it down rather than take it like that.
We should of got married then.
Now we have these meetings we have to go through.
If they could see...
