was his degree
Rhodes scholar selection

Yet once in the fray
he was easy prey ~
Mettle, reality assayed

From his cocoon
  overlooking the fray

    Truth ablaze

Ash To Snow

From smoke to ash and ash to snow,
I see you drift, 
Flicker,
Glow. 

Grow,
Flutter,
I feel you fray,
From spark to fire and fire to clay.

A Leader They Were Proud Of

Soon we all must enter the fray
And keep this injustice at bay
Thus said the major
Who tripped on the floor
Thus ending the war for that day

Still Night - Wujue

Still night / tall trees dance
Half moon / mild wind blows
Loud day / gloom minds fray
Spring bloom / dense bough glows

Simple Stoke

Tis so sweet to slip the bonds of Earth
to race on back of foam and spray,
to glide in stride on crafted board,
to run out the bestial fray!

After a single dark day, I finally feel okay.
On my way to lay alongside him without feeling any fray.

The Abdicate

Standard bearer,
above the fray

Others follow,
trackless fields

Trailing echo’s,
dead and gone

Then tomorrow
—tomorrow then

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2020)

Fisticuffs At 42

A tussle
A fray
A skirmish
A soiree

A fracas
A fight
A scuffle
A blight

A scrap
A brawl
A melee
A free for all

A quarrel
A clash
A donnybrook
A birthday bash
Form: Quatrain

Pay

Pay, by the way

Is strictly passe

Be above the fray 

Don't bray

Horses eat hay

Their job is to run while others 

Sit on their backs for play

Imagine their day

Sequence 1

The Young,
Though still green,
Are ever sweet;
With good hope in morrow,
They bounce.

The old,
Though now fray,
Still can be sweet;
With replay of old tune,
They dance.

Premium Member I Was a Soldier's Soldier

The cavalry charged, leading the way
     The infantry advanced, joining the fray

   As for me, I was up to a little deviltry
     Donned my goggles ~ battled virtual reality

I'M Sorry

Forget me not, I still love you
Forgive me for all you've been through
Forgo the wrath and all it leads to
Fray and fear will frustrate you
But all shall end in faith and fortitude.

This Fray

Looking back past this blink in time....
Finding his innocent child; had we known
How to save a life I lost a friend, somewhere
Along the way amid life's bitterness silently gazing
Purity's eyes

Premium Member No Plans To Be Awesome

When I woke up this bright and sunshiny day Had no plans to be awesome but what can I say Some of us were made To lead the parade While others follow closely into the fray (SMILE)

Sunset

Sterling tribute to spent fray
Universal trek around milky way
Nexus of night and day
Solar sparks igniting passion play
Enchanting fluorescent light display
Twilight's silver streams night betray
Form: Acrostic

Dragon-Fly!

Dragon-fly! 
Dragon-fly; 
Why are you chained
To the dungeon walls
And why you wail
In monstrous bays.
There is no one in fray
See my charm
My mind the computer CRAY
Generated to shelf you away.

Screw You

In whispers loud, the party's fray
Biden's heart beats, leading astray 
A pardon’s grace
Biden’s choice, a daring face
A whispered "screw you," echoes loud
As Dem party ties unravel, proud

Eyeing Tomorrow

No need to be good
when chasing the great
The moral imperative
deludes and conflates

With blinders on horses
we ride through the fray
Our eyes on tomorrow
— in search of today

(Dreamsleep: May, 2024)
Form: Rhyme

Restoring Hope

Goodbye Joe! 
Now the real job to cope
Is restoring hope
Where truths entwine
A legacy of choices, bitter vine
Sift through Joe Biden crime
And mend the fray
For a future 
And brighter day

Take It Away

JUST TAKE IT AWAY
