Nelly the Calm Owl

All the wild critters run a race
But Nelly maintains a calm pace
So calm in her ways
Her actions display
No feathers ever ruffled out of place!

She'd Love To Fire Her Boss

bitter words fester
through the stench of his glare
and the ugliness of his heart
she maintains her poker face

Caught In a Daydream

eyes wide open 
so continue to stare
here's where the tempo picks up
and the rhythm maintains 
caught in a daydream 
pause in a refrain

Mango

Mangiferin crammed,
Magnificent fruit king...
Mingled with vitamins,
Minerals and fibers
Makes marvelous milkshakes...
Maintains mental health by
Marring malefic moods...

Crown of Creation

   Mosquitos beat their wings
     Man beats his chest
   In order to prove
     that he is the best

   Mankind maintains he’s
     the ‘Crown of Creation’
   Though his coronation’s undone
     by malarial invasions

The Lake Shrine

Ancient building, columns define.   Eden’s forever garden hidden.  Indelibly juxtapositioned kaleidoscopic lake maintains numerous orchidaceae.  Porticos’ quaint, reclused, sequestered.  Tetrastylon unseen villa’s with xystus, Yogananda’s Zen.

- Ticking Time -

    Time is reality
    A deck of cards
    with a joker
    Coincidences
    does make a difference

    Draw the ace
    don't be picky
    Steady steps
    mechanically driven
 
    Time, a macabre prank
    sinks deep
    The night train maintains its route

Anxiety's Child

Anxiety's child
grows deep in me.

The seed of woe
and misery.

Impregnated
by my fears.

Embryo fed
by swallowed tears.

Yet I shall never
give her birth.

For she only
maintains her worth

by blackening
my heart and soul

and rendering 
my life's blood

cold.

Golden Heart

Buried under troubles, A golden heart lay. 
Deserving but ignored having been given away. 
Continues to support without demands, maintains wellness. 
Not from desire but its role in sustaining life. 
The heart functions as the organ of love, 
Sensitive to pain, inactivity, 
Does all that's necessary, For the sake of one.

Oak

The grim timber for destructive constructs
Of war machines, of spears and arrows
In time of terror, its somber moan chills air
And fuels the hottest fires of the forge

Ever unfazed, the Oak maintains
That ghastly ambiance of buried winging
Post and pending conflict 
Its song remains the same.

Without Might No One Can Protect

without might
                                              no one can protect
                                                    honesty

                                                king maintains
                                             citizens bow down

Van Gogh's Starry Night

Bleak sky of blues, stars gave rise to a miracle been made, Streak of a sprawl unfurls his heavens tethered madness, Speak not lest he loses his concentration, maintains focus, Meek town his groundwork, lofty jewel amidst the sadness. 2020 January 28 Arbitrium Divisa 7 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Gregory R Barden

The Journey

The rise and fall of Empires 
The rhythm of existence
The story of Nations 
The sequence of life 

As a Nation as a man 
The story is same
Only appearance differs
The component is the whole 
The Whole is what makes it up

Rising and falling 
Even in one lifetime 
Life maintains its sequence 
Undulating to test the voyager

Smoke Detector of Sewage

Sewage of a signature smell
coming for the Smoke detector
by the intake of a cooling and heating

how clever, how sick
you will never be
voted the best of operations
to repair maintains

itchy, itchy, smell like rotten hell
but will sum (some)one go to jail...
not in the this pound (town)
not in this life bind (time)

Fixed

Beware your saviours.
But why bother learning now?
Indulge yourselves some dignity, best give up and lie down.

It's what you wanted.
Don't dare ask why or how.
Built empires off your backs you simply furnished them a crown.

One fix the other.
And all you get is broke.
Short-changing you maintains their float so in their debt you drown.

Darkness

The darkness shrouds me
It's loving embrace
Holds me in place
Here, I feel free

It comes to surround me
An emotionless state
Here, I create
Balance eternity

Darkness brings liberty
Dries tears from face
A pitstop in the race
Displaces or maintains sanity

Dispose of tragedy
To quickly replace
Clean slate, erased
Darkness sets me free

Autumn Splendor

Auras of assorted color
Undulating with the breeze
Tolerating the alchemy
Until the seasonal period
Maintains demands for
Naked limbs diverged of their burden.

Splashing downpours
Playfully cascading upon
Lovers enveloped in a sweet
Embrace. A breath of
Novelty in creation
Discovering a balance
Of order in the
Ripening buds for contemplation.

A Wish

Sadness.
My aching heart
strains to pump
its crimson life
and thus maintains
the whetted blade,
in dark forbode,
upon my neck. 

And tears,
whose flow
might ransom
my tormented mind,
lie dormant as
dry and
withered seeds
upon unyielding stone.

Might, instead,
I someday rise
and gaze transfixed
into the wholesome sky
with feelings of
forgotten love
that dare to
live again.

A Cop and a Nurse

A cop serves the safety of the people;
A nurse takes care of the sick people.

A cop maintains peace and order;
A nurse is the eye of the doctor.

A cop is ready to die for the country;
A nurse is willing to sacrifice for his patient.

A cop is a living hero of the nation;
A nurse is a best friend of a dying person.

A cop defends victims in crime;
A nurse protects patient's bill of rights.

Charting the Unknown (Revised)

While traveling through a mist of lost direction; 
My search is for memories left behind.
I am tethered to the present by a silken line which I cling to as;
A  Protection against all fears of the unknown;
And the future (as always) maintains its ambiguity.
      And with my guitar comes a melody;
     That fits a fore lone song;
     And with the lyrics comes this mystery.
     Is what has passed now gone?

We the Sheep

This 'COVID 19'
  is Trump's fault
The Dems say
  because he delayed

The GOP maintains
  The Dems went insane
Each party blaming the other
  as 'We the People' suffer

And who among us trusts
  the reports from China or Iran
Can we be sure this is not a plot
  to bring down Washington
 
Will we ever know the truth
  -- Assuredly not, for
World leaders pay us no heed
  ~ We the sheep to slaughter

The Racing Mind's Pillow

Relieving it is to know
How God won't project in a show
The slide of our lives all now
But per time maintains the flow
as He calculatively unto us bestow
His genuine intents long kept on the low


If only we'd gladly receive the blow
and not in a haste take a bow
but allow Him to expertise below
then will He walk us to the front row
and with His royal treasuries,He'll endow
making multitudes astonishingly bellow, WOW!
