Old habits 
die hard,
yet I find 
I’ve relinquished
my search for
a perfect lover
to focus on
maintaining this
imperfect love
with you....

There once was a man with a stave
Overseeing a holy enclave ...
      Well, maintaining a grin
      While absolving the sin,
He assessed wicked tales and forgave...

Chase dreams maintaining
The reality present 
Avoiding subterfuges
That compromise your 
Integrity or values 
Walking with your head held high

Unconventionally more,
more or less.
More isn’t much more,
nor is less anymore less.
Time and faith, 
maintaining keen perspective.
Inconspicuously but fundamentally,
it is... undeniably more....

every direction.
Every insight, sight, every view.
That's where you find ME, MINE, &
Every tone, complexed complexion,
Direction,
maintaining every struggled hue!

Five lines, that's it, that's all I can write
My attention span has flew the coop, taken flight
Sure age is a factor
Think I'll become a actor
Maintaining my flamboyant lifestyle every night...

Demanding and Commanding

Once in our world did exist understanding;
Being replaced by controlling and demanding;
Canter of attention;
We must mention;
Maintaining a lead constantly commanding.

Used to enjoy making love when company came over
Really exciting, adds a thrill to a roll in the clover
Even more of a thrill
When guests join at will
Offering advice while maintaining their composure...

Used to enjoy making love when company came over
Quite exciting, added a big thrill to a roll in the clover
Even more of a thrill

Maintaining his distance,
Dylan felt safe 

A musical drifter
not born for one place 

His words once released,
to live on their own 

The road calling windward
—far from his home

Mass Hysteria Horn Limerick

Mass hysteria might be miniscule
Unless like Trump you are a fool
Not knowing what he wants to do
Being dimwitted one of the few
Has hard time maintaining cool.

Sure sounds like Trump to me.

On the ground, we wander around
Places near and far
Up in the air, the head’s despair
Of all thoughts inner bound
It’s plain to see, where we want to be
Visualized in our minds
Following the source, maintaining ones course
The path we truly believe...

You say you appreciate my imagination and play on words
this attitude of mine needs maintaining
as much as a sound needs to be heard
the opinion of what my work does fascinates me 
so this poem's from me to you
a heartfelt thank you
with complete sincerity...

Trump Should Know

Trump should know there are many schools,
Of thought that always try to avoid all fools;
Like idiot  blooming,
Himself is grooming;
Going around in circles like thread in spools.

                    current, timely
        maintaining, availing, receiving

I am the guardian of the land and the seas
entrusted with the care of the beasts
bears, birds, and butterflies
maintaining an ecological balance is my goal
I take my job seriously
Ask the mountains, forests and the seas
Ask the botanists and biologists
Mother Nature is my name...

Mandates
Haiku: by Tom
10/29/2021

Mandates are edicts
meant to pilfer our freedoms;
cleverly thought out.

What is the essence of America?
Finding and maintaining that perfect,
delicate balance between freedom “to” and freedom “from.”
Marilyn Vos Savant

forces of repulsion leads
to attrac tion eventually
ageing brown tree swings
her shapely hips
i like circles
law of super position
of the field of joy
and peace dance
we are maintaining
our originality here
structural frame work
leads to stability the temples
are ruined though...

Constantly is one
Contacting you is keeping alive
And loving you despite the distance
Is a gentle rain
Rapidly to dampen
Loneliness that hamper and threatens
Thus,  energizing and maintaining
Our LOVE
And repotting, therefore is for existence
And likens a life supporting device....

The epitome of efficiency

women juggled

daily chores
 
babies

and

their

husbands

all the while

maintaining both

their dignity and femininity.
