True Grit

marathon runner
all the way with a sprained knee ~
           a sheer force of will

Cheesy Feet

A marathon runner called Peter
His shoes had a terrible fetor
It lingered in the breeze
smelling just like stale cheese
and got worse when he sat by a heater!

The stoppage nowhere 
Time is marathon runner 
Timeout love seeks lust 
Raining of the outside heart 
Never can quench its fierce thirst

Out of time 
love becomes lust, life becomes dangerous and suffers much

Marathon Runner:-
miles and miles I stroll
without an inch of tiredness -
distant runner mind.




Magic of Words:-
evil words uttered
with vigour of voice die out -
good softly blaze forth.




Display of Hearts:-
fiery form of Sun
and fools' vanity utter -
both displaying hearts.

Boston Marathon

BOSTON MARATHON

(Dedicated to the victims of Boston’s marathon)


How many times the beast
Of malice,
With Its claws the flesh of humanity
Has apart to tear, 
Before the righteous up united would
Stand
And put an end to this dreadful 
Fear?

*As a former marathon runner myself, having taken part in many races, I am 
very much touched by this heinous crime against the innocent and the sports!

Courage of the Heart

   How does a Wallenda fly on a trapeze
     How does ‘Houdini’ escape with such ease   

   How does a warrior rise from his sickbed
     Is it courage of the heart or that of the head

   How does a marathon runner persist
     in howling pain from a severe ankle twist

   How does a fireman jump from six stories high
     brush off debris and say, ‘Nothing’s awry’

   Is it courage of the heart or that of the head ~
     or perhaps heaven's hand overspread

A Special Marathon Runner

Last night, I awoke drenched in a cold sweat..

At the finish line, a lei placed around my neck.

The cameras clicked, oh, how the crowd roared!

The joy, rumbled to be once again, adored!

I had ran hill and dale, to be at the top.

Tired of wheelchairs, this just had to, stop.

The winds of the Pacific, cooled my brow.

The past was dead, the time to live was now!
