Resigned to my Fate
pulled my skiff up to a pretty palm
left her to wander the island
was I alone?
were there natives?
would they be friendly
or take off my head?
the sun was setting low in the sky
air had an ambiance of quiet
I felt peaceful
and resigned to my fate
no matter what the outcome
there was a skip in my step

Where Are a We Going?
I am resigned.
I was once full of neoteric life, fresh as morning dew.
Blank as a hardened sponge waiting for that morning, to
soak in all this life.
I was curious and surprised by the innocence of young creatures. Playful, and distracted by all the colors, flavors,

I Have Resigned From Being His Teacher
A good source of Bad Spelling
With the effect Quite Telling:
Sometimes in Serious Writing
‘Capitals’ and ‘Small’ Fighting:
Altering whole passages,
Garnishing The Messages:
Each ‘S’ in Mississippi
Innocently omitting,
Unthinkable letter P
To ‘Behavior’ submitting:
You strike them out he’s quibbling;
A prelude to ‘Plain Squabbling’ …
I’ve resigned from being his teacher
Rather Good Spelling Preacher:
‘L’ in ‘Halo’ not double
Double the ‘B’ in Stubble

Resigned
I lay in love
As would be a shoreline
Enjoying the ebb of your tides upon me
I lay in love
Rejoicing the lusty touch of your waves on me
Content, fully aware that you remain here
As each sunset promised the sunrise!
But your hatred surged at me,
As would the wreck of a tsunami,
Destroying my shoreline,
Drowning me in tons of rubbles

Resigned To Unwind With Peace of Mind
Resigned To Unwind with Peace of Mind
We have always been resigned,
To the fact of wanting to unwind,
Then be best,
When we rest,
While we will find peace of mind.

Without a String
In one grievous gasp
Slipping through a gaping hole
My heart took to the air
Bruised yet numb
With weightlessness
Like a runaway balloon
Without a string
Suspended in flight
Adrift at the whim
Of a carefree breeze
No rhyme or reason
Hovering as if to meet
The clouds or the moon
A freedom with no direction
Resigned to what will be

More Facts To Am Resigned
More Facts To Am Resigned
Here is something else to consider.
To more facts I have become resigned;
Never leave any of my poems behind;
Many must put together then combine.
Have been adding more to end of poem
due to exceeding ten limit. In this way,
I can keep on writing and then cut and
paste later to new poems. I

Resigned
There is a rebel -guy hiding somewhere
down deep within your fleeting heart;
a snake- charmer of broken promises
who rushes off and pierces my veins.
Although honey-coated words are gone
to waste inside your impulsive mind,
I’m quick to forget after the ache
since the challenge to tame you
has become a quest, a dare: but now,
my heart resigns
