You live for pleasure, seeking more,
while happiness remains elusive.
Your heart is nourished with excess,
as in the gloomy day of slaughter.
Sweet, spring wrap your arms around me,
Place me in an emerald forest, green;
Rain, gently fall and make my world clean-
I run through a wildflower meadow carefree,
Narrow trails beckon me to follow their labyrinthine;
Gamboling, frolicking baby ducks play on a pond aquamarine.
Ice cold storms are gone away,
Such delight- the song of a blue jay.
Cajoling, coaxing mother duck tries to keep order,
Oh, in this nirvana there is no clock . . .
Melodious forest tunes like a symphony by Bach-
Inside this forest nature blooms in manic disorder
Nearby, on a branch the call of a hawk . . .
Getting tired- I rest on a sunny rock.
Shasta daisies sway and dance-
Oh, I am a travelling pleasure-seeker,
Oh, flocks of flying birds call to me from a loudspeaker;
Nothing is more beautiful than a spring happenstance . . .

First Place
here i am, a man
design of the divine
an immaculate concept put into full production
i bear the hallmark of modern man
i am perfectly flawed
i am a pleasure seeker
i am a man
a distant father
a long lost lover
a mans man, a brothers brother
i care not for regrets, for excercise or healthy eating
i drink hard
i take drugs for fun
i sleep around but i always get the job done
work hard, play hard
work really does set you free
i live to live
this body ive been granted will be put thru its paces
i will not nurse myself into old age striving to keep
this mortal shell in pristine conditin
how pointless...
graves are not for gently pulling into
without a scratch or a dent
there for sliding into sideways on fire in a
broken down beat up wreck with a million miles on the clock
i am a man
a risk taking love making late braking man.
