oil flame spirit glow, last ditch
tunnel ray of hope

Mccain Engine Started To Switch
McCain Engine Started To Switch
McCain plane engine should start to switch;
Even though in system there may be glitch;
His engines failed;
Downward sailed;
He bailed out in an effort that is last ditch.

Limerick
Running From the Embryo
Heaped in the same organic embryo
Forget the last ditch effort
To choose beyond the pail
Trading thin-ice thoughts
For a politeness to perpetuate
The flimsy manner of excuse and apology
Your relationship to One
Like the poise of a rising Sun
That same energy to give or take
Stacking collapsibles or elbowing for some space...

The Virtually Perfect Family
Placid waters
Boat, mildly rocking
Cheerful faces
Picture perfect snaps
Posted on social sites
Flattering comments
‘Wonderful family’
Flashback
Happy memories
Happy?
Nay!
Last ditch effort
At calming
Inside turmoil
Save marriage
Children’s sake
Alas!
Unbridgeable difference
Between
‘Perfect family outing’
And
‘Not so perfect family’...

Timing
I’ve heard it said that timing
Is the key to one’s success
And planning works out better
Than most any last-ditch guess.
Yet we can’t predict that circumstance
Will work out as we’d like
For we never know when lightning
Or good fortune just might strike.
On occasion, though, we get someplace
At just the perfect time
With results as unexpected
As good poetry in rhyme....

Efforts to explain without a voice
When you can't breathe
Sometimes you use your last breath to shout it
One last ditch attempt to survive
Which hastens the end
Time moves differently in these moments
After the scream
It is painful and slow
Eked out in measured pain
My throat hurts
My chest hurts
It is hard to think
But time spirals in front of me like an eternity
I can't remember what I wished for
Or what needs to change
I just need to breathe to survive

A Gardeners Valentine
Please be my Valentine!
I'm getting desperate now
That you will never notice me
Somewhere, sometime, somehow
Even though I've tried
To get some of your attention
I'm nowhere on your radar
I never seem to get a mention
I'm feeling quite neglected
And I'm always overlooked
I wish you would spend time with me
Instead of that new book
So in a last ditch effort
I write you this poem in a card
Please be my Valentine!
Love from your overgrown yard...
