Short Best Efforts Poems

Despite your best efforts 
To dissuade me
From the solitary life 
Our friendship still remains,
Though we travel different paths.

When striving for the best and you have put in your best efforts, as an investment in your endeavors,
Is it not expected that the rewards be recognized as being either equal or greater in measure?

You only get
one shot
in this game,
one chance
to make
your mark.
There are
no repeats
This is it
It's all
you've got
So make
the most
of this opportunity
Give your
best efforts
100%
Don't regret
Just move forward
with your eyes
to the heavens...

Why
would
people
criticise
a child’s best efforts
because he does not measure up
to their own abilities and twisted reasoning?
Learning disorders are not to be looked down on; instead, motivation is the key.

When
The
Clock hands 
Mark midnight 
At the New Year Eve
Raise high your champagne flute and  cheers            
For the best and not so good moments lived in this year
Making an agreement with yourself of realizing the best efforts of progress

My verse is free
My cadence my own
But maybe I should stick to
I Do Not Know
For trying to find
A pigeon hole
Constipates my poetic flow
While I love to cook
I love to taste
I'm hard pressed to follow a recipe
I'm here to admit
Despite my best efforts
It simply isn't me
So in I Do Not Know
I will push my poems
Such should suite me fine
There I can stick my rhyme
Wherever I like
Including where the sun don't shine....

How do you celebrate
a first anniversary?
How do you commemorate
365 days
of life?
No ivory, crystal
china or gold.
Simply one year of 
survival in spite 
of your best efforts.

There will be
no party, festive
and light.
Only a quiet 
Private vigil to remember
what was truly lost
and the sacrificial lamb.

Blood for blood.

At the end of this day
one year later
I shall grieve for
the lost little lamb
but celebrate
Life....

Pain that builds in intensity
So many wounds to the heart
Our mother worn from assault
The earth doomed from the start?

The hour for healing is passing
Perhaps out best efforts to late
But we keep hope in the drumbeat
With sacrifice the rewards are great.

To try with each day of living
To cleanse and repair the earth
Each small effort is helping
Each green act has worth...


When feasable, please try to buy in bulk..saves packaging, (trees) and other resources....

fighting back instinct for modern civilization

denying truth for some desperate stab

at feeling special; above and beyond

making ourselves jealous

insecure

imaginatively punishing others for doing

what we are also doing ourselves

and despite our best efforts

and through all of our confusion

and even for being brutally, fervently

faithful 

(because it's 'the done thing')

human x is to human y

as sperm is to egg

we are animals
