WHEN MET WITH COLD CLIMATE;
DESTROYERS OF DREAMS,
AND SMOTHERERS OF HOPES,
REMEMBER ALWAYS,
DISCOURAGING LIGHTS,
ALWAYS REFLECT TRUE SPIRITS,
TEN TIMES BIGGER!!!,
WITH INVINCIBLE MIGHT!!!!!

Discouraging words were uttered to him 
They tried to halt him from reaching his dream 
But he did his very best 
He tried hard to reach his quest 
He was too deaf to hear their daunting scream

It is not a discouraging word
but, according to one, is a turd.
F-A-R-T
is not pretty
and in Parliament should seldom be heard

*bit of a row over use of the word “fart” during a session of the Canadian Parliament — search “canadian fart” to read the article on BBC news...

Let Them Talk... 

If they keep talking
keep walking
if they keep gossiping
keep ignoring
if they keep cursing
keep on blessing
if they keep on insulting
keep on praying
if they keep discouraging
keep hard-working
keep succeeding
keep winning.

so many poems 
words of useless rime
so many love songs
that live no life of mine
so many great speeches 
that i want to succeed
so many discouraging words
that wont hurt me
so many encouraging words 
that lift my spirit
but as a poem 
let me say 
this is my way

A muffin 
Mends every broken heart
And will
Never not miss you 
Dearly when you've gone
Away.

A muffin like
Mine 
Always has your heart
Near to hers and 
Doesn't ever leave it 
All alone.

A 
Muffin is
A 
Never 
Discouraging and best friend 
A girl could ever have.


Dedicated to my best friend and Muffin

When dusky, purple clouds cross the restless sky,
the angry moon frowns with whispered sigh.
Darkened storms threaten to weep,
discouraging sleep
where dreamers
lie.
Star streamers
stare and proudly peep,
promising soft light will sweep
welcome diversion to weary eye
when dusky, purple clouds cross the restless sky....

Discouraging others 
Expecting instant respect 
Fingering a bad guy 
Imagining worst scenario 
Negating someone’s accomplishments 
Irritating people in a mean way 
Tasting caviar 
Eating slimy oysters 
Laughing at a person’s misfortune 
Yelling about people I have never met 

Needling a nefarious never-do-well-er
Ostracizing an ostrich 
Tackling a Tiger...

I’m sure that what you seek
Is at some cloud-veiled peak
That could pick up more than a week
For a nearing by The Weak;
To be soon skinny that is sleek 
And mentally thwarted – A freak 
This proving by easily sounding Greek …

And-Gosh!-already, I picked out a beak
About to on it havoc wreak
Or leave an unseemly streak …

It is sure, a discouraging prophecy
But Wasted Effort is no legacy....

It is here-
Twenty-Twenty-Four
a new book-
three hundred
and sixty-five
blank pages
to fill up.
All too fast
they'll unfold
to shape our world.
Will this new volume
answer questions-
fulfill promises
for a new year
more rewarding
than the last?
God, send us 
good judgment
to choose leaders
who will shape
a story
more uplifting
than last year's
discouraging-
written tale.

Malt-o-Meal sitting on my desk
Left over from last year
Found in a box I never unpacked
in August and this is April 25th

Cleaning is not my thing;
Even when I do it no one appreciates it
And no one knows
For there are no obvious clues.

So here I sit, 
Enjoying my hovel 
Finding whatever I need
Knowing it will be here again tomorrow

Discouraging others
From disturbing me
or my mess that 
Completes me....

Attitude 
Tom Wright
11-10-2016

Discouraging words are uttered every day,
And the most hurtful I hear is “I don’t care.”
Dudes get uptight when not getting their way,
That is more lamebrain than a barrel of hair.

Not caring about things is a bad place to live,
And from our vocabularies we should abolish.
Thinking only of one’s self with nothing to give,
Exposes us as being thoughtless and smallish;

Two years ago 
Man started defending 
A war with virus
Now still going on
Man's throne is unstable 
New deputy is rising up one by one 
Soon out of control
Unknown and discouraging 
Many have given up and gone
Pity the man 
Pity the digital world
Pity the innocents who have departed
Without knowing what really happened
Even those still alive are wondering 
Who will be the king 
In the next dynasty
The man or the virus...

How beautiful you were
Your love flourished and did transfer
To us upon with ambitious dreams
And love for each did stir.

You flitted about, to each one nourishing 
Not in discouraging but, encouraging.

To say, “It’s going to be all right.”
And the future is in your sight.”

With God's grace and never His absence. 
You climbed the stairs into the arms with guidance.
And in His favor manifest love spellbind 
Comfort to those you had left behind....

A new guest in my home was recently welcomed.
He's not a person, he's a terrapin.
Lucky is the name I have given him
because he was lucky I was around when I rescued him.
By the trash in a small fish bowl is where I found him.
His owners must have gotten bored with him.
This is one reason why I find people so discouraging.
Why couldn't they have simply released him?
I don't plan on keeping Lucky indefinitely.
When he's grown large enough to fend for himself, I'll set him free....
