Fun Marathon Poetry Inspired by Robert Frost -2

The course is lovely, hills are steep
But I need a steady pace to keep
And miles to go–I must dig deep
And miles to go–I must dig deep

Fun Marathon Poetry Inspired by Robert Burns

Quiet as a mousie studying the route
Praying proper prep is not in vain
The best laid plans of marathoners
       Might lead to disarray
Race day ending in grief and pain
       At the expense of joy!

Love, version 1: reflections on personal experiences of love, inspired by reading bell hooks

Wounded by its lack
Distrustful of it 
Inured to its absence 
In thrall to its allure
Fooled by its simulacrum
Estranged from it 
Paralysed by fear of losing it
Inexorably exposed to it 
Resolved against it 
Consumed by longing for it
A scholar to its foreign texts 
A slave to its compulsions 
Compelled to search for it
Forever 
Hopeful

Does This Lady Love Her Mister

Because of it, we laughed as grass is green—there is she not common.
Realizing how it is I became, such implied in her with favor.
--
And, being left off distant of, but near to her, I thus became—
whose teeth, white, flashed: the sun as she was now to smile and show them.
--
I was drawn inside by her

Fun Marathon Poetry Inspired By Edgar Allan Poe

Running after Midnight is eerie 
Passing mile twenty-one, weak and weary
All other runners finished early
A few quaint and curious are waiting
Some encouraging, some baiting
Only this and nothing more
Quoth my sore feet “Nevermore”

Fun Marathon Poetry Inspired By Robert Frost

Two roads diverged on the marathon course
And obviously I couldn’t travel both
And neither were they clearly marked
So I took the one I thought was best
And now I’m far behind the rest

          **********

The wind remembers what I tried to forget—  
a voice in the fire, a name in the rain.  
I stood on the edge of the world I had built,  
watching it crumble,

Paranoid Inspired By Ozzy Tribute

I walked in and was blindsided,
your racing pulse I had to steal.
With the first glance fate decided,
I walked in and was blindsided.
Crazy train of thoughts misguided
this love to me seemed so unreal.
I walked in and was blindsided,
your racing pulse I had to steal.

Using AI in soup contests - Inspired by Unseeking Seeker’s and Tania's blogs

Your cheating ways, you've sunk so low,
to win contests - that isn't right.
You've used AI, few sponsors know
Your cheating ways

MY ideas form, it’s time to write,
(Unlike AI, my brain is slow)
When poem’s done, I feel delight!

But AI wins, it's quite a blow
It's unfair and I feel uptight
We're NOT blind sheep, I want to show
Your cheating

Only our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is well able and willing to deliver us

O it's only my precious Lord and Savior, who is really able,
To freely and fully deliver yours very truly,
From all of my habitual sins and all too persistent,
Inequities. O how far have I fallen from Your grace?

It's a miraculous miracle that you have not hidden
Your holy face far far far away from the likes of

Inspired By A Good Hearted Citizen

I lost a bracelet
Returned to the place where I bought 
There I found it
Someone has tied it hanging
There a caption I read:
"Lost and found bracelet,
Claim with a receipt."
I gave the receipt and claim it again
I'm happy to see that there are still
People who have a heart of a good citizen.

Photography Inspired By You

My photography style is you:
I hear you. I see you.
You are beautiful.
Wish me luck
On my journey. 
And so it begin, 
With a camera, 
A little snap click
My interest begun, 
Every angle requires
Precision and appreciation
Ignites my interest
In photography, in beauty
In nature, then you of course.

Rime fires Edge Inspired by Rime of the Ancient Mariner

The albatross, a frozen, spectral wing,
Hangs heavy 'cross the sky, no solace it can bring.
A ship of bones, on seas of liquid lead,
Where cursed winds howl, and ancient horrors spread.
The mariner's gaze, a hollow, burning stare,
Reflects the ice, and whispers of despair.
The serpent coils, beneath the frosted wave,
A living shadow, from a watery grave.
The moon,
