The Racehorse

That horse ain't wild
Though he's as wild as they come
Defying stern expectation
Deciding when to run

Now we will choose for him
His spirit broken in due course
Though there still is something wild
About that racehorse

Holy War

Blood of Christ you cleanse  us
And from our sin You save
Who will now save us 
from the Holy War they rave
Love of God and Love of Man
If to them were explained
I think then in due course 
the Brutal Blood Bath would wane

Footnotes

We all become
stories
at the end
of the day

The true
and the false
the black
and the grey

The plot lines
will vary
the ends
in due course

As history
remembers
with joy
— and remorse

A Stack of Trouble

A quirky young farmer named Ted
Used haystacks instead of a bed.
His wife in due course
Applied for divorce
'For that was the last straw!' she said.

Folly

Fanfarons run amok Frowsting in stupidity Farouche in mind, words and deeds Fastuous yet in demeanor Farrago collectives formed there from Ferulaceous in nature thus bending Falling or breaking in due course
Inspired by Kim Merryman's Pleiades F - Poetry Contest "Facets" was my entry into said contest


Mythomaniac

The words stumble from her lying
Mouth while her obtuse mind struggles
For likely continuity.
In due course the lie emerges
Full-blown, ready for deceiving
An innocent, unsuspecting
Host singled-out as the target.
This pathological liar
Fabricates the fundamentals
In a way that’s favorable
To her in case she is challenged.
There is no motive to look for
Because there really isn’t one.
She must lie and she’s good at it.

Rest In Peace Augustus McCrae

The image you left us
still burns in the sand
Through prairies and rivers
your spirit expands

With always a smile
what had to be done
You did with a flourish
a true Texas son

My hopes they rode with you
as you ventured North
All foes you enveloped
their fates in due course

And only one cowboy
was struck with your brand
but millions of dreamers
— still wait your command

Premium Member Simple Pleasures

Simple pleasures
Like all the rest
Will come and go 
But without stress

Since they simply
Fade in due course
Without grasping
Can hold no force

To keep us bound
In habits strong
With mind confused
By right or wrong

For what has been
Or soon may be
Just falling leaves
From every tree

Since easy come
And easy go 
This easy wind
Our troubles blow

To bring us here
And leave us now
This sacred space
Of nameless Tao

Coming Back Home

Countless falling of leaves bit by bit,
Out of my window I stare everyday.
Memories of my home haunts me,
In the lonely hours of the day.
Nevertheless I console my soul,
Gonna meet everyone soon.
Bewildered and puzzled,
After all its been ages.
Counting days and nights,
Knowing that my home is sheer fine.
Home where my soul lies,
Often in my dream I cherish,
Me, the most happiest I suppose,
Entering my home in due course.

Nothing Gold Can Stay

Nature has a way of lending then transcending 
every season in due course has her own remorse 
When summer flowers faint, without constraint  
the Autumn leaves assemble and then disassemble 
Sunshine gives her glows, then hard to hold it goes 
even starlight in the sky with the dawn it has to fly 
In the night the moon is swept but by day it is inept
like the golden poppy's way, nothing gold can stay
No, nothing gold can stay...
