Thundering roar commanding,
Protecting his throne.

No reasoning, no intellectuality, could ever quell
my inferno-like desires.

a grand sweeping hand
obscuring insight,
commanding demand
with energies bright
to seize and appease
while motions most sleight
corrupt to disrupt
when skeptics indict....

Alive with a commanding presence
Really, at everything I must be the best
I believe myself to be a strong person
Especially when compared to the rest
So just please accept me as I am, for I am but a Ram...

Demanding and Commanding

Once in our world did exist understanding;
Being replaced by controlling and demanding;
Canter of attention;
We must mention;
Maintaining a lead constantly commanding.

I pray to thee, thou fortitude to bestow upon us so as to command our fate!

flamingo sunset
just the hour their world's afire
whispers of moonlight

orange and pink sky
hues reflected in water
nighttime is dreaming

elegance and grace
commanding all the twilight
remnants of beauty...

Trump Commanding Lead

Once in our world had existed understanding;
Trump as President is controlling and demanding;
Center of attention;
We must mention,
And can you imagine Trump us all commanding.

Glaring oracles, suspended high above the asphalt,
Imperiously commanding reckless drivers to a sharp halt.
Defenestrate the folly of haste, oblivious to the signals, 
Prioritize life over velocity and frivolous giggles....

THE ECHOING
( I am back to stay!)


The echoing of muse’s divine call
Swelled the desire of poetry in my heart
That haunted me during my absence
Commanding me at once to be back!

The Colossus of Rhodes stood erect,
commanding much awe and respect.
But his rather small shorts
held his assets - of sorts.
Perhaps, not a lot - I suspect!

Discovered Dianne Feinstein

School children had crucial lead that is commanding;
We would discover them to be downright demanding,
Great job perform;
Way above norm;
It to your new response we must again be handing.

A lonely siren pierces the night
     commanding attention
        stillness betrayed

  A lonely siren captivates
     commanding sorrow,
         fear and hope

  The lonely siren fades
       in the distance
        prayers follow...

Your smile is contagious,
Your energy is endless,
But the most astonishing thing about you,
Is your commanding intelligence.

You’re caring and considerate,
You’re the icing on the cake,
And without your music,
The world would be a mistake....

Looming, commanding,
Twin towers modern marvel;

      Like the eye of a hurricane
         the epicenter of the storm

      Every day in some way
        at risk for harm

      A face like granite
        commanding the planet

      Squeezed into the middle
        ~ it’s hot on the griddle

Beauty beyond comprehension 
A figure in elegant form
Style commanding attention 
Smile inviting and warm
To the depths of the sea I would seek her
To the ends of the earth I would roam
To the farthest star I would fly to 
Until finally I'd found my way home...

Life's not about others driving their own car; 
It's about you sailing your own ship. 
It's not about living in other people's shadow; 
It's about you commanding a shadow of your own, 
So that when you die, you will have a glory of your own.

Lo! Write that beautiful rhyme, coming from within…

Oh thy heart, commanding 
The air 
With fairies and legends’ touches;
And a new face smiles, as if born in all the sweetness of yesteryears!

Listen to poem:

Strike away, your excellent guitar,
A notable tune commanding.
Direct your rare form to suffer,
Strike away, your excellent guitar,
Such ought nevermore played as better,
A righteous blend be so moving,
Strike away, your excellent guitar,
A notable tune commanding.

A great snowy owl
Sat on a cupola
Looking wise
But undoubtedly thinking of mice
Who might be down under the barn
To come out to be devoured

He had flown in from the far north
So large and commanding a bird
Hundreds came daily to gape
His head swiveled
His eyes were astonishing
His silence complete...
