Comeback-Shirley, starting early, I'm the sparkle that teases night. Worship, the Madonna baby! Comeback-Shirley Foam hair curlers set loose coils tight. Strawberry cheeks, fans wish to see. Appearances, tilt the glass right. Put your sugar bowl out, missy. The world shall call you its sunlight. Stolen cradle, aren't you in glee? Comeback-Shirley...

Over by the bridge watch them link Swans congregating before flight Curtains of dusk drape at the brink Over by the bridge The ebon sky soon out of sight as the red sun begins to sink the chill of autumn fills the night Gliding force, unabashed blinks huddled they aim for evening light as they swim...

Victors survive in nature’s wild. Protectors are most determined. Mother Bear needs fish for her child. Victors survive. The strongest, biggest, hungriest, does not always win the food chain. Love and caring make the smartest. Females in the wild fight others in protection of their young cubs. A loud male growl scares no mothers. Victors survive. #2 ...

Gliding on waves, the evening sun, Imparts glowing shimmering hue, As the misty evening is spun, Gliding on waves. Water adores the misty blue, Sprinkled with bits of love and dew, Hope and dreams for the life renew. Under the sky, the world is one, The sun shines upon, leaving none, For birth of new day has begun, Gliding on waves. ...

Let’s win over our fear and doubt Battling against woe, angst, pain Vanquishing through faith hopeless pout Courage conquers! Standing firm upon harsh terrain Contenders as bears for champ’s bout Prove so that bravery does reign. Overcoming harshness of drought Ferocious toward triumph gain Freed by God from cowardice-clout Courage conquers! ...

I THINK TOO MUCH I think too much of what has been I should let my heart rule the day And treat it as a movie scene I think too much I’d let those thoughts just blow away Nor ever work out what they mean Keep a settled mind, some might say A sharp edged blade may be too keen But still cuts deep,...

When egos clash, and anger flares, prepare to see an ugly scene. Some folks behave like enraged bears when egos clash. Competitors can be so mean and territorial. Each dares to strike. Should someone intervene? When two desire one girl, each swears he’ll win her, and she’ll be his queen! You’ll see fistfights and baleful glares when egos clash....

The ghostly night was filled with gloom As from your grave we walked away. Grief-stricken, there beside your tomb; Through Heaven's gate you've gone. A friend you were until that day You met your godforsaken doom And taken through death's alleyway. From the long stay in your dim room Where pain and groaning came to stay, Gossamer wings you now assume; Through Heaven's gate you've...

Girl on my knees her skin woman's, where bulbs are floral not a light — she makes up darkshade eyes with pins girl on my knees while in her dress, no — sans that bright look on my tomb though still not dead — with her tongue's first memory's bite of a scarring sample of bread — Jiff butter or...

Visual# 1 Where river bends on waves which sweep The air rustling mild, I can see Swans waltzing as dusk gloams to peep Where river bends Dressed in lace, how svelte they can be While night shadows begin to creep, Birds of grace prancing near each tree. Bathed by mist, don't they fall asleep? With zig-zag dance, on eve's marquee, Plumes winging till morn...so...

The sunshine band, ember sunset. Stunning swans' graceful elegance Serenely swim, one can't forget. The sunshine band Overlay peace yet endlessness Cast, swayed in the balmy breeze, yet It displayed depth and eloquence; The sunshine band Loyalty to each other let These white feathered benevolence Dip their heads together, heart set. The sunshine band Image 1 ...

Image #5 Over calm seas the sun does rise Far away and seeming so small Truth is where our perspective lies Over calm seas One of the largest of them all; Sea creature with bandits disguise The sun balancing like a ball So deceived by fallible eyes This whale makes the sun rise and fall Painting red, orange, yellow skies Over calm seas ...

Your cheating ways, you've sunk so low, to win contests - that isn't right. You've used AI, few sponsors know Your cheating ways MY ideas form, it’s time to write, (Unlike AI, my brain is slow) When poem’s done, I feel delight! But AI wins, it's quite a blow It's unfair and I feel uptight We're NOT blind sheep, I want to show Your cheating...

You've missed a bit, there on your chin. Thin reeds of river grass and fish— cheeks-deep in roe, mud-covered twin, you've missed a bit. Let's bumble on to spawning's pitch eat salmon-seasoned trout—with quince, furs drenched in entrails glazey drip... I long forgave your glutton sin, big Grizz, I swear there is no hitch, just time enough to feast with friends you've missed a...
