Premium Member Love Found Me

Oh like an army
she battled through my defence
like a tornado
blew away a mordant mind,
yet the touch of an angel.

Garden Guard

Marigolds, the tint of molten sun,
Battled with the aphid horde, and won,
Routing them with pungent, putrid stink,
Beautiful to see…not smell…I think.

Crazy Lies

There once was a girl named Dan
She was so brave she battled a can 
The can was so crazy and brave 
But in the end the prince was saved
So that’s how I became tan

Premium Member Punch Drunk

He should never have stepped in the ring

Because he had no talent to bring 

Even though he battled

His brain just got rattled 

And now he can't remember a thing

Go Beryl

Beryl, a beach girl of some girth,
Was paddling for all she was worth,
     Her face looked so stark
     Being chased by a shark,
As she battled to get out of the surf.

Premium Member I Was a Soldier's Soldier

The cavalry charged, leading the way
     The infantry advanced, joining the fray

   As for me, I was up to a little deviltry
     Donned my goggles ~ battled virtual reality

I Lost To My Chess Machine

I battled with 
my chess machine
It defeated me
Man vs. Machine
Just like John Henry
I feel like I 
may 
die 
   with a hammer 
in my hand
or perhaps a pawn, rook or knight

Premium Member A Birthing Person From Perth

There once was a birthing person from Perth
He/She/It battled quite a hefty girth
  Couldn't sit, so she squatted
  Reputation mud-spotted
But oh man, could she push when she gave birth

The Soldier

I saw a battled frame
housing a black 
and white photo
of a hero 
in war, 

proudly posing
hiding his fear, 
his fragility

some family's pride
and country's

creased, 
in a junk shop

Mr Right

I knew a man who wanted all his life to just be right
He challenged every question, every doubt he would indict
And though he struggled earnestly, and battled hard and long
The best that one could say was … that at least he wasn’t wrong

My Own Worst Enemy

Battled the mirror since the age of eight.
This on going war inside me I hate.
We all act like its a sin.
I have a slim chance to win.
Today the fight starts to lose weight.

Premium Member Iridescent Icicles

It’s cold
It snowed
I shivered
I shoveled
A Solstice sun
Silently smirked
Iridescent icicles
Licked their lips
A crunch of crusted snow
Battled the scritch of shovels
Headless snowmen
Wandered in wonder
I shoveled
I shivered
It snowed
It’s cold

Shock and Awe

the war was well 

on its way
mottled and coddled
 battled  and  bottled
before the

            front was modeled
      the frontline was hobbled
the forefront was cobbled

dark hearts be doubled
light hearts be troubled

the war is well
on its way

Premium Member She Never Fully Battled Out Her Feelings

Intricate labyrinth of feelings,
Closed around her heart.
Suddenly and completely.
She never fully battled out or apart.

Overcome with out-of-control emotions
That could neither be shaken or explained,
Nonverbalized, pent up, and out-of-control,
She was unhappy, angry, and deranged.

She was unhappy, angry, and deranged.

Premium Member Lewis and Clark

They were Meriwether Lewis and William Clark,
Her name was Sacagawea.
On an expedition they did embark
Finding the passage to the sea.

Down the Missouri they traveled, 
Then slithered 'round the Snake River bend.
Rocky Mountain weather and sickness battled;
At the Columbia River they'd end.

I Lost

A battle of life.
We're both trying to win.
We battled and faught.
Trying to seek revenge.
Revenge is sweet.
What goes around comes around.
Some days I feel you pick me up.
Othere days I feel you slam me down.
The end is coming.
The line we have to cross.
Yes I did it, I won!
But why do it feel like I lost.

Self discovery

I set out on a journey 
To explore the depths of me
To know who I am,
And what I'm supposed to do.
As I made my way through the valleys,
climbed the tallest summits,
I battled my personal demons,
I overcame my own fears as well.
I found strength in my courage 
And courage in my heart.
I discovered a new me.

Premium Member Resting On-Soldier John An Epitaph

Resting on-solder John AN EPITAPH

So dies this wayward soldier laid at rest
Battled on raging strong
At skies night he fellowships
Now with those others veterans of other wars
His body now at peace
As God has him now on His golden streets
Resting on-soldier John

deep crime

no less of ledged, against
you bet, wild
that i didn't wink
sworn to soar over with oath
in torn battled threads
instill 
i'd fend 
often from wherever  

in between needles, break
findings the fiddlers wife
chins reddened and thoughts ill 
gotten white?
rotted harm
to joyfuls shoulder
i should find, myselfish poor

hot phenomenon 

           ancient lava rings
     hexagonal shapes appear 
         molten rock anneals

         where titans battled 
     geometric footprints pave
         the giants causeway

Paint It Pink Pink Pink Breast Cancer Memory of Clara Anderson

PINK
 PINK
PINK

painting PINK

In memory of Clara Anderson—artist--beloved aunt, mother and role model

Clara had her breasts removed
Long before Pink was beloved
Bravely faced the doctors knife
Mother’s friend and navy wife

Clara danced on 30 years
Battled pain
Laughed through tears
And her paint brush 
Carried on
Splashed her color
Like a song
