we must credit with the first ever Tomahawk Dunk
in between riffs
he was in no way discouraged by his occasional whiffs.

Premium Member Under the veil of grief

Her wish can never be.
She blows out birthday candles with effort.
Scarcely holding back the tears.

a butterfly lands gently on her hand
~ suddenly she slights her doubts

A Blade of Grass

The beauty in a blade of grass is
No matter how many times
You cut it down,
It always rises again,
Growing taller than before
It never gets discouraged.

film was costly

black fifties phones

Annihilated crucified smeared
Smashed dribbled drowned

Premium Member Fallen Friendship

We walk together every day

reminiscing on the daily family occurrence

till one day I tripped and fell.

I dwell discouraged, 

never to have my best friend again

Premium Member Misunderstood

she reached out
wanting to shout
but he wasn't there
she thought he didn't care
a silent scream
a bitter dream
could not cope
lost all hope
she went away
he hoped she'd stay

Always Take Flight

Always take flight 
And lift yourself up 
Do not be discouraged 
Reach for the top
With a valiant effort 
Along with drive and ambition 
Just go for the gold
Focus and put yourself in a favorable position

Let Your Steps

Let your steps 
Lead you to the right path 
Continue on your journey
You can get your strength back 
Do not be discouraged 
If you take a tumble and fall 
Just regain that fire 
And learn to stand up tall

Untitled #217 / Scholars' Bowl

That’s why I’m not too discouraged
at Farragut’s poor performance at
this weekend’s Scholars’ Bowl tournament
for those who beat us were
memorizing lists of important names
rather than putting
themselves on the list

We

Thusly
A thought
The first letter
A sentence ensues
The paragraph develops
A chapter has been inscribed
The new story can be ascertained
A position on the bookshelf is reserved
The copywriter will never be discouraged

Tear Perfume

I shed my tears to Jesus
Like pearls , He found them special

He gathers every one of them
and stores them in a vessel.

Now when I am discouraged
and when I start to cry,

I can smell a scent of Tear perfume
as Jesus passes by

Premium Member Driverless Car

from the    passenger seat
she watches    life 
sliding past     out her window.
   so many u-turns
   so many deadends
   going the ‘long way’ 
   driving the ‘wrong way’
and never    quite    ever
reaching    her destination.

Without You

The music muted
the poetry has disintegrated
the inner voice trembled...
The beauty flower withered
my soul cried
my heart broke
my faith got discouraged
my step lost the way
I lost myself without you
without you I am not me.,,, !

Premium Member Cannot Uplift Mrs Negativity

I am downhearted, discouraged, dejected, downcast.
Ms. Positive said “You need to look up, for positives and fast.”
I am disheartened, dismayed, down in the dumps she replied.
Determined to be miserable, hopeless, sad, an expert who cried.
