I hail the critics
That so doggedly denounced me
Pardon me for my hubris
They said it wouldn’t last
And they were right
Form:
Doggedly pursuing all races, all creeds
hoping to please every last one
The hollow chamber on top of his neck and his shoulders
~ a blank check in the eye of each beholder
autumn's last lone leaf
doggedly clings to bare branch~
as dying man's breath

Beauty
By: Tom Wright
2000
Beauty is skin deep
and therefore, over time,
grudgingly slips away.
Ugliness, however,
penetrates to the bone;
and having the tenacity of a Pit Bull,
appears doggedly locked on
forever.
Converse compulsion in the dust of the day
Doggedly defying its din to abate…
For silence surrounds, it has so much to say -
Appraised to be golden, not measured by weight -
Cajoles with the cascade of calm in coy play,
Listen to silence, it has so much to say.

it's really quite clever
to never utter never
retaining the fun of playful endeavour
seeking mysteries of life forever and ever
past times these words were declared
never again because of how I once fared
then I've reneged developed skills unimpaired
there's little to gain unless once again dared
the message I value don't ever resist
much more satisfying when I doggedly persist
~ Self-Portrait of a Scratchy Artist ~
Oh, it's just a scratch one has to itch
Even if in one's voice there's a hitch
And in every attempt an annoying glitch
The finished product never going to make one rich
Yet if one doggedly continues to itch
Onlookers, sooner or later, may twitch
He will finally have found his special niche
As a writer of poems liberally categorized as kitsch
Emma, Empress of Unicorn Empire,
esprit de corps of elementary school,
expeditious at exaggerating expression,
eagerly extending empathy of enormous embrace,
endless enthusiasm, exuberant existence.
Deacon, Duke of derring-do,
diligently, doggedly daily to delightful displays
of dauntless daredevil, destruction,
determined gamer, droll demeanor,
dearly dedicated to devouring desserts,
Dad's double, diplomat of Dreamland.
the first week
is absolute hell ...
"gym rust"
an enemy
one must doggedly...
battle and
conquer;
challenging,
no doubt,
but a fight...
worth fighting.
with consistency
one starts to see results
if...
weight loss is top goal.

Daylight is wide-eyed, it glares
like an angry samurai.
We are pinned down
naked to the piecing sun.
It's all too exposing -
the heat flays and burns.
A violent light fries sunscreens,
drills through sunhats
while we blink under gritty lids.
The humidity drains,
we slouch, crouch,
strain out our words.
Its’ a dry dog time
where doggedly nothing wags.
We dream of cooling winds,
of those days
when a salty sweat did not
dry-out our lolling tongues.
