Tortoise and the Hare: NEW Poetic Format COMPLETED
Tortoise looked, couldn't see, hare disappeared.
Only him, tortoise win, hare reappeared.
the sportsmanship that
honesty competes often
eludes the cheaters
The Word of Life is joy everlasting.
In the game of life, we win, lose, and die,
patterns reasoning; be glad we're living.
Living for the trice, losers don't comply,
trifles our distractions are ankle-deep.
Count on time won't add up you'll meet

[Fiction Out West]
A mining town, among others, had been shut down the longest. Long before the mines closed, and all the towns followed. As the story goes; one night, a 10-year-old boy walks into a bar looking for his barmaid mom, and amid some bruhaha, he's accidentally shot dead. Enraged and unwilling to settle down,

Aspiring Alliteration Completed 2-28-23
All answers affect aspirations
By belittling bygone barbarizations
Constantly criticizing correlations
Defined dumbfounded dictations
Edicts evaporate everyone's expectations
Foregone frustrations failed flirtations
Gone great grace giving generations
Harmonies have harmonious hesitations
Impotence influences indignations
Justified judicious justifications
Killing kaputz keratinizations
Living life lonely leaves lacerations
My muse motivated monumental mutations
Nonsense needed no normalizations
Offended overintellectualizations
Past promises purely placations
Questioning quarreling quotations
Resisting relevant restifications
Sentient solutions solve segregations
Total trust triumphs trepidations
Utopias

Have You Completed Anything Yet
She had talked her uncle into being her money patron at last.
He encouraged her to purchase skeins of yarn; it was a blast!
She kept telling him that she was making something for him.
She would have one idea, then go off on another whim.
Have you finished anything? He asked her after sixteen years.
That she was only

Life Is Like Blank Paper To Be Completed
The paper in essence
it's white and so
desires stay...
but life
cannot stay i
White...
life is similar to
justice: must
be provoked...
life in principle
summarizes:
white paper that needs
to be filled...
life is a book
that we write
every day...
The longer we live,
The most we fulfill
the role of life...
and she thanks for
live, for being

(Nemesis) - Part One
O'lord of blight dare thee to now abide
Leaving thy abode to earthen realm ride
As punisher with dark universal might
As grief bearer, humanity to smite!
Dar'est thee enter, after I so yield
Sheathed my sword, tossed away my shield
I that in sorrow abandoned battlefields
Seeking love, sweet peace and love's

Remorse Completed Course
Remorse Completed Course
What we always remembered about remorse,
Is when it ran and had completed its course;
Over and done,
Under the sun;
Forgot from where and what was the source.

His Wheel Completed Her Ride
His wheel completed her ride
His Ferris wheel whistle blew at her carousel bristle
sending a shrivel as his eyes bore into hers and tickle
On playground of love was biggest attraction from above
his hands coveting his little dove to his fancy thereof
She jumped on his ride taking a spin with a big happy grin
the hot breeze

The Poem That Has Not Been Completed Yet
I sit and wish to write a poem
That has not been written yet,
Meanwhile a storm rises
And gets amok in the chest
A boat of words I set ready
To sail over the risen sea
Busy is the mind
And somber is the mood
With a paper in hand
And pen in the mouth
I go straight to another kingdom
To another wonderful place
There

The Circle Is Completed
Sharon was incredible
Her life was filled with joy
Her laughter habit forming
Her bad news shared with brefity
It wasn't time to mourn or feel sorry for herself
It was time to fill remaining time with more laughter
She was told 3 months and she laughed.
Her favorite saying was "I'll show you
Four months passed
Office visited
Hands on chin and

Facing one's mortality isn't easy.
Would death be better hear ringtone swiftly,
unexpectedly_ pass from life breezy
to eternal life, sustainable upward drift.
Or be granted extended life on earth.
Maybe through simple living great deed do.
Book about life's problems solved_ could birth.
Review life, help youth before bid adieu.
No way would want to linger; a problem
