Eloquence of desperation,
majesty in the end
Elegance of sweet sorrow
—dying to contend
(Dreamsleep: April, 2021)
Since brevity’s the soul of wit,
I briefly might contend
That mine sure has that brief part down:
I’m always at its end.
I have no assets,
only dreams and no
I don't even sell them
for all this
world...
All this world,
it's nothing to contend
with my dreams...
When life is finally nearing an end
By a system of points, we must contend
Was life a success
Performed my best
More points mean a good life I've spent
Granny has found a new trend
With unseen waves to contend
Ironing board skurfing
And living room surfing
Granny's gone off the deep end!

Limerick Contes

On McCain Do Depend
Be president with others John did contend;
To straighten things out and them mend;
Books wrote;
Time did devote;
Always trust McCain and on we will depend.
James Horn
The first casualty of war…
truth
The last casualty of war…
death
Truth fighting death,
beginning to end
Questions unanswered
—gravestones contend
(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2020)
dizzying array of situations...with which to contend
time...that old adversary... has it's way
but it can even mend
moments can quite puzzle
so written words my friend
become my metaphorical muzzle
The time has arrived my good friends
To great heights of stardom, I ascend
The role I have chosen
In the films of motion
A sex idol, the next Clooney I contend

The backlash against CV-19 restrictions erupted
The plan to wear masks and social distance disrupted
Now that the numbers are spiking upward again
Will we have 'whiplash' with which to contend?
Do Away With Electoral College
With others for office should fairly contend;
Remove electoral college and rules amend;
Take a gander,
At gerrymander;
We must only use popular vote in the end.
Jim Horn
I contend be fair
Just as the sword that fought
the fair fight...
not as the cowardly knife
that cuts life without art...
Walking through gardens and chards of glass, roses and thorns contend
Sailing on whitecaps, drowning in fear, blues skies surrender no sun
Souls that are tortured forget how to dance but I will find my song
I glow in the dark
In my living casket
Foul bioluminescent
Engulfed in the scent
Self-offering present
I'll curb the descent
Corpse waters relent
I'm back at the end
From this I contend
My incessant event
Love grows lickety-split
In the innocent hearts of
Children.
Keeping trust and hope alive;
Especially in
The very
Young.
Some
Philosophers contend that
Love
Is unique to
The soul of Man, and I agree.
I celebrate all saints this summer's end,
Who help ward off evil ghost that contend...
Against peace, such BLUE wearer
In guise costumes like sharer
Who feels impact; their sacrilege ascend.
Happy Halloween Day!
Begin at the end
I need no surprise
Reaction to pend
You’ll see in my eyes
How I can contend
Backward we go
Rewind the show
The worst for last
The best so fast
Mad method
Mostly means
More minutes
Saving
Craving
Time.
What I am, you don't know me yet;
I will show you, keep doing wait.
May be I nameless, may be I shameless;
But I know better me, I m not aimless.
May be I am not good, in so many ways;
But I contend, I'll bring my days.
...to be continue...
With your sudden guise
giving Shirley poppies seeds away
To Welford for the snowdrops
in mid February
a hushed garden
with done, knuckled buddleia
rose hips nipped
no surplus food for the birds
Spring like weather
down the South
no snow to contend
At dusky dawn
a scamper of paws
resounds on parquet
and marbled halls.
The Obermeier tinkles
ancient ivory vibrates
in a concerto
of feline chords.
Soprano meows contend
with the garden quartet
of iridescent birds
rapt joyously
in kingly melodies.
It was suggested by someone for whom I have great respect, that I remove this poem and so I did. However, I will contend that any poet who writes with the intent of bringing smiles to the site and who never writes a negative word about anyone, deserves to be respected.
Gravity we take for granted.
With it we all stick to earth.
But then we contend,
For some special spot on the surface,
And meanwhile forget.
Gravity was given to everyone.
So it takes another war to remind us,
That we all have to be someplace.
Gravity requires it.
Pause.
Treading.
Without cause.
Hot breeze, brushed slate.
Apathetic state.
Rooster, without mo/ourning.
Feels of perpetual, missed date.
Query to contend or content.
A penny earned or a blessing sent.
Strive for change or adoption of what's meant.
-Angel Fatale-
Listen to poem:
Two faint stars meet at the edge of night,
Sharing one moment in the hush of twilight.
They cannot contend with the rising Sun,
Nor ask the morning what they have begun.
So they shelter together beneath each other's umbrella,
Sharing a glance, a chance, to write their brief novella.
Contend With Trump A Big Force
To contend with Trump had been a big force,
Regardless if you are off or remain on course;
Horse rode on;
Dusk to dawn;
Count on conditions or can consider source.
