Transient Troubadour Traverses Terrestrial Terrain'Course as a grim teller of tall tales,
(albeit poetic) reasonable rhyming
quasi roundelay I readily admitted to feign
cuz, stringing words together with
pride and prejudice plus
sense and sensibility, jocularity,
and conformity I dissed deign
(spoiler alert) iamb, trochaic,
dactylic, and anapestic metrical reign
jest your ordinary garden variety
dollar short day late...

The TerrainIt is a beautiful terrain,
Sometimes we pretend everything is alright
Even if all good things seem to wane.
But yes, everything is alright.
Sometimes we make decisions,
But the results turn to become the mistakes we've been trying to avoid.
Sometimes we are ruled by perceptions,
And all we meet along...

Frozen TerrainStepping into the frozen terrain has left me breathless…
Incased in snow pillars stand tall above the sharp edges of snow drifts…
The scene is surreal in front of me…abandoned buildings awaiting for the cruel wind to wipe away what once was held dear…
Sunk deep in the...

The Tough Terrain and the Tender TouristLife is a journey, sometimes it's juicy, sometimes stormy,
the more we live, the more we walk inn gloom and glory
some focus on the storm and they end up coming last,
some keep loitering around and the end up on the ground.
Life is a journey, some...

In the Midst of the Terrain-Up, up, up
Is the atmospheric pressures rise
Innermost static zero-dynamic
Winds do cry
As all wing creatures fly
Up down in the midst of the terrain
Smoke fill island mountains
Brown, green, orange ridged volcano
Smooth trim valleys bronze and gold
Down, down, down
As all wing creatures fly
Up down in the midst of...

Unknown TerrainBrined voids surround my already bounded vision, throwing me headlong into confusion and disarray.
Hesitation in what may be the next correct course is what has landed me, and with much despair, in this current crisis of identity.
It is also what keeps me still....

Adventure In Terrain of KindnessKindness is a gift we get from heaven
Reaches us through humans
Or through things around us
Created by souls on earth with God’s grace.
While on a study adventure
One such act of kindness
Touched the deep niche of my heart
When around...

TerrainSee them coming down the street
Dancing with a passion that is very deep
Hands waving in the air
People cheering far and near
Voices shouting out of control
And the music is playing very loud
Chatter and laughter, cussing and swearing
Everything is wrapped up in the mix
Bang, bang, bang,...

Sweet TerrainConstantly down shifting
Riding the clutch
Can’t get higher than 2nd
Too much traffic keeping me from you
My mind is racing
If only these cars would
Stalled on this exchange
Thinking about getting to you
Taking this exit
No congestion here
GPS working well
I’ll be there quicker
Finally, shifting to 5th
Giving the clutch a rest
Driving...

Complain About Campaign and Terrain and MoreAlways could complain
About those running campaign
Wanting more champagne
From a tough terrain
When they would have much to gain
cannot stand the pain
From doing abstain
get wet while standing in rain
and did it in vane

While rugged terrains giving new lift...

The weakest of them all still iron

I Knew Yet Not This DeepI knew you hated me,I knew you despised me,
I knew you were my enemy,I mean my foe
I Knew you wanted me dead,buried O`engraved,
I Knew you were pretending yet I never knew it ran so deep.
I Knew who I am, I knew my whereabouts,
I knew my...
