stiff waxen smile
the Cuban marionette attempting to beguile.

She's getting ready
Prom night finally is here
orchid pinned on dress
Nervous anticipation
Attempting to be grown up

with Rick Perry
who can likely count cows but intangibles not very.

On the bank, my thought is attempting to Knit a net
To catch them

Attempting to smooth and comb my hair
My fist shatters the mirror-- splintered and bear
It shows how much I despise my hairdos

Before attempting to find intelligent life out in the universe,
perhaps we should attempt to find it here on planet earth first.

Mister, my dog love
always rushes to greet me
with wagging tail joy
his body shakes like crazy
you think he will break apart.

she knew i was a volcano

i smiled
attempting to disarm her
she knew me better than that

Writing into the night,
attempting to fill voids
of an empty life and
plaster over the pain.
Words offer false hope,
daylight, harsh truth.

A morning surprise,
Many soldiers sadly died.
Through the morning mist,
The torrents of planes pierce through,
Attempting to destroy us.

The proverbial china shop taurus
Is the brutal reptile Trumposaurus
It has a small brain
And it will inflict pain
By attempting to claw your c_litoris

Write with clarity
To get your message through;
Attempting to be clever
May take a bite out of you.
Your reader will reciprocate
With understanding true.

Attempting to write a poem without inspiration
Is like building a castle on not a solid foundation!

Forever falling
Attempting to stand
Looking for someone to
Lift me out of this hole
In the depths of darkness I am
Never to see the light again
Going nowhere fast

I recall
I recall the poverty of my youth
Attempting to escape truth
Demonstrative love was rarely displayed
And so I played Hide-Go- Seek

Words held hostage
by a giant hive keeper.
Queen lost.
Trying to survive
hostile takeover of
narcotics
attempting to flush out poisons
so Queen may live again….

In the beginning
Was the word..
Beginning the dream
Of separation..
And the birth of
Other words
Attempting to
Explain that first
Inexplainable word...

Striving to live
I put my truth into myself
attempting to pull me back out
Alas I am kicking and shrieking
for body is in pain-like stupor
All energy is for survival today.

Why not a civilization on the moon
Before attempting a Mars trip, more opportune
Horse before cart
A better place to start
No astrologist but common sense does loom

The fear of failure
Drove him mad
So instead of attempting achievement
He did nothing
Regretted something
And accepted failure

wherever there be
fear or subterfuge
our heart dies a little
so the problem is huge
anticipating outcomes
attempting to steer fate
living not authentically
is essentially checkmate

Much more preferable it is for the one who really doesn't know
His ignorance to hide than attempting his competence to show!

Attempting to solve a problem
through worry,
is like trying to drink
a river dry.
The following day you"ll find
neither has changed appreciably,
and you feel much worse
for your effort.

You tried to go to second from first.
Getting a good jump, your run was like a burst.
However, the catcher's throw was right on the money.
You were caught attempting to steal; that wasn't funny.
