Short Diligently Poems

Deal diligently;
Ego energize enmity, 
Fury fortitude fires 
Grudge glorious gratitude....

Matters that concern the spirit

Should never be done in haste

Diligently they must be treated

And wisely ought to be paced!

gas masks flung hither and yon
Rarely bother me
This one is different
placed precariously
diligently watching me
plotting my demise
planning my slow horrible death
I run off screaming...

Dangling diligently daring Debbie’s duos tries
Testing twin trapezes two ton Tony dies
did dangling Debbie dilgently try?

Comments from audience upon recitation.
"Meow" "Purrrrrrrrrrrrr"...

Whatever sin you commit
do it diligently

Whatever promise you make
count the costs

Whatever love you commit to
include some degree of deception

Whatever ambition you have
pursue as a lunatic...

Desires to be a better person.
Reaching up high even when feeling low.
Everyday going after what you want.
Always working diligently.
Motivating yourself to seeing,
Success streaming as a river.

Too many words..

Seems the condition

Of users of words..

Words qualifying words

Qualifying and confusing..

Wearying to the one

Seeking diligently to

End seeking..as the ending

Is hidden by words......

diligently does his job quite well
grateful for any break or perks
seeks extra way to help boss
helps whoever needs him
assists everyone

I gaze upon the night sky
And notice that the star are glittering happily
I stare upon the river in spring 
And notice that the fish are swimming diligently
I look upon the morning sun
And pray that there will be tomorrow...

Danny diligently drew delightful dinosaurs
Delightful dinosaurs Danny diligently drew
If Danny diligently drew delightful dinosaurs-
Where are the dinosaurs Danny diligently drew?
Whew!


For the dinosaur contest..(obviously)...

A
Bird
Cartwheeling
Diligently,
Ever
Frightfully 
Gaining
Height
In
Jumbled 
Knightly 
Loops,
Moaning
Never
Once,
Perhaps 
Queenly 
Reigned
Sky
Took
Unnecessary 
Vices
Wherever 
Xiang
Yankee
Zaps.

Vigorous, plentiful
vines, diligently pruned
venture trained upon wire,
vast leaves cropped for dolmas.
Valued for complex taste,
vermillion morsels make
vintage wine with patience.

Dancing Done Diligently

Well accepted and very inviting,
And pretty soon you will realize,
Does seem so easy to sumarize.

Dancing always will be a display
Of what we have heard people say
Your pain and agony are relieved;
God all of your sins has retrieved....

I knew all along
there was a place
a purpose for me
I've searched diligently
grasped strongly
debased with desire
Wanted too much
to see the goal
Now I surrender
and you come to me
with caresses and care
to ease my burden
and be my special love
with gifts from above...

I see you
In your flower
That I wear on my chest
I fully expect to bear you too
Angels know what’s best
Unsuspecting of my gaze
You hide yourself
In your flower
That’s fading from my chest
Diligently
 I feel you
Yes
It is
Loneliness


Ref
Emily Dickinson
"With A Flower"...

Search within
for any inherent flaws
Examine yourself,
and find the root cause

Search deeper still
for any inherited sins
Lay your soul bare,
give to God a pure offering

Search continually,
examine diligently
Nonstop, no pause
Until you have uncovered 
the elusive root cause...

Uninteraptently,
In God's mines of:
Love, 
Compassion, and 
Virtue, he,  
Diligently, worked all lifelong
Thus
Incalculable riches, his soul
Succeeded in amassing 
That 
Lasted for his entire journey on earth, 
And that of heaven!

Hit your head against the proverbial wall
Your everyday Nafferti in stucco
carries the wind
but being only seventeen
whose opinions ran counter to the realm

Pale daughters yawn diligently
They've lost the art of commitment
Are they truly free ?
Talking in whispers
the World does not care...

Residual Affects

There are effects that became residual;
For some could never be conventional,
And from day to day do vary and vary,
As cows diligently give milk in a dairy;
Hopefully environment is conditional.

Condition of environment is cause
of many things that are created.

Sanctified and holly day
All mankind happily rejoice
Browsing the bible the whole day
Bowing down to God with praise
Another day is on the corner
Thundering sweet temptations
Humans are crying for divine protection

Diligently watching and waiting
A trumpet to solemnly blow
Yes, here is our salvation

There was this keen perfectionist named Jack,
each night before starting to stride the track
he’d enter the bathroom
to diligently groom,
return to see she’d by then hit the sack.

Diligently she
labors
gluing 
her splintered heart
   fragments
back   together

But there's a missing piece
that just seems to be gone...
she's looked   everywhere 
   just everywhere

Must be   you took it
   when you walked
   out the door,
Stuffed it    
   in your pocket
and forgot
to give it back....

Let our art stop the hate
We’ll do it diligently, at any rate.

Make God our soulmate
Don’t let the devil be a surrogate

Bring back the dignity it ate
It has used its angel face as bait

It is never too late
to let love melt life’s frozen gate

From our doubts we will vacate
Through our words we will all relate...

Love and Loss
©January, 2014

They say it is better
To have loved and lost,
Than to have never loved
 And have emotions tossed.

To see a loved one
Go carelessly astray,
Is difficult to do more 
Than to diligently pray.

To hope that someday
Their return you’ll see,
Is a constant prayer
That you earnestly plea....

Fierce Kansas wind whips notebook out of my hand
Rapidly flips through the pages, tearing them off one by one
As if an unseen hand of a spiritual critic is at work.
Diligently slicing them off, as if they are no good.
I laugh as I chase the pages around the yard
Wondering if I will have the nerve to publish any of them now....
