Short Endeavoring Poems

every clergy is an ox
wearing heavy yoke
drawing wooden plow
across the farmland
of people’s vibrant sins
endeavoring to weed
the mess in their souls...

I must be endeavoring;
Complimenting reveling;
While my minds racing;
And my heart dancing;
~
The tapestry of my soul;
Yours to behold to hold;

On the Open Seas
Hoping to see me
Mirroring shadow on the shore
Endeavoring Horizon my eyes implore
Seas visions now my face is in the skies

Asses Bray Constantly,

Defiantly Endeavoring Freedom,

Gaining Hellacious Injuries!

Joking Kentuckians Leap

Midgets Near Ohio,

Pondering Quilted Rugs -

Scientists Traveling, Understand:

Vampires Witholding Xrays,

Tough Times Don't Last
(But Tough People Do)
By: Miracle Man
1/18/2019

At this time of life,
Many things are obligatory.

Each day I feel as if,
I'm Oaring a Dory.

Most days I'm forced,
To embrace the mundane.

Endeavoring to escape,
Constant stress or pain.

Caress the aching tears of 'morrows
it rains in regret's remembrances,
sustained of sand-like grit 'tween frothy
mimsy and mayhem endeavoring to
rise above the fray within prayer's favor mid
 escaped disconcertion of seeping hourglass sand,
weeping 'neath copious cloudbursts...

There's an aphotic place; found within my percipience
Endeavoring; I will face it past, present, future-tense
My hope is that its destination; is evanescence
Support in overcoming it, you; will my persistence
As everything is rising to a convergence
May that one percent; never find its resurgence...

The head of every classroom.

Educated individuals endeavoring to share.

Approaching students with excellent information.

Creatively stretching energetic minds.

Helping enthusiastic students learn all they can.

Encouraging eager students to reach their goals.

Receiving the blessing of getting through to enduring students.

Service for an everlasting challenge....

Acquiesce
(ak-wee- ESS”
By: Miracle Man
12-5-2019

I’ve never been accused of having finesse,
I get to the point without using much tact. 
Most times without showing acquiesce,
I cover the bases, without being abstract.

But now, I’m endeavoring to gingerly tread,
Yet sometimes I still become exasperated.
So to others my words won’t be misread,
 My conversation abruptly becomes truncated.

Sparring With Pain
Written: by Tom Wright
10-21-2016

Entering each day’s fight I’ve total disdain,
The fighter I face uses the moniker, pain,
I hook and jab endeavoring to stay on top.
His presence I may slow but rarely can stop.

I’ve tried to drug him but that didn’t work,
So I’ve reached a conclusion that’s quite sage.
It hasn’t been ring savvy, grit, or footwork,
Pain unmasked revealed my true foe was Age.

Echoes of brilliant blue as it dims at dusk,
a rebirth in the sweet scent of cool moist earth.
A lapis lazuli before dawn, mere husk,
a bond with no interest in severing.
Subdued by loving and ever endeavoring
to pluck the ripened unearth passion fruit worth
the heart of the ocean both wild and calm musk.

Endeavoring to earn a needle in a high stack. 
Such a story could be said to be pebbly. 
I'd admire to be by a moving plane slack. 
Step onward to the top mark of the mountain. 
To discover Paradise, I'll sail the ocean. 
Then, the matchless clock began to strike badly. 
However, I hide behind a delicate, humble fiction. 
Lose all resources totally in a fantasy yack.

Overflowing Pride
Written: by Tom Wright
November 2015

With remains now scattered to forever meander,
Let my pride in his armed service remain swollen.
Now seated in muteness and with mental gander,
Endeavoring to call back years that I deem stolen;

Though Joe’s ashes now rest in some field alone,
And many, perchance, will blank out his name.
He will never become just a disregarded stone, 
But an additional reminder of war’s cruel game;

Listen to poem:

*Image of Vulnerability by The Conversation.

Coma

Endeavoring eyes opened
to the nothingness ere it.

Harkening labyrinths aches
to the silence yond.

Alone spoke I and
loneliness echoed
in faint whispers.

There remains
a trace of me
airing silently

the breath of
belonging.

By the gray rivers flowing, the recently revived,
bob along like Champaign corks in the swift current.

The dead always pop too soon,
even when
you pull their corks with long lamentations.
The fizz-fuse keeps burning.

Morning finds them on-going,
restored and drifting among the detritus
of our own sad endings.

They are not ghosts, you gave them names,
but they do not answer when you call.
They instead, bump against the riverbanks
endeavoring to once again, come ashore....

I was incapable of embracing the darkness
Before I walked the light
A midst my mighty covering
 I am endowed and endeavoring
 I was unable to hear through my eyes
But yet I could see in the dark
I am embraced by the hands of a mighty God
He surrounds me covers me
He sends his angels with their wings
To  help me fly away above my dreams and everything
This is why I sing
I amidst my mighty covering

God Bless the USA
Written: by Tom Wright
7-9-2016

If you’re dissatisfied with your place in the world,
For whatever rationale, take my advice and move.
Try soaring beyond the situation you’re found in,
Stop endeavoring to pull others into your groove;

Location won’t change the pigment of your skin, 
Or dismantle the presence of discrimination's sprawl.
Let prejudice never become a cause of our chagrin,
While not letting the actions of a few define us all.
