Interior Lineman
~ Quoted, “Hi, Mom’
Impressionable immature imps imprint, improve, and improvise
Incorporating incredible indefatigable independence.
Infusing informed influential infallible infestation
Intensifying interception intermingling intimacy
Napoleon, the Military Commander,
Rose to prominence as the indefatigable French leader.
Stood on victor’s podium for long, but Fate pulled down Bonaparte.
A deflated balloon in Waterloo, with his armaments torn apart!
running,
and running,
and running
on a spinning wheel
like an indefatigable hamster;
persisting...
on and on
as dawn creeps into
dusk's front door
and makes a backyard exit,
a dyed-in-the-wool workaholic
can barely move a limb
after slaving through
his graveyard shift.
he's finally home early morning;
body and spirit, exhausted.
with a cold brew in his hand,
he leans back
on his comfortable recliner
and takes a big gulp...
a h h h h ! ! !
temporary freedom
from back-breaking work
never tasted
so refreshing!!
he's earned his right
to be blissfully idle
throughout the day.
he's got hours of sleep
to catch up on!
It's all in my eyes
What you see is no disguise
My intent is so sincere
I'm aiming and shooting without fear
My energy is indefatigable
I can meet night with day and still be excitable
In the midst of storms, I'm unflappable
My level of stoicism is masterful
I'm peering
and I'm steering
I'm honing
and I'm toning
I'm leveling
and I'm not settling
This is MY FOCUS
And this is no hocus pocus
He dances so well in those flares.
Such a gliding, sliding motion.
Round and round - planetary.
Prance, and prance, prance, prance.
Is he a dummy, a puppet?
Yet singularly, exceptionally charming.
Do we believe he exists? He does continue to
prance, oh prance, prance, prance.
Such a springy way to dance - so elastic -
enhancing that appearance.
Such a stunning, gorgeous
prance, gee, prance, prance, prance.
Is he mad? Or are we so?
Oh, such a one-man energetic bustle,
spirited, bubbly - such an indefatigable
prance, that prance, prance, prance.

Behold Queen of Priestesses
I bow my head in your sanctuary
Of cool stone, circling your obelisk
Receiving roses and papyrus
to cover my breasts
of aching love and thorns
Glyphs pierce my skin
I thank you for God’s grapes
put before me and the many
Jewels for my altar to the Sun
Your emeralds dissolve in the
Rivers of Africa
turning to sparkling trout
For San to catch
Your tears fill our dams to the brim
as the One speaks into your eyes
I listen with heart strings pull tight
A cool breeze sways my
Spine clear of all want
As Pyramid moves to Moon
then descends again
Our robes touch planets
To bring you messages
for your rule and
Cloth for Kem
Ever upward we move
to the indefatigable
Light

Bob
A diva without a tiara,
Unbreakable even by Barra.
Greedy for space,
for light,
for love.
Supplying my shade,
my air,
my wonder.
My keeper of tales to tell nought,
My indefatigable stalwart.
Do not fear, Bob is here.
To the young, Time is growing
and achievement...to the old,
it is comforting and survival;
to God, perhaps, reconciliation,
an opportunity to show His
Grace and far Greater Love.
For me, it is where I float
my poetry, having put my all
into the buoyancy and power
of words; the indefatigable
currents of phrases imagined,
once beyond the horizon, dipping
into the formless deep....
Spiritual Optimism
Silenced voices for millennia traverse upon repressed pivotal moments
Deplorable vow of secrecy resonates amid impregnable embattlements
Ancient nomads above burning desert sense overwhelming compassion
Thirst quenched with essential nutrients rejuvenates tenets of past eon
Primal fear of cosmic unknowns planet in isolation impose concealment
Incessantly radiating interstellar illumination awaken fireflies iridescent
Enigmatic passageway to astounding revelation shrouded in symbolism
Sweep ambiguities away strengthening indefatigable spiritual optimism
The lies surround us
Seeping into our skin like water
Uncontainable
Unstoppable
Unattainable
The words spoken, once silent
Now decayed in our hearts
Intangible
Insidious
Indefatigable
The orderly mind now deceased
Ruled by passion, and anger, and hate
Mutable
Dilutable
Corruptible
Floodgates open wide
Pouring the fire of rage into our souls
Mindless
Thoughtless
Kindless
Logic is a casualty in their war.
Your son’s letters are deplorable and snorable, his nutty teacher said.
His writing is indefatigable, unliterable, commitable, kind of dead.
Your vocabulary is unclearable, bunmittable, said his parent Ted.
The teacher was smitten, thinking he was wise in his imaginary head.
Superhuman in his incapacity
Invincible in his ignorance
Unsurpassed in his arrogance
Nonpareil in his stupidity
Superlative in his sleaziness
Ingenious in his idiocy
Indefatigable in his lying
Glorious in his greed
Imperial in his incompetence
Terrific in his tyranny
Incomparable in his corruption
Assured by the Almighty’s grace abounding…
Yearning for contentment is settled today and yon
Exuding hope, expressing bright future’s expectation
Affirming moving-on pursuits toward aspiration-ascent
Reminding good days ahead with revival replenishment.
Despite threatening dearth causing despair
Whispering angst, obscuring wishes with worries
Indefatigable spirit overcomes inconveniences
Never surrendering; advancing nonetheless
Depending on God, the sovereign Defender
Learning life lessons while liberated by His love
Illumined to move on with divine inspiration
Nourished with grace and compassion’s nurture
Growing stronger, geared by faith, glowing.
Drawing nigh* to the Lord Who to me reaches down
Offering blessings’ opportunities for service opulence
Welcoming my heart for revival against weariness
Now, I bid adieu to months dwindling down, toward year’s newness.
*James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you…

1st place, "Pick-A-Title, Vol 23 - Seasonal Acrostic" Contest

I'm a bird of prey creme de la creme.
On air, I'm like a heat-seeking missile,
a kamikaze airplane swooping down
on prey with lethal precision.
My large eyes, as sharp as an Eagle's.
Tell the Eagle I said so!
I can also spot and zero-in on a prey
from thousands of feet high!
I'm a solitary speed demon of a bird.
Don't even think Cheetah; I'm so fast
that cat moves like a tortoise to me.
Land or air, I am indeed the fastest
animal on the face of the planet.
Pardon my vaingloriousness!
Did I mention I'm a cannibal, too?
Yes, I feed on other birds.
I'm often called the "duck hawk"
because...well, I enjoy duck meat!
I sexually mature at the age of three.
I typically breed from March to May.
I don't build my own nests, I simply use
existing vegetation to lay my eggs.
There's incredible power in my sturdy wings
An indefatigable traveler, I get around
the world, spotted in every continent!
I'll repeat, in case you've already forgotten...
I'm the fastest living thing alive.
Tell the Cheetah I said so!
