Best Tenacious Poems

Come tenacious muse
goddess within

Bid us bleed
nourishing words
rhythmically flowing
like a spring stream’s
soothing waters—

Let our pens canvas
ecstatic images
satisfying the senses
exploding into fulfillment

May the creative juices
likewise forever come
spewing warm wet awareness
upon calm waiting souls
seeking the glow of enlightenment

Grant the pregnant wombs of minds
to shed more light upon the...

This poem was written by me and my boyfriend Joshua
S-stands for what I wrote and J-stands for what he wrote.


S-They danced one night
to the music,
holding each other so close.
J-In his mind he knows
he loves her,
but he's trying hard not to boast.
S-He can't hide his feelings
whenever...

TENACIOUS BONDS
Stashed for years in between pages now yellow
Hordes of dry brown leaves slithered out, mellow

Filling air with balmy scent and familiar rustle
of distant shores, threw immigrant couple in disarray
A call from yonder rooted in lands faraway

When Seeking Answers,
Be Tenacious
By: Tom Wright
2/15/03


Into my psyche I delve for answers,
from which, oft, comes no retort.
I face thoughts, appearing as dancers,
gyrating aimlessly, without support.

Pirouetting in areas, of cobwebs most,
latent, in corners, content to lie.
Not inclined to probing their host,
I permit weighty questions to die

Take heart amid violent storms 
Triggered by others' ignorance;
For elephants ignore all worms 
Who coil under its titanic might. 
 
Swim on to that higher clime
Where giants dine and wine; 
For all closer shores promise 
No treat above common line. 

Strive for the luminous sun...

There was a Tilley Willy in her back
It was a seasoned one with pneumonia hack.

Sasha had been trying to shake it since lunch
It had grown up with the McMillian bunch.

        lost, drifted with the worst wayward winds,

            I never...

Thomas was a cat who was born into a charming life
Once upon a time he had a gorgeous amorous wife
She disappeared in the middle of a storm one day.
He did not wait around, knowing her need to play.

He was a sage old dude, who could...

A delicate daffodil tenaciously pushes her way through the snow. 
Her cousin Gladys is next to her, doing the same thing but faster.
I love spring she says, it is our time to beautify and petal show.
Gladys replied yes, we are both a tribute to our...

Today is your birthday my love 
You are in the mood to celebrate 

The moon shone brightly last night
Heralding beautiful sunshine this morning 

In appreciation of a paragon of beauty
Born some years ago 

Wonderfully and beautifully made
Enigmatic and tenacious 

Determined and loving 
Audacious and outspoken...
