Blood Moon
There is a moon stuck inside the stoplight
A still unblinking gaze controlling blood tides
Circulatory system like New York City in the seventies
The thrashing of my tire fire heart led
To the tribute of an overzealous blood tithe
With the buzzing of the latch relay circuit
Night and day, the cosmic light switch clicks
Itself into place, there is no

Relay the Message
Through struggles with health amongst all the strife..
The one sure thing is this program called Relay For Life…
Everyday someone in America dies of uncontrollable disease…
So widespread it brings family and friends to their knees…
To watch their loved ones both big and small…
Give in to the fight to win or lose it all..
The smiles on the

Gold Within the Ink May Heart's Depths Relay
Gold Within The Ink May Heart's Depths Relay
The gold within the ink, it truly glows
As golden afternoon sun slowly sinks,
Night arrives to gift its many shows
As midnight owl its eyes rapidly blinks.
The prancing moon its soft beams splatters
O' the washing tides sing and play along
Writing poetic verses such matters,
As does the music to romantic songs.
Take

The Relay Race
The relay race starts with a bang as rain comes pouring down.
The starting runner, Spring, flies by in her bright flower crown.
Baton gets passed to Summer, who so glowingly appears
right at the very moment that the massive rain cloud clears.
The crowd all loves this golden runner, who too soon is gone.
The sun shines brightly on

A Relay Wedding Gift
My wife and I had planned a camping trip at Doctor’s Creek reserve,
a peaceful place to ease our minds, and a holiday that we deserve
amongst the natural beauty with the Goulburn River flowing past,
and lazing in a deckchair, with now and then a fishing line to caste.
That was our intention, but good intentions sometimes come

Relay Leg
Beginning to smile as the person beside you drives
And you fly because flying beats driving every day
The will power behind you is no match for the artist within you
For as he strives and as he pushes and as he pulls
His muscles are starving, gasping for oxygen
But you are running free, smoother, faster, quieter
Somewhere between a

Fortitiude Is Not An Attitude Nor a Forked Out Relay Race
For anyone going through crap here is a bit of madness xxxxxxx
Why is it that a juice isnt speaking to a nine foot tree? A nine mile climb to a fortune tree, is a vertical axis of cake bake. And that us a sensible thought isn't it? But only if the polka dot worm is

Relay
May I relay to you the moments in which I breathe alone,
Seeing your pain from the wayside of imminent tears,
At a distance, fighting resistance…to run into your space
May I relay to you the throbbing of my heart,
As I absorbed your crushing absence
Wondering how I might fight the worms,
As they lodged in your decaying flesh
May

Relay For Life
Relay for Life
Hence forth, evermore and in every essence
Poor must be if pertaining to peasants
Colossal moon can have several crescents
Best things occur if God's in your presence.
God and me together may have many sessions
In them is where I will learn a lot of lessons
In God won't worry about making impressions
Or from Him wanting to obtaining

Relay
Relay
by Odin Roark
Quietly restless vibrates their lives
Refusing to become another’s exhaustion
With feet that still move
Arms that forever embrace
Smiles that only invite
Thinking that feeds dreams
Their midnight oil remains burning
So go the resilient few
Bodily disintegration ignored
Their stamina relentless
Minds and hearts held fervent
Even as so few relate
Most

My Relay Buddy
This year and last
you make me feel wanted
You make sure
I'm not left behind
It's a new feeling
that I'll hold on to
And I do care
that's why I was there
I just wish that you'd talk to me now
about anything
I don't want you to leave
and have summer go by
and you disappear
