Baseball is not a struggling momentum,
but the spatial awareness of fortitude,
a narrative of pauses where beauty thrives
in the space between pitch and swing,
a jade diamond shaped from soil,
where time effectively stands still.
Within the timeless design of opportunities
lies the idyllic beauty of stretched promises,
flourishing in the arena of action -
the metrical smack of a ball hitting the leather
and the ripple of murmur in the stadium.
There is a profound modesty entwined
with the tapestry of the beautiful sport
that reflects the resolute endeavor of resilience,
adorned by the cyclic rhythm of return to home,
the delightful journey ending where it begins.

If you want to go into the air,
there is no right way to get there.
While birds may choose to take flight,
a lizard doing push ups might
effectively double his height.
Words sweeten her ears attentively right;
Pen twisted her take effectively bright-
To write heart's choice off measure,
When tongue could bring on pleasure...
Brighten up wandering eyes' search cum weird night.
What is it really all about?
this season at the end of the year
it feels so false and lacking
one word that's so evident is insincere
The reason for the season
has been missed out on the whole
as most folk feed themselves
more interested in getting their goal
An attitude of gratitude is amiss
asking more, what am I going to get?
a real change of heart is required
seeking to give makes a good effect
If more of us thought of others
before considering just little old me
we could make this world a lot better
bringing smiley faces for all to see
Then we could all have joy abounding
during this jolly old Christmas time
making it effectively marvellous
so that ink would turn into rhyme!
Time was designed by the mind,
You have defined it the whole time,
I'm here to remind you,
That rewinding is true,
Using the future you,
Gleaning from what you went through.
Keeping true to your experience,
You catch a glance of the past,
Blast into your present,
A gift in disguise,
As you grow wiser in chance meetings.
You greeting you,
Fleeting moments,
Events flow through currents,
Currently based on your perception,
A conception of perspective.
Interacting with the collective,
Effectively seeing,
The truth of your being,
Creating this whole thing,
Time is a string,
Attaching you to this dimension.
Traveling lesson after lesson,
As life keeps progressing,
Memories holding blessings,
As feelings fill the space,
Chasing nostalgia,
Staging your presence,
As your essence travels through,
The infinite nature within you.
I'm a dependant too
Going through intellectual problems too
Hardwork is the key to success??Year that's true
Vulnerability is the so called'pull down syndrome.'
I strive not to compete but to be strong
Unluckily everything goes wrong
I also need clean water just like her
I also need motivation to contribute to national development
Effectively
I'm climbing to the top please don't shake the ladder
As hardwork is the best method to avoid bright future shatter
I'm struggling because nothing comes on the silver platter
Not only Keep girls in school but also boys
The boychild is also vulnerable
The boy child has vivid dreams to fulfill too
Under same circumstances all go through
The boy child weeps for support too
Oh, my gosh, I’m freaking and feel such dread.
What the hay is this nonsense on my head?
I can’t go to work, can't enter the office!
I will be seen, visible to peers and bosses,
be the fool who provided entertainment gossip.
God, please, send help, I am stress-nauseous.
I do not care about appearing faultless,
but I'd rather errantly tuck a dress in my hose
and walk through the office cluelessly exposed
than have everyone think this is what I choose.
I wonder if I should call in with a case of ugly,
hire someone to gently, but effectively mug me?
Perhaps I'll get pulled and cuffed on the roadside
for publicly exposing the ugliest hair ever dyed.
Shame a wig class wasn't at business school:
"How to Avoid Looking Like the Office Fool."
I look like a horrified, horror movie hostess.
Even my own mirror is refusing to focus.
Here I am, paler than even fresh new snow,
with midnight black hair grooving to and fro.
My very first dye and, oh my, I could just die!
Box said ‘brown’, now I'm so down, I might cry.
Universe, please – send a natural disaster,
nothing fatal, it's just one repair day I’m after.
Yes, indeed we have a new Pope.
I wonder, however, if we have a new hope.
As a matter of facts, we have two popes:
One is active and the other is passive,
Which means that one is inactive,
The latter was a hell of a man who shocked: folks,
Foes, rivals, parishioners and cardinals,
By resigning his post,
By becoming a different host.
He is still a holy man, in accordance to the latest polls,
A courageous priest, who reminds us,
That man is immortal and fallible.
Pope Benedict is enjoying his golden hiatus,
His retirement in a humanely divine castle.
I don't know much about the new one.
I can only hope that he is someone,
Who's at least similar or equal,
To the former, who was wise and simple.
May God bless his soul,
‘Cause he was able to realize
That he was becoming unable
To lead effectively, and to prioritize.
As a matter of facts, habemus duo popes,
Yes, indeed, habemus duo pontifices.

For those who liberate the caged bird,
They also liberate themselves.
Individuals who instigate conflict for,
Monetary benefits will ultimately undergo reformation in due course.
History often repeats itself many times,
Yet some individuals fail to heed their warnings.
The Great Wall of China, was damaged by workers
As they were trying to make shortcuts to get to the other side.
The Trojan Horse was constructed with strategic thinking.
Similarly, the Berlin Wall was built as a barrier.
Today marks a competitive phase between
Temu and Shein are notable entities in the clothing industry.
It remains to be seen if they will address the challenges and opportunities within the sector effectively.
The term "Tariff" has become familiar to me over the past few months.
Shall we worry about them; shall we give in? shall we seek solutions?
Only divine wisdom can guide us during challenging times.
For those who liberate the caged bird,
They also liberate themselves.
Wake
The ever present enemy
Overbearing and oppressively
Shadowing expectantly
As forethought always secondly
Two minds hang suspended be
Interrupting thoughtlessly
Relentless and attentively
Aressting so effectively
Contented is left restlessly
Thrashed into docility
Numbing the auxiliary
Concerning such complacency
Overwhelming this tranquillity
Resolute in the obscurity
Abstracting absurdity
With Orchestrated entropy
Worn out by pacificity
Sleep
Between the blades of dewy grass
Mingle the particles of fresh dust
Their colour bleached to grey.
A bird descends and pecks for food,
Finding nothing it ascends today
Climbs higher than the trees, away.
Weeks go by without a soul
Tending the ever growing grass.
I chose that tranquil spot
For them to be blended in the soil
That many years before received
The bleached grey dust of her lover.
The years will effectively combine
Them in the soils embrace and then
She will be lost, untraceable,
Indistinguishable, shall become one.
My parent's will be done.

"Smelling The Roses"
What if oxygen
Is a slow killing
Poison that
When taken
In takes seventy
Five years, more
Or less, to
Effectively
Take
Effect?
One must be passionate
if to write effectively
and more honest with passion
the less one will write merely
affectively
memorable poets also wrote
genuflectively
expressing dear reverence to God
who gave man a lyrical heart
with great option for love....
