I Hail the Critics

I hail the critics
That so doggedly denounced me
Pardon me for my hubris
They said it wouldn’t last
And they were right

    hoping to please every last one

Premium Member Beauty

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.

Premium Member Listen To Silence It Has So Much To Say

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. September 6, 2021

Premium Member Never say Never

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

Premium Member A Scratch One Has To Itch

~ 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

Premium Member Emma and Deacon

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.

Premium Member Exercise Regimen


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.

Dry Dog Days

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.
