stubborn pride,remains the day...

to my ear canal,
each laud casting lines

Don't weary : be lively
                Don't worry : be Momentary and Complementary
          Don't hurry : be Anticipatory and Auxiliary

press upper
right so that
you might 
be able to 

make your move
in turn and i ask
you would you
like to have a

your luggage
like a blood

hound
i find the 
scent needed
to follow you...

Two
as one,
hand-in-hand
companians,
distinct,yet complementary helpmeets.

NOTE:The challenge with Ray Stebbing's tetractys form is -that each line is required 'to stand on its own ' & the poem itself  is to express a complete thought,within the narrow compass of 20 syllables....

more than anybody else ever could..."...

Distinct,but complementary
flowers of mutual fusion,
in perfect harmony;
Sensibililties will embrace,
incensed by aromas of love,
the bond is revealed;
Opposites,yet in alikeness
the attraction of natural
magnetism is sealed;

In the uniqueness of husband and wife
an equivalence,for life...

beauty and ugliness are complementary, 
for good and evil
complete us...
Anxiety and calm are important
we depend on each other,
mistake promotes success,
failure, invents glory...
From pain, joy is born...!
We are dually incomplete,
We seek unattainable perfection
We are a combination of concrete and abstract
Humans yes, divine particles yes,...!...

When
    men and women
    sing together...
    When they soften
    together...
    when they forget
    the bodies,
    when they accept each other and
    if they help each other... we have a
    truth in life :
    They are complementary beings,
    friends abd truly brothers !
    They are children of the truth...
    not just slaves
    of flesh and desire...!...

My dear Donald Trump 
  At your tender age 
you shouldn't be bumped
  into early retirement, and so
I want you in my new Cabinet, although

to your unique talents the position must fit...
  Therefore, after mulling things over a bit
There's an idea that makes perfect sense
  A new, complementary position to old 'Defense'  

~I hereby appoint you my 'Secretary of Offense'...

Distinct,
   but complementary
        the mutual fusion
flowed
in perfect harmony
as sensibililties 
embraced
     aromas of love
becoming
a revealed
    bond 
of
opposites
  yet equivalent

the attraction 
so natural
by
   divine
magnetism 
 was sealed
 inherent
within
   the uniqueness 
       of husband and wife
in union
   complete
as one
    for life....

Awaken to citrine sky as   
Birds are heaven bound 
Canvas rich true complementary colors spun.
Delight sensation of sweet scent does tease,
Enchanting pink sunshade trees intertwine
Fervor poetic strokes in cherry blossoms.
Glide through, as time sweeps away a
Humble early morning light.
Impressionistic intrinsic appearance, 
Jitter to tomorrow’s mystic splendor.

lovingly attentive
   immediately acclaimed
   complementary
an exact contemporary
yet
    vanishing away
in perceived emotions
     distinct absences
     of
       apparent inhibitions
&
    estatic beauty

so remarkable a nature
the ability to mesmorialize
    the
       unforgettable

an ancient beauty
       such introspection
       .              indulged
hidden 
     in an
        affectionate nature...
