koi fish swimming prowess
Her koi fish appear as cowhide
red and white instead of black and white
They swim around lily pads that have shaken off their frogs
I marvel at their swimming prowess
And the pink blossom of the lily pad

SOOTHED BY DEFEAT
My opinion is an option
Their preferences a mandate
Our midpoint an ambiguity
The victory tastes bitter
Only the failure feels better
I then call it an intriguing skin
They name it an awkward scene
The softer tissues on touch
An awful sensation in view
Hearing the rooster roaring
We all deserve no contempt
By integral effort attainable
For every purpose one intends
On the

Prowess of Crystal Skulls
crystal skulls

pull energy from your root chakra
use them for successful scrying
important in cleansing rituals
oftentimes have an alien connection
paranormal phenomenon
produce miracles
rose quarts skull can talk to you
will share tales of love
tigers eye skull will help you solve mysteries

My Ebbing Physical Prowess and Strength
My ebbing physical prowess and strength
noticeably decreases in one direction.
I take lock, stock and barrel
to revisit good ole days of yore
quite conscious undeclared state of war
prevails within body electric of troubadour
now seated at his Macbook Pro
another reasonably rhyming poem
I hope to score
signalled by satisfaction
qua eye of the tiger

Twee is new to our school, unhappy with her mother for moving her.
She is in first grade; it is the middle of January.
Her teacher stated how angry she is.

While she created sand creatures, she told me about her life.

Envision Your Prowess
This is who I am; I achieve peace in simplicity.
No petulance in my kind heart but faithfulness.
This is who I am; I suppress sorrow from others.
And smiled notwithstanding my gentle sadness.
Also, love life, its sweetness, and its bitterness.
The lovely sky is all I desire, for my relish fullness.
And assign my life's rosy colors into poems.
I

Fragility Against Prowess
Having been strong was a practical tool to battle
those adversities that taunted me more than
classmates' games and mischiefs;
I hardly fall for anything other than candid affection,
admitting my fragilities is humble:
I don't declare nobility and excessive riches.
If this vulnerability can be defined as
the Achille's Heel, then it must fit me so perfectly;
I won't be happy until

Written Courage
Endurance upon the page
Edited with audacity
May these words persevere
To catch the right complacency
Written with courage
Erased with fierce endurance
May these words come to me
Fortified by my assurance
It is daring, to say the least
Like cool, calm heroism
May these words be my virtue
Extraordinary prowess in a prism
This here is my backbone
A skeleton of determination
May these words I share

Lion In Water
I am a lion in the water
A bird struggling in the mud
I'm a horse trapped in the stall
A spider's prelude before the web
A wolf pacing before the hunt
A snail climbing Everest
I am the energy that supersedes the deed
I am the champion of its release
I am the fastest
The strongest
The most industrious
Of all around me
For I know

While I Stare
WHILE I STARE
While I stare at the deep of the earth
I tear from my eyes
Is this what He made it to be?
Were we all meant to live like this?
Guns became our toys
Breaking hearts became a thing of joy
Corruption became a hobby
and we've turned immorality into our Tommy
Now that I choose not to be part

Villanelle: Not Mind Nor Soul But the Body's Prowess
Villanelle: Not the Mind nor Soul but the Body’s prowess
Not the mind nor soul but the body’s prowess
What stands out must crown man’s vanity made bold
So what counts must make nations blazing success
Usury stocks and shares that banks re-possess
Wars in foreign lands paid for with oil and gold
Not the mind nor soul but the body’s
