Trixie is Annoyingly Persistent

There are many things I would rather do
Trixie, my muse is tapping me like a tattoo artist’s needle
She is annoyingly insistent, brazen and persistent
I decide to ignore her; I have other hobbies

The poem she wants to write floats in the air of my art studio
I throw fluorescent orange paint onto a canvas and ignore her
She sends a wasp that lands on the paint
This is maddening

another line of her poem shouts in my ear
I cannot fight Trixie any longer
I put down my brush and pick up a pen

Persistent Valentine Chimpanzee

Valentine’s day chimpanzee has designs on me
I tell him I am taken, and he says “tee hee!”
I show him my initial, the ancient letter C.
He says come and sit down up my knee.

I tell him I am old enough to remember Paul Klee
He says we should spoon under the old oak tree
I tell him I cannot, for today they give ice cream for free
Introducing him to the king of the Old Grand Prix

My husband Chick looks down at the tiny chimpanzee
Scaring him so hard, that the little guy doth flee
He shot off faster than a golf ball on a magic tee.
I guess my husband Chickadee plans on keeping me.

Progressing and Persistent

She was constantly evolving,
And like the moon, she went through phases. 

She was independent, yet needy. 
She was confident, yet insecure. 
She was fearless, yet timid. 

But the one thing that was always consistent with her—
She always loved.

Pulsations In a Persistent Pattern

The pounding in my head, a persistent throbbing
A cause for concern says the vascular people
It could be something complex or rather simple
This constant drumming, almost unspeakable,
Which keeps me awake when I should be sleeping
Pulsations in a persistent pattern mimic a cadence
Suggest coming from the innermost cerebrum
Not from a snare, but a tom-tom-like rhythmic drum
Even more pronounced than a cicada’s feral dance
This ethereal pounding heard not by anyone else
For my ears alone this thumping rush deep inside
Like a resentment I should've held in confidence
[A compulsive, secret lover hidden in Warm Springs]
Were it not for the imminent danger to life itself,
Requiring specialized tests only insurance approves
In the meantime, I write lyrics to accompany the beat.

No Conclusions

No Conclusions***

Can’t figure things out?
Never between 
    the lines.
Outside the lanes, 
Staying spaced 
In gray shadows
Or mist or fog…
Outlying and altering.
Possibly close,or
Beyond
Leaving,
 Below or high.
Yet, wearing
    pseudonyms,
Always being    
Lost, then
Re-addressed.
Oscillating.
But, remaining
Persistently    
    ambiguous.
Ticking, dangling.
Indefinitely
“Durra lurra loo,
Durra lurra lay,”
Tick-tocking clock
Infinitely 
Short morns.
Dragging afternoons.
Cycles of blue moons.
Possibly some
Random hours 
    to play.  Hooray!
And sing,
“Tick tick toe too,
Geerie oh toe loo.”
A clock eternally 
Maybe
Runs…

Persistent Impermanence

flailing through life’s mist
                   a world of doubt bubbles up
                         pops in and remains

Being Persistent

Being Persistent
By: Miracle Man
2/4/2021

One of the biggest illusions many have,
is that of entitlement.
Few things arrive on a silver platter,
and when they do,
absent is any feeling of gratification.                                                                                           

Countless are obsessed,
by visions of having what another has,
but without cost, feeling entitled.
Each person should strive to earn,
their space in life.

God fills each path with stepping stones,
that advance us toward our goals.
Yet chosen too often,
is the path of least resistance,
And many become just disembodied voices.
Rise to the top, Cream does.

Persistent Pursuit

Poets pen Personifications, Pantoums, plus Prose
 Providing prepositions, present participles prettily pose
 Patiently presenting parodies
 Portraying powerful persuasive possibilities
 Painting pictures poetically 
 Persistently pursuing perfect phrases
 Perfectly pleased postin poems

Being Persistent

Being persistent
By Miracle Man
October 12, 2020

Some choose to think I’m a pertinacious man,
others think I’m a prisoner of rigid thinking.
If you wish to describe me as “hard headed” you can,
I’ll accept your assessment and remain unblinking.


Let God be your refuge and strength each day,
let Him light your path, and His word become your way.
Tom

Persistent Prayer

This parable brings out important lessons
that when we begin praying it mustn't end
not until God mercifully does answer
then give thanks for all He did send

The judge in the parable didn't fear God
not even regarded man but he felt
for this widow for she never gave up
proving the human heart can indeed melt

This judge spoke within himself
if I should reject this widows plea
she'll keep on at me with no end
so I'll give her wish so can flee

The Lord cries out to make sure to hear
what the judge so unjust did actually say
for God loves His elect this He'll show
He hears their every cry night and day

Now despite all, that's been learned
when Jesus returns what will He find?
will faith be evident on His creation?
or is mankind acting as if blind!?

Continue To Be Persistent

Continue to be persistent 
Never give up
Take flight on your mission
And climb to the top
Always believe that you can
Surge in order to do better
All of the knowledge is there
Make your vision sharper

The Persistent Quest

The Persistent Quest

I've been searching and searching
 for something I had lost
 And I vowed to keep on looking,
 regardless of the cost

 I'd climb the highest mountain,
 And I'd sail the ocean blue
 I would roam all through the
 forest, if my dream would just come true

 I'd walk out by the wayside, and I'd look both up and down
 Thinking if perhaps I'd listen, I might even hear a sound
 I thought that I would give up
 and go on the way things are,

 Or keep forever searching,
 whether it be near or far
 Finally something struck me like
 a bolt out of the blue

 I found what I was searching for,
 and that something was you

Always Stay Persistent

Always stay persistent 
Continue on walking in the right path
Let no one deter you
Keep it moving and stay on track 
The sun will eventually shine 
Greatness is within you 
Never give up hope 
Just travel along through

Persistent Beauty

Sharp edges are boundaries
in our perceptions which exhibit
the persistent illusion of a mind plus world..
So we allow the encroachment of Awareness
to soften the sharp
to expose the illusion
and bring us to discovery
of the Self reality
which as background lies ..
Allowing the sharp edges
to be sharp once more
made now of persistent Beauty...
