Again, you gave writing a go;
In shame you now hang your head low.
You once had a sonnet
Or two in your bonnet;
Now limericks are all that you know.

One that would make me heal

One that would free my mind and make me clean

Nary a criminal or a boozer ~

Now which one is the lesser loser

Pride who elevates itself
For worth does overshadow
The lesser and low
More tyrant general's, king's
From horse and dais mounted
A god's robes outspread.

Where the Darkness Begins

the
ray of darkness
where
God
only knows 
is 
breaking apart
no lesser God
where
the
darkness begins
through
the
power and majesty of
almighty God

Premium Member Light of Lesser Degree

One does not look at the sun
unshaded, often how we approach 
truth for the sake our children,
for the sake of the novice, nibbling
at the edges of faith....

Confession

The flower was almost perfect.
The bloom only ever so slightly flawed.
Fewer or lesser leafage would have been nice,
in spite of this
she married this idiot anyway.

Getting Dressed Mad

Getting dressed he's much the aggressor
His restraint couldn't be any lesser 
He yanks on his pants
With grumbles and rants
That's why they call him a cross dresser!

Premium Member Lapse - Mar 4

A loathsome lecher lurks along the long,
Lightless ledge, looking to lure a lost lamb
To lewd license, liquor, and lowlife lurch—
To the lesser lying league and layer.

The Wheelchair

I have no control.
I’m helpless.
I’m lesser.
I’m stuck.

Am I then or now?

I got stuck in the sensible plan of looking after my foot.

The physical pain would have been better.

Stars, sky lights, mark the way like the dog's tail of the Lesser Bear; cynosure's flag, the North Star, sea dogs' eyes.

Guardian Age

The older I get
the lesser the pain
the gentler the words
—a healing refrain

The older I get
the sweeter the song
as memory protects 
—myself to belong

The Poet

she spurned the jewel I offered
thinking it of lesser value
than one she could wear on her finger
then why did I try?
because I am a poet
and have no greater treasure
than words from my heart
