Eve made from Adam
first sin causes them to fall
Men now fend alone...

just a piece of you
needed to fend off the blues...  
lonely river flows.

so where do I live
in a tent in the woods
shelter kicked me out
after 90 days
with no other
place to stay
I had to fend
for myself...

Be an elitist!
Let the poor fend for themselves!
They do not matter!
So, be dishonest!
Cheat them out of their money,
Since they deserve it....

A legend you are, I cannot pretend
How inexplicable! Your roles ascend
Helps you lend; who can comprehend?
You fend, defend; my faults you mend
No end to bend. He is my best friend....

She
Felt some
Emotion
Because she had been
Left orphaned, at  age five
Her father died from rabies
Leaving five children alone
To fend for themselves,'til on their own

featureless blur

sharp rapier claws
fend a black featureless blur...
death is no lap cat

Eighty years old and still motoring along
Not quite as spry but my breath is still strong
Can fend off attackers
A real firecracker
Just breathe on 'em and they succumb before long

Haiku #12, 079-12,080...............................................Free Will

One man tend zillions
images my heart can't fend
Flesh, bones, pure ashes

One ill demagogue
Demented beyond compare
Ran himself to hell.

The ladies all love me, well, they they love my parts
Have to fend them off with a stick, their love's off the charts
No big surprise
With my two crossed eyes
And a body to die for especially my large naughty parts...

Jan Allison gave me a grinning big chuckle
Only wish she met my quirky Uncle Buckle
She might have to fend off
Then she may have to cough
A mighty big yowl to scare a honey suckle

A ragged cloud from horn-filled hell
Restlessly tumbles and yaws
A silent beam, bounced off this cell
Made echoes hooked like claws

Now the swirling serpent comes again
Caught by radar’s sweep
Against a snake the souls must fend
And wake from slumber deep...

My footwear in hand,
Trousers folded up to fend,
Dunk in tide I stand,

Unsteady a bit,
Sands under feet digging pits
When two huge waves hit

Splashing sea water,
Wetting me and all my wits,
Clueless I totter.

A light
of the hallway chase a loving husband.
To see the only foam is the presence
of a formula.
Up seeks the name 
of a blamer.
A friend takes a quo 
of the noisy neighbors.
Too much winding is enough 
of the spam toil.
A fend disposes the quilt
of the spoil....

Original Poetry?

As poets are we to be condemned?

For every verse and rhyme
To check its providence.

Do we have the time
To produce the evidence
Of copyright, so as to fend
Off the stigma and shame.

Never to be able to publish again....

Wrapped up 
Kept up 
Gagged and bound 
Lost and found 
Running 
Stunning 
All the same 
Say  my name 
Ans shut down 
Never frown 
Dry your eyes 
No one dies 
It's the end 
Non need to fend 
Just carry on 
And wait till down 
Then you will see 
It was always me....

I close
my eyes to fend
off all sad scenes from sight
but my mind is not always shut
it lets the biting ants of pain come in
crawling through every narrow slit
tormenting me endless
in fear, my eyes
I close

I won’t shop Black Friday
because I’m not ready
to fend for my life
in a scene rough and heady.

So call me a coward!
You won’t see me fight ‘em,
and risk getting maimed
for a much-desired item.

All by yourself with no one else to quiet all the silence.
Left to fend for answer's all alone up on the fence.
Only you to see the truth with eye's so full of tears.
Nobody there to show they care to help you through the years.
Everlasting emptiness with no one there sweet to caress....

Ferociously fought Footballer's in Fray 
French storm did Italians fend off fairly
Materazzi muttered malicious mouthful
Zinedan Zidane zealous - headbutt was calous
Chest of foe concave became
Fell to pitch - victim o' Zidane
Red card issued - final curtain
Frenchies lose - Zidane for certain...

your love is like an angel no one knows it exist,
then your love is like a fend i can't resist.
your love is the force that is so strong, but feels so wrong.
your love is like a desire that sets my soul on fire.
your love is something i don't understand, but then your love is what  makes you
the perfect man...

A Devil's ad

How do we tell

If Earth's about

To go to hell?

Two leaders, dim

Twice immature

Consider carnage

Cogent cure

If in the midst

Of dueling ids

Cans get kicked

While blowing lids

That final conflict

Fools will fend

Reaping us ALL

Our dusty ...

END....

Ferociously fought Footballer's in Fray on Field,
Italian storm did French fend off fairly for a time;
Materazzi muttered malicious mouthful,
Zinedan Zidane zealous; headbutt callous
Chest of foe concave became
Fell to pitch, 'nother victim o' Zidane
Red card issued, final curtain
Frenchies lose, Zidane for certain....

The once virgin
weeps to the past;
wrapping her legs... 
               in and 
out of a white island


Solitude will never be vouched for
Her lips have lost
brass

Her praise was not followed
                Her eyes could not
bring him to stay

There he left;
desserting just a body,
               leaving an animal to fend...

In the backyard seen
A black squirrel running
The blackbird chasing
A small black squirrel
The blackbird hungry

It is trying to steal
Some of the eggs laid
Blackbird is on guard
Protecting the eggs
The nest on the fur trees

The squirrel no longer
Are fed the peanuts
Now that it is Spring
They must fend for themselves...
