Crisp brutal cold night
                                       three horses hauls a gilt troika, 
                                         through the snowy roads...

If a golfer who’s clumsy and falls
Loses grip on the clubs that he hauls
	He'd trip on a trap
	With wood in his lap
And have problems in finding his balls!

shroud of mist entombs
eerie silence takes a hold

sun hauls back those drapes

Pond Across The Road


How brazen the turtle called painted!
His friends watched in horror! then feinted!
Zag that way! Zig here!
Missed the truck that hauls beer!
A miracle! they called him! then sainted!...

Underestimation, unpredictability 
My cannon hauls the weight of the world 
In your direction
And your dodging capabilities are neglecting to serve you
Resources low
Resources lo

Resources…
Nonexistent...

Eggwagon hauls the future
Within her steamy womb
Caviar of destiny
Fragile and pure

Eggwagon requires
Sidewalks quite smooth
Maternal slope of peace
Genesis in transit

Rocks and bumps of hate
Zygotes in turmoil
Fissures of neglect
The shame of who you are...

Pete's parson preached when you're dumped in the grave

     You can't take those things with you that you crave

          But afraid to take a chance

               Pete arranged far in advance

                    For U-Hauls in case he could cop a waive...

to the contest syllable count. i like it better, though!...

They moved in on Sunday,
a bright and sunny day,
the first black family on the block.
They drove up in two U-Hauls
and slowly carried furniture 
in the house as neighbors
watched from behind the blinds.
It was as if U-Hauls were camels 
and terrorists had arrived.

Whenever she nudges
She hauls agony
Endows endless happiness

Pulling others' sadness
Bracing tonnes of secrets
She often grins

Every now and then
Enduring rain and sun
She dances blissfully
 
Embracing people
Being livelihood for many
She persistently works
Never takes rest...

   Combined as one.
   Makes a person wonder,
   Is this the one?

   Easy ride.
   Lift the gate,
   Let them inside.

   Thought of a truck,
   Or pull behind.
   Nothing left to chance or left behind.

   Make a note.
   U-Haul's could be the best tote,
   Or a drain on your brain.

   U-Hauls carry,
   All we own,
   Never alone.

He comes
He comes out of somewhere near the North Pole.
They say the wears all red and black.
He drives a sled pulled by reindeer.
The hauls toys and gifts to good boys and girls.
He is fat and loves to drink milk and eat cookies.
He is very quiet when he comes.Putting those gifts under the tree.
He comes on Dec 25th of every year. We call him Satna Claus.
But all we know is that he comes....

There's a wind that hauls yon
It's like a thin rope I step on
A fragile path I,alone can see
Despite my limbs, yet to be free

Comes a tidal assault
As wild as the lightning bolt
The water's extreme unfriendliness
Sends me to my weakest tenderness

But with my core embedded and guarded
Raging with fire cannot be defeated
I live like the earth's body
And this love for you is that fire within me...

In bed Don loves wearing his gold
Where billionaire's come to the fold  
They need not hold loins
But just buy Trump coins
While we work till we're dead and old

Trump’s deals concern what he can break
It’s how this Don hauls in his take
The rich on him spend
As they must depend
On what they’ve kissed his ass to make

His son’s payoff struck them as bad
Republicans hate Hunter’s dad
But they won’t ascribe
Meme coins as a bribe
And part of Trump’s theft launching pad...
